Wendy Ooi's Farewell @ Red Box

Last Wednesday, 23 July 2008 was my colleague, Wendy Ooi's last day at work. The entire Sales & Marketing team from The Northam All Suite, Penang together with my boss, the Hotel Manager, Mr Jeffrey Tan joined Wendy for a Karaoke session at Red Box. Soo Theng was also invited to the Karaoke but then, she was still down with flu and cough. Soo Theng joined the singing session till 12.30am, I left together with her. Some of my team members continued singing till 2.45am together with my boss.

To Wendy, I wish her all the very best in her new job ! Let's stay in touch always ...

Nanthini's Visit

After 6 months away to Doha, Nanthini is back to Malaysia because of her sister's wedding in Johore. While she is back, she took the opportunity to stopover in Penang to pay both Soo Theng and myself a visit. We only had a night with Nanthini because the 2nd night was reserved for her catching up session with "The Boys" from THP's F&B Office.

At Soo Theng's place (evening of 24 June 2008), I cooked Tau Yew Bak and Fried Bee Hoon with the can Pork Chop. Nanthini simply loved it very much. Angeline also joined us for the dinner. After dinner, we went to G-Spot at G-Hotel for a drink and listening to some jazz music before we called it a night at about 11.30pm ! It was really great to have met up with Nanthini and we hope to see her again in the not too distant future .... hopefully, the next time when she comes back, she brought along her "extra baggage", some Sheikh from the Middle East Kingdom !

My 38th Birthday !

Celebrated my 38th Birthday on 14 June at Uptown at Upper Penang Road. Bought 2 bottles of Chivas, invited my entire Sales & Marketing team members together with my 2 bosses, Mr FC Chong, GM of Gurney Hotel and Mr Jeffrey Tan, HM of Northam All Suite, Penang.

We had good fun, lots of laughter and singing all night long. We ended the evening at about 10.30pm ... some of us continued to "Moist", a nearby nightspot ... I went for a little while before heading home .... was too tired to continue ....

Long Awaited Holiday !

Departed Penang on 1 May 2008 to Beijing to visit my dear brother Dennis Chin G Don who had left Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa to pursue his career as a Director of Rooms in Raffles Beijing. I have stayed with brother for 10 nights before departing to Shanghai to stay with Goh Voon Choong for another 4 nights before coming back to Penang on 14 May 2008.

The trip was awesome and I have had a good rest. Don't feel like coming back though ! Check out some of the pix that I have taken during my trip to China..... In the meantime, I look forward to my next holiday ... hopefully, this year end !
