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 !

My KL Trip !

I went down to KL last Saturday after work and spent a night in Royal Bintang Hotel (compliments from my former boss, Mr Leo Kuscher, GM). My main purpose was to shop and also to have a tattoo done on my leg. Take a look at the slides and you'll see that I have had a butterfly done near my ankle (cost me RM250 !) .... I must admit that it was really, really painful ... what to do, no PAIN, no GAIN !

Loads of Fun @ Genting Highlands

Last weekend, I went to Genting Highlands for a 2D/1N short getaway with my friends and colleagues. There were 7 on us who went in a hired van. On the way there, near Bukit Merah, the #&*#&@! van broke down due to no water in the radiator. We have only managed to arrive at Genting Highlands at 11.30pm, after 9 hours of travelling !

On the way back from Genting Highlands, the stupid van's air-conditioned broke down. Can you imagine that we had to rely on the wind from outside our van ??? We stopped at Ipoh to eat everyone's all time favorite ... "Ipoh Hor Fun and Taugeh Steamed Chicken". That was really good and yummy. Arrived back home at 9.30pm ... Our trip had been interesting and I have enjoyed it very much with my colleagues and friends.

Totalife 12th Anniversary Celebration

Saturday, 17 November till Sunday, 18 November 2007, as a qualified DO, I was given a FREE ticket to attend Totalife 12th Anniversary Majestic Celebration at Genting Highlands. A total of 130 of us departed from Penang on Saturday at approximately 7.30am and with 3 stops in between, we have managed to arrive Genting Highlands at 3.00pm to check-in at First World Hotel.


At 6.30pm, we all assembled at Genting International Convention Centre, Grand Ballroom where the Majestic Celebration was held. Many awards and cash bonuses were given out to their Achievers of many different levels. A slimming contest was also held with the contestants who have managed to shed- off 30kgs and above. The main highlight for that evening was a live performance by Elaine Kang who has sung a number of oldies such as River of Babylon, Hero, Celebration and many others.

A trip to Genting Highlands would not be complete without a visit to their casino. I have taken this opportunity to check-out their new slot machines and have heavily invested in their 2 cents machines !!!

We departed for Penang on Sunday at 4.00pm and by the time I arrived back home, it was already 11.30pm. The trip has been an eye-opener for me ... witnessing how much Totalife has helped it's members to lose weight and gained back their curves. I am very convince that I also can have those curves if I controlled my eating habit.

Short Shopping Spree (3-S)

Friday night, 26 October (immediately after work @ 7.30pm) to Sunday almost midnight, 28 October 2007, we (Soo Theng, Nanthini and I) were away to the capital city of Malaysia. Soo Theng's main trip purpose is to attend their "class of 89" reunion dinner at One World Hotel while our (Nanthini & I) main purpose is to shop, shop and shop.

On the way to KL, we have actually stopped at Ipoh to have the famous "Ngah Choi Kai and Ipoh Hor Fun" in Loh Wong Kopi Tiam. We arrived at Traders Hotel, KL just as the clock striked midnight.

Taken from "3-S"

The next morning, we went to "The Pavillion" the latest shopping mall at Bukit Bintang area and I must say that this is one of the biggest mall in Kuala Lumpur with many different Anchor Tenants from many different brands. After "heavy" shopping, we headed back to the hotel for a short rest before heading to Estee Soo's condo to drop off Soo Theng.

Soo Theng and Estee went to their reunion dinner while, Nanthini and I went to 1-Utama to continue our shopping. Later, after we all returned to hotel at about 10.15pm, Nanthini joined her sister, Shanthini and hubby, Jegan and friends at Sky Bar and they were later joined by Soo Theng and Estee.

Sunday morning, we all continued shopping at KLCC before going to IKEA for more shopping in the afternoon. At about 7.30pm, we headed home to Penang and reached back to the island at approximately 11.30pm. We have all truly enjoyed our "3-S" .... Short Shopping Spree.

Until the next one .. most probably just before Christmas ..... :-)

Investment at Genting Highlands !

Sunday, 14 October 2007, my Brother, Jeremy made an impromptu suggestion that we go up to Genting Highlands to try our luck with Uncle Lim Goh Tong. I seconded the idea and we decided to drag our aunty to tag along ....

Guess what ? We all ended up investing our money with Genting Highlands' Monte Carlo Casino for our future visits ...

A short break to Ko Samui !

Wednesday to Friday i.e. 3 to 5 October 2007, Dennis, Soo Theng and I decided to take a short break to Ko Samui. Although it was a short holiday, we have actually maximised our time by lining up many exciting activities and making sure that not a minute is wasted. Take a look at the slides and you will see how much fun we had at Ko Samui.

Above all, I have enjoyed this trip very much with my good friends; Soo Theng and Dennis. It's a pity that Nanthini is not able to join us this time ... but, I am sure she will come with us on our next holiday trip... Until the next one ...

Wendy & Soo Theng to Magical Kingdom !

In February 2006, Soo Theng had to attend a Shangri-La event in Hong Kong and she has kindly invited me to tag along with her. We were there for a 3N/4D in Island Shangri-La before we end our Hong Kong trip in Disneyland Hong Kong for a 1N/2D vacation.

While Soo Theng was busy in her Shangri-La event, I went on shopping spree .... bought 7 bottles of perfumes, a set of pendant and earrings from Agatha, an Aldo working shoes and a lot of other small stuffs. On the 4th day, we took a train to the Magical Kingdom ... guess what ? the train that we ride to Disneyland has many Mickey's heads ... from window frame to the passengers' handrail, to seats, etc.

It was really magical and Disneyland's Kingdom has always been well liked by everyone ... from young to old. We both went on many different rides and had good fun till went up to the "Space Mountain", an indoor roller coaster ride which actually scared the hell out of me !!! At the end of the ride, I could not walk properly ... my whole body was shaking so badly that I almost threw out.

The afternoon was not to be missed .... we actually saw their parade with all their Disney's characters showing off their skills ! Many different characters were there in full costumes ... Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Snow While and Seven Dwarfs, Toy Story and many others.

We end the evening with a big bang ... witnessing their spectacular Fire Works display !!! Wow, it was an amazing experience !!!!
