Wendy to DOEM Workshop

Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa has kindly sent me to Beijing for 3 days/2 nights in July 2006 for a Director of Events Management Workshop held in China World Hotel. I must say that the workshop was very interesting and informative and from there, I have met all my counterparts from all over Shangri-La.

Not to forget, shopping was great there ... especially in the silk market and the electronics departmental store ... we were all so excited and happy because we have managed to buy a MP4 for only RM90 ... what a bargain !!! However, when we came back to Malaysia, the MP4 is so lousy that it cannot be played ! What a rip-off !

Other than that, we have bought plenty of silk stuff such as cushion covers, tissue box holders, table runners and many others. My other friends have bought many handbags ... from Gucci to Prada and from LV to Coach ....

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 !!!!
