Events Oh Events

Following up on my previous post on September 17.

As mentioned, set-up for our event that night can only be done at 2am. Event was at KL Hilton but we booked at Le Meridien. Reason because it was RM60 cheaper but the room still came up to RM500+ a night! For a small room without breakfast: So not worth it!

Small room but very cozy.

The toilet had speakers hidden somewhere. So when you o the TV or radio, it plays in the bathroom as well.

To jump away from pictures of the hotel for a short while, set-up that night was a nightmare. 
All 3 ballrooms in KL Hilton was used that night & they had really massive set-up which took like forever to take down which effected our set-up.

To make matters worst, the security was giving our suppliers a hard time. They didn't allow them up even after we had filled in the form of the workers names earlier. They insisted on seeing the immigrant workers passport! They had their worker ID card but said they needed passport! Hello....you don't expect a worker to be bringing their passport everywhere they go & plus the hotel did not inform us earlier.

So after fighting & negotiating, they allowed them in. At 3am! The backdrop had some issues so by the time we were done, it was 6am! & I had to get up at 7.30am to get ready for the event. So, I only had 1 1/2 hours of sleep that night.

Back to pictures of the hotel: In the morning.

I love the fact that the windows are fully glassed from top to bottom. When you stand at the window, you feel like you're flying! Seriously!

The view. It was a nice view. Could even see KL Tower & Petronas Twin Tower.

Even only getting 1 1/2 hour of sleep, I still had to smile!

With the client.

Yay! Successful event makes the client smile & me too!
Don't ask why I am like a sore thumb! Already wearing red then want to be taller than everyone else. =S

September 17

When I found out last week that September 17 was a Selangor Holiday, I wanted to jump for joy. But I was in office, so I just smiled. Happily wanting to jot it down in my dairy, I literally stoned as I saw on my September 18 "box" I wrote "Project Insights (SMG). This time I literally said out loud "NOOOOOO"!

An event on the very next day! How am I going to print the press kits? How am I going to call the media? I tried calming myself that maybe I could finalize & print all the documents for the press kit on September 16 & on September 17 I can call the media from home?

To cut things short, I am now in office on September 17, a Selangor Public Holiday! 
& to make things worst, the set up in the hotel tonight can only be done at blady 2am in the morning because the event tonight in the ballroom only ends at 12am & they have massive set-up! Good thing is my boss booked a room for us so we don't have to go back home.

Sigh, & I just realized I forgot to bring my handphone charger.

Hello; random me

Sigh, the stupid stand fan in my office is making funny sounds.
Everytime is turns, it sounds like a lady having an orgasm from a distance. *no kidding*

Work is killing me slowly but surely.
On a different note, here is what I call a complete mouth watering meal that never cease to pleasure.

Banana leaf rice with 3 vege..*OMG*

With an extra dish of mutton, papadam, rasam & a refreshing drink.

Drooling?
