Max @ Tingkat Tong Shin

the team was REALLY hungry during dinner on the 10th of Nov... why? well... dinner was supposed to be at 8.30pm.. but SOMEone came late.... (he's not in the pics here... heheh - sorry Damon! .. ooppss!)

dinner was at Max Kitchen and wine, it was one of our so-called monthly team outings and this time we treated ourselves to FINE dining dinner.. but because of our nature... do you think we can behave as how we SHOULD at a fine dinning restaurant? think twice!! that's why, we got the upstairs of the restaurant - ALL to ourselves... hahahah...

so.. WHILE waiting for our food.. we.. well... cam whored... nothing else to do mah!

we know it's getting late.. and it was about 9.30.. still no food... and as u can see, Mr Ku is getting angry... "A Hungry Man, is an ANGRY Man" (or was is the other way round?)

FINALLY!!!! the food started to come.... everyone was relieved...

appetizers - duck

appetizers - mushrooms

appetisers - vegetarian

main - beef main - vegetarian

main - seafood

extra - beef cheeks

dessert - before and after

so after downing our dinner.. EVERYONE was satisfied with the food... Max Chin really did a good job.. BRAVO Max Chin!

and because of eating too much.. or had too much wine.... someone go "lost".... hehehehe looks like the Canadian still doesn't know his way around here

Bangkok Jazz @ Jln Raja Chulan

after a full tummy... drinks are supposed to wash them down.. so half the team wanted to go to Velvet @ Zouk.. unfortunately, we were abit late and the place were packed.. so.... decided for some nice Jazz music to relax...

though.. because we were late... it was only about an hr or so we spent in Bangkok Jazz till the live band stopped playing...

getting bored i see?

...or sleepy or drunk?

anyway, some of us had a long day moving the whole department from one corner of the floor to the other corner, so again, half the group went home... we ARE grateful to u guys for moving our stuffs... *muacks*

the rest... moved on to twentyone!

twentyone @ Changkat Bukit Bintang

so the final 4 didn't have enough and decided to continue partying at twentyone...

a shot each of Sambuca for friendship!

sigh... so when the club started to closed we were exhausted.... luckily the next day was a sunday... a day to recuperate!! hahahah but found out that SOMEone had to take MC for mon and tues.... 3 days to recuperate from clubbing? common bro!!!

but we did promised ourselves that we'll make this a monthly outing... :D

just one of those days...

*not sure if it really happened to our agents, but i got this email from one of them....

I had this conversation recently with a lady who swore she had been using computers since forever.

Tech Support: "All right. Now click 'OK'."
Customer: "Click 'OK'?"
Tech Support: "Yes, click 'OK'."
Customer: "Click 'OK'?"
Tech Support: "That's right. Click 'OK'."
Customer: "So I click 'OK', right?"
Tech Support: "Right. Click 'OK'."

Pause.

Customer: "I clicked 'Cancel'."
Tech Support: "YOU CLICKED 'CANCEL'???"
Customer: "That's what I was supposed to do, right?"
Tech Support: "No, you were supposed to click 'OK'."
Customer: "I thought you said to click 'Cancel'."
Tech Support: "NO. I said to click 'OK'."
Customer: "Oh."
Tech Support: "Now we have to start over."
Customer: "Why?"
Tech Support: "Because you clicked 'Cancel'."
Customer: "Wasn't I supposed to click 'Cancel'?"
Tech Support: "No. Forget that. Let's start from the top."
Customer: "Ok."

I spent the next fifteen minutes re-constructing the carefully crafted setup for this lady's unique computer.

Tech Support: "All right. Now, are you ready to click 'OK'?"
Customer: "Yes."
Tech Support: "Great. Now click 'OK'."

Pause.

Customer: "I clicked 'Cancel'."

.....And people wonder why my mouse pad has a target on it labeled "BANG HEAD HERE."

Noreen's Raya Open House

Fauzi's Raya Open House

from Fendi's place... we headed through the horrible jam at the Gombak/Wangsa Maju highway (i have no idea what's it called... MRR2?) towards Ampang.. i think it's Tmn Bukit Indah to be exact.... but Fendi didn't join us as he still had guests coming over to his hse...

we had 3 cars in a convoy to Fauzi's place... and all 3 were stuck in the jam... we had Fauzi to meet us at a meeting point to follow him to his grandparent's place... his hse - no parking... so we went....

grandma's place was cosy... lil kampung house.. no gates or fences, hens running around the gardens, with a scared cat in the hse.... and of course, the food... wonderful... there we had fried beehoon / or meehoon as some ppl call it with nasi briani with chic curry, pickled veg, papadam, lots of drinks and papayas.... AND we were stuffed again! hahaha gosh

had short conversations with grandma and grandpa.... (grandma's chinese btw)... and met Fauzi's parents and lil sister too

then we headed to Fauzi's place because we wanted to see his hse... so... another convoy to his hse which is actually about 5 mins drive.. but then again the traffic jam in Tmn Kosas, Ampang... sigh....

everyone were full and tired from the long day of eating... no funny funny pics here..

at Fauzi's place, we got to know more of his family.. but i think they interviewed us more! LOL hahahahah....but it was all good, at least we got to see the parents of our colleagues! Thanks Fauzi for inviting us!
