It's time for a break.. 18-21 Sep 09

Looking forward to that Hari Raya long weekend.. then suddenly Cheryl and I were so obsessed in going to Thailand for shopping.. knew that we could not apply leave together plus our manager not around too.. I still tried my luck.. Haha.. Jac approved our leave!

Looking thru the rates and hotel, we confirmed the booking in just one day. Yeah!

18 Sep, Friday - Thailand here we go!

Thanks Dear for sending me to the airport..

Looked happy right? How I wish you could go too.. But Dear, you are not going in the Departure Gate.. Next time k? Take me to HK? haha..

Yes, this is my travel partner - Cheryl the Gong Zhu.. The happy TWO started to get excited over the shopping once we got in the Departure.. haha..
This was our plane.. Cathay. Looked a lot more bigger than those JetStar, AirAsia...

Reached our hotel at around 4.30pm, got some problems with our room, so switch to another room with Queen size bed.. got out at around 5.30pm.. First stop was Platinum Mall - Wholesale for Fashion. Been there the last time when it was newly opened, not all the stores are filled, but this time round, there were alot of shops and we were unable to cover the whole mall. The mall closes at 7-7.30pm.

Definitely got buy things lah.. haha.. Went to A&W for dinner cos we still got agenda later on... Look at this cute curry rice.. And of course the over-flowed root beer float.. I looked so hungry and happy right?

They shaped the rice to a bear.. so cute right? Can see the nose? haha

First thing we did was to try on the clothes we bought..

Cos Platinum is a no-trying mall (they are wholesale mah..) Bought the same dress.. haha

Yes.. the next place for the night.. Moonbar at Banyan Tree Hotel.. This place was Cheryl's recommendation and she said that this is a must go place for chill out.. She was right! This rooftop bar is on the 61st floor.. Look at the magnificent scenery.. Can view almost the whole of Bangkok!

Ordered this orange, peach dunnoe what Vodka.. forgot the name liao.. haha.. quite nice lah..

I like this photo.. Thanks Cheryl.. haha.. The view is so nice right? Got chance have to go there for dinning although one dinner is going to cost like $100 per pax without desert and appetizer.. haha..

This photo was very blurred, the waiter helped us to take one... wasted loh..

Got back to hotel at around 1am.. Skipped Suan Lum Market which was our plan cos kanna the taxi driver who took us to Banyan Tree.. He heard some Banyani, then took us on a cab tour around Bangkok loh.. Stupid.. But anyway, I enjoyed myself.. Looking forward to the next day shopping spree..

Happy Cooking Event at Bossini Takashimaya S.C. 5 Sep 09

Yes, another happy event by Bossini. This time round we invited Bryan Wong, Michelle Chong, Peifen to join in the fun event. Bryan and Michelle cooked 2 happy dishes for our shoppers.. And it was such a coicidence that we had 3 events consecutive on the same date for 3 years. 2007 - Rebranding, 2008 - Flagship store re-opening, 2009 - Happy cooking event, all on 5 Sep.

Look at the stage setup, amazed right? A stage set-up for cooking in a fashion retail store.

Got to report to work at 8am for setup. Look at how shagged I appeared on that day.. haha..

Oh yar, this happy cooking event is to launch our Campbell's collection.. So, not forgetting to take this cool window setup by our VM. Full of soup.. And Miss Cheryl was wearing the Campbell tee.

Time to start work.. Bryan was the first to arrive.. So brief him on his role again and familiarised the stage setup. This was the first time for him to cook 'LIVE' in a store - not kitchen. Anyway, he was really experienced, so this was chicken feet to him.

And the show started with Peifen introducing the both of them.. Then of course, they intro their ingredients..

Look at the crowd in our store.. All gathered around to watch the cooking session.. The audience got a chance to taste and vote for their favourite dish. So, they had to stay to watch.. Apparently, they really stayed to watch the show. 1.5hr - Good!

Michelle cooking and smiling to the camera.. Look at her yummy sauce for her

"Happy Yummy Chicky Linguine".

Bryan looked like a pro chef.. Cooking and sweating at the same time.. He was very funny.. Trying to engage the audience at all times.. Really outshined Michelle.

Michelle presenting her "Happy Yummy Chicky Linguine"

Bryan presenting his "Happy Rockety Chicken". Looks delicious right?

And then we had the audience to taste and vote for their favourite dish.. haha..

Seemed like they were enjoying themselves..

Think there is no need to count liao.. It was obvious that Bryan had won the votes.. We had goodie bags for 3 lucky voters who voted for Bryan.. Plus, Bryan took out a special keychain and present it to his 4th lucky voter.. So pro right? Value-add..

A&P team with Bryan and Michelle..

Too bad, didn't get the chance to take with Peifen and she was so pretty that day..

At last, the event was over.. Shagged... Another one coming up again..

This was really bad cos grandpa just happened to pass away on 31 Aug. The week of intense preparation for the event, and being the project owner.. I was really sad, stucked and stressed. Not enought time. Thanks Cheryl for helping and backing up.. Thanks Babe!
