Media Prima Raya Open House 2012

Since now is still Raya, I thought this entry should cut queue to be posted up first!

Media Prima had this Raya Open House last Thursday at Sime Darby Convention Centre. As usual, my company will be invited and at first I thought of giving this a pass due to my heavy workload lately but after much persuasion from my colleagues, I decided to join in the fun with them :)


We were supposed to leave the office early at 4.30pm but since everyone was very busy with work, we left at about 5.10pm (with me leading the way to SBCC) and the jam was already bad :( And I was running low on petrol =x

However, luck was on my side because I found a parking by the roadside the moment I arrive! :D


Once I was joined by the rest of my colleagues, we took a group photo and were led into the hall by the exec who handles our account and man, it's freaking packed!

Look at the crowd!

The standard Raya performances throughout the evening

My colleagues asked if I've spotted any hunks that night and we all agreed that even if there is, we couldn't tell if they are Malay or Chinese as most people were in traditional Malay costumes. But I spotted handsome Malays that night! :D

Servings for 4 girls

Yes I'm not kidding. We were famished so we immediately went to grab some food and came back with these hahahaha

And oh yes, we managed to finish it all.

The beautiful Kenix and Amanda

Soo Yin, myself, Jolyn and Karen

Our 3 beautiful Management Trainees ^^

The ever sexy and funny SS, Kenix and banana hahahaha

Our company's A&P team!

After a hearty meal, I demanded everyone to have a photo taken with "our" newspaper front page cutout.

Look ma! I'm on Berita Harian front page hahahahaha

Here's the page. 

And I looked like I'm about to give birth FML.

The baju kurung gang

The representatives from my company :) 

Dodol as door gift

Apparently many local celebrities came but I can't identify any of them. I have to admit that I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to our local celebrities so who knows a celebrity actually stood beside me while ordering our rojak and I didn't know wtf. Overall it was quite a fun event even though it was very packed and we weren't being attended as much as I would have expected but at least the yummy food make up to it. WE ARE ALL A GLUTTON! :p


Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Events Attended for the First Half of the Year!

Finally an update after 5 months of hiatus!

If I have to provide a good reason for the lack of update, I would say that my life is far more exciting than staying behind the keyboard :p Life has been treating me well with many events and outings that I'm unable to blog them all!


So many places, food and activities that I want to share with you guys but I've been really, really busy with work as well as personal life but starting from today, I promise that I'll try my very best to update whenever I could without compromising on the quality of each post/review.

Here's a quick update on the events I've been to lately before I hit the sack.


CLEO 50 Most Eligible Bachelors 2012

Invitation card and goodie bag (not impressed at all with their goodie bag!).

Was invited to the event above as a VIP. Yes, please be very jealous.

Dress Code: Sexy Sporty

Seriously, I felt damn cheated by the dress code because I was being silly to have faith in Malaysians to dress up according to the theme and ended up looking like a joker because everyone else dressed to the nines!

Next time anyhow also wear prettily to parties!! Screw the dress code!!!

Accompanied to the event by my 2 beautiful colleagues ^^

The 3 of us kept whacking on the finger food because we went there without dinner and we were famished! We felt so embarrassed because the rest of the people were so "atas" and they weren't eating at all hahahaha

I don't pretend where ever I'm at. I'm hungry, I eat.


Krabi Trip 2012

I went on this pretty last minute trip with friends to Krabi and I thought of blogging about it since the photos taken were quite pretty (if I may say so myself :p) but since it has passed for a couple of months, I'm not sure if you guys are interested to read or not.


Probably I will because I realised that all my popular entries read are my travelogue and food review :)

Nick, Kei, Cax and Jac.

He's not my bf wtf I'm still not off the market. This photo's up because I think I looked quite "chic" here hahahaha

Had quite an enjoyable time in Krabi despite the place didn't live up to my expectation. I love the sea and white sandy beaches in general so I'm not going to complain ;)

Eat and drink the way the locals did.

Ohya! Because we were so bored there, we actually went fishing omg! My first fishing experience and I caught the BIGGEST fish that day! :D

I was hiding behind that man because... because... I was afraid of live fishes FML.

The other 3 can't stop laughing at me for this because they can't believe a tough looking girl like me are afraid of small thing like this T_T

Will blog about Krabi after sorting out the hundreds of photos taken!

Jay Park Showcase in Malaysia 2012

Please be jealous again.

I got free tickets to Jay Park's showcase so I dragged my guy friend along who's into K-pop and we enjoyed ourselves although it was a short one (about 1 hour?).

All I can say is, Jay Park is pretty cute and shy in real life! ;)


Southern Visit

Due to work request, my colleague and I went down to Johor Bahru (my first time despite being a Malaysian!!!) and Malacca for a couple of days. It was an enjoyable trip despite working from day to night and it's fun to be treated like a VIP too :p

I must admit that there's nothing much we can do in JB and the malls are pretty rundown. I'm not saying this because I'm a PJ girl and I'm comparing the malls here with JB but I'm saying this in a general point of view.


My stay in Malacca was brief but fun! The local rep brought me around while my colleague provides training to our BAs and we had eally good local food - not those commercialized places with long queues that you usually see!

Would love to pay Malacca a visit again soon!


Steamboat Party

The glorious food for more than 20 pax hand washed and prepared by me alone in the kitchen after work. Hard work ok!

Ever since we had this mini primary school gathering last December, we have been pretty close to each other and we kept organizing yamcha and dinners together. A couple of months back my friend offered her bf's party house for us to throw a steamboat party, gambling and drinking.

We even went for a night swim at the pool and the guys pushed me into the pool when I was caught off guard! Forever I'll remember that moment wtf.

Despite being bullied by you guys most of the time, I still love all of you nonetheless! 

The people above are about half of those who came that day and whom I'm close to. The rest I don't bother lah! LOL!


Guardian Annual Dinner

Theme: A Touch of Orange

I know it's not peach and not orange. I don't care because I don't want to look like an orange walking around! I'm already very round wtf.

I still can't believe I was chosen to represent my brand and company with other managers!

The representatives from my company with the Guardian peeps!

My ranking's the lowest some more! Intimidated T_T


Guardian Customers' Choice Award

About a month of 2 after their annual dinner, here comes their CCA and I'm chosen to go again.

Door gift.

Guardian worked with Evian to come out with this limited edition Evian bottle. I gave it to my friend who collects Evian bottles and she's damn happy! :D

With my beautiful colleague in front of the backdrop.

HOT Magazine 200th Issue Party

The dress that got praised upon arrival. Dress got praised. Not the owner.

Event was held at Stage, K.L. and it was my first time in Stage! Quite a nice club I must say!

Overall, the event was quite fun with many local celebrities who came to support like Amber Chia, Chelsia, Liang, Kenny Sia, etc. Goodie bag given was okay - at least better than CLEO's hahahaha :p

Chilling out at Jalan Changkat.

Since the night was still young when the event ended so I brought Kenix to Jalan Changkat for a drink and people watching! Banyak angmoh hehehehe


Beauty Workshop

My very cute and funny colleague.

My brand just had an event/workshop last month and I have to admit that this event was a last minute request from my manager and it gave me sleepless nights prior to the event day. Everyday worry about the recruitment, F&B, decorations, etc.

I'm in-charged of everything about the event from A-Z!!!

I was the emcee on that day.

 I also have to do presentation and product hands on.

"Great news" was, I woke up with a fever, flu and cough and up until today, I'm still amazed at how I managed to pull through the whole event from morning till late evening under such condition.


All in all, I gained even more valuable experience through this event and I'm so glad that all participants who signed up earlier actually turned up - making this event a successful one.

Management team.

I'd also like to give a big thank you to my team who helped me through this with your unconditional support and encouragement.

Apparently after this event, we'll be having even MORE events coming up FML. Moreeee stressful days coming up! T_T

My First Virgin Charity Run

Yeap, that's right.

I used to be a very athletic person during the schooling days but that's already the past and now I'm nothing but a white collar worker who has sold my soul to my company no time to exercise.


When I told my friends that I've joined a marathon (organised by my holding company), all they said to me was, "Don't joke lah..." T_T How motivating. Even they are not convinced that I'm able to complete the race with my current stamina.


Since this run was for charity, I decided to just go ahead because for every participants who completed the race, our main sponsor will be donating RM50 to the charity homes. I mean, WHY NOT??


The run was on last Sunday (24/7/11) and I deliberately stayed at home on Saturday night in order to have enough rest and sleep but ended up not sleeping at all because I have to freaking wake up at 4.30am! Meet up at office by 5.30am!! Crazy or not??


While waiting for the rest to arrive, I joined my other 2 Chinese colleagues for breakfast at the dim sum shop. This is what you call "true dim sum breakfast" at 5.30am okay!!! Not 9 or 10am wtf.

Ohya, even the dim sum fella don't believe me that I'm going for for marathon FML.

Nicky, Jacqueline, LY, Jaclyn, Yen.

After registering ourselves (at about 6am), we gathered to do some warm ups together before the run at 7am.

Us with Angie on far left.

I really don't mind staying up late but pleaseeee don't ask me to wake up early T_T

The very outstanding looking lady (second from right) is my MD.

I'm seriously very proud of my MD! She's 71 years old and she completed the marathon way earlier than some people!!! 71 ok!!!


The run was pretty short actually - 5km. I was surprised that I managed to even complete the run without prior preparation instead of being carried away by an ambulance halfway through wtf. A couple of us from FA were among the earliest to finish and we began to fool around, chatting and whacking all the free drinks available (coffee, isotonic & energy drinks).


I was among the earliest to arrive!!! *tears of joy*


Want to know my secret?

Jaclyn's marathon strategies:-
1. While jogging, I kept telling myself "I don't want to be the last... I don't want to be the last..."
2. Ran for my life the moment the road is going downhill. Walk when it's going uphill.
3. When uncles and aunties above the age of 40 overtook me, the kiasu-ness prevails and I anyhow also want to overtake them back to save myself some grace.

The colour of my hair is so outstanding! I love it!!

We started to take heaps of photos when almost everyone was back because there's a photography competition where the best photos will win some cash! WE WANT TO WIN!!!

This guy who's making a funny face is our Area Manager.

He sweated so much, the paper pinned to his chest torn and colour inked on his t-shirt LMAO!!!!

Showing passionate faces after the tiring run.

My face was flushing red that I actually freaked some people out -_-

The team who completed the 5km run for charity!!!

This is about half of the people we have at HQ office and outlet staff are, unfortunately, not allowed to participate.



We tried to do a few jump shots but all of it failed because our timing and coordination sucked BIG TIME! Or maybe the photographer's lousy I don't know :p

Among us, Jay (the guy who stood in front) was the best jumper! He jumped super high as if he's on a trampoline or something! Don't believe me? Check out these photos of him jumping!!

#3

That's a very gay photo of me but I'm sacrificing my image in order to show you guys how high Jay can jump *dedicated blogger* T_T

This was our last event with the company :)

Myself, Yen, LY, Jes, Angie.

I don't remember what I was laughing at but why lah make me laugh when I'm taking photo???? I look ugly when I laugh T_T


So far, I think I was probably the only person in the office who has no problem in walking (my legs didn't ache at all while the rest have problem climbing up and down the stairs LOL!) and when I was being asked why by many people, I guess that's simply because...





I do a lot of (window) shopping.



I have to admit that I may not have to stamina to run/jog but I can actually walk a lot! Shopping helps hahahahaha!


However, after this run, I realised that I have to exercise regularly irregardless of whether I'm free or not. At least once a week for 30mins or something because my stamina's really poor :(


I want to attempt another marathon when I'm ready ;)



Throughout the entry, I avoid mentioning names of the event, company, BODs just in case anyone from the holding tries to google some keywords and link them to my blog omg the horror!


If you are curious, here are the only details that I'm only able to reveal in photo.

Our team :)

Please organise more charity event like this in future! It got us closer and made us realise how poor our stamina is.
