Finally, I'm back from Penang! I left to Penang on Thursday early morning, and i have my baby to pick me up at 6.15am to KL Sentral for the first time (as this kind of hour) where I'll be meeting up with my manager there at 7.30am. Before heading to KL Sentral, we have early Dim-Sum breakfast for the first time at Uptown.
This is my first time to travel to Penang on business trip. My manager and i went there by her Chevrolet Optra. It took us 4 hours from KL with a speed at 120-140km per hour. Enroute, we stopped at Tapah to have late & quick breakfast at Dunkin's Donuts. We moved on and we managed to get to our Penang Office at 11.45am. That's really fast!
Another first time for me to visit our Penang office, office is small but well-equipped, sea-view but it's a bit stuffy because the air-cond is not cold enough and not well maintained by the management. Met up our colleagues and we went out for lunch!
We have Thai Food as lunch for the first time. And it taste SUPERB and you will definitely get back to this place for sure! Formerly, the owner of the restaurant was a fisherman and he changed and started with his own business running a Thai Restaurant. Design of the shop is quite authentic, cool and cozy!
We had a very heavy lunch... we ordered Tomyam Soup with prawns, crabs, veggie and fish! And I can tell you that the foods are really really good. Superb! Especially the belacan they have. **fingers licking good**
Thai food...taste superb!
Time flies, it's almost 6 o'clock, we went back hotel for check-in, we stayed at Dorsett Regency, it's less than 10mins drive from my office. After check-in, we had our drink at the lobby lounge before went for dinner at Gurney Drive. We didn't manage to eat some Chinese foods because we had 02 Malay colleagues with us. I didn't eat much for dinner as I haven't digest my lunch yet :-P
our room 1412
room with sea-view
haha.. This is my first time to sleep so early :-P
Next day morning, I got up at 6.30am to prepare myself & to have breakfast with my manager, GM & MD. Thereafter, we had to some projector setting, preparations at the conference room provided before guest arriving at 9.00am.
We'd managed to start our product briefing at 9.30am. Our GM from Singapore Northwest Airlines started to present, followed by me and my manager. Well, this is my very first time to do presentation in this company and right in front of my manager, GM and MD. ***feeling tension and so nervous*** But overall, my manager quite impressed with my presentation as a first timer. And I'm sure that I could do it better next time !
We left Penang Island at around 4.30pm to avoid the traffic, and managed to got back home at 10.00pm, and of course with dinner enroute ;-P Kinda tired!
Well, it seems that I have lots of FIRST TIME here... good to know & good exposure! Keep it up!
