Weekend at home...

Weekend ni kitaorg melepak di rumah saja.... Sabtu jer kuar kejap jengok rmh alam damai & singgah makan di mcD di BTHO. Malam sabtu dah melencong ke ikea from ofis... So weekend kami tak kemana2 sangat. Byk masa ku membaca magazine dpn kolam, memerhati ikan2 kap liar makan... yg mana muncul masa ada makanan ditabur saja, nyampasss.... Hby & Akid byk mengadap pc main game... like father, like son...

Hari Ahad, ku jadik surirumah sepenuh hari, bermula dari pagi masak nasi lemak, lepas tu melepak baca magzine di kolam, Niz antar akid taekwando. Lunch semua kekenyangan dgn nasi lemak berkalori tinggi tuh... so lunch we all skip... Ptg we all g shopping for groceries at giant w just few metres from our hse. Balik aku masak bubur jagung for tea. Niat asal nak buat puding roti dibatalkan sbb agak malas nak memantau pembakaran dlm oven yg jrg2 aku guna... maybe next wkd. Then malam aku masak lg tuk dinner, simple2 jer tapi nampaknya sorang2 makan bertambah2, mungkinkah tengahari tak jumpa nasi...

Jumpa kenit di Ktn...

Lovely beach...

Ni nak suh Nik Mad duk diam2 kena snap gambar, terus posing control macho...

Nik Mad ni suka betul posing...

We all baru jer balik makan dekat Tanjung Lumpur di Santai, me & hubby together with Nik Mad & Mama dia... Mengah jek, mkn cam tuk 6 org, tp yg makannya 3 org jek...

Me & hubby kebetulan plak kena outstn on the same date. On Sunday kitaorg travelled ke Hyatt Ktn together2 cam nak gi honeymoon la plak. Kesian akid kena tinggal ngan mama & abah serentak... Ada exam lak tu sepanjang kitaorg takder ni... Nasib baik esok dah nak balik.

Besok 1/2 day course, sempat la mama gi spa... Teringat spa kt awana kijal, mmg best tp kat Hyatt ni ada massage jer... kena tanya mama nik mad kat mana dia selalu pergi... Nak buat pkg body scrub, bleaching, mandi susu, massage & facial skali... hmmm....

Awana Kijal

The Last level 3 training was held on last Sun as to avoid the clash with the CNY holiday, yesterday. Despite of timing, it was quite fun going for the training with the same group member from the 1st session til that last 3rd session as we've already known each other. Fooh lega dah habis level 3 training. As to spend the rest of 4 days there, Lida & I rent the bike, going to gym & just lepaking at the beach while the guys were having fun with the beach ball. I always like Awana Kijal for it's spa & panaromic view even we've been there for so many times before...

Sempat lagi bergambar before balik...

Sayonara...

Can't wait to go home... boring tul outstn lama2, away from the family. Unfortunately sampai KL esok malam, next morning travel balik ke Kerteh... penat weh... nasib baik lepas tu cuti tahun baru cina...

Smlm sempat ke takashimaya selepas habis kerja, well kali terakhir sebelum balik KL psl mlm ni ada dinner. Kalau tak mau panjang langkah lagi... Kalau ikutkan byk yg menarik utk dibeli tapi mahal ya ampun... After takashimaya closed at 8pm, we moved to Isetan queen which closed later at 9pm. Lepas tu baru la sibuk cari kedai makan tempat kitaorg mkn smlm since dah tau sedap & depa masak seafood... Pusing2 tersesat la plak, besar sangat Yokohama station ni... Rasa mcm nak patah kaki menapak... by the time sampai kedai tu, dorang dah letak sign 'order closed'. Even the restaurant normally close at 11pm but by 10pm dah tak bole order... Shopping punya pasal... Malas nak cari tempat lain, we decided to eat at the hotel restaurant jek... slightly expensive but claimable. We ordered grilled salmon set & the food was good. Nasib baik still ambil order...

Today is the last day... This evening, chiyoda arranged farewell dinner at a well known traditional japanese restaurant. Layan jer lah...

Nak mengemas baju la plak... as early as 6.30am dah kena check out. Domo...

Ni gambar first day sampai...ahad mlm sempat tengok AJL life lagi, hehehe...

Dinner with Chiyoda & Lion. Dlm gambar, PM from client side, me & Norul, yg lain tu Japenese. Our PM dok ujung tak nampak. Nasib baik dok jauh dari pm, sebok discuss business, penat la wei... Yg duduk meja sebelah kitaorg siap buat lawak bodoh lagi...

Pakcik ni tgh asah wasabi dari sejenis tumbuhan, mcm lobak hijau gitu...

Antara ikan2 mentah yg dihidang (shashimi, entah la eja camner)


Sempat lagi amik gambar sebelum makan walaupun kebulur....

Ni la dia godaan kat sini...

Antara barang yg dibeli di Takasyimaya... I'm impressed with the salegirls here, layanan tip top. Dorang mmg cekap, bungkus barang kemas & cepat, bukan bercinta kena tunggu... Ada antara barang yg dibeli masa kedai dah announce nak tutup (dah 8pm), dorang still layan, tunjukkan barang2 yg kita nak tengok walau kena cari unlock/ lock drawer... Bila dah beli, dorang wrap kemas2 tp sepantas kilat... Lepas tu tolong bawa brg to lift, selagi pintu lift tak bukak, selagi tu dorang pegang barang kita tunggu sesama. Then bila kita masuk lift dorang siap bow ucap arigato... Kalau kat KL mesti kena jeling, kedai dah tutup la :P

Jalan-jalan cari makan

Tempting seafood plater

Satoi san, very the shy gitu...

Ala2 ikut gaya Satoi, peace...

Jumpa kedai makan yg sedap.

Jenuh explain kat waitress that we don't want any kind of meat and alcohol for our meal.

Tarra... our dinner.

Yesterday's agenda was to review partners documents & Yoshihara san seems to deviate our focus a bit by offering to bring us shopping and sight seeing right after lunch. PM was in another meeting in Tokyo & that explained why. He sent his lady officer, Satoi san to our room at 2pm to bring us around. I politely set a later time at 4pm. 2pm was too early kang tak siap kerja plak... At quarter past four, off we went to Sogo. The Sogo dept store is actually bigger (10 levels) and more exclusive than Sogo in KL. Afterthat we had dinner at the Yokohama Bay Quater where we opted for seafood. The food was good and so were the price... anyway it was on chiyoda.

As for today, the weather is nice with wonderful bright sunshine and not as cold as last few days. For lunch, we had sushi & tempura. Chiyoda brought us to the Japanese restaurant near Tsurumi station which is just a few minutes walk from the office.

This evening, we had to search for the dinner ourselves... We were talking to FW guys about food before. There are 3 of them which I only know Darren whereas Norul know them all as she had OJ training in their dept. Darren & I were involved in a basic design project way back in 2004 in Reading. What a small world, meet each other again here in Yokohama and their room is just next to ours. Well Darren is actually moving one step forward in his career as he's currently hold a Chief position in his dept. He'll be stuck in Yokohama with another colleague till Mar, wow... not for me. He was complaining about the cold weather too which according to him even here is colder than London...

Besides of discussion of general stuffs about Yokohama, we were informed by FW of a cheaper way to upgrade our software system. For that we can engage this American guy instead of buying another one. My dept is currently sharing one software in KL & I think that'll be a really good option. As informed, it's not just cheaper but what good about it that it can be customised to our needs, either import & export via excell and in overall it'll be more user friendly.

So our jalan2 cari makan this evening was actually within the Yokohama station right after visiting takashimaya. It was closed at 8pm & 1 hr window shopping was not enuf... hehehee... Well, we planned to go there again sometimes before leaving on Sat.
