23 September SUNDAY!
.
CONFESSION. I reported sick & could not go to work. I had the privilege to stay in the apartment to rest. With wonderful & caring colleagues, I was sure I would not die! haha. As i was resting half of me was worried about the rest of them slogging out in the stores with daily operations & night-jobs. You can't help but to hope you can be there to lend your support as well. As the heart is willing, the body simply was NOT!
.
My wonderful colleague went out to get tuna for us for lunch. She did not have to be in the store as she was in IT dept & she was rushing her share of work from her notebook in the apartment. I remembered my phone rang a couple of times throughout the day BUT i simply could not remember if i had picked them up. She was worried I wouldn't have the appetite to eat & went out to get me chicken porridge for dinner.
SO SWEET OF HER. Thank you SARAH!
.
The rest of the colleagues were also caring & nice. They would call me up & asked how I was doing & if I needed to see a doctor etc.. Being away from home & loved ones, gestures like these carry you a long way ahead & simply make your day. Thank you MADDY!
.
I surrendered after 3 weeks without rest.
.
22 September SATURDAY!
.
I was not feeling well. I could not report to work on time. I took a few more hours of rest & only went to the store about 1pm. 
I stopped by at Starbucks at KL Plaza for my daily dose.

Met the rest for lunch at the cafe by the atrium in Pavilion where all actions were - like fashion shows!.
I had nice Hot & Sour Sze Chuan Soup & a Chicken Mayo Sandwich. Though the food was ordinary I felt the settings were pretty decent & nice.
.
For Dinner, we had a humble "SZE CHAR" in between Imbi & Bukit Bintang. Everything was already tasteless to me at that point.
.
I ordered Sliced Fish Hor Fun with Liang Teh.

20 September to 21 September
.
20th... Today is THE DAY!
.
PAVILION & our store was to officially open. We all rose early to meet on site at 8am for final checks & briefing. As all staff are new in this new store, there were alot to follow up. We all did our individual part.
.
With all the guiding, rushing, tidying done, it was time for lunch! The Singapore Team was worried & therefore we went to lunch at our very own Cafe within the store.
Our Tuna Melt Sandwich was YUMMY & a must-try. Soft toasted white bread with tuna & lots of mozarella cheese melting on top.. hmmm...
.
The LATTE they served deserves compliments. I am never a white coffee person. But their LATTE is really aromatic & nice. MUST TRY! the hot Latte I meant!
.
The Singapore Team went out for a short discussion at Haagen Daaz at about 4pm. Hmm.. Ice Cream.. food for the mind! I ordered a single scoop Berries ice Cream with Chocolate & Almond toppings! SINFULLY YUMMY!!!!
.
It was my turn to stay in the store for night job today. Watching everyone leaving at 10:30pm while you have to stay behind no matter how tired you are was really tormenting. BUT & HOWEVER, we have to pull through it!
.
Out pathetic tummy started 'growling' at about 1am (21 September).... we tried our luck & made a few phone calls as we could not leave the store while there were contractors at work. Lucky US! One colleague came down with these for us!
.
The picture which You could see a packet of newspaper-wrapped stuff was my supper for staying for the night job. It was yummy Beef-Hor Fun with Liang Teh (herbal tea). OOOoo, by the way, drinking herbal tea has become a must for everyone here. We tried to stay as healthy as possible but having herbal tea from anywhere & everywhere everyday!
I dozed off intermittently in between. The contractors didn't finish until 7:30am on 21 September By the time they were done, I was half dead - NO KIDDING!
.
We figured. Since it was already 8am, might as well we wait for the other team to come in at 9am to brief them.. so my colleague & I dragged our tired little bodies to MacDonald's to grab a coffee & big breakfast at 8am & sat there until 9:30am when the staff started to march in for store opening.
.
We stayed on in the store until 1pm (21 Sept).. then we had to be pushed out of the store by fellow colleagues whom were urging us to go back & rest. We reached our apartment at 2pm & slept until 5pm & went back to work. (refer to the post - past few gruelling days)
.
After we caught up with 2 hours of sleep we were back in the store at about 5pm. Our nice GM bought us dinner at about 7-ish.
We had nice Dim Sun dinner at Star Hill tonight knowing we were all tired & drained out & also because there was no night-job tonight. Like I mentioned in other posts, Star hill houses wonderful interior decorations, as for the food I would say they were ordinary. We ate heartily at the sight of any food & went back to rest at about 11pm... earliest!
