KL - 5 Dec

Today was a long day. I attended a training in our store at the Pavilion from 9:30 to 11am. After that I attended a short discussion between the Malaysian colleagues until about 12pm. I was supposed to have another meeting in the office in at 2pm.
.
But since we are in KL, I had long voiced my yearn for Madam Kwan's Nasi Lemak! & YES my wonderful manager granted my wish & we went to have some though we were both not that hungry.. we shared one plate of it. I thought I might have to admit that Nasi Lemak is indeed... my favourite local food!
.
& of course, since our office over there is considered quite inaccessible, we must definitely pack snacks for tea time!!!!! Guess what we bought?
Donuts DONUTS DONUTS!!!!!! We bought extras for our local colleagues of course.. you didn't think I was going to down all, did you??
.
After my meeting in the office, we rang for uncle to pick us, stop over at our apartment for us to unload our heavy bags & lap-tops & send us back to Pavilion for X'mas shopping.. though I had nothing much to buy.. I was indulging in the beautiful white x'mas decorations they mall was so filled with! The whole mall was decorated with long & dangling white & crystal-like decorations. The atrium in the centre of the mall was even covered with the cosy, snowy, sparkling x'mas tree that changes color slowly.. it was indeed spectacular. Pavilion - a humongous stoned-castle standing in the center of Bukit Bintang in KL, during this festive season has completely turned into a white sparkling castle.... internally.

.
We dashed into Ichiban Japanese Restaurant with Hot Soupy Ramen in our minds as the weather was chilly & wet here at KL, like it was in Singapore. I ordered a Duck Meat Ramen. The soup was a yummy-Chinese herb-y taste. I liked it!
.
We started walking back to our apartment which was about 20mins away at about 10pm. When we got to the mini mart opposite the apartment, we decided to get some drinks & snacks. When I made my payment & said my 'thank you!', I noticed the store attendant erasing off my sale transaction. He didn't give me a receipt. I told my colleagues & their reasoning was clear - it was obvious the attendant would take the money & 'walk' since the transaction was not recorded.
.
I sighed with disbelief. Its no wonder the owners usually do not earn enough while their staff leads a strange-but-true much more comfortable life!
.
We went back to the apartment after that.
.
I went to bed at 12am but couldn't sleep well as a meeting was going on in the dining hall between some of the colleagues. I could still hear them pretty loud & clear at about 3am. Not that I couldn't sleep with noises, just that subconsciously I was very much interested in what they were talking about YET my body was too tired to follow through.
