KK is abit quiet. Everyone balik kampung.
Town is packed with ppl but no cars around.
Why? Coz all PTIs come out to jalan2...
But no worries coz it's still safe. Everyone juz enjoying d holidays.
For me, 1st day of raya, visiting my fellow muslim friend... Eat until my stomach bloated.
Already fat and now become fatter... Lol
2nd day, bring wife n kids to a local resort for some fun.
3rd day, stay at home jam guitar take some photos n write some reviews.
I thinks i gained at least 3-4kg feasting on all the rendang and ketupat...
Terrenceterrence "seriously, i think buying a watch for it's secondhand value is like getting married and thinking about divorce at the back of your mind."

Mechanics,
You so lucky lor.
Last time no stainless stell gate; if got oso cost a bomb.
No choice lor, every 3-4 years paint the gate & fences.

Just got one more HR Open House tomorrow morning. Maybe 2nd half of the day take the kids go see smurf the movie & jalan2.

well yes, for some their festive holidays have ended a couple of days ago..and for some, this weekend. Many would have made their return to city exodus much earlier, and some perhaps over the weekend.
For folks who will start their work this coming Monday, it will be back to the traffic jam condition and restart the rat race once more.

As for me, I am looking forward to restart my plant's operations once more and seeing my colleagues and friends.
Its great to have a break once in awhile and then come back to work all refreshed.

Great ! :D

Celebrated hari raya at hilton, my bro and I totally took over the executive floor  :Dancing_banana:

invited friends and families for high tea and cocktails... the staffs were like  :Scolding: but we didn't care cos the free cheesecakes were oh-so-delicious

with saying that, went to the family patriarch's for first day - open house where about 5,000 people turned up. It was NUTS.

On the 4th day, we took up a coupla of chalets at a family friend's beach resort, and oh yeah it was awesome.


managed to see some of awesome watches over the festive seasons as well.


To landyshah, maaf zahir dan batin. It's all fun and games to me.

So, in the nutshell, the finer things in life does not have to be the most expensive or exotic item or place one could have.

I wanted to, but Airasia wouldn't let me charter a plane to Sarawak just for MWFers over the peak period  ;D

Greet-and-meet is a horrible way to catch up anyway - can hardly have decent chats with guests.

Hehehe, we are ikan bilis mah :laugh:
