1. Today and yesterday were series of dining experiences. It was 1919 Nyonya restaurant and Tandoor Grill yesterday with the tech team. Today I had lunch at Daikon Hamburg rice and 奈雪 in TRX. Followed by dinner with the team again at Neef restaurant - an Iranian place - in KL- their Nasi Mandi Ayam was quite good. After dinner was band practice. It was the first time I played in a band. I sucked at it, but it was enjoyable 😁 (20th Jan)
2. I turned 47 today. Last year I spent my birthday with colleagues in GroupM. This year, in a different company, I chose to stay at home with my birthday leave. I went for a swim in the morning followed by breakfast at Che Amah Tesco. Had my favourite Lontong. Went for lunch at Snooze with Wei and Shan. We went to Bookexcess after lunch. Bought 2 books using the 50% Birthday Discount. Dinner was with Wei at Sushi Jiro, Setia City Mall. It was a peaceful birthday 🎈 (23rd Jan)
3. I went for my first off-site with Adzymic to Danang, Vietnam. It was great meeting all the people I have only known online. They were a bunch of decent and nice young people from many countries. The beach activities were hilarious. I was nervous about playing with the band, but it was ok. There are some talented people in the company. I was frustrated that I had my period thought-out the trip, but turned out it helped me sleep better each night. My roommate was Maja, she was nice and couldn't care less about other people. It was nice walking through Hoi An old town in the night with the group and in the day on my own. The hot chocolate at Marou was so good that I had it twice. I ordered Grab bike from the old town back to our hotel. It was a fun ride. I even saw farmers sleeping on their buffaloes 🐃 (24th - 28th Jan)
4. KC and I went for our annual CNY shopping at the Eng Ann morning market. We bought the usual CNY deco and boxing chicken bak kwa. We had Fatty Mee Hoon Kueh before going to the market. It's the closest to CNY shopping that we will ever get. The atmosphere at the market was festive and robust despite the slight drizzling 🧨 (31st Jan)
