Popular Warehouse Sale @ The Summit, USJ

Music: Olive- L.O.V.E Mood: Trying to relax

I remember my first visit to The Summit, it was in Form Three during a visit organized by the school's Unit Kemahiran Hidup to a Dinasour Exhibition. I could vividly recalled that their lifts wasn't functioning, so we took the escalators floor by floor from the top to lower ground floor. Then I swore that I don't want to set foot here anymore.

But then again... Here I am, TEN years later to check out this Popular Bookstore Warehouse Sale urged by Shannen, who claimed to be 'the most unbelievable warehouse sale' she's ever been.

Guess what? We parked at Level B3 and the lifts were NOT FUNCTIONING. This HAS to be some kind of joke! How could something happened twice after 10 years -_-||| So we clambered up to lower ground floor then use the escalators up to 4th floor. I already started cursing under my breath "This has got to be 'unbelievable' or else...!"


First look at this immediately reminds me of Big Bad Wolf Books Warehouse Sale early this year, only difference is 70% will be Chinese books. Most books are deducted up to 80%!



Recipe books that are normally priced at RM35++ are down to a mere RM7. This is a time you can see aunties jamming their shopping baskets with books instead of groceries.


Failed to find a traveling guide to Bangkok, I rummaged through a lot of China related traveling guides instead.


Fictions have at least 70% discount.


Some at 90%....


Some even at a durian runtuh price of RM1.


ALL Children books have 80% discount, this section is so long I couldn't even see the other end.


The minority English books have 20%~70% deductions.


Three of us bought no less than 30 books at the price of not more than RM130! What are you waiting for? It's up till next week!

Chai Hoon's Farewell

Music: Boyce Avenue- Because Of You Mood: Ready for dinner

We had a farewell dinner for our dear colleague Chai Hoon as she's happily kidnapped by her heartthrob and moving further away from the company, that's why I'm here- filling such big shoes of a seven-year staff!

Meet my all-female peers in HR Department.

The bosses in HR. They have been working here for at least more than 15 years. When boss mentioned one of the Senior Manager (he called her the Dean of Faculty of History ^^) who has been attached to the company since 1984, I can't help but exclaimed, "Golly, I'm just born that year!" My big boss is considered a new kid on the block since he only joined 4 and a half years back. Guess who's my big boss?

There he is! The one buying the bill...

Also the one who made everyone drink bottoms up before dinner...

...and the ones who clowned around the most.

See lah, made people laugh until cry!

This is the final lunch we had on last Friday at a new cafe called Simply Fusion@ Jaya One.

Chai Hoon with the bosses. (The insanely funny GM and made-of-steel HR Mgr)

As a token of appreciation, we presented her with a photo-printed T-Shirt and forced her to frame it in her new house ^^.

It was a short encounter, but this one month is definitely a fruitful one. Thanks so much for being my mentor, I know I've missed out alot of fun but I'm going to miss you alot! May lady luck shine down your future path, let happiness be with you always~!

The Farewell- September 2009

Music: Tony Bennett- Cold, Cold Heart Mood: Gloomy

Dulan customer representative- "Say no to C***i's!"

Famous for not taking reservations, we waited outside for another 3 to arrive. Sam asked the hostess of the day, "Can we go in since 70% of us are already here, the other 3 will reach anytime too?"

The cocky hostess just looked at 7 of us, held up a hi-five hand and said blandly, "wait."

Obviously unsatisfied with her answer, Sam continue, "We've already been waiting for 10 mins, and we have a pregnant lady too, we just need to know whether you are keen to take in all f us?"

Again, she stretched out that no. 5 and frown, "I'm not sure, you need to wait."

We don't want to be bitchy customers, but what kind of customer- first service is this?? Sam is furious now, she then did her 'thang', "Look, you need to let us know early too whether you have a table long enough to fit in 10 of us, if not, just tell us and we'll look for another restaurant right now!"

Rude hostess gave us as-a-matter-of-fact-I'm still- winning-answer,"I'm waiting for them to set up the table, so you still need to wait here."

Sam is already burning, "Did you told us you are setting up your table just now?? Can't you just tell us you are setting up the tables earlier instead of saying WAIT WAIT WAIT??"

Rude hostess doesn't know how to answer but to float again from fight scene.

After awhile, she ushered us to the tables. We stared at the tables and looked at each other: For the love of God, they gave us 2 tables at a corner with very limited space and impossible to fit in 10 pax. Look, we weren't exactly very tiny and there's a preggar too, we can barely move! We called a waiter and asked to shift to a more spacious vacant table right at another corner (I wonder why they didn't let us sit there in the first place). He replied with a dumb answer, "I need to ask the hostess first."

Then came the rude hostess again. She put on an annoyed face and asked, "How may I help you?" We repeated our request and she threw in the same reply, "Wait."

I feel like punching her at this point of time!! It's a weekday, the restaurant is half full, nobody is occupying big tables why not just move us immediately???

She came back after a few mins and say, " Sure no problem, you can change table now." Damnit, the entire waiting process took us more than 30 minutes to settle down in a half empty restaurant!



Of course need to complain lah!

Angry emotions aside, dinner still goes on, lucky to have good friends around to cool down the mood.

They just became the main attraction of the night :P

The other happy "graduate" of the night.



Ah? You taking my photo? Lemme sit properly first...


Yerr....!! That one not nice to eat one...!


Orange juice in 3 different colours- Where is the QC??

Thank God the rest of the food did not hold a grudge against us.

Triple Dipper.

Monterey Chicken I think...

An extremely sweet dessert to end the dinner- Molten Chocolate Cake.

The lot can still scrap the last bit off the plate.
