new york! new york!

last friday i took a leave from work to get some errands done, one of it, the most important one, is to check out matta fair at pwtc. our mission - to buy our tickets to New York.

we arrived at pwtc around 10am, and already there's a HUGE crowd. word of advice, dont ever ever valet park at seri pacific hotel, we were ripped off there as the rates are rm15 for the first hour, then rm5 for next hours onward! who have heard of valet parking who charges by the hour, right? even the most expensive hotels in KL charges one rate and that's it, so our lessons learnt the hard way, they were just ripping off those peeps going to matta fair, probably the only way they get business otherwise, greedy people.

anyway, back to the matta fair. for those travelling to europe, all parts of asia and australia, then the fair is definetely for you. the offers are abundance and amazing! we were going from one ticketing agent to another to find good rates for nyc and it was expensive! to the point we were half thinking of going to europe, AGAIN! not that would be much of an issue but we really want to try other parts of the world too, so we still persists on, until we found one that gives the BEST rate in the entire fair! finally!

so ehem2..announcement - IM GOING TO NEW YORK!! yippeee!! wuhooo!

i also managed to secure the tickets for my christmas in london hehehe :p but this one sure all of you would have expected it already so no need to announce right? :p

so what else i did over the weekend, lets see;

friday
went to klcc, printed out my latest epf statement at rhb - been meaning to get it for ages and stop by for a drink at dome with the babes.
then we all went to pavillion to catch Alice in Wonderland which is GREAT! a must watch in 3D! i love love Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter and even Anne Hathaway was super cute in the movie so it makes a really fun watch :)
managed to catch up on my shopping too, i finally bought a new pair of sunglasses, having lost the old for ages and finally bought the ipanema sandals that ive been eyeing.
we then decided to spend the night at crown plaza hotel! but before that, another round of karaoke! for sure when we get together that is a must do hehe.

saturday
had a lovely breakfast at crown plaza courtesy of missy suvani - the food was lovely but the service was horrible. what i dont get is malaysian hotel staff/waiters who falls all over foreigners in their effort to serve them but to a malaysian guest, they turned "kampung" and treat us so rudely! like for example right, when a foreigner asks for a glass of water, they would answer "yes sir, will send to your table right away" while looking at the foreigner with a smile, but when i ask for a glass of water (and i was sitting outside) he just rudely answered and not even looking at me and said "ya, ya nanti kami hantar, ada orang kat luar tu, tunggu la sekejap!" and actually raised his voice a little to me!!!!!!! and you know wat, the water never came! upon checking out, the hotel staff asked my friend (who is quite regular there) how was her stay, and she let them have it!! they were so shocked and apologise profusely to my friend. anyway, we got the breakfast for free, but still its not we wanted, the lovely experience was already spoiled and we doubt if we would stay there again.
saturday was also a productive day, got quotations at true fitness and toyota and had yummilicious lunch at nirwana banana leaf :)

sunday
spend the morning in the office - finishing up some stuff. then met up with my brother for lunch as he wanted to introduce me to his new gf. im not sure if he's serious with her, as he just broke up with his gf of 4 years and barely few months later he's going out with this girl? if its just a rebound thing, that i hope he told her straight. she's nice and allrite i suppose. nothing extraordinary to shout about. unlike his ex whom we all loved..sigh.
after that i got really bored and i felt like going shopping but i cant since im dead broke (read: tickets to new york and london :p) and realised i got some parkson grand vouchers that ive had for ages and never used! i also decided to redeem my bonus link and got some more vouchers! and parkson is on sale! from using the vouchers only and only spending rm1.50 for my parking ticket, i managed to buy two pairs of shoes, one for work and one for fun (of course of course :p) bought a gorgeous dark brown liz claiborne purse, carolina herrera chic perfume and a top at dorothy perkins! yes, i have that MUCH vouchers. the thing is, when i bought the shoes and wallet, i got more vouchers as per their promotion, then i bought the perfume and i got even more vouchers which then is enough to buy the top! i love getting vouchers as gifts! (^_^)

so that's my long perfectly lovely productive weekend! the only thing i didnt get to do is my facials as they are fully booked and the voucher expires next week, yikes! (yes, even more vouchers! hehe) and now im off to wash the cars, all three of them, may can squeeze in a hair wash and a mani pedi too :p

next week, another 4 days of work and im off to hard rock hotel penang for some fun! (^_^)
