Chatty Lass

Monday (Oct 20th, 2014)

AM: Mental exercise for breakfast - Follow-up meeting to check on everyone's progress for *this* project.


Noon: Savory surprise from the sweetest boss.

Tinki Talks and Baby JJ.

JZ having some pomelo after dinner.

Rocking Baby JJ to sleep after his feed.

3 weeks ago, before my boss left for a business trip to Germany, we were getting a couple of work things sorted out in our WhatsApp group chat when this *points below* came up:

Monday (Oct 13th, 2014)

AM: Breakfast bowl - Greek yoghurt with cubed honey mangoes, blueberries, muesli and almonds.

Baby JJ's spindly legs. So cute.

Tender moment - Tinki Talks and her boys.

Nasi briyani (Gave my colleague half of my portion), ayam masak merah & kari ayam.

Due to an unexpected turn of events earlier this week, the workload for this project has tripled (it was already a handful to begin with) and a plan had to be drawn up and put into motion, stat.

Which is why I was on the road again today, my team in tow, under the scorching sun for more than 8 hours. My skin feels parched and I think it is slightly seared... the price that I pay for work (and for skipping the application of sunscreen).

Here are more pics of Penang, an orient with a kaleidoscope of history, religion and race...

• Friday Funday - Field Trip Across Penang For Work

Saturday (Oct 11th, 2014)

AM: A speckle of spoiling, courtesy of Chanel. Read more about it *here*.


Noon: Dashed from where I was, endured the crazy Saturday afternoon traffic and reached Mi-Chelle's to help out with the project which we are working on. I'll share a little more about it real soon, but for now... a sneak peek...

Received an invitation for this party several weeks back and in spite of my busy schedule, it was impossible to pass on this offer so I gleefully agreed to attend it.

After this week's full-on psycho work handling, I'm pretty over the moon about this morning's speckle of spoiling.

The event was from 10:30am till 12:30pm at Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa, Penang.

Roderick, the wine sommelier.

Pinot Noir for breakfast. I could get used to this.

Monday (Oct 6th, 2014)

AM - PM: One-nighter in KL for Israel Houghton's worship concert. More about the stunning night *here*.



Tuesday (Oct 7th, 2014)

AM: Day off from work, which is really code for working on-the-go and working from home.

I was awake by 7am, we set out from KL at 7:45am and at precisely 8am, I was on a teleconference with my team back in Penang.


Noon: Managed to sneak in a little shut-eye on the way back, which was God-sent really, because my hope for an afternoon nap on my off day got stomped all over by Work. He's a fierce and jealous lover, this one.


PM: I've become so glued and dependent on my devices because of Work (the madness is unending) that Aurelia Bea and Aelwen have morphed from being tools of entertainment to becoming my lifeline to Work.

When it's late and I'm all alone with my thoughts in a dark room, I often wonder about the evolution of technology and of its (favorable or adverse, your pick) effect to society...  



Wednesday (Oct 8th, 2014)

AM: Gave breakfast a miss and dived headfirst into the pool of Work that was waiting for me.


Noon: Lunch plate - English breakfast muffins with scrambled eggs and sausages.




Noon: Lunch plate - Baked sweet and spicy salmon on a bed of wilted spinach and tomato rice.





Friday (Oct 10th, 2014)

AM: Awfully hazy morning for a field trip, but we needed to recce several locations in Penang for an upcoming photo shoot. So, off we went...

There are quite a number of pictures on that link, but this is my favourite of the lot:





PM: Dinner plate - Baked salmon and stir-fried potatoes with Shimeiji mushrooms.
