I recall saying this one; hence am gonna say it out loud again...
I don't treat you like a friend anymore - you're nothing but like a piece of s * % t to me now ! ! !
Sh*thead: Congrats u ols for getting the group!!!
Me: What group?
Sh*thead: The group going to
Me: What tender? What group? What
Sh*thead: Owh come on - please don't be modest or secretive like this...
Me: I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about?
Sh*thead: Your agency? Got the Group A to
Me: Exactly my point - MY AGENCY!? I thought your agency got through. I pulled out from submitting the quotation 2 weeks before the tender closed...
Sh*thead: Well, if it's not YOUR agency, and certainly not MY agency, then which agency got the group A to
And boom, 3 weeks later...
Me: Where's XXXXXXXXXX ek?
A friend: He went to
Me: Ah I see... vacation eh?
A friend: No, with that group A...
Me: Group A? The one he kept on saying that would be going to
Me: So, are you going to submit your quotations for the
Another Sh*thead: Nah, don't think so. The costing alone is like way too high - don't think I'll ever manage to bring the costing down to meet the group's budgetary requirements... are you?
Me: Well probably I suppose. And I have to admit, it's costly but hey, just trying out, no harm in trying.
Another Sh*thead: Good spirit!
N U R L E A @ Home: *As i woke up this morning, found out I ols telah ditikam² dari belakang... tak cukup dengan itu, I ols dia cincang² lumat² sampai habis, oleh someone i ols thought, a friend in b u s i n e s s . Adeih.... h a r a p k a n p a g a r , p a g a r m a k a n p a d i . . .
LKY: In the business world these days I'd have to say that I've come to realize the fact that there are actually no friends around you, only E N E M I E S you have yet to meet up . . . and when you finally do meet 'em up, you better be prepared . . .

Ade sape² tak in Malaysia yang pernah tgk ke citer nih dulu², somewhere mid '80s, I think t'was somewhere in '86 or '87 kot. Ade tak? I can't actually recall which TV stationed aired it (TV 2 kot?) but I recall watching it, siap record lagi! (Time tu video recording habis hebats la kan! Hiks!) And yes, I was still small yer at that time, tapi, citer dia, mek still boleh ingat sampai ke sekarang ok. (Well, bukan lah mek ingat sampai 100% pong. Pon begitiew, walaupun dinch ingat 100%, mek rase, mek ingat pasal citer nih, hmmm, maybe just dalam 50% to 60% kot. But I guess that's good enough la kan, at least mek still MAMPU yer nak buat review nih! Hiks!) These are those few types of movies yang sesuai dengan jolokkan/ digambarkan like - 'The movie that touches your heart and soul, and you'll remember it for a lifetime!'. Ok, so lets not waste anymore time. Mek dah excited nak buat review movie nih my own words... hiks!
M O V I E R E V I E W
Title: I C E C A S T L E S - staring Lynn-Holly Johnson as Alexis Winston, Robby Benson as Nick Peterson
As I could recall, the movie started off with Alexis skating freely, focusing on her grace and talent in the world of figure skating. She then competed in the mid sectionals, with a lot of support and help from her Dad, her Mom (part nih mek ragu was² sket. Rasanya, the lady yang jadi mak kepada Alexis tu, mak TIRI kot, ala ala the real mother passed away, and then the dad kawen lain to this mak tiri yang SANGAT baik! - maaf kalau silap fakta. Either she's a mak tiri or hm, scandal bapaknye? But pa per pon, this lady is sangatlah baik.) and also her love, Nick. Waktu kat mid sectionals competition, she was the only girl competing yang tak berdressing glamour bagai - yes, if you don't mind me saying, without a doubt, yang dipakai skating dress nyer itiew, paling simple paling azab among the rest! (Well, in my opinion, tak der lah hazab mane pon, but from the movie, with the other contestants were all watching, laughing, ngumpat cikpat bagai kat dia, the movie berjaya menggambarkan Alexis was a real amatuer yang ala² berdressing sangkak!). Bila she skated into/ onto the arena, ala ala no one paid attention to her as she was practically a nobody. This somehow reminded me so much of I C E P R I N C E S S, the Disney ice- skating movie itiew. Hiks! Anyways, as she started to dance in her skates, following the music, gracefully glided on the ice like a swan, she immediately caught the crowd's attention, AND, she also grabbed the attention of a very famous ice- skating coach, former ice- skater athlete herself kalau tak silap mek. AGAIN, now as mek buat review nih, I can't help to see the similarity between this movie, I C E C A S T L E and also I C E P R I N C E S S. But then again, it could just be coincidence la kan.

Me tried searching for more pixies tapi nan ado sangat. So here's a screen- shot from youtube.com video; Alexis Winston, played by Lynn- Holly Johnson/ Given, skating, in the movie...
I think she didn't win the sectionals - but she won the heart of the audience and soon the movie tunjuk how this coach approached Alexis, pergi rumah dia or something, and offered her trainings and making her a champ or something like that lah kan. The bf, si Nick, ala² suka tak suka kot sebab he's a ice hockey player jugak ke ape citer tah la. The Dad pulak, I think ade something to do with the late wife being dead, from ice skating jugak ke cemana tah, memula tak approve of Alexis leaving town and heading to the big city to make it big; takut jadik cam his late wife, Alexis late mother. Tapi I think last² dia approve jugak kot. The mak tiri, part nih mek tak ingat sangat lagi apa peranan dia, except for the fact that mek tahu dia yang siapkan dress biru Alexis pakai waktu sectionals (yang mek cakap ala ala simple giler babs dan azabs as compared to the other skaters dresses).
And so Alexis moved on to the city, dilatih dengan jurulatih pro, and meeting this guy from tv station yang ala ala tastekan si Alexis, bla bla bla here and there, Alexis started heading to the stardom, getting everyone's attention, taking the world by storm, and waktu nih la ala ala macam dia sudah start jadi famous (due to her being trained by a very well known professional coach, dan ditambah pulak dengan scandal dengan TV person - bertambah hebats la dikau, KAN!? Hahaha!) and seperti biasa, bila dah famous, ala ala ingat² lupa to remember to keep her feet on the ground. Ade la banyak jugak scenes dia bertanding, menang itu ini bagai. And highlight part middle of this strory kan, she was finally in the Olympics, couldn't recall what year. Did a terrific performance, and after habis, she kuar skating rink, terus pelok coach, and terus pi kiss scadalnya the TV guy itiew, dan tetiber, JENGJEJENGGG!!! Nick, the kekaseh dari kampong ado disitiew... So mula la drama sket, and then tak sempat nak nangis mintak maaf ke ape ke, nama dah dipanggel ke centre of the ice rink utk receive her GOLD medal katanya. But I recalled the camera tunjuk ke arah centre stage, she was atas podium dah, orang yang bagi medal tu dok sebok nak kalongkan the Gold Medal, but she stood there, busy looking ke arah Nick, yang dah bagaikan hilang punca, mengamok bagai, terus belah dari sitiew, and tatau la she accepted the medal ke tidak. I assume she did la kot kan...

Robby Benson, as Nick Peterson - playing the love of Alexis's life katanya
Inih bukan review dah nih - nih like telling the story dah nih! LOL! Ok ok, will try and make it shorter nah. Hiks! Anyways, after that night at the games where she won the medal tu, there was this huge celebration organized by the TV guy bf and the famous coach la kan. But as usual, Alexis dah moody, couldn't be bothered about the party, and soon left the room and kuar outside where she skated freely on her own trying to relax her mind. From the party, everyone started noticing she's gliding on the ice, dancing freely, and to the point she decided to make a jump; and when she did, she landed, but her skates terkena macam bucu kerusi besi tepi rink tu apa tah la, and her head terhantuk bagai nak gile kat besi/ krusi itiew, and tudiah! THAT'S IT! Freek accident Wikipedia said - I'd say, it was a disasterous bad landing after her jump! LOL!
She then lost her sights (I wouldn't call it lost her sights but her vision jadi blurry and ala ala rabun yang dasyat, tapi tak la BUTA sampai gelap gulita dunia dia!), decided to bawak diri balik ke kampungnyer, where she isolated herself from public yang still curios what happened to her, and what not. And for a few moments there, mek ingat, ada insiden gaduh dengan Nick lite², then gaduh dengan the ibu tiri sampai she said something like "You're not my mother" or something. Mek tak ingat, tapi mek rasa sebab tu mek speku tu ibu tirinya, and the last part of the movie ade dia sebut "Here's to/ for my mom" or something. We'll get to that part later shortly. So sambung, erm, ah yes, the family, consisting her Dad, Mom and Nick, all worked together to bring back Alexis spirit and joy into the world and the world of ice skating. Sounds impossible? Read whats on the movie poster - "Together they reached for the impossible" nih! Yes, "Together" yang disampaikan tu, kalau tgk dengan gambar tu, nampak its Alexis and Nick la kan - but its actually with a lot of help from her parents tu. That's why the movie is labeled as inspiring and very drama; but, skating, dalam keadaan buta/ rabun? Seriously? Hehehe... anyways, so all of them worked together to make Alexis come back to life, asik lah dia duduk dalam her room, her big dark room, crying itu ini bagai - feeling buta, walhal, vision jadik blur jer. Anyways, days turned to weeks turned to months, tau tau, Alexis competed again, dalam competition yang ala ala sama macam her 1st competition ever dulu, in the same arena/ rink, wearing the same baju biru the mak tiri buatkan itiew - yang membezakan dulu dan now, dulu dia celik, and a nobody. Now, dia ala ala lite2 buta blur, and orang dosi kenal siapakah Alexis Winston - Gold Medalist apa tah, Olympic ke ape tah, yang after victory, silensiokan diri dari public after a fall. TAPI no one, except for few maybe, yang tahu dia blur/ buta. Like during the time dia perform balik kat Arena/ rink tu, hanya like the ex coach, ex TV star bf tu, and her Dad, Mom and Nick je yang tau dia cikbuts (cik buta)! Kesian... kesian... Tsk tsk tsk...
Errr... why kesian??? Apa kesudahannye yer? :)

Well, motifnya, dan kesudahannye, why don't you view for yourself... ;)
Over all I'd have to say, seingat² mek to this movie, mek sker! Sangat sker sampai mek ingat lagi dulu² mek used to watch this movie like every single weekend sampai mek dah naik bohsan and ubah haluan jadikan my Barbie Doll jadik ice skater, bole? LOL! A must watch drama, a movie that should be cherished forever... :)

Asal- kejadian entry inieh, adalah hasil inspirasi dan sumbangan idea suci oleh 5thE katanya, yang dalam masa dua minggu nih, actually, seminggu nih, dah sumbangkan 2 lagi idea yang menarik dan mek telah praktikkan one of it. Dia started buat satu perkataan apa tah dalam tagboard mek tu (mek kasik contoh jer la ek, say, Admin). Ok, dia bok mai idea cemana tah terkeluar sebagai A D M I N. Notice the space² thingy!? Terus mek tukar nama² profile mek kat Myspace lah, Friendster lah, cam, cantek, kan, ado space² tu? Then lepas tu, second idea tadi - tercetus bab kes CAWAN. But lets not get into detail. Nanti spoil the mood pulak kalau mek citerkan about it now, here, right now, right here, kan? Hiks!
Back to this T A G G E D ! ! ! entry business thingy. Ok. Here's the deal... *Lets ignore the 1st two paragraphs of this entry! Concentrate on this one as the beginning of this wonderful entry! Hiks!
Yes - me starting a "You've been T A G G E D ! ! !" entry; yeap - me topic starter, the beginner, the erm, hmmm - well, the truth is, it was 5 t h E 's idea actually, but I sort of like rephrased it here and there and all... and so... here we have it...
PS: Please make sure you notify the 5 people that you've tagged, and for those that have been tagged, once you've done with your tagged entry, be sure to let the person who tagged you know that you've completed the tagged entry and that you also inform the new person on the list that you yourself tagged. Complicated? It's ok. I LOIKE!!!
Owh and in case you are wondering about what, where, how, when, who, and all about Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel, why don't log on to this website; http://www.ciragan-palace.com. Prolly that way, after seeing the hotel, you get the feel of doing the entry, provided you've been tagged that is. And what's with the luxuriously furnished Grand Sultan Suite? Owh please, I bet it's just like any other suite. Its just another typical extra- large/ spaced deluxe bedroom, refurnished to be called a suite, and named it as GRAND SULTAN Suite. Now, tell me... How grand, how sultanate- ish, can this Grand Sultan Suite at Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel be lar? Hiks! Why don't I let you decide... http://www.ciraganpalacesuites.com
So since I'm the first to put up this entry, I guess, it's only fair I name 5 people whom I have chosen to come along with me, as requested in the T A G G E D title. Hurm... well, it doesn't state it HAS to be someone with a blog, right? It just state that IF the person that I tagged does not have a blog, then, it'll end just there. We don't get to know who the person tagged next, right? Well, he or she who don't have a blog, can still be tagged, and then make that entry in their email and email 'em to moi and me post 'em on your behalf, can right? :)
Anyways, who would those 5 lucky people be? The 1st 6 to spend a week at Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel, Istanbul Turkey - and somemore, spend at the most expensive suite available; The Grand Sultan Suite. Hmmmm... Ok. I've narrowed down the following people:
- V O L K S - Why I chose Volks even though he doesn't have a blog? Says who he doesn't have a blog. He got one, right Volksie; just with the name/ headline/ title - al reserved in other words. Hiks! Anyways, why did I choose Volksie? Now, tell me, how can I ever live without him? My soul mate, my best of friend, my bro, my shoulder to cry on, my this and that - he's my all, my everything. Of course I'd pick him to tag along, even though he might not have a blog. Although at times we fight, hey, even there are/ were times the sun was upset with the cloud and the rain, and vice versa, right? Hiks! And besides, I know me and him, we'll enjoy every bit of the moment as both of us are adventurous, we often be curious and try out, see new things and certainly, exploring Ciragan Palace Kempinski hotel is one of them... :)
- 5 t h E - Leave YOU behind after all this was actually your idea?! Muahahaha. Besides, I can always do snappy² here and there with you, right? And yes, YOU DO have a blog. The T A G G E D world/ business/ entry/ lifestyle lives on! Hoyehhh!!! Owh and darling, I wouldn't want to be there without you, miss hearing you giggle and laugh like nobody's business! And who knows, with you there with me, we get the chance to A N I M A L I Z E a.k.a. A N I M A L I S M E ourselves till wee hours in the morning and ended up finding a brand new "FRIENDLY GUY" for you... ;)
- I S I S N A T A S H A - The Goddess of Beauty, Goddess of Nature, Goddess of MEREPEKNESS! How can I not include you slut! You have to come! You MUST! It'll be great to have you along and start talking non-stop nonsense. Of course, at certain time, I'd go about the hotel saying "Who's this Mad Hatter who can't stop talking? I'm sorry. I don't know her... so pretty! I don't like her. So simply woman with lite² make up - I hate her. Voice so woman - I'd kill her!" and off me went for some hi- tea. Hiks! Silly, of course I want you to come along. It'll be fun! It'll be exciting. Then, of course, there will be times when you will suddenly change/ turn yourself to become like your Mentor, Ginger de la Loca. THAT will be the time I'll be cursing myself for bringing you along! LOL!
- H U S Z a.k.a. P E R V - Now how can I not bring this wonderful slut cum lesbian- partner, happy go lucky, cheerful blogger friend of mine along! Of course you must come, and I bet when you're there, you'll be all like "I squad, I grab and I swallow" right Huszie!? Hiks! You're the ultimate slut, even Isis puts her hands and wigs all on the floor, sujuds for you and your credibility to go out and say what you want, get want you like, and - eh wait, it's say what you like, and get what you want. Hehehe. Owh btw, when you get one, make room for me too! Me want to "Squad, Grab, Swallow" also! OOPPSS! - and now, I suppose, everyone's wondering, who will be the final friend/ blogger/ person to be getting the chance of a lifetime to tag along to this "lets make believe" escape to paradise!
- G I N G E R d e l a L O C A - Ahhhh yes, I know. I know. She's a dear good best friend who so happens to have a blog but looks pretty dead! OPS! She's indeed one of my best friend, she has a blog, and she has that vicious mouth with words that I swear to God, could kill me in sea of tears! OPPPSSS! And speaking of blog, lets just assume she does not have one. The last T A G G E D entry I tagged her, well - you've guessed it right. What makes you think that she'll respond to this tag entry? Hahahaha. But it's just nice to mention her in the top 5 list. At times I hate her for her cheerful disposition; at times I just love her for being older than me. Certain times I couldn't take it when she bad- mouthed me a.k.a bitched about me, right on my face. But right now, everyday, I'm learning to understand how this woman operates. Don't push certain buttons, that's for sure. And what better way to learn more about my best friend, than to bring her along with the rest of the members of the lucky groupie. And with her around, it'll be fun walking down the grand staircases of the hotel/ palace. It'll be like one of those Evening Dress round/ competition in the usual beauty pageants, right gal!? Hiks!
Although I must say, even though I have already fulfilled the required criteria - list 5 names; but I guess, I have a few more names (don't suppose you call 15 names, 'A FEW', right? LOL!), honorary names if I'm allowed to say so, worth tagging them along... :)
- K A K R E D M U M M Y - Kak Red, please excuse Mr. EK from your T A G G E D entry ya. LOL!
- [ Y ] D A R K L I G H T E R - At times Y, you don't realize it, you have a very witty way of putting things into words/ lines/ stories/ blog entries... :) And that's why you've been T A G G E D ! ! !
- E V A A L T A N T U Y A - The ever so lovely Eva, of Glitters Group... Gal, I KNOW you can do this T A G G E D entry thingy in your Myspace blog!
- L E E Z - And you thought you'd be left out!? Well hello darling, P I O N E E R in the world of blogging among 'hadek²s' right? Well darling, time to shine! :)
- B A B E P A R I S - Gal, I KNOW you've left Xenga, but I KNOW you still on it at Myspace blog! DIG it gal! Hiks!
- L E E U K - The entrepreneur who came up with the ever so delicious, ever so successful pineapple juice in the UK, and owner of God knows how many masquerade party masks. I wonder, should you T A G along with me and the rest to this dreamy vacation, will you take off the mask and reveal the true beauty that you've been keeping away from us all these while? Hiks!

Mar 6 2007, 12:31 AM
Earlier on I said, my flight was delayed ex DXB, right? Well - it was like 2 hours delayed and actually, my flying scheduled was somewhat something like this:
26 FEB EK432 DXB SIN 0845/ 1940
26 FEB MH610 SIN KUL 2120/ 2220
But since my flight was delayed for 2 hours - so I sort of like missed my connecting flight back to KUL. But luckily I'm traveling in 1st Class, for both sectors, so upon arrival into SIN, I was greeted by EK representative in Changi Singapore and was told that EK has arranged for me a room at Sheraton Towers Singapore, in return for missing out my connecting flight on MH610 to KUL. So there you go, who says the 1st class treatment was only meant onboard the aircraft? Worth me paying AED5750.00 for the flight ticket! LOL!
I was escorted to the arrival hall, passing through the immigration area, clearing my checked in luggage (my bags were checked in from DXB direct to KUL but since I've missed out my flight, they took my bags out and let me have 'em although I could just leave the bags there at the airport and collect 'em once I check-in again for my SIN-KUL flight the next day)
The airport transfer was ok - with a local cab. All paid by EK. EK also not only paid for my deluxe twin room, but also for my in-room supper dining and also my breakfast and transfer back to the airport from the hotel the next day. Wow - what else could I ever ask for?

The room was VERY nice. Me loike!

Spacious - in deed!

The hotel lobby - VERY spacious!
And so that wraps up my flight log/ travel log with EK432 on 1st Class...
LKY: Tudiah! Tamatlah 5 part entries, dalam masa setengah jam! :) Hebats kan!?

Mar 6 2007, 12:18 AM
And the story, continues...
1st up - the Continental Breakfast service:


One crew was busy setting up the table and doing the table layout with breakfast (continental) and the other crew concentrates on service the drinks


And afterwards, I watched "LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE"...

Later, prior to landing into SIN, around 3 hours before landing, Lunch was served:

1st up - hot savories

Noticed the table was not set with linen and all - in which MH does not practice this. I know, I was an ex 1st Class and Business Class dedicated crew once, so I know all these procedures. And so EK doesn't practice that. Tsk tsk tsk...

Although I must say, EK has an added touch to the table set-up for lunch/ their meal service. They had that small orchid on top of the table in which MH doesn't practice that back then. Don't know about now (i left the airline in Dec 2004)... but I must say the setting was very noiiicee (nice)


Both 1st class crew members doing their course by course service for lunch

The starter

My favorite - garlic bread

Personalized garden salad!

The crew, doing the main course service

My main course - chef's recommendation!

Just noiiicceee!

Dessert/ fruits service...

Loved the cream caramel without the lots and lots of the dressing!
Anything more to share? Yeap - theres more to share, when we return! 1st Class service onboard EK, doesn't end here...
LKY: AIYOH! Buat entry nih, boh gambaq² makanan, MEK PULAK YANG LAPAQ NOW! Sentiaps!!!

Mar 6 2007, 12:08 AM The very next day, on the departure day, 26th February 2006 - my flight was STD at 0845hrs. And after waking up from a slumber sleep/ rest, had my shower and all, and went downstairs to get my early breakfast before heading to the gate for my departure. Yeap, you've guessed it right on again - EAT/ FOOD again! LOL!

Morning view of the Emirates 1st Class Lounge - pretty packed!

A complete and healthy breakfast I must say - LOL! Die la FAT! LOL!
And after breakfast, the screen said something like BOARDING and so me went to the gate, gate erm, 36 or 46... but what a surprised it turned out to be - even economy class pax still not boarded YET! And I smell DELAY!!!!!!!!
And after like waiting for like another hour or so - we were all transported on the airport bus from the terminal to the aircraft which was parked like 5 minutes ride away from the terminal. And yes, the smell of DELAY was so so so soooooooooo FRESH! Hiks!
After boarded the aircraft, on ground, the crew in 1st class and the zone itself was busy. Full load in first class.

Pax still boarding

The 1st class crew serving welcome juice, arabian coffee and dates

The cabin in the 1st class, was like in any typical B773s. Spacious and filled with things to be explored - the online demand movies, menu and stuffs. So many things to do in so little time. I was like expecting to fly with B773-ER series coz its fitted with the latest 1st class zone - 180 flat bed/ seat, with individual seating areas. But I guess I just had to settle for the normal 1st class seating config!

Spacious!

Online movie demand menu/ request form


The menu

1st service is continental breakfast, and 2nd service will be lunch, prior to landing into SIN

LKY: Mek actually was VERY upset it wasn't the Boeing 777ER tu. Sentaps sangat. Macam... arrghhh! I so wanted to fly that 777ER. But well, was still flying on 1st Class la jugak, kan? Muahahahah!

DXB-SIN on EK432, A Taste Of Flying In First Class - Part 2
Mar 5 2007, 11:30 PM And what's next!? FOOD FOOD FOOD! My goodness!!!!!! I swear I think I gained weight during the more than 10 hours stay at the lounge! MY GOD!:











And since I was at the airport way way earlier than the time I should have been, like, I was at the airport since 1830hrs on the 25th of February, whereas my flight was actually on the 26th of February, at 0845hrs - so I was offered a room in the lounge. Well actually they didn't offered me - I went and requested for a room in the lounge. Imagine - a hotel/ bedroom(s) right there, in the lounge itself. It's a definite WOWWWWIEE!!! At first I didn't get the room, as it was full! But later, somewhere around midnight, as other passengers went out of the room for their flight, so after the housekeeping has done their chores, so they paged me and I got my room! WOOPPIE!

FINALLY! My room's ready! Room number 4. I think they have like 8 rooms all together... just for the long transit passengers. On my case, it's different. They don't normally offer rooms for pax originating from Dubai. But I guess, it's just MY LUCK!

DXB-SIN on EK432, A Taste Of Flying In First Class - Part 1
Mar 5 2007, 11:29 PM I would have to say, once upon a time, somewhere last year, I did an entry in my BLOG which featured the meal services onboard EK (Emirates)'s 1st class and truly, never would I ever dreamed of flying on first class Emirates. Well well, 26th February 2007, it seems that my wish came true when my dad said "Why don't you pamper yourself and travel back to KL via Sin on EK432 1st class - after all, you've been working so hard on this trip/ group. It's time you relax and enjoy the trip...". I was like - FOR REAL!? Hahahah... upgraded my Economy class seat for that 1st class seat - and what did I get in return? Not just 1st class seat with 1st class meal service on EK... but there's more to it...
Hotel pick-up: - Was picked up from Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel 12 hours before flight because I decided to hang around at the airport and also explore the 1st Class Lounge. Was picked up with Emirates' Volvo don't know what series! LOL! But sure it was comfy. Treated like a real VIP. Me loiiiikkeee (like!) Chauffeured driven of course - a friendly Pakistani guy. Sweet fella.

My misery! LOL!

My e-ticket, passport, and stuff - all intact!

A wagon Volvo? Hehehe

Tried to take the driver's pic but something went wrong somewhere I suppose! LOL!
Arrived at Dubai International Airport - First Class and Business Class Departures only. Its amazing to see how Emirates sets up its own departure hall/ check-in area/ ticketing services and all, away from their Economy Class passengers. Its like you're in another world, all on your own - surrounded by 1st class and business class passengers only. The Emirates personnel greeted me at the car as the chauffeur opened up my door. And as the chauffeur took out my luggage out of the trunk, the porter came by and assisted me also. And so that's 3 people assisting 1 1st class passenger. What more can you ask!?

Noticed the ground staff for EK had another different color of uniform. I believe that applies for almost every other airline. That's how they differentiate air crew/ ground handling and ground staff?

As you enter a world on its own... am awed!




Told ya - it's like a world on its own. But this was not during the peak hours - believe me when the peak hours arrives, it'll be as busy as the Economy Class zone checking-in area!
After checking in - me went through the immigration, again, on its own, not together with the Economy Class passengers. Then went through security screening checks and what not. NOTE: For 1st timers traveling into DXB and going out of DXB, be well prepared to take off every metal objects/ jeweleries and stuffs from your body. Even belt buckles, shoes, bracelets and all - they're very strict. And yes - EVEN for 1st class and business class passengers!

I've seen a few people/ bloggers yang buat wish list itu ini la, wish-carts la, this and that - technically, as mek paham about it; reason why diaorang buat wish list/ wishi- carts tu, is simply nak let others i.e. their readers know what they want la kan? But questionnye, diaorang nih just nak let their readers know what they want jer ke, or they nak ada dikalangan readers mereka to get 'em (the wishes) for them? Hurm... but of course, tgk mende jugak la kan. Buatnya they wish for tv PLASMA tu, or the FLAT SCREEN tv tu, ado ke readers yang sudi bagi kat depa?! Nak mampos!? Muahahahaha!
Ok, bagi mek pulak la kan, mek buat wish list nih, sajork jer nak bagi tahu ape yang mek dok mengidam nak membelik soon katanya, kan... tapi, erm, like, tatau bila la kan... hiks!

Tapikan, kan tadik, mek ada sebab I wanted something yang mek feels² kot² ada orang/ sesape yang nak hadiahkan kat mek dan make my wish come true, kans? Hiks! Mrasa. Apakebendenye tatau? Hiks! Yes u ols, noticed tak - most of the stuffs, boleh didapati di suparmarket² dan kedai² and all nih, kan? Ha, ade satu mende yang mek nak, memang SUSAH dan gerenti kerat jari beb, tak leh dapat kat Malaysia. Oversea jer adok stock mek rase. Hiks! Dan yer, bende nih, ONLINE can get maa... from Amazon.com nih! Ape kebendenyier? Hiks. Mrasa...

YES u ols!!! Mek sangat lah nak nak sangat² DVD 4 in 1 nih, sangat ² nih!!! Believe it or not, this is the one thing yang mek rasa dalam banyak² items dalam wishlist mek tu, yang dinch boleh didapati di Malaysia and thus hanya available kat oversea but made possible to buy online only kat Amazon.com itiew... So sapakah dikalangan SR² mek, readers² mek, kengkawans, strangers, and all - yang sudi make my wish come true dalam mendapatkan this DVD pack? Erm, brapa ongkos online shopping nya itiew??? Hiks! Tak mahal u ols!

Hurm... tak sampai pong USD50, ops! Hehehehe Hurry², jgn malu², jgn segan². Takmo contact and bagi tau mek kat comment area entry nih, lets, email mek, ke lea_laurielle@yahoo.com nah? Mrasa², mek tunggu! Hiks! *Mati lah "U vant tu vait? Ha, you VAIT LA FOREVER!" Muahahaha!
LKY: Yeah yeah yeah - apa susah buat entry wishlist tagih simpati raih kasihani dan sumbangansih utk dapatkan DVD 4 in 1 iniey, kan? I could just simply beli on my own - use my Visa or Master CCard la kan and make purchase online. TAPI, apakan daya, ada satu bank bodoh tu, nak kena apply VIRTUAL Visa or Master CCard la pulak, THEN only baru boleh belik online! Kejiust! Thus, idea utk Wish List kan DVD nih terhasiul. Siaul tak? Mueieueieu. Well, at least, am being honest of what I want la kan. Hehehehe. Mek tarkir nak buat blog entry utk nyatakan niat dan hasrat mek nak carik sapa yang baik hati nak belikkan hadiah DVD nih kat mek, kan? Mana ko nak - mek mintak hadiahkan mek DVD iniey ker, or, mek mintak hat the 3 items mek listed out dari my Wish List at Yahoo! Shoppings tu, kan!? Hahahahahaha... Tapikan, erm, kalau ada sapa² yang nak I.O.U dengan mek duliew pon takpa. Hang beli kat mek online, mek bayaq kat hang bila item dah sampai. That way, it will not become SPEDOship. It'll just be like, "I belikan kat u dulu online, nanti, u dapat, u bayar la kat I pulak, kan?" KAN!? Hehehehe THAT way, mek won't LARIKKK la kan...!!! Mueiueieueieue!
