Dear diary,

Time FLIES. I can’t believe that it is already year 2008. I haven’t officially say good bye to 2007. I haven’t even blog about my Christmas’07 and my Cambodia trip’07……

……and it’s already 2008.

At least I have cleaned up my room for the brand new year and get myself a new planner for year 2008.

I woke up on 2pm as usual. Had my lunch. and the door bell rang.

To my surprise, I received pink roses!! I’m amazed and gone speechless for a few seconds. This is the cutest bouquet I have ever received. There are super cute blue bears chunked inside the flowers. It put a smile on my face because I fancy teddy bears.

Evening, I went to Etoile, Equatorial Hotel for a very special christmas eve dinner. With proper arrangement, we get a reserved table along with 3 course meal + Chardonnay (white wine).

The food is good, the wine goes well with the food! Everything seems so perfect…the chatter, the companion, the setting and there’s Santa Clause coming by to give us candies…a red rose is given to the ladies at the end of the meal. This is so ‘valentine day‘ man! But it’s not, it’s Christmas Eve!

A PEEP OF THE CITY

After the super duper nice dinner, I spent the rest of my night in Pavilion and Starhill. Just feel like going the posh way this year. I rest my legs somewhere around Ritz Carlton’s lounge…listening to the Jazz singer singing “L-O-V-E” along with piano accompaniment. followed by “When You Say Nothing at all” etc. This is pure indulgence I would say. Great ambient; Excellent Music!

WHITE CHRISTMAS IN STARHILL

SUPER NICE CHANDELIER IN MARRIOT, KL

As midnight approaches, the live singer in Starhill did a lil’ simple count down and we just hang out with the crowd there…counting down to Christmas!

Knowing that alcohol will perfect the night … I headed to La Bodega, Pavilion for some cocktails.

I had Cosmopolitan, Mojito and Baileys on the Rock. There is guest DJ in the pub to spice up the night…loud music, crazy party people and alcohol. The manager treated us 2 shooters – Baileys + Butterscotch. I know I’m not that good at drinking…but it’s not very good to not drink because someone is treating you…plus you need to drink it at one shot. that’s why it’s called ’shooter’. Luckily there’s someone to drink it up for me. thank God I don’t have to get drunk at this beautiful night of Christmas Eve.

Spent my day in Pavilion again. I watched “I am Legend“. Will Smith is damm good at acting I have to admit. But…”I am Legend” is not my type of movie. I didn’t really enjoy it. However, there is some sort of hidden values in the movie which makes it quite significant.

Before the movie, I ordered Baileys on the rock in La Bodega. I think I’m addicted to Baileys. Another good thing that happened on Christmas day was – I received Casis Rose Perfume which I’ve long yearned for. It is nearly miracle for me to seek for a perfume that is light and mild and won’t make my heads turn round. Lotus Petal smells good too but I only get to choose one and I’ve chosen Casis Rose. Anyway, I’m thankful about it.
