So I attended the  UKM 42nd Convocation as it spelled h.e.c.t.i.c. It rained so heavy when we were on our way and I was in heel. God bless me. But then, when we arrived, it was super hot and humid. We had to park the car so far away that going back to the car after the convocation end felt like I just finished running a marathon. Getting our of the place was another thing and stuck in a moving jam is another thing. We end up having dinner below our rented service apartment.

The convocation reminded me a lot during my degree convocation. The feeling was so overwhelmed. 

The sister-in-law brought us to Sentul Park where her office is situated and that is also where the famous KLPAC is. The place was so beautiful and artsy. We didn't spent long there as time was not on our side. You are not allow to take any photographs of anything there without permission. But we took a few anyway. The place is also a VSCOCAM application friendly. If you get what I mean.

During the last day of my trip to KL, we got to spent a few hours in Publika. The hip place for teenagers with many cafes scattered around. Places that you could see people tag in social media like Wondermilk, Boat Noodle and to name a few. We also managed to meet up with BFF (the happy part). You know, we've been friends for like forever and no matter where both of us end up, we will still meet. She's my definition of friends forever although we had to drive like crazy people to the airport. My flight was scheduled at 9pm but we were still in Publika at 7.30pm. Mad rush people.

So Alla arrived like 40 minutes after us. So while waiting for them, me and Juan had a tour around Publika. The place is so confusing that we didn't know where we came in at first (I suck at directions, so you know). If you're a shopaholic, then I guess this is not your place unless if you're a coffee lover, . Publika has small shops in it, not the bigger ones that you can see in places like Midvalley and Pavillion.

I had the opportunity to fly with MAS last weekend due to cheap tickets that were offered over their website. I was very excited to fly with them as it has been ages since the last. With what's going on around MH17 and MH370, I'd thought it will be nice to recall the memories I had with MAS by flying with them for my trip to KL.

Me, Juan and the father-in-law flew while the rest of the family took the car. I'm glad that Juan suggested that we fly this time instead of taking 2 cars for this trip. I wouldn't have had the chance if it wasn't for Juan's suggestion. 

As our flight got delayed for around 4o minutes, I had the chance to capture some photos. Looking at the MAS logo by the tail wing reminded me a lot of the old days when me and the family travel by Malaysia Airline. The feeling you have when it landed at airports around the world. You feel proud. Not just if you had that feeling or was it just me. And when strangers ask you, what airline are you taking, saying 'Malaysia Airline' is something to be proud of.

When we boarded the flight, I noticed that the interior part of the aircraft has changed. I can no longer see the colorful fabric seats anymore. They were just leather seats, just like other budget airline. But what excite me are their uniforms. The same batik print. Nostalgic.

It was Friday and it was Halloween. Prior to that date, I communicated with my team to do something fun this year. To break the ice. Proof that Human Resource people are not just a bunch of keyboard 'warriors'. 

A few of us bought the witch hat, which I think the easiest item to get hold of. While I brought my rabbit half-suit, a gift from my sister-in-law who went Korea a few months back . So I guess it was just nice to wear it in the office.

I believe that it was a good start for everyone to have fun. Bringing the right culture to another company can sometimes be a good thing. Putting some fun into work place instead of looking at the monitor for 8 hours straight.

An ex MBA classmate of mine is getting married in December. Well, I consider as a close friend as well. So she hired me and another close friend of ours as bridesmaid. Well, when she told us that she wanted us to be her 'chi mui' on that day, I was jumping with excitement. I mean literally. I've never been one so to be chosen, is a big of a deal for me. There'll be 8 of us on the day of the wedding. Each of us were given a set of dress. I'm still trying to figure out on how to wear the dress.

We've been going up and down to her house, helping her with the preparations for the past few weeks. Last weekend, we helped her cut the wishes card for the guest to write for the bride and groom. 100 pieces, each one on manual labour!
