An eventful November 2008

Socially and recreationally speaking, November 2008 was an eventful month!

Let’s see what I have been up to:-

Firstly, there was my Birthday Celebration day. I enjoyed myself the whole day of it. Again, thank you very very much for the bouquet of roses, gifts (yeah…even the COW-shaped photo frame), home-made video from the KL office and the ‘nearly’ red-themed group dinner at Discovery Bay. I loved the food and place and simply luvvvvvvv the company. Thanks all!

Then there was the Sailing and Trekking Trip in Saikung. That’s my closest to rubbing shoulders with the powers that be in Hong Kong. Thanks Linda, that reminded me again why we SHOULD BE ladies of leisure.

A ‘close-to-drama’ BBQ and housewarming Dinner at a house of a friend’s friend (Mimi). It was ‘nearly’ a drama since we violated the hostess’s strict number of guest policy and later being ‘subtly’ told-off why we were only allowed to bring a certain number of people and not a person more!

Oh well, to each his own…we have to respect the ‘tuan rumah’ (host) rules & regulations. It’s not that we were simply bringing any Tom, Dick or Harry, we have a certain social obligations to our close circle of friends and can’t leave him or her out without hurting the feelings. Oh never mind… it’ll be sometime again before we make another visit there or, no-more visits! Haha!!

Okay, next came the pampering session at the uber chic Mandarin Oriental Spa. It just got better and better, didn’t it? What a day it was! Spa’ing in the morning, ‘doing’ long lunch with the gals, shopping…..the ultimate high for a social climbing Ms Wannabee.

And then the trip to Macau and at the superbly luxurious and elegant Four Seasons Hotel. No less, mind you….

Ms Wannabee was in her highest elements ever!!

Finally ending the month with our participation in the Sadaqah Charity Walk at the Tai Tam Country Park. We have befriended a new friend from this trip, Abdul Rahim, an English speaking, 3rd generation of Chinese Muslim ‘brother’, born in HK, bred in UK, seems quiet at first but quite okay once he gets started. He is also a keen outdoor man and an enthusiastic sportsman. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of many more walking trips and outdoor activities.

Hear ye! Hear ye! Here's to more exciting outdoor trips for us....

Ms Wannabee continues to dream the great, grand dreams…..
