High Life & Star Studded Week

Two weeks ago, I had a spate of experiencing the high life in the course of my work. Okay, not a spate but for an ordinary Jo like me, two in a week is quite a lot. :)

The first was experiencing a 4 course Finnish meal prepared by Asian Food Channel (AFC) celebrity chef, Sara La Fountain. Unfortunately, since I do not have cable TV, I did not know who she was. She is this gorgeous chef from Finland and er, the rest of what I know of her comes from Wiki.

I loved the starter, a spoonful of minced beef and lamb combined with marinated beet and the dessert, baked Alaska with blueberry ice cream. Oooh! A far cry from the baked Alaska I had at a restaurant in PJ recently which had more egg white than any other ingredient with two dried chocolate cakes.

Tablespoonful of minced beef and lamb.

The second was a launch of my company's product launch which we held at a restaurant in town followed by a bus ride (complete with outriders) to Port Klang to board a boat where we sailed out to a rendezvous point to watch the setting sun.

The gorgeous sunset
As you can imagine, I took quite a lot of sunset photos...

The atmosphere was further pumped up by Ning Baizura's energizing performance which brought quite a lot of people into a dancing mood. So we boogied the night away with colleagues and partners. And got home at almost 2am with aching feet but happy to have been part of the organizing team.
  
Good friends
With Ning Baizura
