Jade Inc. Returns!

Well... Where should I start....? A lot of changes happened in my life between the gaps since I last updated my blog... lots of ups and downs... I've changed job since early Oct 2007 and found myself reporting to work right the following day after it was my last day in the previous job... What a mad thing to do... Afterwhich I was very much engaged in the current job involved in a new startup company... figuring out what the hell I'm there for, why am I constantly feeling as though I need another 3 of my clones to be able to finish the work....

But wait! Where have my manners gone? I shouldn't bore anyone (including myself) on my current job affairs, so let's start off my 'comeback' post with some collage of random stuff in my life so far............... *ahem* since June 2007 that is :p

Checked out The Gardens shopping mall in Mid Valley City during my trip to KL in July and it was love at first sight! I liked all the wooden interior...

There was Mid Year Sale going on hence the decorations...

And my... my... the glass walkway bridge... so elegant!

That's how the bridge looks like from the bottom...

The greeneries and water features...

There were huge stretches of colour-changing lightings adourning the wodden walls on the upper floors

.... and I also noticed some laser-beam-like projections on the odd-shaped rectangular panels as well

When we reached the tail end of the mall, it is a round-shaped enclosure design and the high pillars were also installed with colour-changing laser-beams running up and down the pillars... simply beautiful

The boutiques are all very elegently deco-ed with colour-schemes and I must say that KL shopping malls put in a lot of effort on the 'packaging' - even the shopping malls and boutiques spend quite a fair bit on deco-ing for the Mid Year Sale whereas there's not much going on in Penang shopping malls during Sale season

Even the advertisements are now geared towards 3-D via a see-thru glass box.. this very conventional yet innovative advert is for Maxis.. (we've seen these before on TV)


I didn't capture this on pic but The Gardens had an Interactive Directory system which is touch-screen based for shoppers to look for anything under the sun (within the Gardens of course) - though the technology is nothing new to us, but it is state-of-the-art for shopping malls to make use of this technology for its Directory system.

Everyone knows how much I like ice cream and particularly Gelato ice cream! Was so spoilt for choice in Mid Valley Megamall standing in front of this place simply called Gelato Fruit (coz they had a whole range of fruit Gelato flavours as well) ....

and took me and bf a while to decide which 2 flavours to get ourselves... and we ended up with .... Soursop + Tiramisu......!




It was stillll so yummmmmy eventhough it cost us bloody RM 9 for it! *gulp*

Some interesting 'architectures' which caught my attention.........

Nike booth set up with very life-like sport mannequins in Mid Valley Megamall....




Euro Cup football fever advert by Nike as well (in front of One Utama)

A temporary full-size squash stadium set up within the main atrium of The Curve - complete with a proper spectator stand as well.... (don't ask me how they can apparently move the spectator stand into the atrium coz I haven't got the faintest clue) Apparently there's a match between Nicol David and someone else or some other people ;)



A very interesting chess layout right outside of TGIF The Curve's exit... with a sign 'Enjoy a game of chess' beside it

A very nice co-worker Dz took the effort to bring us some 'bubur durian' (translation : Malay word for Durian porridge) for everyone in the team one fine night.... thanks to his mom for cooking it and to him for sharing it with us!
And he even bought a loaf of WholeGrain FibreMeal bread (whatever that is) to go with it... how sweet..
But I just ate it the plain ol' way... and it's tasty! *thumbs up*

Burnt some additional cash unexpectedly on changing a brand new tyre when I just expected to fix the alignment problem on my car.... it appears that my tyre was almost at the verge of a 'bubble burst'.. check out the condition of it.

Ah well, I had to tell myself that my LIFE is worth much more than the increased price of a tyre ok?

They sell quite a lot of rims too...

Found this cute li'l hippo at Borders and immediately had to get my hands on it!
It's a soft jelly wrist rest actually... and that's exactly what I needed for my most-of-the-time-more-than-12-hrs-work job involving the use of none other than the greatest invention of all times - the Notebook

Cute and cuteness are the only words I can think of to describe this hippo - now She is a Happy Hippo and the reason why I know it's a 'she' is coz she has very attractive and alluring eye lashes and her ears and nose are pink!

There are alphabets contained within the soft jelly - A, B, C and Ds only to be exactAnd this is how I use it!Ever since Happy Hippo made its debut in the office it seems that everyone just wants to get their hands on her coz she's just so cute! There's even a video dedicated for her - it's a magic trick making Happy Hippo disappear (luckily that's just magic and She did not disappear)
