For the first time ever in my entire working-life, I had a work oversea assignment :D Well, been to Singapore once years ago during my early years with Mayban Finance for an MSAGL system training. But that was a training. This is a work assignment. I was sent to Hong Kong to test the ICBA system for our HK branch version. Flew to Hong Kong with our project lead, Vijay and another tester, Valli and 2 infopro staff, Eira and Uncle Tan.
I noticed in my teenage daughter's instagram that it's a trend for those going abroad to take this kind of pic... so yeah, why not?! Nak gak buat :'D
Once we touched down... went straight to our HK branch.
That's Vijay in the pic entering our branch.
Welcome to Maybank Hong Kong :D
Nice office! Loving the cooperate yellow background!
Our office is at the Citic Tower located in Tim Mei Avenue, Admiralty, Hong Kong.
So yeah, went to work right after touch down and left the office around 8pm... huhu! After work, walked with Vijay, Valli and Eira to a halal restaurant nearby.
It was already dark by the time we left the office.
Our first dinner in Hong Kong was Briyani rice!
They have a selection of chicken, fish and lamb briyani. All quite nice. But the price was like RM30 per serve.... aiyoo...-.-
After dinner, Vijay and Valli went back to their hotel while Eira and myself went back to Maybank Apartment where our home would be during our stay here in HK.
My room in Maybank Apartment in HK - small and cozy. Just nice for me :D
The apartment has 3 rooms, one living hall and a kitchen. Can cook if we want...
Souvenirs from HK government which I got upon arrival at the airport :D
Lotsa fridge magnets and magnetic bookmark! Thank you HK! But errr.... awat la fridge magnets budha... huhu :P
Day 2 : view from my room
Queuing for bus no '1' to go to work. It cost me HKD3.40 per trip.
Took bus everyday back to forth to and from work.
It rained almost all the time I was in HK :D
View from the room where I do testing
When I messaged my sisters telling them that I am in Maybank HK, they asked me to selfie...
so here goes.. :D
Me and Valli at work :D
The restaurant that I went everyday for lunch with Eira :D
My housemate and lunch partner in Hong Kong - Eira :D
My lunch on 2nd day - nasi ayam : Hong Kong version! Yummy!!!! Kenyang sangat!
That night, we went home quite late. Reached the apartment around 10pm. Dari lapaq terus hilang lapaq... rasa nak tidur jer... so we ended up makan roti with sambal kentang that I bought from Zura and sambal bilis that Eira brought from KL.
Breakfast the next morning was Mi Sedap Maggie goreng :D
3rd day morning, I dropped by at Starbuck to buy a Starbuck Hong Kong city tumbler as ordered by my eldest sis. My Along started a collection of the tumbler when her eldest son worked in Starbuck years ago. Not a bad idea kan... collection starbuck city tumbler ni...
Opsss... sorry I forgot to take the tumbler pic but just take the wrapped tumbler :D
As usual, whenever we buy a tumbler, we'll get free starbuck coffee... so yeah, I had Starbuck latte this morning.
Lunch on 3rd day - Fish and Chip!
Us, the 3 Maybanker testers :D
Day 4 was a Saturday... tapi still kena kerja :P
But I gotto enjoy this view from another angle of the office :)
Well, not many staff work on Saturday, so boleh la pusing2 office tenguk view :D
Yours truly berposing tapi gelap la pulok :P
Fish briyani again for lunch on Day 4
At 5pm, I left the office to go to the airport. Vijay said to show this to the taxi driver (it's difficult to communicate here as some taxi drivers do not understand english).
But Anil, one of the Infopro staff and Eira decided to accompany me to the taxi. And Anil can speak Cantonese despite the fact he is an Indian! Caya lah Anil!! Terharu lak bila Anil and Eira teman ke airport sebab Maybankers pun tak teman I ke airport... huhu! (well actually Vijay did ask if I want them to teman me.. but I said no. But Anil and Eira did not ask... they just teman me without question.... so sweet of them :))
At the airport express, I took the HK express train to terminal 1. (cost me HKD100)
Selfie sket in the train :D
Had to wait for a while for my flight gate number. Lepak for a while and when it came out... giler jauh kena jalan to gate 34... huhu!
Kuala Lumpur, mu tunggu aku datang!! :D
