Marche

Just got back from PD. We had a workshop there on ISO. It's no small feat, to get certified. That much I know. Each department presented their procedures, and a consultant gave comments on the procedures. Other people started giving comments and asking questions, until somebody said that we wouldn't be able to finish discussing the procedures if there were too many questions. So after that, we manage to sail smoothly. Not that smoothly, but almost. I presented department's procedures, and there were a few questions raised. I answered what I could, and my colleague and my boss would back me up whenever I stumbled. It was an experience, to say the least. But I guess I'm getting used to being asked irrelevant and hostile questions whenever people know that I'm from the IT department. Only when we present stuff that this happens. We stayed at Corus Paradise. And I have to say that I was impressed. The hotel is seriously beautiful. And the room is nice. Seriously nice. But the food is mediocre. I was quite disappointed with the buffet spread.

Yesterday went to the Curve at Bandar Utama to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday. We bought her a perfume she wanted. How did we know she wanted that perfume? Well, my mum asked her. It was Polo Ralph Lauren's Romance. At the Curve, we had a late lunch at Marche (pronounced Mar-shay). It's a new concept for me. The whole restaurant is made to look like a marketplace, where they have everything from steaks, to salads, to tom yam mee. And all we have to do is to get a Marche passport, then proceed to any stall, order what we want, get our passport stamped, wait while they prepare the food, then proceed to walk back to the table with the food. Like I said, it's a new thing for me. The food there is nice. I had a bowl of salad, ribeye steak, carrot juice, and orange juice. Thanks bro.
