Sarawak: More Than A Paradise

Sarah invited me to this dinner thing last Monday. A launch of the new Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) logo. Held at Crowne Plaza Riverside, from 7 PM till 10 PM.


This is the old logo, one that has been used since STB is established in 1995. "Sarawak: The Hidden Paradise of Borneo".


And this is the new one. A more sleek and modern look with a new motto: "Sarawak: More Than A Paradise". I took 10 pictures of the same thing and this is the best I can get. I zoomed 11x so it's a bit shaky.

Sarah's mum gave a speech since she is now the new CEO of STB. And then this old minister dude, who is probably best friend with Thomas and Goi, gave a long (boring) winding speech, which I doubt most people listen to, less understand it.

Then they gave an impressive *cough* presentation and then... the food! Ahhh...


The first course. I shamelessly took it, all the while Mona was sniggering at me. I didn't care what the old people at my table think. It's for my blog, damnit! People would want to see this blurry picture of redish things. Don't ask me what it was. We have no idea either.

The best thing was, they served butter prawns with oat! Yuumm... Sorry, no pic of it. Too busy trying to get as many as I shamelessly can.

Well, the best thing of that dinner was we took a lot of pictures and had fun doing it.


Me and Mona with different expressions. We are so lah vain.


From left: Yours truly, Mona, Sarah. We thought these poses were boring so we tried to be silly... See below.


We ended up with lots of blurry pictures because we couldn't stop laughing.


The four of us. From left: Me, Mona, Sarah and Maman. Maman can never smile. A funny guy who won't smile for the camera. Like Saiful.


When we're all done, we went outside... to take more pictures! Oh, the bags in the above pic were gifts! Inside there's a mug, a T-shirt, a CD, a mouse pad, a pamplet and a brochure. Wee! Free stuff!

We went to Coffee Bean after that. This is the Chocolate Cheese Cake. And that's Sarah's hand on the right. I promised her to include this picture because of the appearance of her hand. What the hell, right? I put up lots of pictures with her face actually in it and she told me to put this too. The hand wants 1 second of fame, is it?


Mine and Sarah's hot chocolate. Mine's the bigger one. That's Maman's Dunhill Menthol Light. Score! A guy who smokes menthol. Heh. Maman didn't know he was in the picture. When he did, he was all "Oh take another picture of me posing!". Yeah, sure Mr Metrosexual/Vain... We didn't take any.

I wanted to put vain pictures of me and Sarah waiting outside Parkson for Maman to buy a pack of cigarettes across the street but it's in Sarah's camera. We had this funny conversation while taking pictures.

Nysa: Oh let's take pictures!

Did it surprise you guys that I was the one who suggested it? When we were holding the camera...

Nysa: Don't care if it's weird. Or if people think we're vain. We ARE weird AND vain!

Sarah: Yeah. This is for Friendster! Our lives revolve around it!

Nysa: That is so sad! But it's true... *click* *click* *click*
