This is my entry regarding the europe trip.. it has been exactly a month since i come back from my europe trip..

21st June 09 - My flight to Amsterdam at 10.55pm.. Reach KLIA at 8.45pm. Met with the team that i'll be going with.. Seven of us in the trip, me, my boss, OPUS - Gary n En. Ahmad Fuad, SuperSix - Yeong n En. Ghazali, MegaJati - En. Hasnol... basically i'm the youngest among them.. Upon meeting all of them, my mom told them to look after as i'm the only lady in trip hehehehehe... Check in at 10pm.. Took the aero train to board the plane..

22nd June 09 - Reach Schipol Airport at 7am their time.. hang around the airport while waiting for our connecting flight to London.. Reach London at 9++ and wait for our shuttle service to take us to the hotel. We stayed at Bermondsey Hotel at Bermondsey street.. A modern n new hotel... nice and comfy.. we were given 20 mins to freshen up and come down for lunch.. so i rush and took a shower before going down.. we went walking along the street near the hotel and luckily we found a halal kebab restaurant... eat kebab that comes in a big portion.. alhamdulillah, everyone was full and we start walking to the so called nearest station.. it was far far away.. took the underground train from Elephant Castle to Oxford Circus.. Reach to the famous shopping street and we split up and promise to gather back at 5pm.. Walk along the street and nothing really attracted me.. Went to look for Hacket boutique as my bro wants a tshirt from there.. Luckily i managed to find the shop and bought him a t-shirt.. after meeting up again at the station, we took the train back to the hotel.. i was damn tired and didn't bother to go down for dinner...

23rd June 09 - Meet up at 8am.. we bought the hop on hop off ticket to go around London.. it was really interesting as we managed to cover the almost all of London and all the interesting places.. We had our lunch at a Malaysian restaurant at Trafalgar Square, Jom Makan... the food is not so bad, ok la.. after completing all the line, we went to Harrods the ever famous shopping arcade there... I bought a handbag for Ma there.. then we wen back to the hotel, hang put at the cafe for a cup of coffee.. Rest for an hour before we get down for dinner at a Turkish restaurant... the food were good...back to the hotel and sleep...

24 June 09 - gather down at 7.30am for breakfast.. after breakfast went back up to pack our stuff and check out at 11am.. so good bye london and welcome copenhagen, denmark... the first thing that all of notice upon arriving at the airport is that all the taxi there are Mercedes!!!! From the old model to the latest model, all of it is used as a taxi.. We stayed at Scandic Hotel.. ok basically there is 5 scandic hotel at copenhagen.. We were staying at one of it that is located in front of the planetarium.. check in and lepak for an hour before we went out again in the evening.. walk around the hotel area while looking for a halal restaurant... we ate at an ankara restaurant there, food was good.. after dinner went back n sleep..

25 June 09 - Gather down for breakfast at 7am.. by 8am we left to the airport.. Took the flight to Karup for our first factory visit.. Reach Karup, went straight to Grunfos Factory.. I must say that the office is superb, condusive working environment and i will really enjoy working there.. lots of knowledge that we learn on that day.. had lunch there, obviously we ate what we can eat - raw salmon, fruits... took the flight back to copenhagen..

26 June 09 - Gather down at 7am for breakfast.. Then we took a mpv taxi to lund, sweeden... it tooks us an hour n half to reach the place.. went to Alfa laval factory.. New knowledge and technology to learn... they gave us a souvenir before we went back.. Lund is a small town in Sweeden, so there is nothing much for us to see.. Drive back again to Copenhagen...

27 June 09 - Rest and relax day... again we took the hop on n hop off bus to go around copenhagen... we went to the famous little mermaid statue.. basically it all about the historical building there... the whole day we went around the area.. by evening we went back to the hotel.. then we went out for a cup of coffee at one of the cafe there.. hang around and chat..

28 June 09 - another day to lepak.. bought some souvenirs for family n friends.. demark is a very expensive country.. so it was not really worth it to buy things there.. all of us was saying that this will be the first n last we come here.. after checking out we went to the airport and hang around there for almost 4 hours!!!! i slept at the airport hahahahahaha... reach amsterdam at 10++pm.. by the time we reach our hotel it was almost midnight.. we stayed at Eden Hotel.. very nice and cozy hotel...

29 June 09 - meet up at 6.30am and the coffee house is not open yet.. we had to wait 7am for breakfast.. after breakfast, we walk to central station.. took a train to eindhoven for a factory visit.. We went to spirotech.. This product - Spiro Vent is very very interesting... and i'm proud that my comp will the first to use this product in malaysia!! had lunch there and this is the best lunch that we ever had while we are at europe... It was indomalay food.. as known to all, there's a lot of indonesian there... we got a souvenir from them, a clock photo frame with picture of us in front of factory and a book about amsterdam interesting places.. i really like it... after the factory visit, we went to eindhoven stadium since my boss is a football fan.. he was really really happy that he was there.. i bought a t-shirt for my dad there.. our journey back was interesting.. we supposed to take a train and interchange at rotterdam central.. but we taught y not we just take a direct tren to central station.. but we end at the station for an hour plus and took the train for an hour and half... instead of saving some time, we wasted our time.. by the time we reach hotel, all of us was damn tired.. we rest for a while before going down for dinner..

Our luggage was stored in their luggage room.. then we took a mpv shuttle service to bring us around amsterdam.. the first stop was at ever famous Windmill area.. then went to cheese making factory... the cheese are really good.. then we went to the clog making factory.. it's actually very fast and easy to make now as all of it is using machine compare to the olden days where they take days to get a pair of clog done.. then we went to Marken and the area around there... Oh yes we went to the Red Light district at day light.. believe me business is as usual except that it is not as busy as it is at night... hehehehe... went back to the hotel, pack the souvenirs that we bought and head to the airport at 6pm.. hang around the airport, i managed to buy a souvenir there... hehehehe... took our flight at 10pm...

1 July 09 - Reach KLIA at 2pm.. Home sweet home... I really miss my family, my hometown, the food.. while we were there, we ate kebab almost everyday.. i'm not going to eat kebab for months, enough of it...

It was an interesting and wonderful trip... have i ever imagine myself being in europe, shopping at harrods n etc.. of course i have the dream of going there but not as early as this.. it's all in Allah's hand.. i'm really greatful to Allah for giving me the opportunity to go there... Thank you Allah...

June

Everyone took off on the 18th.. we went to klcc for lunch, plan to take zara to the pool but unfortunately the pool is closed for some upgrading works.... so we just walked around n around... was back by 6pm coz that night we did doa selamat for zara at the surau.. intended to do her birthday party on the weekend but it will be quite tight for me.. therefore it was decided to potponed the party..

i met V on one of the days, can't really remember when.. we hang out at starbucks, klcc... chat, update each other n then V told me she's getting married end of the month... so that's y she insist on meeting up with me so that she can give me the invitation card.. happy for her that she found her other half...

ok now is the most unexpected thing that happen in my life.. on 12th of june i received a phone call frm my boss at 6++.. i was thinking it should be something to do with works.. my boss asked me will i be free frm 21/6 - 29/6?? i said yes, i will be free.. that he drop the one million dollar question.. do u want to go to europe?? i was shock, really shock.. my answer was it's up to you, boss.. u decided and i'll follow.. there will be 3 trips - 1st to europe, 2nd to US and 3rd to china.. i can't be choosy so i just let him decide.. so my boss decided, europe will be MAA & NAJ, US will be WRH & ZY and china will be IJ, MZA & HR... but IJ, my second boss doesn't want to go so ZI will be going to china... then on tuesday before the weekend to Europe, i took the flu vaccine just to be on the safe side.. i will be going to london, copenhagen and amsterdam...
