* Jayny's Blog *: KL Trip - Day 2 ( 26/2 )

We woke up around 6am to get prepared for the award ceremony...
We'll be having our breakfast at the executive lounge at 7am then set off at 8am.
We're supposed to register ourselves at 8am...
but since the ceremony begins at 8.30am, so...don't care too much la... =P

The shortest and the tallest....

we're the executives...

having breakfast at the executive lounge...

The breakfast is nice...
they even have smoked salmon and yogurt...yummy...
and we doesnt need to snatch food with the other guests since we choose to have our breakfast at the executive lounge...

We have to check out from the hotel since we're only sponsored for 1 night...sien...
we're going to move to Jimmy's house that day.

After checking out, we proceed to Sime Darby convention centre which is not far from our hotel and registered ourselves at the counter.

we each got a file and a free new issue of futurearc magazine...wow...dat'll save me Rm20+ for buying it.
