Langkawi chocolate hunt!

Langkawi trip could be a nice one if you have money in pocket! There are so many exciting activities, you could join the island hoping, eagle feeding, jungle trekking etc. We have been to Langkawi a few times before. This time around our target was shopping.

Chocolate is always our favourite. You can see below is my family collection of chocolate and liquor from langkawi.


A variety of chocolates.


This is my brother's collection.


The liquor only costed 3.50rm - 5.00rm each bottle.

Much of the chocolate bought were in the form of sweet chocolate, combining chocolate with sugar. Some are white chocolate, dark chocolate and liquor chocolate.

Chocolate has become one of the most popular flavors in the world. Gifts of chocolate molded into different shapes have become a custom especially on Valentine's Day. My brother secretly bought a few gracefully wrapped presents for his girlfriends.

We bought four bottles of liquor and shared among us. We think that.....

Vodka Ice tasted like Sprite
Vodka Pink tasted like 100 plus
Kampai Blueberry tasted like cough syrup.
Whisky Cola tasted like coke.

Petronas's Offer

Yesterday I received an offer letter from Petronas. Position is as bellows:

Construction Executive
Production Planning Department, Sabah Operation, Operations Division
PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd,
Kota Kinablu, Sabah.

A 16-day PIPE (PETRONAS Induction Program for new Executives) at PERMATA will begin on 4 May 2009. I have to report at K.K. on 21 May 2009.

Alright, I do not know what expression to make. I have never imagined myself to be looking at the sea in the mornings and walking by the sea shore in the evenings.


Now two choices are given to me:

1. Accept the offer -> Set up everything new at K.K.
2. Reject the offer -> Breach of contract (according to Petronas HRM executive)

Does anybody have any contact at K.K. so that I could comprehend about the job and environment? Please let me know, thanks.
