Jetting off to India on a Monday night :( The good thing abt flying off to another country on a weekday is that you get to leave the office early, haha. Arrived @ the airport at 6pm sharp - so proud of myself for being early (cuz I am seldom early, even for work, haha)
Clock my mileage points with my new elite silver card (I wonder when did I get the sticker on my passport?)
Ordered pizza from sakae sushi for dinner - was too hungry to even care if the pizza are nice or not ...
Me with my usual "chui" plane image, wa ha ha
Routine-window seat picture :)
Caught Ah Long Pte Ltd
老师嫁老大; kinda crappy show, but I have to say that Mark Lee is pretty good in this movie... he's like the pillar that makes the show funny. Fann Wong was trying too hard to look man-ish, still prefer her in Just Follow Law
Dinner-time, didn't have much of an appetite cuz of the turbulence. I never encounter turbulence on all my business trips except for India. I still vividly remembered that the turbulence from India back to SG was so bad that I felt like puking on-board.
Finally, after 5 hrs of flight, arrival in Mumbai airport. Passing through the Immigration was a breeze (thank god) Waiting @ the conveyor belt for my luggage - waited close to 15 min for my luggage. Do they practice the first-in-last-out system?
We had a car pick-up from the airport; the airport is full of people & cars. You will know that you have arrived in India when you hear cars horning in the background every second.
Reached the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower @ 2am - check into Rm 911 (wa, me so lucky lah)
My bed - the pillows are better than Westin & Marriott
Working area & couch
Washroom
OK, too tired - just dropped dead on the bed after washing up. Will post up my adventure in India soon ~ *shakes head from side to side :p*
Had breakfast @ Shamjana restaurant downstairs, buffet, i like :)
Lots of food (only managed to capture some of it) - more on 2nd day
Ordered the Dona (with potato filling) for breakfast
Comes with all types of gravy that you can dip into
This is Rinta - my colleague who is the 地头蛇 in Mumbai, cuz she was flying to Mumbai almost every week during her Bloomberg days.
Meet up with 2 clients all the way till its 4pm (6.30pm SG time) and we went for our lunch @ Moshe's
Harrisa Chicken Skewers: tastes like satay, with a slight tinge of spiciness.
As it was an awkward timing, there was no main course available. Thus, we had to make do with sandwiches :( Nevertheless, the sandwiches are great! I had smoked salmon with bagels and the bagels are toasted till perfection.
Rinta's cottage cheese sandwich :) We almost thought that the waiter brought the wrong order, cuz the cheese looks very much like chicken
The highlight of the day - chocolate desserts, heavenly. The chocolate just melts in your mouth.
Super full after this meal - didn't eat my dinner at all :) Must make room for more food on the next day ^_^
