Amex 30th Years Anniversary

April 22'09 - American Express Malaysia celebrated 30th Anniversary. Yes you got it right 30 years in Malaysia. Unfortunately I lost count number of years I have been with this company, except I started off in MAS building, where Amex Malaysia was a full fledge of Malaysia business then and I could remember all employees by names in all departments. The fact of the matter Amex Malaysia stays located in Golden Triangle, means I don't have to worry about commuting such far planets like Cyberjaya.
In conjunction with this celebration, Amex Malaysia organized a cross cultural dress, which put me under pressure to look for Jiva for an Indian customes. Jiva listed down all sort of Indian costumes in his wardrobe for my choices. I told Jiva just bring whatever you think fit except his recent wedding costumes. Like always Johana, made our day, capturing all the great moments for this occasion while I began to feel the funny sense of wearing traditional costume at work and hoping this will over very soon. Shankitha proudly poses the prestigous award of Hewitt's no 2 rank best employer in Malaysia and top 25 in Asia. I bet you can figure out by now why I still remain in Amex.

Asif Briyani Rice & Nasi Padang Kg. Baru

 
Our food outlet expert, Mawi (not the celebrity) introduced us Asif Nasi Briyani stall last Friday. It is located at Jalan Imbi near to Ritz Carlton. It serves so called authentic Pakistani cuisine. Briyani Rice with lamb shank is the highly recommended by Zarrafat, judging by he keeps on talking about it. I did not bring camera to capture the scene.
 
For those not a fan of mamak food, Nasi Padang Kg Baru is a great choice. The restaurant serves a great variety of Minangkabau cuisine at extremely affordable prices. Mutton rendang & Dendeng beef are the must try selection.        

Badminton

  
I played badminton when I was a kid and Misbun Sidek was a top player. Somehow after SPM the interest fizzled out and grew into football instead. Since then I never thought about going back to badminton. The idea came back when an effort to organize futsal never took off and I can bet my last dollar I don't think anybody else can get enough people from Authorizer team. Then all of sudden a light bulb appeared above my head "Why don't we try badminton for a change?" and the rest is history. 
Now we have an unofficial Auths Badminton Club with membership is open to Amex Authorizations, ex-colleagues or even strangers for that matter. It is certainly a nice life balance value for funny shift environment. The Club organizes twice a week at various venues. Lately we face growing challenge to secure courts and what a surprise, many people are now into badminton. So now we need to crack our head how to secure courts that seem getting tougher by weeks. Anyone?  (Photos courtesy of Johana).
