JungFrauJoch - The highest point of Europe

What TZ did on this year April fool? hahaha... TZ visited the highest point of Europe called JungFrauJoch - Top of Europe. The highest point that you may visit is located at 11,782ft / 3,571m above the sea level.

How to get there?
You have to take a two hours train from Interlaken to Kleine Scheidegg and switched to another train to go up to the JungFrauJoch - Top of Europe station. The journey took 2 hours from Interlaken including the transit to the top. The train fare cost CHF179 return which equivalent to RM716.

Train to JungFrauJoch - Top of Europe @ Kleine Scheidegg

@ the Top of Europe, you will experience the feeling of gasping for breath as the air is thinner. 
Anyway, how's the view at the top?

As we walked along to the other side of the building we were directed to the Icy Glacier area of the mountain. This is an interesting area as the floor, ceiling, wall were made of ice. i.e. we are inside the glacier.

We stayed there for half a day and decided to leave the place to head back to Interlaken to do some shopping and later catch our train back to Zurich for our connecting train to Brussel, Belgium. There will be another adventure in Brussel, Belgium eh~

JungFrauJoch - Top of Europe is a worth to visit as we have experienced quick a number of things which we would not be able to find them in Malaysia

1. The high altitude gasping for breath cause it's 11,782ft above sea level about 2.5 times higher than Mt. Kinabalu.
2. Walking and half sliding on the icy floor inside the Glacier. Squeeze through the small tunnel inside the Glacier
3. Sit in the train that climb up the mountain with spectacular view of the rocky Alps mountain range
4. Amazing long tunnel inside the mountain range which is built 100 years ago
5. JungFrauJoch got its Unesco World Heritage status on 2001

Friday Booze @ Morgan Fields Pavilion KL

My ex-colleague just got back from Taiwan for a few weeks break before her job starts. She whatsapp me and asked me to organize/contact the other two colleagues of us to chill out during happy hour on Friday night. I added all the invitees to the whatsapp, kicked start the conversation as a group and arranged with them. At the end, we decided to meet in Pavillion Kuala Lumpur.

During all the whatsapping, we didn't decide where we wanna drink and snack in Pavilion. We kind of agree to walk around and go with the flow. We came across Morgan Fields which offered 3pints of Hoegaarden or 3 Pint of 1664 Blanc beer for RM80 nett. So we decided to bunk in Morgan Fields.

Looking at the menu, the sharing ribs and chicken platter has attracted us to order. The Ribs in the menu kept sending the signal... ORDER ME! ORDER ME!... 

Pork Rib with Hoegaarden; is it booze or what?

The drink was good no doubt... it's Hoegaarden. The platter was yummilious too. Chat and eat then we only realized we ate a lot. We decided to have 2 round of different beer, ordered 1664 Blanc for our 2nd round.

It was a pleasant night out with so much of catch up...

In the afternoon,

After few minutes, Friend B whatsapp me...
Friend B: Are you coming to SG in July? Friend A wanna watch Giselle - Ballet under the stars
Me: Okay. Then I will go to Singapore every month :p
Friend B: No Problem.

So i reply back to Friend A that i'm okay for the ballet under the stars
Me : Okay
Friend A: Yay!!! I go book tickets.

At night,  40 mins before the conference.
As I was looking at the air ticket to Singapore on that weekend in July. I asked Friend A...

Me: Hey the ballet is on Saturday?
Friend A: Yes!
Me: Once you confirm i will book the air ticket eh~

TZ @ ambiguous period...

Reorganization, Restructuring, Re-mapping resources... are very common terminology in Multinational Companies. The more the workforce turns into global, the more political issues arose.  Due to the saving storm, most of the companies will keep restructuring and reorganizing until they reach the target or stay within the cost.

Guess what? I'm going to report to a different manager again after the restructuring of my team. Hurray~ This will be my 4th boss within 2.5 years with the company. Is it good or bad to me? Hmm... I think good is we get to have fresh start whenever there is a change but... Bad is obviously we need to re-adjust ourselves to new expectation from different boss. Style change again eh~. Sigh!

Anyway, whenever there is a restructuring/reorganizing... there will be an ambiguous period within the team. Lots of rumors are wondering around too. This colleague is going to resign, that colleague is looking for a better position outside the team (i.e. internal transfer). blah blah blah... So how true is that?

TZ is in the ambiguous period as he forced to leave the good manager whom he is reporting and could easily work well with . Now he has to start all over again to work out the expectation with the new boss... Good or bad?

when to say; where to start; what to expect; how to action; why?

LoL... this no longer on figuring where to visit shown in the picture above. It is the period on getting the 4W and 1H answered and plan out the right career path... :p

SkyBar @ Traders Hotel

Yup! the bar is high up in the sky...

The famous and popular Skybar is located at 33th floors of Traders Hotel KLCC. The bar has become an icon or a must visit place when you are in  Kuala Lumpur.

SkyBar located at 33th floor of Trader Hotel. It started with a simple pool bar like other poolside bar in Kuala Lumpur. If you look into the picture below carefully, you would be able to see some people swimming in the pool. Once sundown... the Skybar will turn into a live bar with nice music and booze. Not to mention the spectacular view of Petronas Twin Tower as the backdrop of the bar which has made this place a very nice place to chill and hangout with friends after work or weekend.

Skybar - Traders Hotel KLCC

Last Monday (June 10th) was my friend's birthday. I was searching high and low for a nice place to celebrate my friend's birthday. Finally i figured out and brought her to this prestigious bar in Kuala Lumpur.  We order foods and drinks, sitting facing outside, waiting for the spectacular moment...

Spectacular moment... what is the moment about?
If you get a nice seat by the windows you will get a splendid view of Petronas Twin Tower...

Sunset view

Sundown... Lights up

Completely lights up in dark

So the spectacular moment is that you got the chance to see the different snapshots of the Petronas Twin Tower as time passerby from sunset until the lights up completely as the sky getting darker and darker.

You might also wanna to turn around and look at the bar with the pool and it's surrounding area within the CBD of Kuala Lumpur.
