This is my 3rd of the annual event. It is always during the last weekend of every March. This year is from 26 to 28th March.
I have a lot more pictures to post but wait till I get around it. They are still in my camera. ;-p
We were upgraded when we checkin and was told the room is of a bigger size as it is attached with a balcony.
When I was told we are taking this old cow to the airport, my jaws almost drop. *huh*
Three of us – 1 small (that’s me), 1 medium, 1 large, how are we going to fit into this tiny old cow?
*stepping back* Hold on? What about our luggage? We have 4 pieces, all pulleys.
I don’t want my luggage strap to the top of this old cow. (From my previous experience I gain a wet luggage.)
We did manage to squeeze everyone and everything in. The only place to rest my hands is on my thighs. I can’t even bend to see my feet! I am constantly worried it will break down in the middle of the forever chaotic traffic, and I’ll be force to get down and cornered by the street beggars. *cold sweat dripping off my forehead*
Thankfully nothing of those happened in the 20-min ride. Unfounded worries. *phew*
Took this picture when the driver is unloading the luggage. Off to Delhi now.
PS: Mumbai domestic airport is so much better than its international airport. Strange.
I am not a believer but see what I've got (the top one is mine).
Ming Yang - The Chinese restaurant at Taj Lands End, surprisingly serve very nice food compare to the previous Taj I've stayed.
Reached the hotel last night.
Gosh, outside is HOT (37°C) and HUMID. Not going out.
The view from the room is the grey sea and unsightly construction.
This ‘torn’ building was a hotel and Taj Group bought it. They are tearing it down to build another wing for Taj Lands End. Heard they will build a bridge as link.
I like the size of the bathroom. With a glass panel dividing the bathroom and bedroom, the bathroom feels bright and spacious. Feel different as the view of the room is right in front (!) of me while I'm washing up at the sink. I kept looking for the mirror! Hahaha.
I have seen and used this kind of toilet many times but I didn’t expect they have it in Mumbai too. Heated seat and 37°C outside?
And a notepad by the toilet bowl??? *laughing*
Nice touch. Maybe many ideas and inspirations do pop while something else is popping out! Let me try...
SEE... see… I knew I still have it. *tongue sticking out*
My first car’s Season Parking tickets and road tax.
It was a Charade (I think)!
Color? Can’t remember but recall it’s ugly.
Who cares? The car only costs me one grand.
EM4528R -Car plate number is so retro.
Wow, it is almost nine years. Ok, bin.
Thousands of attendees hence the organizer will not be able to offer a menu with variables.
At a black-tie event like this, it is always best to turn vegetarian.
My second time in Morton’s and this time are for a birthday dinner.
When customers call to make reservation, it is Morton’s practice to ask if there is any special event for that night. So they do know the dinner is for a birthday celebration.
The table we are sat is lightly decorated with sparkly bits casually scattered. Then came the menu and woo hoo... it has personalized greetings on it!
Impressive right?
I know it is easy to add extra prints on the menu but I am impressed because Morton’s is so well-known and popular, they do not have to be so thoughtful on personalized menu. It’s taking an extra mile above the tip top service.
Inspired… I start decorating the bun…
… and the butter… with the sparkly bits and my creativity.
Cozy dinner – small group, great food, good wine… … and my cutey cute bag.
yay… YAY… Yay yay YAY… Yeah… *hopping around like a mad woman*
Never thought I’ll own a Mini one day. I always think that Mini is way too small for me. (Still TOO SMALL!) You see... I like to keep my books, roller blades and rackets etc in the car. Now I can't contemplate picking up golf anymore. Where am I going to leave the golf bag?
Well... I need to change my car for a long time but just didn’t do it. Have toyed with the idea for two years. Yes, whole two years!
... Then I am convinced to change to a Mini.
... Not just a normal Mini but a Mini Cooper S.
... Not just a Mini Cooper S but a CONVERTIBLE Mini Cooper S.
Am I crazy or what?
I am now a proud owner of a super powerful Mini with a retractable roof!!!
ZIP, zip, zipping away…
Let's Mini!
PS: Yes, have airbrushed the number plate away. So none of you can buy 4-D. Hehehee..
