Yah I'm typically late in posting this, due to changing PC and not processing the pictures all...and being a lazy bum etc etc.

Any way, a friend of ours invited us to the Autumn season launch party for Royal Selangor Pewter at their visitor center in Setapak.

So I thought why not, especially with the funky Turkish theme of the Autumn stuff, belly dancers and so on it should be interesting!

You can check out the Autumn Release here.

And well I have to say it rocked, it's one the best organised 'corporate' type parties I've been too with a seamless integration of the new ranges of pewter into the environment.

It was also sponsored by Bombay Sapphire, so plenty of booze! Nice funky disco house music too, beautifully lit, good food and nice atmosphere. It was a surprisingly enjoyable night out for a launch!

The food was great with kebabs, houmous and various Turkish type desserts.

And freshly sliced roast lamb with gravy....man that was good.

Royal Selangor Pewter - Aug 2007

Well seen as though some people asked, and well I was personally interested to see if I could convey my boredom here..

Here is a series of pictures intended to show the loneliness and boredom I feel here.

Can you feel it?

Here's my cubicle and my lifeline to the rest of the world, just to show cubicles do look the same all over the world..

Here's the appartment I stay in, my prison.

So after a gruelling trek through the desert and some pounding sand duning in the jeep we headed to camp for some dinner and entertainment, all inclusive in the package of course.

We were pretty starving by the time we got there as it's not recommended to eat before the sand duning as you'll most likely get naseous..so none of us had eaten since breakfast.

Out of 5 cars I think we saw someone sick in all of em..including ours

When we arrived we got to have a quick ride on a camel, only for 10-15 metres or so just to get a taste of the experience, it's really not very comfortable and seems quite high..much higher than a horse and a lot bumpier! The worse part is when the camel kneels down for you to get off...beware men you might lose your chance to have kids if you aren't prepared at this point.

Yes indeed, it's a bit of a ball crusher.

After that we all sat around the huge rug in the middle and munched on something like naan bread whilst smelling the BBQ we would be eating later.
