November last year was the month that we traveled quite frequently. There were trips to Beijing for baby check-up (the hospital where we live in doesn’t allow ultrasound checkup) – rugby match in Hongkong and IHG Conference in Shenzhen – which I so looked forward to since months and months ago. One of the nights during the conference was a themed night where the venue is a beautiful Spanish galleon, real size with all the intricate details. I made the time to browse through Amazon and bought a pair of pirate costumes for us.
(story about rugby match in Hongkong will be posted separately)
I could’ve gone on and on about this unique bar at Intercontinental Hotel in Shenzhen. The spanish theme party was quite tastefully done. The bar is actually a full size spanish ship about 28 meters high, featuring its very own brewery on the ground floor with all the details and decorations of a real galleon. I love it!!!
Setelah siangnya diadakan cooking class bareng dengan Chef Yan dari tv program “Yan Can Cook”, malem harinya disambung Pirate Night. Lagi-lagi kita berdua semangat banget berdandan dengan pernak-pernik full ala Captain Jack Sparrow (sementara party goers lainnya nyantei ajah….. biariiiinnnn). Sengaja pesen online dari Amazon pula, padahal pihak hotel juga ngasi complimentary pernak-pernik pirate - eye patch, skull scarf dan black choker.
Tapiiiiii saking si Mike di-make up lengkap ala Jack Sparrow dan eyeliner tebalnya – oef, awal acara dia masih tampil lengkap dengan goatee dan pedangnya – tapi menjelang pertengahan acara, gak jelas berpindah pemilik kemana – dia jadi mendadak ngetop. Wuidih! Hahahhahaha….. semua orang, terutama turis Jepang yang ketemu dia, pasti minta foto bareng. Malah ada yang tanya bisa pinjem topi & wignya segala. Ampun ya orang Jepang… gak bisa liat kostum, bawaannya pengen pinjem buat fotoan aja.
Sebetulnya acara malem ini sbg acara penutupan general manager conference nya Intercontinental Group, jadi banyak orang2 dari corporate dan teman kerja Mike, yang semakin malam kelakuannya semakin malu-maluin….. padahal GM atau VP Operations gitu loh. Ancuuuurrrrr, tapi seruuuuu!
Ah iya, ini foto terakhir bumil pakai costume party – sesudah itu ga ada party2an lagi, perut dah semakin membesar & baju ga muwat lagi. PS: di foto ga keliatan kan perut buncitnya?
