About two months back, Malaysia Airlines decided to do an upcoming feature about the E & O (Eastern and Oriental) Hotel where I work, and surprise, surprise, they wanted to interview me. So I dutifully turn up at the hotel for the interview—that was the easy part. It was over in half an hour. Then, I had to play and pose at the piano for a photo shoot. I don’t mind having my picture taken, and the photographer was very patient. But he must have taken hundreds of photographs. I set and played for about 45 minutes, and he was still at it! Nevertheless, I remained poised until he said he was done. Thank you, sir.
And I forgot about this interview thingy. Until I had a text message from my sister-in-law who was clamoring excitedly that my photo was in the June 2009 issue of Malaysia Airlines’ Going Places in-flight magazine, and would I like a copy? Of course I would (since then I’ve requested for additional copies) The feature about the E & O Hotel was wonderfully done, and the photography was immaculate. The photographer certainly made me look good too, LOL.
A big thank you to Malaysia Airlines for featuring me in their esteemed magazine. I am truly honored.
FYI Malaysia Airlines flies from Kuala Lumpur to Los Angeles several times a week. I’d love to go back to the US for a visit, but the airfare is just beyond my budget for now—sigh.
Well now you’re famous!! That’s really very cool.
Well yeah, but I wish I could be rich and famous at the same time, Doris!
Define “rich”…..I think you are in so many ways…..like friendship, health, music, talent, etc. I will be flying MAS to KL early next month and I hope to pick up a copy of the inflight Mag with your article.
“Rich” as in money, moolah, dollars, greenbacks, etc. Hence the piggy bank *sigh*
Hey Philip, it’s not a good time to travel now anyway. H1N1 alert, remember?
