Cooking session with Ronnie Johnsen & David May

the title caught ur attention eh? well..read further...


2nd day at DoubleTree, rise and shine..after all that really yummylicious breakfast buffet at Makan Kitchen, I decided to go back to hotel room before heading to work as I forgot something. While walking towards the room at the corridor, I could hear voices of an English speaking gentleman..then i got shocked to bump into Vladimir Smicer and Patrik Berger. I quickly asked Mr Patrik,may i have a picture with the both of you...and with great smile early in the morning, while carrying their golf club, they just said sure. 
OMG--its Patrik Berger & Vlamidir Smicer
We chatted a little while before waving goodbye...i swore that i saw the most mesmerizing blue eyes ever while talking to Smicer..omg..it was like the color of the ocean. Then off from my dreamland and went to work. I took ½ day leave coz later at 230pm , B will be cooking with the Masters Footballers at Makan Kitchen with the help of their chef. The session will be aired on Astro Awani while the interview article should be published somewhere that week.
½ day past so fast. And then we were waiting at Makan Kitchen 215pm.  After some brief introduction by the Manager of DoubleTree and the PIC for the contest winners, Ms Chin Yee. The cooking session started just fine with rb having the chance of his lifetime to cook with Ronnie Johnsen and David May, Chef Azri was pleased to help them on how to cook the roti jala. For the record, no one was hurt or harmed during the cooking session. LOL

Ronnie -cooking with love
Sir Bryan Robson
With Ronnie JOhnsen again..hehee..he is super friendly down to earth guy
Jeff Winter...being himself..hahaa
There, Joshua and I managed to snap some photos with the rest such as Sir Bryan Robson, Vic Anderson, & Jeff Winter.

Later, we (the guests of the winners) were served some light refreshment. Finally got the chance to meet one of the emenang member, Zufino and his wife, Erna. But it turned out to be both Erna and I was the one chatting all the way as new found friends..ahaks...Then we just chilled at the Lobby to hopefully for some photo opportunity...hehehee...All those wait, finally managed to meet Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Stephane Henchoz and few others.

That night, while the EPL Masters Footballers are having their Gala dinner, we went to swimming pool for some splashing..and swimming. Tomorrow will be our last day here...:( and but didn’t managed to meet Asprilla..well...maybe next time..So the next morning, after breakfast, B left earlier as he need to work, Me and Joshua check out at 12pm. And while we were snapping some photos at the entrance of Double Tree, we thought we saw a glimpse of Asprilla..and guess what , it was really him. Without further ado, as he walked towards the taxi stand, finally  my mission completed...ahaks.. Thank you B & DoubleTree KL for the opportunity, it certainly going to be something that i'll cherished in my life...I’ve met the legends and it was simply one of the best weekend stay.

EPL Masters Footballers Malaysia Cup 2011

A great thanks to Doubletree by Hilton, KL. B won under the Cooking with Masters Footballers contest at their FB. And the welcome kit prizes includes 2 tickets to watch the EPL Masters Footballers Malaysia Cup at Putra Stadium Bkt Jalil, 2 nights stay at DoubleTree and a lifetime chance to cook with the Masters Footballers. Joshua tagged along and i could see from his face, he was one of the happiest boy in the world that day. With a mission of getting our Jabulani to be decorated by all their signatures, we got struck by the football craze vibe that weekend. I am officially an EPL enthusiast starting from today! hehehee...anyway as we checked in at DoubleTree, we were handed 3 of the signature chocolate chip cookies that was warm and smells good.

Complimentary
Later we head to Bukit Jalil for our first match where our Malaysian team showed their skills in the pitch with among others are the EPL legends from former ManU, Liverpool and EPL All Stars clubs. Massive crowd, crazy fans, devil red shirts were planted on each seats supporting their favorite man.
In the Putra Stadium
All 4 teams
Getting Started
We were cheering for Malaysia and ManU.ahaks...Honestly i only get to know their names/faces by googling them the night before. As i watched them played,i was wondering whether are they really over 40/50 years? coz they really dont look like one. i meant look at their stamina and fitness level really put shame to a lot of teens players our there. Their spirit just amazed me.
Finally the champion was crown to the EPL All Stars.
EPL All Stars won at the end..Kudos!
Great match with our Malaysian team lead by Zainal Abidin Hassan still keeps us sway with his move..well...literally. Joshua managed to get Steve McManaman as the 1st person to sign on the Jabulani. And my autograph book too..How cool is that? hehee
Yeah..1st signature..from Steven McManaman
Then off we went for dinner at Bukit Bintang before coming back to Doubletree. Some of the players were relaxing at the Axis Lounge. So we managed to snap with some of the them and get the Jabulani signed. We waited next to the lift for some signture & the photo opportunity 'hunting' begun. It was worth the wait. The fact that most of the players are left handed somehow created the chemistry and stories between us as of being one.
The best and highlight of the day was when Clayton Blackmore came to us and hand over  2 of his jersey. WOW...we were honoured and must have been really lucky. Thank you Blackmore! 
Everyone seems to be so super friendly and nice, tall and good looking. But the only setback was taking picture with Andy Cole. He was a little rude and wasn't pleased ..oh well maybe because he was also drunk. LOL. Speaking wish, he however instantly will give his best smirk when the camera start snapping.

Then we went up to refresh ourselves before going down to the lounge for some photo opportunities.
