Leaped and Landed

I'm back from my Eastern Europe Holiday~~~~

Funny i actually feel more excited coming back than going away. I know this trip may be considered to-die-for for many but call me insane....  i miss Jonathan Ang more (:


You should have already seen some of the photos I've uploaded during our trip. All snowy and pretty but the initial day was nothing but disgruntled explitives and rants, thanks to the inadequacies of a certain airline... our luggages (all 4 'cept for Martin's ---you lucky shit) were MISSING.


Knowing me, how can i shut up? I didn't. And coupled with the fact that i'm the odd one out, you can imagine the face. hahhahahahaa... i can be such a pain at times i can't even stand myself.


Fast forward our itinerary in 12 days PRAGUE > VIENNA > ZAGREB > FRANKFURT...... too much of the cold and parma ham is overkill. Also, i need to emphasize my hatred for sparkling water. I just need PURE DRINKING WATER. less the gas and bubbles... I'm no Mariah Carey..i don't demand Evian. I just need normal laymen drinking water! k...enough of the rants (:




Back home, it's 4 days of pure bliss..or should i say a sneak peak to "married life" was inexplicable from the moment i touched down. Those are the times you wish would last forever, not a two thousand dollars label tote.

Selina taking on Bee in arm wrestling... totally hilarious.

(Bee won Lois, Lois won Selina, Selina won Liz, I won Liz too. lol.)

Still very much jet-lagged for the week and totally pressed for time on last minute christmas shopping.

I swore the whole year through never to end up in a mad rush again yet here i am... RUSHING. mostly settled though, but still a few more here and there.... I'm. so. tired. Darn tired.

21.12.10

View from up the top is truly a sight to behold... forget about the Mazzenine at the Swissotel or Fullteron (:

A totally joyous occasion, lots of laughter.. fun and home-made mini cheesecakes..
Also, I Finally met Justin... Bee's younger Bro. and what a fine young gentlemen he is (:

...next stop, LAPLAND!!!!



Chasing snow

I have officially one and a half day left before departure and i haven't even get down to packing yet. I stepped out from my room this morning to find this grosteque sight of winter wear stacked (thrown, rather) all over the sofa and i felt sick in the stomach right away...i hate packing. On top of that, i'm already down with flu and was running a slight fever since last night. Napping in time-capsule the night before did help a bit, but this morning was hell again when i woke up... my throat is still itching badly. And the image of my mum's sickly, miserable face last December came to mind.... not funny at all man. She was literally ailing throughout the entire Europe tour.

Bad choice to have Macs and Caramel Frap plus yogurt before the trip. I don't know what made me crave for those wicked stuff but I HAD THEM all....and I'm paying for it now.

Somehow i'm not beaming over the trip this time, maybe cus I'll be missing B really badly. Not seeing him for a few days is bad enough.... now ELEVEN freaking days! this is gonna be pure torture for the both of us. But it's okay, B... bearbear is gonna keep you company (: and i'm so looking forward to the 6pecs when i get back ;) LOL.

On a positive note, I think this trip is gonna be an awesome one cus we won't be rushing for time or whatever... We won't have to observe inhumane meeting timings just to keep in schedule. NO choping of bus seats (so unglam but necessary when you're in tour groups)... I get to thoroughly dry my hair to perfection each morning (very important. you don't wana look cui in photos when you've flewn halfway round the world to someplace you might never visit again)...and the list goes on..

Besides the very practical stuff, Prague is b-eau-ti-ful. You know what's the icing on the cake? It's the highly-raved Christmas markets they have there. Can you imagine a gazillion fairy lights draped everywhere?? ooooooh!!! the thought of it is already making me squirm in excitement!!! :D  and there's the medieval gothic structures it's known for.. i mad love those cus they remind me of my literature books (: I love visiting churches and castles...strolling across bridges and all.... lovely (:

I guess nothing beats a winter holiday in Europe. yesss...I'm counting my lucky stars everyday for these trips (:

Even so, i think it's still wise to manage our expectations a little bit this time round. We're very much on our own cus there's no tour guide. The weather is much more biting than the last Europe trip we had with temperatures ranging from 3Degrees to -1 or lower :/ We won't have a coach waiting for us to hide from the cold. We're gonna do a lot of walking in snow.. I hope the food won't come as a surprise for us either. I need REAL food. Basically, the experience is gonna be novel.

Chances are, i think the place is gonna look like this. everywhere.

Our general Itinerary as follows:

5th Dec SIN to FRANKFURT > connecting flight to PRAGUE.

5th Dec ~ 9th Dec - PRAGUE

9th Dec ~ 12th - Vienna, Austria (may change)

12th Dec ~ 14th Dec - Frankfurt, Germany

OH!! I Need to get gloves!!!!

 

Till then, guess this will be my last post before I go (: Wish me luck!
