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.

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