Flying is only lovely with them around

I am really quite lucky to be rostered with my batchies, and aso fortunate that we managed to change flights to do togther. Nothing beats having a companion in a foreign country, and someone who chats with u to bed.

My 2nd flight with Jo after hkg sfo. She's so lame n funny. really miss those crazy times in hongkong with her. this time round was a jarkata night stop. ok very outdated. this was in Jan.


us @ the hotel lobby. Just came back from a powerful 2 hrs javanese massage.


Our candlelight dinner @ the room. Shiok nasi goreng.

The next day was a link flight to London..

Gloucester station


We bought our tics for Les miserables for abt 27 pounds. quite a gd deal. I hate to say , but i dozed off abt half e play. was not too bad, but maybe slightly draggy. quite tired by the time we reached e theatre. the subway broke down midway and we had to rush to gt a cab which was stuck in a jam. was a frantic rush.
Jo said" wah lau, i rather pay to sleep inside than we missed half e play" . luckily we were allowed to enter after 10 mins into e show but indeed she slept inside.whahaha.


us walking ard convent garden. sum cute t shirt shop n dat's london map bhind us.


these r real life models with bra cups from A-DD @ La senza. damn cool. n cute A model is damn chio.. they have perfect n flawless skin.slurp...

And for my manchester flight in feb. just as i thought i gonna have a boring day alone shopping, i saw audrey who touched down when i was going for breakfast @ the hotel. My mood was immediately lifted!! She damn power, nvr sleep a wink after 14 hours of flight and joined me for breakfast n shoppin right after washing up.



need i say more, our bargain buys in primark @ manchester.


Beautiful roses i spotted selling in marks n spencer.


n both of us bought a hello kitty PJs for 5 pounds @ a sale at H&M. damn cute n cheap.whaha. original price is 15 pounds can.

My next long flight is London again in Mar. Was rostered with one of Lil Steph's best friend Jasmine. Steph was so nice to change over to our flight.

Somehow or rather, we managed to squeeze 3 in a room very comfortably with our wacky ideas.had a good few hours of sleep b4 we head to Bayswater for good Ducky.

Heard the chef from four seasons moved to Gold mine, so we had our duckie their since they have complimentary soup too. yum yum.
1st day was short cos everywhere closes early on a sunday night. last stop was La senza where we had some gd buys.
all 3 of us bought the scent bag in e form of a bra..so cute man. n little steph brought her piggy for all her long flights. so sweet right but i really wonder how she squeezed it in.
2nd day was breakfast @ the hotel for 6.5 pounds. nt too bad for UK pricing.


Getting ready to cheong Primark and buy ticks.A proof that woman always apply makeup with her mouth open.wahhaha.
All set!
London subway with Jasmine.

buying last min tics @ leicester Square. Wanted to catch Phatom of the opera as recommended by Jo. Tics was 41 pounds, pretty much more ex compared to les mis but was all worth it.

Steph n me bought the same coat for a real real bargain. mine's shocking pink n hers electric blue.

We brighten up your lives.ha.


Phatom of the opera was awesome!!! I m so proud . i didnt fall asleep at all!!!but i know the 2 young gals din like it as much, mayb they r still too young for it.whaha.anyway, i loved the stage effects to bits. the sudden appearance of the phatom, the rowing of the boat across the stage was so real and e falling chandelier. The backdrop was damn good too!! I enjoyed myself a lot for this musical. Ok my next london, i want to catch Dirty dancing on stage. Shall search for the movie to watch 1st.


Piccadily circus @ night.
Right after London, i changed away 2 weeks of my roster just to meet my darling cactus in tokyo ( they r on ski trip to hokkaido, shiok rite?) , so i ended up doing male.. with nurin!!!
Maldives 16 mar
This is the newly renovated cosy room
VS
the chalet look alike room in Oct 06 when i was there.
talking about maldives, shall review my thots of my 1st visit there. we need to take a boat from the airport to the resort. upon reaching i saw schools of fishes in the crisp clear water. i was so so so exhilarated. probably one of the most beautiful sight i've seen. 2nd to niagara falls now if u ask me.

There were a lot of sharks at the shallow water last time. this time round i only spotted 1 or 2.


Super beautiful blend of the blues... ok besides that, i was a lot slimmer then.pui.. I MUST GO ON DIET!
This is now, have no idea why my lens was so misty. ha my pose is so manly.Still beautiful water but weather nt as sunny, was a cloudy day.

Me n nurin..


Some passer by spotted us trying to capture ourselves by timer so he offered to shoot us.
Our ugly pose b4 we start jumping.


hahaah, still very ugly.


Along the resort.holiday mood.

Serenity.

Check the fishes out!!

After snorkelling, we went to feed the fishes.

Close up view... got blue and grey ones. Snorkelling is a must must there, there are so so many marine fishes around the beautiful corals. n yes nemos too..hmm i would have enjoyed myself more if i wasnt that afraid of sharks.

Amsterdam 30Jan-2feb

This post is super outdated. been almost 2 mths since i came back from amsterdam. bits by bits i managed to finish this post in like 2 weeks.whaha.

Since it's a new station, i have to blog abt it b4 i can't even remember how the place looks like.


Central station



Eh i think this is Dam's square where we met for the free walking tour. u can give any amt of TIPs at the end of the tour.

Can check out this website if u r goin europe cos they provide free walking tours for london, paris n more.


a group photo taken from their website.

Royal palace

the houses are leaning towards each other.



Noticed the hooks on top of the houses? They are used for moving furnitures into the houses through the windows. most of the houses have narrow and winding stairway that is almost impossible to move any furniture up the stairs.

The city is significantly gridded with canals
A sneak preview of the red light districts.

Interestingly, most of the prositutes are very big sized.haha. n they have their own glass window with a pretty little room. if the curtains are drawn, u know they r havin business in there.


The jewish quarters.

Check this out!! along e red light district area.
Stopped by for some really succulent mushrooms.yummy.
Apparently this dark house has some history which i cant remember after 2 months.whaha

The high end shopping that looks a bit like harrods london.



Spot the red house in between. That's the narrowest house in amsterdam.interesting uh?

The last stop of the tour was Anne Frank House. Really amazed by how they hide the house up and survived there for quite some time. Being a Jew in the ancient times is really very tough. Poor thing.

Leaving Anne Frank hse with heavy downpour.

yeap rump steak for dinner.
Next day was a day tour to Zaanse Schans and Edam town.
Holland clogs!
The mills of holland

My gigantic clogs

Town of Edam
e Residents are very supportive of their culture. 2 old wooden clogs at the doorsteps. so cute.


Pretty little edam town.

My story telling pics


Nice little town by the sea


Very fresh fish for lunch.


My last stop was the sex museum.
That's really how the glass window along red light looks like..but without the guy of cos.


Ha, that's pretty much how they look like inside the glass panels.

Have u seen anything longer and bigger than this???

An ancient Japanese painting. Quite scary.

Opps..
Entrance of the museum.

Y do they make fries in lab coat?hahah

Thick hot fries on a cold day......

Lastly, the legendary magic mushrooms that will bring u to wonderland...zoom in for the interesting descriptions.
