Wow, after a long while. I havent had the chance to sit down and spend a free day on the internet. Am now in New Zealand, the weather is so cold and I dun have a pair of shoes that keeps my feet warm! Neh neh. And my colleagues asked me to join them for ski-ing. how can.
So I took some time planning what I should do for tomorrow. Hot-air Ballooning - pick up is at 5am about $200, Whale Watching - pick up at around that time, $250. The 2nd option definitely entices me, BUT, i took a 4hrs nap and now it's too late to book!

Great! Firstly, i prayed for this trip to be a resting trip for me. Secondly, both are ex, further more, it exclude meals. Ahahah.

I havent really rested since last Monday, but thought it was all worth while as I had a great company in Ams, well-spent weekends with mel@dimsum (mango puree prawn fritters, heavenly cheng teng), Short time@hockseng, church n mama's day(ON)sun. Oh and i actually had my fair share of fun deciding for sis whether she shld get the light beige pink long chomp. and not to forget, a pre-packed soup ingredients into kelly's mailbox. (Rmb to retrieve it when you see this).

Back on Thursday!

MEL: i finally found something that you might like - Arnott's Cheddar Biscuits.

Unexpectedly, on this trip, my favourite vegetable turn out into some blended-spinach (it’s like their favourite here), yucks. That pumpkin soup which I always skip is simply souperd and wholesome. That waffle, is too good to miss. They use this Cream (the FAT that rises to the top of WHOLE milk), strawberries, chocolate fudge. SO FAT-LOADED.SOGOOD.

the city of Luzern

Luzern. A town of Switzerland

This just doesn't look like Batam! For a moment I thought my photograhpy skill has improve by a great heap. Yup, here you go, Batam View Resort.

I'm an addict to breakfast 2D1N + breakfast + land & sea transfer = $135

(with the above, you get a deluxe seaview room like ours too!)

臺北市

Taipei is a very lively nation. That of course is displayed in the high spirited politicians who usually exchange blows during their meetings. Haha. Anyway, you eat well and stay good here. Language doesn’t cast a problem because just by playing up a little on the Taiwanese accent, you can pass off as a local. Food however is a problem. There’s just too many to choose from.

Ah Zhong Mian Xian, Shi Lin Sheng Jian Bao, Zhen Zhu Nine Cha, Jian Dan San Wen Zhi, XXL Ji Pa, Leng Mian.
I will be back to Taipei next month, and hopefully I have the time and company to explore the quieter side of Taipei. Jiufen and Beitou.

大阪市

My first visit to Japan landed me here. Perhaps it’s the feeling it gives in contrast to what I have read over the internet, it is more of an historical conurbation than a metropolitan city. The Osaka palace is a place of tranquility. Get a beer and a box of huge sized Takoyaki, and you are all ready to sit under the cherry blossoms tree for a good afternoon.
Apart from that, Osaka took every part of a Japanese culture and you can see this as you make your way through the city – Vending Machines.
Shop spaces are leased for a whole purpose of building Vending machines in it. You will see a Ramen stall tend by a cook, and he refuse to take orders, because, right outside the stall stands a Vending Machine!
