Long Holiday
Went on my year end holiday from 18 Dec 2009 till 03 Jan 2010…
First went Barcelona from 18 Dec till 21 Dec 2009, nearly had a bad experience on our arrival into the city… but shall not elaborate lor, only we 4 will know… basically we turn VERY paranoid after the experience… LoL
Reach our hotel like 2hours past our estimated time of arrival and it is more like a service apartment… we had 2 bedrooms, 1 living (with balcony) / dining room, 1 kitchen and 1 bathroom… it cost euros 110 for quad shared, so basically it is quite cheap mah, works out to be less than S$60 per person / night…
It was quite comfortable during our stay there, and we did save a lot on food because we have kitchen and we can cook… Spaghetti, Maggie Noodles, Pizza (ready to cook kind)… and we have a supermarket just down the road, only thing was no internet connection, but there is a internet café just 5mins walk away… Haha
Spanish guys on the streets not really very handsome leh… Maybe not in Barcelona bah… LoL
Shopping was quite ok, but we walk a lot and got lost a lot of times because their streets are very hard to understand and navigate if you do not understand the concept… LoL
Remember the ‘Bruc’ street … Haha, we keep walking back to this street no matter how sure we are and in the end we got lost again !!!
The bad news was Big Freeze over Europe happened at this time of the year, we were worried that we couldn’t fly out of Barcelona to Paris … it was also at the same time we heard about the breakdown of Eurostar…
On the day prior to leaving Barcelona, weather seems ok except rainy… managed to leave Barcelona safety and was on time departure too… We were in Paris on 21 Dec night till 23 Dec evening…
Reach Paris, it was a lot COLDER than we expected !!! nevertheless, the hotel was kind of hard to locate… we got lost for awhile while dragging our heavy luggage…
Finally found our hotel, were allocated to the top floor, our quad room is like the attic… Haha, imperfection was some Caucasian asked “whether can we have 1 night together?” I sort of gave him a “What the crap are you talking about, I don’t understand” look… Moreover, he is fat and ugly… LoL
We save on our 1st night dinner by eating CUP NOODLES … hot soup is most desirable when you are feel cold, our room radiator doesn’t seems to work well but otherwise it is a nice and spacious room…
Next day was a busy day, because we need to squeeze in sightseeing plus shopping in 1 day… was quite happy to shopped in the LV flagship shop, but I’m buying on behalf, so I’m not spending my own money…
Saw Eiffel Tower which glitter for 15mins at every hour, it was a beautiful sight… so romantic but we were too cold to fully enjoyed it lah… haha
It was also at Paris where I bought a lot of Longchamps items, helping friends and the service at the shop was BAD !!
We were suppose to leave Paris via Eurostar but at the time it seems impossible, so we were following the news everyday to be updated in case we need to make changes etc…
In the end, we had to make arrangements to leave Paris via Budget Air, frantically search for cheapest flights, in the end Ryanair came to our help… but the airport is so far away… no choice lah, cheapest liao, Euros 99 each exclude luggage costs lah, total cost was Euros 511 for 4 of us… Ryanair is very inflexible on their baggage weight, each luggage cannot weight more than 15kg and cannot be accumulate together even though we 4 are travelling as a group… but whatever lah… the flight was very efficient because there were only 14 of us on the plane… it was almost like a premier Budget flight… LoL
I guess most people would rather wait for the Eurostar but for us if we were waited for another night, more losses even though can claim travel insurance but our plans on the 24th would all be wasted and cannot be refunded…
We could leave on Eurostar, but it had to be a day later and running on limited service, so there is no guarantee that even though you got tickets you can leave on-time… I guess it was a first time for such a major incident to Eurostar Management that they do not know how to handle the situation…
Already made claims to travel insurance for the change of plans, hope to get reimburse… haiz
We were at the budget terminal quite early and just sat there to wait for our boarding time lor… the airport has nothing much to see lah, bought a gossip magazine to read, napped for awhile then eat our packed sandwich (leftovers from breakfast) while waiting lor… and we realized that people all over the world are kiasus… Haha
Finally reached London, when our plane landed they broadcast a jingle that announced we arrived on time… so cute… saw snow on the ground while leaving the remote airport to City area, can’t wait to see Fiona too…
Although she was back in sg for 2 weeks, and I met her for about 3 days but I still missed her leh… with this BF I get to see her more and go out more often than last time… LoL
I feel so much better when we are in London, because we can understand the language and staying at Onn & Fiona’s place makes it like homecoming…
Well, I slept on the couch throughout the trip but no complains because it gets warm with my body heat although I used a thin blanket, I dun feel the coldness too badly except my feet lah, I get “cold feet” haha
Throughout the trip, I wake up the first… because I want to bathe in the morning before I go out.. and the 3 gals sure missed hearing the water running every morning… Haha, I missed the snores, the grinding of teeth etc
Btw, Christmas in London is like our CNY… every attraction is closed and it’s like a dead town … Haha
We had a steamboat dinner on Xmas day… and let me tell you, Fiona can cook le… and it taste not bad you know… well you just have to learn to cook when overseas bah… eating outside (especially in London) is too costly …
Hmmm, London would be a nice place to stay if not for the expensive-ness… it is cooling (or cold) throughout the year, friendly people and it is a city… Haha
Well, me and Huiquan loves soccer so that’s another plus point… this time around went to Chelsea FC for stadium tour (again), Old Trafford (Man Utd) outside + megastore, Anfield (Liverpool FC) for stadium tour and last time went to Arsenal (reluctantly) outside + megastore….
Chelsea dressing rooms + stadium is considered 5stars to Anfield wor… because Boss got money to renovate also lah… LoL… we saw people for all over the world there, and 2 Italians caught Gina’s eye, another Italian (Naples) caught my eye, his attire is so cute lor … awwwww, I fee like a paparazzi when I took their pictures secretly… LoL
Man Utd looks nice too, it is huge lah… I guess it should be 5stars too… Arsenal is more tricky, you have to walk towards the stadium before you can feel the impact of the new stadium… :)
Another point, shopping in London is superb… they have many shops plus they are having WINTER SALES !! where you can get things at 3pounds… Can SG followed that, like S$5 for a Mango tshirt… Haha
We shopped at least in 3 different H&M in London… can you imagine our craziness… :D
Went to Bicester Village (Factory Outlet) near Oxford (30mins by Bus) for shopping too, bought a Burberry Top at 70% discount… etc … spending spree there… Gawd should have bought more if not considering the weight of my luggage and pocket lah… LoL
Oh, we went to a New Year’s Eve party… Onn, Fiona, Me & Gina went… the 2 youngsters decided not to go because each tickets is about 50 pounds… RAH~ but it was not bad lah, it just not our kind of music but then it was still fun… seeing the Indian lady dance (with legs lifted high and moving around) beside us… girls dressed skimpily and running in the cold… guys that dressed up to party, dressed up as in like Halloween without the ghastly attire… there are people that dressed with Alfros wigs, Pirates Attire, “superman-like” outfits and animals like Alligator, Tiger etc… LoL
We took pictures with a few of them but we couldn’t locate the animals then… so sad !! Haha
We were at the O2 stadium (MOS Arena NYE party) … it is like our Indoor Stadium organizing a Rave party, their DJs are ok only but nevertheless it was FUN !!!
We also went for a Ghost Bus Tour, where they tell us details of gruesome events that happened before at different places, Demon of Fleet Street (Sweeny Todd), beheading of King / Queen etc… and they were role acting, a Bus Conductor and a Safety Inspector… It was a fun experience …
Time flies lah, soon it was time to pack up and prepare to go home… Onn and Fiona sent us to the crowded Underground station, it is sad to leave lah… controlled myself lor and Fiona looks like wanna cry, also dunno when will see her again, hopefully in 2010 bah… anyway she have to be back in Jan 2011 so maybe not…
Reach SG, do not feel relief to be back home… LoL, although sometimes on Holidays you wished to be home… but I miss London… till today, my soul hasn’t return to me, it is still floating around in London…
Haha, hope it come back soon !!! In the meantime, shall start planning ahead for another trip, this time round I wanna go Cambodia but have to find travelling Khakis first …

emo...
Kind of depressing for myself… I have no target for any travel plans this year… it is going to be April soon, yet I have no idea on where would my travel destination for this year…
I guess the only place I’m interested now is Cambodia, since plans with gang has been cancelled, I shall aim for December to go to Cambodia bah… hopefully by then I will have enough traveling khakis…
So far, I only got plans to go Genting like next week, and a cruise in May then nothing specific liao…
And what's worse, I'm thinking of buying a Coach Sling Pouch... But I'm resisting the thought very badly because I spent like $1k+ in March....
Anyway, I don’t think I have the moolah to go lots of traveling this year… Haiz, RECESSION!!!

Tokyo Is Fun
The Japan population is huge lor; approximately 120million, which 30million are in Tokyo...
I never did realized that Tokyo is really so fun... With the cool weather, polite citizens, great food and handsome guys... I feel like staying there permanently (but minus the expensive lifestyle lah).
Day One is our "GET TIRED" day... We were running low on Battery due to insufficient sleep on the night plane... I fell asleep while watching some program on board, and woke up to the beautiful sunrise just outside our little window...
SUNRISE TIME
A boat ride on Sumida River was our first item, and actually I think it's a touristy trap... LoL, I suggest it can be missed...
From the Hinode Pier (the destination of the boat ride), it is off to Happy Dogs Cruise for the boat ride to Odaiba, where you can find Statue of Liberty and Fuji TV...
You can do some shopping there too...
STATUE OF LIBERTY
FUJI TV
After Odaiba, evening time is for Roppongi... The latest IN place to be at... Where you can easily find Louis Vuitton and also can see the "sister" of Eiffel Tower, The Tokyo Tower...
LOUIS VUITTON

We had to return back to our Hotel early as we are running LOW on energy...
Day Two - "GET LOST" Day
Fresh and up early for Tsujiki FIsh Market, but alas luck not on our side, it was CLOSED on Sunday...
So we moved on to our next destination... St Mary Cathedral... We got lost due to wrong directions... Finally after walking past many of the expensive landed housings, we managed to locate the Church...
WELCOME TO MY "HOUSE"
Arriving at our "Architectural" attraction... It's really a beauty, my photos don't do justice...
AT THE CHURCH
WITH THE CHURCH BELLS
ME INSIDE THE CHURCH
We had to leave after 30minutes at the Church, they have masses on Sunday anyway... So it's off to Ginza for SHOPPING during the Afternoon and Shibuya at Night!!! We got lost again at Shibuya, the train station is SUPER CONFUSING...
PURCHASES FROM GINZA
Harajuku closed early at 8+, and it was a mission to find KiddyLand and they closed at 9pm, hence it was an early night for us too...
Day Three - GET "HIGH AND COLD" day
Today it is our day trip out to Hakone and Mount Fuji... We could go all the way to 5th Station, the highest point for transportation and during autumn... Only in Summer, people are allowed to go mountain climbing...

Tokyo 7 days More
Haven not been updating, not because I do not have time to surf the net...
Because I'm busy researching online for my coming Tokyo trip... I am very proud of myself, because I managed to come up with a plan... together with maps and trains stations details k...
LoL, train rides in Tokyo is a mean feat lah... Just look at their subway map you will get confused... But lucky managed to find a website that you entered the starting station and destination, they will churn out the route...
But you will have to find out the nearest train station at your destination before you can expand the plan... So first of all was to plan what attractions we planned to see and do...
If you guys are interested in my plan, click here
So waiting for my cousin to vet through and see if anything she wants to improve... Oh, 7 days more... I'm excited...
And I'm grateful to Fiona who helped me read some Japanese Text... LoL, she is going to London for 12days... Gonna miss her... (",)v

Eyes Blured
from seeing all the airplanes timing, pricing etc...
now only left air tickets harder to confirm... We are thinking of taking Budget Air from Rome to Paris instead of the Overnight Train and from Paris to London instead of Eurostar...
but due to the period is boxing day (26 dec) so timing is harder to estimated, because alot of services are not operating on that day... Haiz, but wants to be in London on that day, because Chelsea got match on that day, couldn't be there earlier (i.e 25 Dec) because no flights / trains etc... unless we can try expensive plane like BA?? Hmmm, not a bad idea hor... maybe check out the pricing first...
hopefully by end of next month we can finalise everything... because most services only can booked 12 weeks in advance... hopefully in the end, we only will spend less than $3k for the air tickets, accommodation (excl expenses lah)

The Sirocco
It was our first Fine Dining experience in Bangkok... It has such a nice ambience, it was designed by a friend of my boss and won a few design awards...
Unfortunately it rained, hence we are seated inside the Dome instead...

I’m back from Bangkok…
It has been a great trip (of shopping and eating)… Although was chopped like a carrot on the first night there, the seafood dinner was too expensive, recommended by the cab driver that send us to the Hotel… but it is very funny that the next cab driver that sends us to the Restaurant used to work in Singapore… LoL
Cabbies are still mostly touting in Bangkok… They Love Farangs (Tourists in Thai), because they can chopped us like carrots when we take their cabs… they tend to charge double than using Meter…
Went to Patpong at night, and saw my first “Thai Girls” show… very illegal and disgusting anyway… And “sort of” feel threatened in the end, paid up and leave the dodgy place fast…
Had a first “being surrounded by many Thai Chinese males” trying to pull us into the “Gogo Boys Clubs” experience, managed to peek and see some guys in “CK look-alikes White Undies” doing Pole Dancing while escaping from the alley… Was very irritated at first but after managing to dodge, it feels very funny that they keep telling us inside got “shuai ges (very handsome guys)”
Very sad that I did not buy the “Miu Miu” bag, it is very appealing but at Patpong sure more expensive than any other places… The first night ends at us going back to Hotel after seeing their seedy nightlife…
Did 2 days of shopping… Chatuchak Weekend Market, Platinum Mall, MBK, and a little of Pratunam Market...
First was Chatuchak Weekend Market on Saturday morning, and we only managed to complete like 1/3 of the Market only… And it is too warm and crowded to continue anyway… Managed to buy somethings there, and being a “seasoned traveler” in Bangkok, I brought along a sling bag for the purchases…
Next was Platinum Mall at Pratunam (opposite Amari Watergate), it has become very crowded now, think too touristy and places are more expensive that what it used to be… but I managed to buy more things there… We went back there on our last day for about 4hours of shopping…
Went MBK on the 3rd day, MBK used to be a must-go shopping center, now with Platinum Mall, I only brought 2 tops there… but found very cheap contact lens for my brother… Focus Dailies 30 lens (15 pairs) at 400Baht (S$16.50)… Actually wanted to buy their Thai Brand contacts, Daily lens; 10 lens (5 pairs) for 180Baht (S$7.50), but Fiona and bf managed to find this optical for the cheap contacts… they bought like at least 6 months supply… LoL
Local goodies at MBK is also a must if you have no chance to go Chinatown… cheaper than Airport lah, but definitely slightly more expensive than outside… I bought 800Baht (S$30+) worth of goodies…
Bought the "Silk Robe" for my sister at a Bargain (I hope so), the store owner quoted me 480Baht, but because I'm the first customer, he agreed to sell it to me at 350Baht, hope his sales has really been "lucky lucky" for the rest of the day...
The 2nd night was an expensive dinner at the ex-The State Tower (The Dome), now I think it is a luxury hotel named The Lebua.
We had fine dining at the 64th floor restaurant (The Sirocco), overlooking a pretty skyline of the Bangkok lights… it was kind of pity that it rained… so we had to shift inside after 5 minutes of sitting at our table… LoL, it is similar to our Equinox with nicer scenery and outdoor dining… I think we are the most under-dressed patrons for the night…
The Lemon Grilled Spring Chicken is very delicious, it wasn’t supposed to be so filling but I couldn’t finished my Main Course, maybe it was the free flow bread that filled me up more!! Dinner was around 1500baht for myself, thats works out to be S$60+, luckily due to the rain we have complimentary Champagne... 250ml of Evian costs approximate S$4 (380baht for 1000ml bottle)
Did 1hour of foot massage with Gina on the 2nd night (after the fine dining at Sirocco), it was very relaxing and clean… When washing my legs, the water is super hot think more than what our body is accustomed to (or maybe just because my feet is cold from the rain)… it feels hotter than the 42degrees Celsius from the Hot Spring in Taipei…. and the person who massages my legs is an 18-year-old male teenager (younger than my brother)… Haha, I feel so old, think he is shocked to hear that I’m ermm… 27 this year… LoL… He keep asking whether I’m cold, but due to the medicated oil (menthol feeling) they are using on our legs, I don’t feel cold…
Wanted to do another foot massage on the 3rd day but we had no chance to bath, and down to our last dollar, Gina and I had to leave for Singapore with aching legs…
Btw Hotel PJ Watergate is satisfactory, it is more of a superior tourist hotel (around 2.5 to 3 star rating), but I’m quite disappointed that they charge me 10baht when I asked the reception for helping me check out where is The Sirocco, and how to tell the Cabbie… Otherwise, they provide me with a clean room to sleep 5-6 hours at night and provide me with American Breakfast… Haha...
Super sian with Tiger Airways lah, delayed for 30mins... We were all sitting and waiting at the Boarding Area for around 1hour... So please expected delays if you are taking Tiger Airways...
I went with a 7kg baggage and returned with a total of 12kg baggage (2 bags)… LoL…I definitely missing the cheap clothes, food and massage already… Next time, I’m gonna do foot massage every day while in Bangkok… 1hour for 160Baht (that’s around S$6.50)…

Travel Plans
It always has been my interest to borrow travel guides from library and read up on countries that interest me...
Recently I have been reading travel guides: -
1. London
2. Paris
3. Rome
Yes, finally planning a first trip to European countries... London / Paris / Rome. Well, destination Rome is not a confirmation yet... now still checking on pricing, hotel, airfares etc...
Basically a self-book trip for London / Paris is approximately $2,500 SGD, then if want to include Rome there is an additional of $1,000 SGD... so now I'm sourcing for the best deals, best location for cheap hotels, and not to mention must be safe lah...
We 3 (siblings) are planning to go Europe together, wonder if my dad can take it anot... LoL... But as long we are careful, travel together should be safe lah!! And also Fiona might also be going London in Dec, so quite cool to meet a good friend there... LoL
I'm looking forward to a long holiday during the year end, cos last year, mine was cut short lor... and to come back was really an heartbreaking event lah... nevertheless, I'm alright now, just occasionally missing my mom, when I'm alone at home etc... I will turn up the volume of the TV, or listen to music with headphones, so as to distract myself... okok, no more...
Come 18 July, I'm going to BKK for a shopping trip with Gina and Fiona... LoL, Unexpected traveling buddies... well, due to Mr. & Mrs. Tang coming wedding, they are tightening their purse strings hence can't go with us... Hence after asking around and after "much difficulties", a BKK trip is booked...
Shopping here I come, mustn't spend unnecessary now...
Okok, I got to go bath and pack my things.. Because we are going to the beach... (Read: East Coast Park)... Cycling, Dinner + Romantic under the stars... LMAO
---update---
Back from East Coast Park... Cycling for 2hours, followed by dinner at Burger King... LoL... It was a nice Cousins bonding outing...
Till the next time... Wonder what will we organize next... any ideas couzzies...
