TICKETS

Hmmm...due to the public holiday and some technicalities, i'm do not have my confirmed tickets to my europe trip. Just pray all will be well on monday.

Yesterday and today, i did up draft schedules for my own portion of the trip. Found a good priced brand new hotel in a a prime part of copenhagen. (right next to the marriots and ascotts) but at half a price! hehehe...Haven't booked the rooms coz i need to at least confirm my main flights, buy tickets for the intercity flights then the rooms. Haiyo...so complicated.

Only haven't figured out which hotel to stay in amsterdam yet. Online reviews kinda all look abit =S but i want one near the central station coz i dun wanna lug my bags too far. Also, i plan to go see the world's largest flower auction at the crack of dawn ---6am! so the bus starts from the station...hehehe...

I've decided to give belgium a miss, after a better look at the schedule. I only have 3 free days, of which already one will be spent on the train from london to amsterdam. Only one option available for a sunday and it's from 8am to 4pm. By the time i'm settled, i need to poke my head out for the nightlife. =P maybe check out the late night museums..

That chunnel trip dunno how much it is, but estimates tell me its abotu S$350! flight is $170...how ironic.

My two interconnet flights sbout be about $170 each. one from berlin to lon, and amsterdam to copen.

MOOLAH SPENDING

Today made two trips to parkway with big sis.

ended up---completely unplanned, getting some airsterilizer the size of a tissue box. (supposed to be real good) cozt me $292. HAIZ....

sis shopping for one coz of her dog's skin and old health. For me i considered for health reasons, of my footie and the bad dust state of my room...hopefully it will help me zzz better and give my body good vibes for footie's sake.=)

I also bought today coz the guy was willing to give 10% discount for 2 units.

There goes my hp $$$ lor....aigooo, i need to get a proper hp before my trip.

Anyway, still hunting, and will still buy lah, just a more broke June month, having to pay for income tax, parking fine, and if i'm not worng Blooie's insurance will be up soon -- with road tax...raaar.

2nd trip to parkway was later tonight, when i realised forgot to buy spare batt for mum's camera in tiem for her trip (she leaving 0300h sunday) and need an 8 hour charge mah. So sis drive, i did the rushing. The cam has two batts already. Just that the 1st oen due for retirement lah.. it will be good for her trip..she going alaska and canada!


VISA

spent some time checking out which countries we need visas for. Just to make sure in case i decide to do something mad like dance between borders..hahaha...all is well for the general europe side...can save some moolah, unlike aussie need visa. humph.

WORLD CUP

my collague reminded me that i'll be in europe during world cup and asked me about eh time differnce! would i miss out?

Apparently it will start in the midst of the trip. And there is no time diff between south africa and europe! so it would be live matches, from europe time of sometimes, 4pm, 8.30pm and the occasional 1pm.

I looked to my sis last night and said:" you think it will be safe to travel during that time??? I mean, what if the germans riot?!"...my sis said.-- germans to do riot...AHHAHAHAHA...

But you knwo what i mean, i'm going to soccer crazy countries of england, germany and holland...ah dui. what if the team loses...but then, again, action should be fun at the pubs, i wonder if i'll have the guts to go watch eh and be part of the local trend. =P

Over there, soccer in pubs = to SG kopishop uncles with their tiger beers kind of culture.

FLOWERS

I'm not a huge fan of flowers, but they are lovely when in the thousands...and i read it's all a blooming in europe in June. let's hope eh...then the gardens will be nice..=) big garden squares set against historical buildings..woohooo...

Oh yay...it will be the first tiem i bring my new camera overseas!!!

MOBILE PHONE

I considered the corby pro the past 36 hours. Until, i read that my phone provider will be the first in the world to offer the latest samsung that i'd been drooling over. the only bad thing abt it is that it's pure touch screen. But it will be one my boss will likely admit is more chio than his phone...bwahahahha...

but but but....it's only avail in shops from 4 JUNE. *faints* I leave on the 5th June..dunno what time yet.

which then my brain leads back to.....

...TICKETS

I wanna sit A380 from london to sg can or not!?..sniffs...haiz...complicated. gotta check how difference the price is going to be.

am on some KLM/ airfrance combo. and i'll be in paris for 3 hours! HAH! (lame celebration --- it's only transit at the charlles de gaulle lah..=P)

okie okie...time to go..thirsty....

Argh...why the smile you links still down?!...grr...will i forever be stuck on episode 36 part 7!!! I refuse to skeeep...so close to the end liao!!!

I love the show neh...I'm so glad the first korean show i ever watched was Smile,You. It was worth every minute. It make me laugh and cry so many times i can't remember. =D

me thinks the lead lady is damn pretty lor. Lee Min Jung. The role just suited her lah, from acting as a spoilt brat to the adorable and essentially strong girl. The show's character is very admirable.

Anyway...can't believe she came to SG before, and looks so sweet at the airport signing autographs.Heh.

Tired.

new shoes, laundry...and cute stickers.

OK, not making sense. Nites.

Yipeeedooo

It's 7.06am on a saturday! so rare right? That's becasue i fell asleep whiel reading my new matthew reilly book. Hee...yipeedooo...and i jsut spent almost an hour at the bowl becasue I coudln't stop reading it. =)

Am here to share about a good day -- yesterday. Well, not that i'm jumping for joy or something. Strange feelings I'm having which i akin to emotional swings. Perhaps with this round having no cramps it has decided to go mental with me. Hahahaha...

Yesterday, we got books from the library, particularly the last of the series. Though getting lost on the way - but 3 cheers for ge's driving. =) We got news that $$$ has been approved pending final action and should hear from them next week. we're officially GST registered toos, with them sending a letter that everything was in order and no need to give more docs. Did a half hour brisk walk at the gym, since i'd already lugged my stuff. Ge's hp did a near drop into the bowl. Thank god for quick reflexes. Pins are doing good in theri tank and adored by some staff whom I know will at least play with them once in a while. The dumb doberman has been bad this week, constantly digging holes in the garden (which means more $$ spent fixing it back up) she is however happy and continues to eat non-stop.

so yeah, all in all, it's been a good day.=)

Ok, i've got to go though i wanted to add in more. Simply becasue the book is summoning me...hee...

I pray for a good weekend, specially for you all who are reading this!

Just felt like typing something here.

There. Done. =P

Pray I have a good rest.
