Dreaming of an Italian holiday

Well well, she still prefers European holidays over Asian-never-ending-shopping holidays...

She loves watching architecture, culture, history and.....and just a little shopping will do because its nothing too unique. You can do it back home too :)

Oh well...Should apply leave soon. Tentatively would be just herself on this trip unless someone pops up to join her.

This time, unlike London and Frankfurt, she wants to spend a fruitful air ticket and get travelling around in trains, which she always fear...And visit many places...

Rome, Florence, Venice, and if possible to squeeze in Amalfi, Naples in that short 11-12 days trip...she wants to see the blue and clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea...Though Southern part of Italy like Sicily would be god damn perfect but guessed it might be alitle chilly to visit near the end of the year...Oh well, leave those pretty Medditerranean places for future honeymoon, if it ever happens. Haha, and also the lavender fields would be one place on earth worth visiting :)

Just throw me beautiful scenery on the train, bicycle or a cute little vespa scooter...She'll be a damn happy girl...and a memory to last for a long long time...

out to the sea...

Summer's here...and just some little fun out at sea!! Just a little sunshine, a little sea water gets her happy...And yes..being afraid of sharks in M'sia water...and yet when Mel's manage to convince her to dip into the Arabian gulf waters...She just did it without any knowledge of the surrounding...there's sharks..haha..

Well but the water is warm and nice...its addictive and it didn't occur to her that warm water is where shark lives too!!! And the picture is a school of dolphins..nto shark..haha

Just a couple of lazy days...

And guess pictures will be left to speak of itself for the past 2 months...Summer is hitting the desert yet again...And time seemed to pass faster than expected. Half a year of 2009 is about to be up...and yet there's alot to catch up with...

Glad she's finally warming up to Dubai and making a couple of friends here, and meeting a few unexpected people here. Perhaps this is all that will make the Dubai Experience something worth remembering too...

Marina Barrage Picnic while she was back...

And this is last month's Jumeira Beach outing while the weather is still bearable...it would be long before we'll hit the beach again...40degrees and going up..

Mel's stopover in Feb

Overdue entry of 11 Feb at Age 22.

Saturday here.

Working on Saturday. As Friday is the "weekend" here. Still have not gotten used to having Friday as the "weekend". It kinda make me feel so disorientated. Especially when you need to connect yourself back to Singapore. Trying to count the hours in Singapore is bad enough, though I'm getting better at it. And it wasn't as bad as I thought. And not trying to oriented yourself with Singapore in the sense of working days...hmm..

Was doing nothing yesterday on Friday. Was lying in bed and as what Kenneth says, "sardine in the sun", and chatting. Well been a long time since I completely did nothing. No internet. If you have not realise how internet keep us entertained..wohoo. We a TV which was as good as not having because there's only 3 arabic channel and we can't be bothered to set it up as we'll be moving soon. And I brought my ipod charger but no ipod. If I can be alittle more careful. How stupid.

So besides shopping til 1am in Mall of Emirates(MOE) which we have been doing for the past 2 "weekends"-Thursday Night..and yes, over here, shopping centre opens til late 12am or 1 am every weekend. Manz, Singapore should make life easier for us.Trying to remember when cab surcharge is hard enough and the different rate of ERP at different time of the day. You still have to try to remember when and which malls open late on which night. Anyway..Drivers will love it here. Once you pass through 1 "ERP" here, which they call it SALIK, those that you pass down the same road, you don't have to pay anymore.

Next post I shall comment on Camel racing here.

Updating some pics up!

More from London Trip

London

Gonna let pictures do the talking. Very nice trip to remember. Nothing that fantastically fun, but it just felt different. Worth the money though we really tried saving alot. But guess its just about being with the right person that makes everywhere seems perfect, every up and down eventually not that bad afterall :)

Will upload more when there's more time.

Forgive her little excitement

Forgive her little excitement. Her little countdown. She just can't seem to wait. It's like a little dream coming true. It feels like WAHOOOO. Unable to describe. Feels like its those days she can't stop smiling literally when that day comes. Opps better not say anything too soon. ha

After the long long wait.. She knows she's gonna be broke. But somehow she just got to hope that some experiences are what money can't buy..

Just wait..very soon.
