it's been 2 weeks of travelling, non-stop feasting and loads of fun that I reli dread going back to work tomorrow.. (i've been eating so much that i'm now round and pudgy and i fear i won't be able to cycle up the slope anymore) but one gotta face up to reality and stop dreaming eh.
anyway.. there's way too much stuff to blog about.. so here's juz some of the highlights!
1) Haoz arrived!! =) - with all the singapore food and presents from sisters in tow of coz. yippee!
brought him ard london.. then we went for a mini road trip along the southern coast of UK.
the southern coast..
the beautiful Seven Sisters..
we visited Rochester as well.. Rochester Castle..
old traditional buildings along Rochester High Street
and how can we miss their fabulous traditional PUB food!!
i became the pub's sauce-spokesperson for the day.
ooh i finally got to visit Arsenal Emirates Stadium!! we went for the stadium tour and it was simply amazing! we got to see the player's changing rooms.. their own spa and stuff..
flew off to Berlin for our Europe trip on 26th Dec!
Berlin is reli awesome.. nice city with a rich history.. (not to mention the many xmas markets with GREAT food!! - we couldnt pronounce the names of the food we wanted so we kind of juz pointed and paid. haha)
my braised pork knuckle!!!!!!!!!! so soft and fragrant.. hoho
xmas market light up - Gendardenmarkt
famous currywurst!
anyway, can't upload all the glorious food photos.. but let's just say that any german xmas market is a glutton's dream come true!
after that it was on to Hamburg! feel that Hamburg's not as nice as Berlin.. maybe coz it's less touristy and more of a financial hub kinda place.. anyway, Hamburg's got a busy port and that means loads of sea food! haha. yeh.. food again, i noe. they have all kinds of weird looking fishes and fishy sandiwches..
famous lake in the middle of Hamburg.
after that it was Netherlands- Amsterdam! Amsterdam's reli one of a kind.. narrow skinny houses alongside its million and one rivers, trams running all over the city, bicycles parked all over the place, coffee shops selling cannabis.. and even more fascinating is the Red Light District.. near-naked women with impossibly huge boobs posing & pouting in glass window displays. interesting to watch.. but reli.. if u think about it seriously.. feels kind of sick..
there are boat-houses as well.. ppl who live on the river itself. our boat was cruising thru the river and this family who was lunching waved at us thru their window from their boat-house! haha. fascinating.
and look! on my birthday.. (art on van says ex-porn star) hmmm...
alright.. finally.. it's BELGIUM!! went Antwerp and Brussels..
I absoultely LOVE belgium! yeh.. u guessed it.. for their waffles and fries and chocolates. haha. but brussels's a reli nice place.. very very pretty as well.. wonderful architecture, nice friendly ppl..
yup.. reli too lazy to upload the rest.
it was a great trip nonetheless. got back yesterday and was greeted with a severely deflated rear bicycle tyre. woohoo. wat's new. Sylvia helped me get it to the bike shop in town centre to get it fixed. 20 pounds! just as well. enough to make me feel reli broke and maybe make me stop buying so much junk.
time to stop feasting and get fit enough to do the tedious cycling routine again.
oh yay.
Happy 2009 everybody!!
~gone in a moment..
