better start reading up i guess.


couple days off after the seoul-frisco.

met up with the people who went to maldives for internship.
minus victoria who's studying in us. and vanessa who's sick.
plus chef ken who doesn't want us to call him chef but we're so use to it.
dined at wheelock.
headed to partyworld to listen to them sing.


met up with luge peeps next night for silin's birthday at glasshouse.
why issit that everyone loves celebrating birthdays there.
cabbed back with ct.


off to adelaide next.
coincidentally was on the same flight at nic's girlfriend.
pretty good flight there.
went walking around the market after touch down.
for the first time, it was open when i have a flight there.
got back to the hotel, showered, crashed for an hour or so.
off to meet yanwan.
must say that her directions were quite specific.
met her roommate ingrid who picked me up on her behalf.

toured around the campus.
waited just a bit in her dorm before meeting the girl.
dinnered at miss saigon.
a rather low key viet restaurant.
pretty good food there.

yanwan please thank all your friends' hospitality while i visited.


attended mass at holy fam but forgot to bring alex's itunes card out.
picnic plans were cancelled for some reason.


went back for my fourth month review.
the offices were all relocated due to renovations.

met junie for a quick late lunch before flight that night.
dubai was ok.
had dinner with the crew.
shopping mall next day.
just realised that i haven gotten the desert safari photos from madeline.

went sightseeing with some of them in moscow.
first day to the red square. then some cafe.
and the supposedly world fame restaurant for dinner.

next day bought tickets for the kremlim and the armoury.
a former citadel, residence and ruling place of the former tsars,
now a tourist attraction and i think they still have some office there.

didn't really do my homework for this trip.
so can't remember much of the stuff,
except for what i read from the guide books.
which also wasn't mine.






the tsar bell.
the largest bell ever made in the world. but never used.
waste time, money and effort. -.-

same goes for this cannon.












pretty awesome structures, buildings, cathedrals and decor.
gold gilded domes and icongraphy.
italian architects if I remember correctly.


wandered into this park area while waiting for our armoury visit.









no pictures allowed inside so i only managed to take the stairs. -.-


all sorts of russian history in it.
stayed till it was pretty much closing time.

headed down to take photos of their white house.




love their train stations.
their decor looks so much of history.




exited the train station and saw this.
at first we thought it was their famous gothic building
that was turned into a hotel cum campus.
but a local told us it was a residence building.
imagine living in a castle like this.

did some grocery shopping after that near the hotel.

and this is probably the only time i got up at call time.
rushed like mad. broke my own record.
painted my face. tied my hair and packed.
all under 30mins.


back to dubai.
new hotel for us.
and we were the first set of crew to stay there.
we were all so amazed when we got to our rooms.




spacious spa-like entrance





pretty large kitchenette and dining area by any standards.
am so gonna bring cookable drystores when i'm there.
wai wai was saying that we can even make ourselves fried eggs.
i'm thinking more along the line of pasta. =)






and pretty decent sleeping area.
flat screen tv.
and a master control remote for lighting!




toilet's probably the only area which didn't do so well.
but hey, that's good enough for now.


we were 'invited' for a dinner reception.
thought it'd be like to meet the duty manager or someone.
but we ended up having our own crew dinner.
and all expense paid.
lucky us =)


arrived in singapore monday morning.
went to send wj off for this maldives internship.


three days off, one day was back in jurong.
met mel and terence for tanning but ended up dining at rits.
sun wasn't good. but got a teeny tan.

ipl and alteration in town with mel next day.

met up with lu, mel and shawn on the 31st.
hung at c.iguana.
waited freaking long at the taxi queue.
got home close to 4.

306 dinner on saturday.
walked out then realised that i forgot the chocolates.
which was the most important reason why we were meeting up.
went back to get it then cabbed down.
marina sq for dinner.
esplanade to chill and camwhore.
timbre but was full.
got called up for flight when we reached smu.
decided to cut short our night out.



asked them to choose a place where we haven tried before.
and they settled on swensens.
but well the company is more impt



souvenirs from yw's trip to gold coast.



beilin loves to provoke our friend who isn't here.


why the sad face girl?





this picture inspired a round of emo pictures.


my twin for the day.


bom flight was ok save for all the ad-hoc orders.
and system problems.
seriously the call lights never stop.
but pretty great set of crew.


probably another tanning session tomorrow.
with celine.
i'm off. night!
