Home Sweet Home
Thank God for His bountiful blessings:
1. We got our boarding pass without seat number 45 minutes prior departure. The airline bumped 6 happy souls up to business class to free up cattle class seats us and 4 others. C and I cleared customs and baggage check before being assigned separate seats in a mad rush. Our boarding passes had handwritten ( Read more... ) -
Paris - Food
Paris is so big that it's impossible to cover it in 4 days and nights. There's so much to do, see and of course, eat.
C and I worked out a system such that we either order one dessert to share or two different types to share so that we can try different sweets from word-of-mouth stores. Yet, there are so many more shops we haven't gone to.

Basel
It's very cold in Basel, so cold that we couldn't walk around to soak in the sights. C and I only managed to check the Tinguely fountain and the Rhine. The sculptures at the fountain are so fluid that they seem to communicate with one another. I really admire people who can conceptualise and bring art to live. The Rhine is picturesque despite ( Read more... ) -
Holiday
It's not about how much we cover but how much we enjoy ourselves. The day trip to Jungfrau is an eye-opener. To bring the railway up to Jungfrau is an amazing Swiss engineering feat. And I experienced the change in the dreary foggy Interlaken weather to complete sunshine at Jungfrau. Quite unbelievable to see the sun once we move up from ( Read more... ) -
Trip Hiccup
We can safely fly to Switzerland but coming back is a huge headache. Flights are full from 2-5 Nov and we decided to try to come back on 1 Nov. Problem is there are only 10 tickets left.
The perils of free tickets.

Counting Down
Finally, there's a feel of excitement in the air. C managed to collect the air tickets and purchased train tickets for the Basel to Paris leg. I've booked hotels but we are coming back on 1 Nov instead of 2 Nov as the flight is full. I just hope we can get onto the 1 Nov flight back successfully. That's the disadvantage of free tickets - no ( Read more... ) -
Happy Monday
This is a year of zero-savings that comes with loads of fun. I'm actually happier with less responsibilities at work. Worrying thoughts do spring into my mind sporadically about the savings issue but I'm learning to relax and trust in God to take a sabbatical year off ( Read more... ) -
Travel Insurance
C and I are definitely buying insurance for the Switzerland/France trip.
His sis just got pickpocketed in Italy and lost 400 Euros. It's a blessing that she bought insurance.
However, the best insurance is definitely God's protection.

SK II
Seems like it's a better deal getting SK II products at airport duty free. I bought two huge limited edition bottles of essence and a twin pack stempower rich cream at very good promotion rates. I didn't get other products as I wasn't sure if it's cheaper to get it from Metro sale.
Well, now that I bought the skin rebooster and the wrinkle ( Read more... )
