The Important Man

Who is he? ha ha, Gordon of course. :P

Have been looking forward to the arrival of this important figure. Really adored this little bro of mine a lot. :)

I have been busy taking care of him and bringing him around these few days. Trying to tell him everything about London.. ha ha.. though he is actually going to Edinburgh for studies.

Anyway, I will miss him when he leaves for Edinburgh next week...

Trip A to Z

Some say, we should save the best for the last. Indeed, this trip to Vienna and Zurich with MG is our last trip together and is the best trip we have had so far. We made the bookings right after the exams and I have little expectations for the trip. I just hope to rest and relax and see more of Europe. It turned out that in sharp contrast to the hectic and tiring Greece trip, this trip is amazingly relaxing and enjoyable, and I must say that Austria and Switzerland (especially) are truly lovely. I have actually fallen in love with Switzerland.

We went to the Alps, we went to see the waterfalls, we visited villages and grasslands of Salzburg, we walked through the peaceful and scenic city of Vienna and Zurich. We had great food, great deal of fun and we bought lots of chocolates!

And I took 764 photos in total! Till my memory card is full. :P It's impossible for me to upload each and every good shot. Let me just show you 5 of my favourite...(upload more when I have the time).
Switzerland and Austria, wait for me, I WILL BE BACK!

Blue and White

The colour of my primary school uniform. The colour of my secondary school uniform. My favourite colour combination. The colour of Greece.

Went with MG, Gwen, Rebecca and Yileng to Athens for 5 days - with 2 days on Santorini, a Greek island. It was an amazing trip. The weather was hot. up to 41 degrees. We climbed volcanos, trekked mountains, chased by donkeys... very tiring indeed. But the sights were breath-taking. And we watched the most beatiful sunset on Santorini.
Thank God for keeping us safe and healthy once again. :)
