17.12.2007 -19.12.2007 Prague


It was freaking cold and it even snowed the day we left. Below 0 degrees all the time we were there. I wore 6 layers, and a total of 10 pieces of clothing. (That's almost my entire clothings in my luggage!!) I couldn't feel my face. At one point, my brain decided to switch off, I started to talk nonsense. Hillarious.

Our Top-Roof Apartment. Love it. Love it. Love it.

View from our apartment. We had 180 degrees view of Prague from our Aparment. It was great. Wished that it wasn't that cold, else we could have a party on the balcony while enjoying the view.

Sept Holiday : Siam Reap Stop

3D2N. Mind blowing. It's very different from my other trips, as this place has strong Buddism/Hinduism influence architecture. I love them (although I got a little sick of them by the end of the day). It's amazing how advance Siam Reap was, back in the old days. The stones, the carvings. And a little mysterious though. Why would such an advance civilization "disappeared" and became Cambodia today? War? Outbreak? hmm...

Sept Holiday : Kuala Lumpur Stop

My 3rd stop, Kuala Lumpur to visit Pauline and Eric. Of course, we visited the famous executive japanese buffet. Quite disappointed, and I think they are overated. Lots of food, but the quality not that good.



As for MoonCake festival dinner, we went to Secret Recipie. Had my favorite Spicy Cornish & Black Forest Cake. Yum Yum....
