You're gonna be so jealous when i tell you this.... I'm going on a trip again! Destination - TAIWAN! Ok, so its not Norway or Bhutan or Rio...but i'm going with my mom and sis, enough reason for celebration...having gained more wisdom (since i just turned uh humm 31 last week), i realised its not the places that count (yeah right) but its the company you keep. (now go awwwwww) hahah....
We were supposed to go to Beijing but our tour got canceled due to insufficient number of travellers, and since its too late to apply for a visa to China, we're heading to Taiwan instead. Leaving on the 13th, bought our air tics yesterday and bought our ground arrangement today.... With my mom in tow and us having the experience of a failed independent travel to Eastern Europe some years ago, its better to have the comfort and convenience of a guided tour. I know some ppl hate it, being herded up and down the bus like a brace of ducks (i googled collective nouns of ducks)..i'm too lazy to be doing independent travel nowadays..unless its with the right ppl (ie- my buddy who has the patience of a saint!) as i can be such a pain the arse while traveling...its true, the korean girl who witnessed my Jekyl and Hyde transformation the moment the train left Waterloo station can vouch for it! But as i said, with age and wisdom on my side, i'll conquer the Jekyl (or isit Hyde?) in me!

In the meantime, more pics from Singapore!
Marina Bay Sands, looks really special.. They're one of the 2 licensed casinos in Singapore, the other being the Genting group, which is from yours truly Malaysia. Went in both, very different ambience.Pic taken during our river cruise.
Day visit to the inside of Marina Bay Sands, very upclass, here's the perennial tai tai favourite - Elll Veee...
And their window display.. despite my many references to elll veee, i dont own even one of their items and i'm not particularly crazy for one..its more like, ohh ell vee, how nice, and move on..i dont drool over their bags nor do i lust after louis.. having said that, don't think that i wouldnt want your old ellll veee bags should you decide that you've had enough fun with yours and would like to throw one my way...pls do!!
my reflection in one of the many glossy shiny slimming mirrors there ...
Okay, the next pic's supposed to come after this..but i'm lazy to swap...so here's the bottom part with water....
And the top part before water....
And here is my colleague with her husband who sang a very sweet song to her in the bus...awww....
Okay, abrupt end... hungry and need food..
