Europe Trip Day 7 - Paris Disneyland

I never thought Paris Disneyland would be the First Disneyland I could visit, at least when Hong Kong Disneyland existed, I thought it was nearer to go to HK Disneyland than the others.

But winning the competition gave me the privilege to visit Paris, and in Paris, I wouldn't be *that dumb* missing my golden opportunity to visit Paris Disneyland!! :D Yippie!~~

- we redeemed a mini coke from the lunch we paid, and this action, was to compare the size of Brandon's XX with the mini coke :P -

My Sept + Oct Tragedy~ Updated~

Besides all the Happy Happenings with the Lims, personally I have a few not-so-happy happenings with myself.

20 Sept 2009:

I fell into the drain outside my house, scratched the back of my right thigh but thank god I was wearing long pants, so it didn't bleed. But there was a wound on my right palm, which I do not have any picture to show.





26 Sept 2009:

First was this, the night after my sister's actual wedding day, I had this small little scratch from my darling Jack Jack when he was happily jumping around playing with me :) It was a very small scratch, but it turned out to be quite a big bruise after one day, so I decided to visit the clinic for a jab.







So here was the jab =_+





28 Sept 2009:

Then the second one came two days after, when my kitchen glass at the new house needed a change. The glass was not properly mended before house warming, but it was unnoticable, so due to time constraint, the contractor can only change it after house warming, and being the one with most free time at home, I was required to supervise the process.

So what happened was they had to break the glass, and replace it with a new one. I thought it was hot so I wanted to on the fan for them, without realising they actually placed those broken glasses (which were put inside a pale) underneath the switch, tah dah~~ got cut, and that cut was actually feeling-less. It was too sharp to feel anything at that instant, but the bleeding was bad. I was alone after they left and I was having a manual car that day, so I was not able to drive myself to the clinic by then. Plaster was what I used :) I only visited the clinic after 24 hours, that saved me the stitches, but is going to leave me a scar. Sobx.






So the puppy's bite plus the glass cut, it became like this. Did I mention both happened to my left leg?

12 October 2009:

This happened just two hours ago, and is what made me feel like expressing myself here. =_+ Because I beh Tahan liao~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lols....

How the hell can a needle broke inside my wrist??

You can't see anything here right? Because it went inside without a sign :S

Too bad they threw the needle too quick after the 'small' operation, here is what was left at home :S Half of the needle that went in was about 2.5 cm long.

What happened was, I didn't know my dear sister left a needle poking the towel because she did a little sewing before that, so I took my towel to wipe my hand after washing, and it was those normal wiping gesture where you rub your hands with a towel. I didn't feel anything but heard a broken needle, it happened so quick that the next thing I felt was a broken needle inside, and I could only see the other half that was with the thread. =_+

Silly question I asked: 'Should I go to the clinic now??' :s

I hate going to clinic, but I knew I needed to.

I was not brave enough to witness the whole process of how the doctor took the needle out, but I could only feel he was doing it. =_+ I was basically putting my head lying on the bed when he did it, and when he asked to see the needle he took out, plus that little hole he digged, I almost fainted :s :s Sobx!!! And I puked after came out from the room =_+

Yeap, so I had my first stitch in my life, and I hope I won't have the second one. * pray pray *

Next on is to go to the clinic again two days after this for 'cuci luka' , and then take off the stitch in a week's time.

OH DEAR LORD, PLEASE GIVE ME THE POWER TO STAY ON!!!

Lols.. It amazing how it happened, but I thank god that this is what happened and not anything more serious :)

Love, Me

My sudden crave for this song :)

Love, Me – Collin Raye

I read a note my Grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said "Boy, you might not understand but a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none but I loved your Grandma so

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter and this is what it said"

If you get there before I do don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you

Love,
Me

I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her his eyes filled up with tears

If you get there before I do don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you

Love,
Me

And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you

Love,
Me

Europe Trip Day 10 - Antwerp, Belgium

After two nights of 'luxury' life in with Grace & Merylna, we finally had to depart to our next destination, Amsterdam :) But however, we took the opportunity to visit another city in Belgium 'on the way' to Amsterdam; ANTWERP =)

(read more about Antwerp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antwerp)

We were told that you would feel differently when you travel in the 3 regions in Belgium, and true enough, I felt the slight differences. The way people look at strangers, the language they speak, and the level of friendliness definitely were different.

This was the very informative and friendly officer, which, we didn't meet on in Brussels :)



The train station in Antwerp.

As usual, they always have Sightseeing Bus in all the cities.
*psst, we didn't take any of 'em*

Brandon molested a 'Uncle' on the street.

I am not sure what was this for, but it was at the side of a cross junction, with some plants and this 'orang-orang' :)

OMG!!! Naked Mannequin~~~ :P No la, they were wearing transparent clothing :P

Giant hand!! :D

Look at where the baby was sitting in :D and He was sleeping :D haha!! So adorable~~

Handworking workers in Antwerp =)



Antwerp town hall~~

Candles in the Cathedral :D

Siao before leaving Antwerp to Amsterdam :P

And this was what they do for all their free time, :P Anywhere, anytime!

Will replace Paris Day 7 Disneyland Tour soon :D

Europe Trip Day 8&9 - Brussels, Belgium

Thanks to Grace & Merylna for hosting us in Brussels! :D They were really nice and accomodating!

Grace brought us home from gare du nord, and then to the city of Brussels :)

Belgium is famous for their Chocolate :D Yummy!!

Of course, their beers too :) It's written there, 250 different types of Beers :D

The main building in Brussels, The Town Hall. * according to them, that's the only meaningful building that you would want to take in Brussels, lols.. *

Team Patior with The Manneken Piss :)
you can read about its legend/story here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken_Pis

I don't remember the name of this statue anymore, but we were told that she gives blessings =) So, make a wish!

One of the local delicacies: Chocolate Strawberries

*The Strawberry goes on! :P *

This was so lovely :D and was soooooooo delicious, Waffle!!! Imagine Belgium chocolate + Strawberries + Hot waffle!!! OMG!! I Missed It! :D



Escargot in pepper soup=) So crunchy!

Famous Fries in Brussels =) They call it Frites~

Beligum local beer : Jupiler

We had our first chinese meal in Europe, they took us to this chinese restaurant :D Thank You!



Night view of the streets from their house :D

We went on our own on the second day, because they had to go to work. So we had our Brussels Adventure!

We had to walk for about 10 minutes to get to the bus station.

When the 'seniors' were not around, this was what the guys did :P

Just some random picks :D

There was a lake nearby the bus stand =)

Merylna was our cook of the day!! She cooked 4 dishes for us :D

After the delicious dinner, we went to a bar nearby to have a drink! :D

This is Merylna :) She took tea though :D

This is Grace :D She's coming back soon!! :D

Mr Brandon! :D

Mr William

Miss Looi

Miss Looi got drunk :P But still able to do the dishes cleaning up :D

Although there wasn't much of 'interesting' places to visit in Brussels, but we had wonderful time catching up with Grace & Merylna, and they made us feel so 'home' :D

Muaxxx!!! Looking forward to meet them again~ :D
