It was my best maldives flight ever.. compared to the past 2 flights that i did..once was during the monsoon season and the other one, everyone prefer to hide away from the sun... It's maldives people!! this time i did maldives with jasmine and no other than andy... THANK GAWD that everyone was so outgoing and the weather was awesome...

on the night we touch down in maldives, as usual we showered and went for drinks at the bar... slept about 2am maldives local time and woke up at 10am for bengawan solo breakfast in front of Serene's room... Owh.. we all stayed in a horse shoe like rooms at the resort.... the rooms are all lined in a horse shoe like land especially for us.. besides the myth saying that it was haunted because they were people being disturbed by this little girl that calls some of the rooms in the middle of the night and sing them the 'ABC" song, it was ultimately syok.. Alright back to our fantastic morning..after the breakfast we changed, and head out to the sun...we signed up for the trip to bring us out to the sea where Manta's clean themselves up... Oops.. did i mention it was the manta ray season?? yea it was such a coincidence that it was manta season.. so we went to rent our snorkle gears and off we went in a speed boat out to sea... it was about a 30mins ride towards the place where mantas clean themselves..

We snorkle about 2 hours before heading tp she Sand Bank... The manta's was really huge but the tails are short..

After snorkle, we went to the sand bank.. where most of the resorts will either throw their extra sand there or get more sand from the bank.. it was a really beautiful place for photoshoot and also for sun tanning... loving it

The sand bank wasnt the end of the day.. we took our 30mins ride back to the island and had our banana boat water sports... it was syok-ness but tiring..especially the part where you have to climb back up the boat and have to turn the banana boat upright... it really needs team work...but again.. i really miss the time when me and the girls went KK and did parasailing and jet skiing... cant wait to go island hopping soon..anyone?

Andy and i finally went to the Singapore Zoo after long decided to go.. Unfortunately what actually pushes us to go is something awful... but i'm glad we actually went and things changed from worse to bad, and from bad to good... *finger crossed* We bought tickets for Singapore Zoo and the night safari so that we can spend the whole day with quality time together....

the zoo was really huge... we walked from mammals to herbivores, herbivores to carnivores and follow by reptiles... they even have penguins and polar bears in Singapore... How does these animals survive in Singapore?? I DON'T KNOW!!!

Enough of the picture sharing... we spent the whole morning and afternoon in the zoo.. had lunch and dinner in the zoo too....Owh.. did i mention about the ambassador of Singapore? It was this Orang Utan that the singapore government gave it a post as an ambassador of SIngapore to promote singapore tourism.. and it was named AH MENG... Anyway the orang utan just passed on past 2 years and was the only animal that is buried in the Singapore Zoo.

after the zoo... we had our dinner and walked over to the night safari when the sun is about to set... there were a lot of tourist...be it from china or japan... we were welcomed by the safari with a tribal dance which looks as though the dance is from the Iban native of sarawak...conclusion... the dance is like crap.. with short blow pipes..=/

we then went on in to watch the first show by the nocturnal animals before proceeding to the eerie walking trail to look at night animals... didnt take much pictures in the night safari because flashes are not allowed,,, personally i think night safari is not worth going unless you wanna gain experience out of it... coz most of the animals are asleep and most of the animals you saw them in the zoo as well...maybe at night their eyes are different in colours only.. we left the night safari at about 10pm.. and we actually spent the entire day with the animals...

I did Moscow again... This time neither my buddy chichi nor my darling andy is on the trip... But the crew was awesome... It was -20 in Moscow.. It's bone chilling cold...The only colour u can see there is only black and white... and we still went out for a show in the Moscow circus...

Saw these really cute balloons with arms and legs outside the circus.. we were running around looking for tickets because we planned last minute and the tickets are all sold out... thank god there are this people outside selling tickets which are much more expensive with lousy sitting place... we got the tickets though, coz it was so cold and we took the trouble to travel all the way to the circus.. The sitting wasn't too bad, because the tent is round so we were able to see all the performances too...

The circus show is awesomeeee...especially all those beautiful ladies with long long legs...*slurps* dressed in short short dresses.... Though we don't even understand a thing they were talking... But action speaks louder than words ma....=)

Owh did i mentioned that the closing of the circus is so granddddd?? yes, it is... after our moscow that is of coz houston.... HOuston is all about shoppings... this time instead of Cypress we went to the premium outlet... it was ultimate huge and even u can finish the entire place i guarantee that you will be broke... coz even half the place make me broke...=( hmm..wait... back to Moscow... the snow is really so thick that you can bury hlf of your legs into the snow...(psst...for my height la)

We have always wanted to visit the National Museum... Courtesy of my man to bring me sightsee in Singapore... We have actually done a few museums but the National museum.. So finally one day we get our ass there but it was like 2 hours before they close... So meaning we couldn't actually finish walking... and take more pictures...=(

Because we didn't take enough pictures.. we started to camwhore outside the other section of the museum before leaving for dinner...=)

I've did Zurich many times... but this time is with someone special... Zurich is a bored and beautiful station... beautiful as in the scenery, the sightseeing places... bored as in places that you have been to, you will never wanna go again...
We were planning to go many places of interest before we head to Zurich, but as the flight got closer, we notice that we had a really short stay...Therefore all our plans is down the drain...
On the day we reached Zurich, it was really cold and sun is setting soon... it was snowing lightly and of coz Fantasia followed us to this trip as well...

We had an early rest that day, and woke up early morning for breakfast in the hotel... we had a full 2 hours of breakfast before we head out to the walking street for a walk...

we bought tramp tickets and went to the walking street... bought this really nice checks dress and am loving it... and we hit sprungli for our favourite lil burger delicacy, the macaroons...*yummy* it's really expensive in singapore tho... but its not cheap in Zurich too la... but we just loveeeeeeeee it....=) But of coz ZUrich have more choice and it is bite-size...*yum yum*

After spending money, we went to the lake at the end of the street...

we left the lake about 30 mins later and went to the supermarket to get our dinner and the lychee champagne...it's like a fruity champagne... where i so far can only find in zurich....=) stock up for Chinese New Year!!!!

I Do Love You <3
