Departing Germany... Arriving Singapore

Am back!

After a 16 day break in Germany, am back in cosy own room 'enjoying' the hot humidity. =P It was a good trip, one filled with many awe-inspiring cathedrals, stately town halls, bustling xmas markets, charming cafes, breath-taking river views, ice-cold beers, sausages and more sausages. And of course, rain and snow with daily temps hovering between 0 to 5 deg in the day.

Am tidying up my 1000+ pics now, and will post some select ones up soon. Bombed a total of about S$3500 on the whole trip (all inclusive) but got back a whole load of pretty memories, and of course, none beating the fact that it was a chance to visit Fish pal in her (temporary?) homeland. Except for a crazy self-planned schedule that included 11 places in 16 days (and I'd definitely not recommend it to anyone else, even my enemies), and some train + luggage hiccups on the final day, all else went swell.

And the pics will be up in just a while. =)

Can't breathe...

Alrights, I have never had it cut quite so thin before.

For the past 2 wks, it had been one really really MAD rush of cubicle-clearing, year end meetings, branch retreats, admin handover, trip planning, buddy's wedding prep-helping, farewell gatherings, KL-traveling (to help dad settle into new place) and fulfiling of some social commitments. It's crazy! And I can hardly breathe. Blood must have been gurgling furiously within and threatening to shoot through the brain roof. Despite the many 2am to 7am zzz days, things are still not quite done! It's either I am really overworked, or I am really inefficient. =P

Anyways, just 3 more days to Germany adventure. And my hope is that I would not need to lug work there. =P That said, am sure looking forward to meet up with fish pal again and fulfiling my long-time promise of visiting her there in faraway land! =) Am also very glad that gd pal M will be joining me for the later part of the trip. May it be a good, safe and memorable trip!

Await pics when I return on Xmas eve. Till then, adieus my friends!
