Brugge trip!!

The best every picture i've taken.
Continued from the previous post ...
After i had breakfast ( cereal and soup ) , got dress .. wearing pink ( new year cheers ! )
headed down to the common room of my hall and met up with other hall mates ..
Knowing it would be a sunny day , i couldn't put on my contact on cause i wanted to rest my
eyes for another day after the cili padi incident .. lol .. cant wear my sun glasses , well ,
it is so much better with good eye sights ..
Slept on my journey there , slept for 2 hours on the way to dover port , it was a deep sleep and it felt like i've slept for 6 hours .. !! Anyways , now most of my hall mates know that i snore when i sleep .. lol .. can't believe my friends didn't wake me up .. they jeered along .
arrived at dover , this ferry was slightly smaller than the 1 i boarded to LES ARCS ( SKI TRIP ) ,
anyways , forgot to bring card , and i found a big sofa ( nevertheless failed to sleep ) .
chilled under the sunny skies at the dock of the ferry , brings back the good memories in Redang , except i'm wearing 2 layers rather than wearing only a singlet .
See the difference of this and my redang post ? ( we're all wrapped up !! )

Continued our journey to Brugge , Belgium right after and arrived around 1230 . It is amazing how we travelled from London to Belgium , i never saw the border of France and Belgium . We were at France a moment after exciting the ferry and the next second we're already in Belgium ' AMAZING ' Europe is packed !
start of our journey .. some stop in brugge
welcoming ourselves to some haunted castle

Started off with our journey , followed the supposedly GROUP TOUR '. We were just behind them but we lost them in less than 10 minutes !! thx to me wanting to take too many pictures ..
Well , with the trusty Brugge map and guide book, brought ourselves around pretty well too ..
Brugge is just amazing , known to be a town famous for its Chocolate and its landmarks .
The scenery was eye-catching , the environment of the city , simply indescribable .
They have horse carriages showing ppl around the city and it was so peaceful !
The smell of the belgian chocolates was equally amazing . The scent diverting my path every 10 seconds . Chocolatier , Leonidas , Neuhas , Chocolaterie Roose , you name it .. everything is there !!!
chocolates !!!!
we do love chocs !!
belgian chocs cream waffle !!
some famous love passage i assume . i'm so bad at names of places
in front of some church each holding a map.

Had lunch at HOTEL RESTAURANT CENTRAL .. had Moules casserole , irresistible.. Very fresh ..expensive though ( it cost us euro 17.50 for 1.2 kg )..went to Burg right after .. shot some awesome pictures ..
Mussels for lunch.. the best ever
the way to eat THEM !! 10 in a row ..
We only had 5 hours in Brugge .. 1445 .. had to buy some souvenirs for my family .. got post cards and a magnet decorative .. only changed 15 pounds worth of Euro , had to buy little chocolate for mummy and friends .. Got only some fresh chocolate , now i don't buy packed chocolates anymore unless i'm going to keep it . The freshly handmade chocolates are so so tasty , melts in your mouth and the taste just sinks in ..
city centre. Amazed by the rubbish in there.. lol .. there's even Braille on the side.
Market center
Cafe Sportman !

Landmark of Brugge
to all tin tin fans !!!
Strolled around with our trusty map. there were carriages touring tourist around.
went to get some souvenirs. Stopped by hypermarket !!.. Everyone bought brew !!
Bought vodka and chococapric !! ( the twin of coco crunch !! )
Arrived at my hall 1130pm ... Nick was doing work on the ferry all the way and the 1st thing he did when he got back is DO WORK !! Cambridge boy ..

house of parliament.
another church...
brew bought by the hall
chococapic n vodka !!
My 2nd trip out of UK .. though it was only 5 hours.. and it was on the 3rd day of CNY..
It was still an awesome trip to the city of chocolates..
nick doing his work . ..... Always ....
yes i am strong.. .
strong enough to survive the freezing temperature on the ferry

Sabah and Ideas

After a first CNY celebration in Malaysia in 4 years, I am off to Sahabat, LAhad Datu for my first placement in the FVOP refinery. It was an eye opener al-together. I spent the weekend at Audrey's for CNY before heading off on Monday to officially embark on my first duty. First stop, the airport - it is as small as an LRT station in KL. Simple, no conveyor belts for luggage, just a simple raised platform for luggage. Small waiting area and 2 scanning system, that's all. All the more efficient and tiny, but it costs RM 186 a single way from KK to Lahad Datu, that's extortion. My boss - Mr Abdul Ali was very welcoming where he drove his 4WD to pick me up and treat me to a wonderful Chinese meal with his wife and colleague. YES, Chinese Meal in a Chinese restaurant. So here we are, in a smaller town compared to the big cities, and there is so little racism that a Malay can eat openly in a Chinese restaurant and calls it the best restaurant in town. Mind you, even police offic...
