Look at this little boy closely.

  

He reminds me of Charlie from the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory movie.. It's not Charlie, so who is he then?? The little boy is none other than El Toniosky himself when he was a child! This picture was taken in Algeria, in the year I was born.. 

Freddie Highmore (a.k.a. 'Charlie'). I wonder if Charlie will grow up to resemble El Toniosky one day?? I will keep an eye on this one :-)

Special Day

Today is Adam's birthday and Valentine's Day, while tommorow is Maulud Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. (our Prophet's birthday)...

To the best dad in the world, happy birthday!! Thank you for always being there for mum, me and the boys. You have always been the best person to give advice and thoughts on life. God bless you always.. Wishing you a great day and see you soon in Brunei!! Love from Geneva xoxo

A bit of Lyon, Lille and La Panne..

 It's been a while since I last saw the beach... since Geneva only has a lake. This is the beach at La Panne in Belgium. It was too windy and cold (so no one was there) and sand kept going into my eyes, so I snapped a few shots and left for the comforts of a nice warm restaurant.

 Hmmm dragon with ketchup.

 Lille in the North of France is like a nice little winter wonderland..with little corner shops selling lots of different and unique things..

 On the way back to Lyon, we found trees covered with sparkling ice.. gorgeous..

 I hope you all had a great, memorable and safe xmas!! Happy holidays!!

My first painting of people.

OK they don't resemble anything like the couple in real life, but oh well... it's my first go. Should be better the next time round. :-)

Happy birthday!!

To my awesome brother Sir Nosferatus, I didn't forget to post up a b'day wish on my blog! Sorry for the MAX delay! Anyhow, I hope you had an awesome b'day party even if i wasn't there.. :-)

Looking forward to see you when you come back to Melbourne... Hugs from the coolest sista on earth (you know it's true) xoxo

Cheryl Cole - Parachute

Great lyrics (especially at the moment).. Alluring gothic yet ethereal.. A mixture of tango, ballet, modern hip hop and yes, a bit of flamenco..

Gorgeous.. :-) Notice that only a part of the plant is covered in melting ice..

Eminem - Love The Way You Lie ft. Rihanna

Eminem is back...

Great video... but if you ever find yourself in an abusive relationship, just.. LEAVE. Trust me on this... I know from experience.. and one day.. maybe, one day I will share my story with the world..

And snow continues to fall...

Only in Switzerland...

I found out a few interesting things about Switzerland during my stay here...

1) If you are Swiss, you have to serve in the military for a few weeks every year from the age of 18 until you are 34. The higher rank you attain, the longer you will serve.. in some cases up to 50 years old. If you are disabled, and could not contribute physically in the army, you are expected to pay taxes which consist 3% of your annual salary... 

2) Only in Switzerland can you order things from Swiss online shops and get your order without paying first. You are expected to pay later of course. 

3) You will get fined CHF200.00 for recycling in another suburb. If you are not a resident in the area, you are not allowed to recycle and do the noble deed.

and last but not least

4) If you happen to get into a car accident with another vehicle during winter in Switzerland, and you don't have winter tyres on... you pay for EVERYTHING... even if it's not your fault. That's the regulation here..

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the wayyy..

 How cute... what I saw in my neighbour's garden today..

It sure is early for snow this year...

Apparently... we have a new lady employee at the office...

She got a moustache though.

Prank FINALE.

Before you click on to see this video... Just a little introduction. The guy in this clip is called 3G. A funny, adorable, easy-going, laid-back man. He is running infront of my office because he did a prank on me 10 minutes earlier... by switching off the lights in my room and running off laughing. So instead of the usual paper-clip toss, this is what I did as payback.

Bye bye Collex..

Holy cow! I didn't realise I gathered so much stuff in the past three years. The movers have already started packing my stuff, so hopefully everything will be in Brunei by the time I arrive... InsyAllah...

 

That's just sooo... cheesy!

Gruyères... home of the Gruyère cheese..

The best place to have fondue and raclette...

OMG, even looking back at the picture now, makes my mouth water!

Yummm...!

Whoops! I forgot about the butter I left near the raclette heater..

Raclette cheese... Drool... Drool...

Inside the HR Giger Bar... we met HR Giger himself.. the visual effects creator of the film "Alien".

Outside HR Giger Museum..

I know this is gross, but... uhhh

When talking about pooping in the toilet, I've heard people say:

• 'Oh man, why did I eat all of that Mexian food? I'm gonna have to take a huge dump, I'll be back in a week.'
• 'Pinch a loaf'
• 'Need to drop a log'
• 'Oo-Oo' (baby talk)
• 'Do a Number Two'
• 'Launch a steamer'
• 'Dropping off the kids in the pool' (thanks Sir Nosferatus)
• 'Give birth to a politician'
• And the best one, 'I need to free Nelson Mandela'

LOL
