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

T-Rex's birthday trip to Milan

Team Ariana was in Milan over the weekend. We stayed at a colleague's residence.. This is the host, Toni... T-Rex's good friend... also Consul-General based in Milan... so that's HIS EXCELLENCY Mr. Toni to you hehe.. Very nice guy... We felt very much at home with his kind hospitality...

The awesome view from his balcony...

We played ping pong in the ballroom... Time to show some ninja skills :p

I'm not beautiful. But I know I have a big heart. That's all that matters..

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Something to think about..

Natural Wonder..

Stevie Wonder addressed the WIPO High-Level Segment last Monday... he sang a little and gave a very touching speech... about access to information for the visually impaired and disabled...
