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. :-)

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..

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...

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...

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
