Change of plans ! unfortunately the promo tickets was not available for Paris for this weekend ! It's crazy ! the price was triple than the promotion price.... sob sob ! anyway ! Lufthansa gave me great news today ! they're having super duper promotions for certain flights within Europe ! so, I'm heading south instead ! Rome here I come ! for euro 90 return ! isn't that great ?...normal price was around eur 400 to 600 for the tickets.... going there next week.... Tickets - checked, Hotel - not yet, Places of Interests - homework required.... so, Paris, maybe next time then ! not worried so much as Air Asia X is flying to London soon! .....can't wait for the Roman Holiday !

Should I or Shouldn’t I ?…. Part 1

I always asks this question to my best friend when I needed his opinion before making decision on something….. being him, which always agree on my darker side (no offence okay ShobShob….but you’re always biased on my evil side … hahah !) , I always chose “Okay, I’ll do it !! …..”

Hmmm… I’ve been contemplating for quite a while whether to go to Paris or not ? the positive side is, I’m so near to Paris and it’s been one of my dreams to visit the Romantic City …. the saddest part is, I’m all alone ! isn’t it depressing to visit the city alone? …. I always travel in packs ….. so, if I do choose to do this.. it will be my first trip alone …. Hmmm …. Let’s give it a thought until this weekend to decide …. Clock is ticking as I’m leaving for home sweet home by end of Feb….another great news is I’m going for a final round to Poland before heading home…. Hmmm … all for work work work ! planning to visit the famous Auschwitz (detention camps during WWII - featured in Schindler's list the movie) and Salt Mine - underground city made of salts ! ....

So ShobShob…. Should I or Shouldn’t I ? ….

L’Occitane … A true story …

Just wanna share with you one of my latest best friend… yes… L’Occitane product range…. Thanks to Malaysia Airlines which introduced these wonderful products to me as a gifts…as the winter came in Frankfurt, my skin has been very dry until it itches and I started to scratched here and there until it bleeds … seriously it was that bad… so, I decided to try L’Occitane Hand Cream for dry skin…. True to it’s product description, it works wonderfully and my skin has fully recovered…no itches and bleeding anymore ! so, I kept on applying it to my skin ….and I noticed that my skin looks healthier than before …. I fully recommend this cream for you even if you’re not living in a low humidity climate country…. Hey ! forget about being macho whatsoever ….who said men can’t have their own “beauty products” ….from now on, I will take more care on my skin ! Can’t wait for my next visit to L’Occitane store …..

Here’s the pic of the cream and the product descriptions ….. I know it’s not so cheap, but it’s worth every penny….I’ve been using it for almost 2 months now, and still got half of the tube to go.


Description : "A super-smoothing--and best-selling--synergy of 20% Shea Butter, honey and sweet almond extract, blended with the light and alluring aromas of jasmine and ylang-ylang essences. Texturally pleasing balm glides on and absorbs to help heal and protect dry or dehydrated skin. Anti-oxidizing vitamin E helps nourish. Invites even the most hard-working hands to a fresh beginning.” – L’Occitane

And here’s a nice tip that I got from L’Occitane :

Tip : Hands "speak" your age--but not indelibly. Shea Butter is used traditionally by African woman to soothe and smooth skin exposed to Earth's fiercest ultraviolet conditions, and now can help relieve and restore yours. Massage this silky treatment into hands to counter dryness, retexturize skin and restore circulation. For best results, cleanse first with Softening Hand Scrub. Also try: Shea Butter Nail and Cuticle Cream.


how do I deal with my pimple scars, black and white heads? …. I still couldn’t find the right antidote for this one …sigh…. Somebody help me ! should I opt for plastic surgery ? huhu… drastic nyer !

It's been a while....

Yup.... it's been a while since I last penned my thoughts in this blog....malas agaknyer kot...anyway, updates from yours truly, I just got back from Bilbao, Spain... and it's a very beautiful city ! I'm glad my expectations was wrong about the city ....it's really really cool with all this fancy looking buildings ! unfortunately didn't get the chance to visit much the places as again I was there for work, work & work ! I'll upload the pics later okay ! didn't bring my Camera's USB cable today..... owh ya....i'm moving apartment this Wednesday ...quite sad to leave the old apartment ! ...but change is good ! till then y'all !

Here are some pics from one of my River cruise that I took with one of my dearest friend when she came over to Frankfurt....

Berlin…..

I went there last November with few of my friends… took a night train on Friday and arrived early morning on Saturday …. It was 6 hours journey from Frankfurt …we had a good sleep in the sleeping car and was fresh and bright to start our journey exploring Berlin…. One thing that you can notice is lots of constructions going on … saw cranes and scaffoldings everywhere….West Berlin is the most modern and hype while the East is a little bit rundown…you can see the differences are very significant …. We started our journey by visiting the famous Berlin wall…. Lots of painting on the walls, with messages from people from all over the world… gatal jek tangan nak menconteng jugak ! but we managed to refrain ourselves from committing vandalism ! see how nice I am ! ; P we had drinks in Hard Rock CafĂ© Berlin after dinner …bought 2 cool t-shirts …. the following days are all packed with visiting the ancient buildings and churches….I’m amazed of their attention to details on decorating the buildings…. and of course, as I’m currently collecting Starbucks Mugs added another Germany’s city Mug to my collections….. The best part was visiting the Berlin Museum….. as it was soooo big, we decided to split…me & my other friend was interested in the Egyptian Collection while the other group went to the Roman Collection wing….It was really an eye opener as I’ve never visited any Museum since I was a kid ….and also comparing the collections to our Museum …duh ….the Berlin Museum is the house to the original Queen Nefertiti bust dated 3000 yrs ago which I saw in National Geographic few months back…that was really cool ! seeing that bust…they described the Queen as a mature woman with a strong character judging from her features…..quite gorgeous too I would say..heheh…photo was a bit blurry as they don’t allow us to use flash in the museum…. their Greek Collection was also fantastic with a big bowl painted with images of Achilles dated few thousand years back…tetiba teringat cerita Troy plak …byk jugak pose pose amik gambar ….and it was in Autumn,… semua yellow jek and lots of beautiful shots…..how I wish I can make it to Louvre in Paris and the National Egyptian Museum in Cairo…..these have been in my traveling list for a quite long time … gotta go then …. Need to plan lots of trips with my best friends ! pack your bags guys !

Hmmm ….currently….it’s Samsonite Bags ! Seriously ! I don’t know what hit me…but I really do love their new range of Traveling Bags ! Recently I purchased a cabin bag from their Freeminder range….it’s really cool and stylo…siap ader sport rim beb the tyres ! Check out the pics ! nice eh ! I immediately fell in love with it at first sight and decided to add another laptop bag from the same range ! although I already have the Targus bag.. Now I’m eyeing the largest luggage bag …. we’ll wait and see …..I got cheaper prices as I kirim them from my colleague who was in New Delhi for an assignment…. It’s crazy cheap ! good bargain I tell you ! Samsonite in India sells at RM 100 – RM 200 lower than other countries… don’t ask me why just check it out when you happen to be in New Delhi….. I was there once but didn’t manage to buy any Samsonites over there…sigh….so later then ! can’t wait for the latest addition to my traveling bags ! (dah start berangan dah carrying the bag for my overdue Bali trip !)

P/s : Apple just launched their new Iphone ….. saw them yesterday on CNN….giler cool ! now I have to find excuses to change my Sony network w/man and my handphone …. ideas please !

Trip to Prague ....

2006 has past and marked significant changes in my life ... so, one of it is I got to travel around Europe ! so here's my story ....


My First Trip out of Frankfurt was Prague during last Summer ...it's a very beautiful city ...medieval are written all over the places... a must "been there .." destination in your travel lists ! Here are some of the Pics ....






Prague Castle - the largest ancient castle in the world. Dated back in 9th Century

Prague National Museum at night

We went there for a weekend... took a night train and arrived early Saturday morning in Prague.... note : do buy a couchette ticket (sleeping car) as you need all the sleep you can before you arrive in Prague.... as we stepped outside the railway station, lots of beautiful sceneries ...and of course being a tourist...we started snapping pictures .....we headed straight to the hotel however the rooms was not ready and decided to head to the Castle.... owh btw ...becareful when choosing the money changer .... they have various range of commissions.... so better ask few places before exchanging your money .... souvenirs are expensive as tourism is their main business over here .... advisable to rent a room with a kitchen as Halal food is difficult to find .... we're too lazy to cook ...so we just headed to any Chinese Restaurants which are surprisingly can be found everywhere.... and McDs are in every corner of the streets ! seriously ! the people here loves McDs....

so..gotta go to work work work ! ...later then ....


New Year Resolutions !

Yup, finally did it .... have my own blog.... so , i can cross one of my new year resolutions .... here goes nothing....
