why the funny title? Cos’ I was in Hong Kong and Macau. All we have done, is buy and eat…buy and eat. Apart from the Sales Review session, we are practically eating ourselves “FAT”…..

Short stay of 5 days and I’ve put on kilos…. can’t imagine. :( Here are some shots taken from the trip.

since I last went to a chalet. I am talking about YEARS! Reminiscing the time in our teens, where going chalet, overnight, barbecue, ghost stories….. Honestly, this has to be the worst unplanned chalet that I’ve got myself into. It’s suppose to be a chalet which my eldest brother and his family to spend their quality time. While, I am looking for a venue to have a mini birthday party for Seth. Really mini=family only party. Not too much to ask for right?

However, ALAS! Some issues cropped up and then we had the chalet to ourselves, with my eldest brother and his youngest daughter only. :( Nonetheless, the laid back feeling is great, shopping for bbq, thrilling! (ya, ya… as if I still have energy to really think of the food to prepare) The sad part of it, I have to get to work tomorrow morning, have a presentation for customer and then half day afternoon off to prepare the bbq stuffs. short time, short party, head home and work on friday again. What a Chalet holiday it is. It’s a waste of such big CHALET (bungalow to me) that the occupants are not many, just the two kids running up and down the stairs, my god-daughter, burying herself with her assignment, yada yada stuffs from work and from her mom’s. Poor gal.

hope to be back giving some photoblog of the chalet. Also, will need to be working late again for work, and preparing the house for party tomorrow.

It’s been a good holiday for us, literally from the West to the East and down towards the South-East of USA. Love the time spent with the kids and Ed. Not forgetting our Bi yearly visit to Jesse’s. Quality time. I wish time would be slower and it’s always a pain to think the holiday is coming to an end. Was just talking to Jesse the other day that it seems only yesterday that we were just hastily planning where to go, and VOOMZ! the holiday and time spent just fly by in a twinkling of an eye.

Both kids had a fabulous time traveling and Grace is really cool taking flights as if it’s taking a car ride. Just sharing some of the photos from San Francisco and New York.

Being in New York, makes me feel so much as if we are in a movie. Even now, it’s so much easier to relate to Seth, the places we’ve visited. Like, “Seth, remember this place?” Seth’s all smiley and replied, “Yes! we’ve been there, New York!” Only if we could walk more and travelled to Manhattan. Nonetheless, the first experience in New York, the feel of the bustling city and the New Yorkers footsteps are quite an extraordinary one.

More updates coming up…. Hope your weekend be restful.

Trying the best to clear the work from home, the ORACLE system is getting on my nerves and I have to browse other internet sites, while waiting for it to load the configurations. Donkey minutes to do that. System really sucks.

Anyway, the hot topic now is AIR TRAVEL. Right, Especially with the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull Volcano. The standstill of air traffic control, airlines losses, hotels boom, passengers stranded for route and enroute to Europe.

Here are some sites for keeping abreast of the happenings if you are traveling to that part of the world, for planned business trips or for leisure.
Athens International Airport
Frankfurt Airport Flight Updates
Heathrow Airport
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport-Rome Airport
Paris Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport

Some awesome pictures taken from Eyjafjhallajokull area.

here’s some travel journal ideas to share if you are planning for on the road documentation. I’ve wanted to do mine for the past few trips but it’s really futile. Empty pages back home, if I ever try, i’ve only manage a page of words and no pictures to tell the story. I guess this trip, I’ll do more of it. Bring along my instax as well!

Shimelle Laine‘s Travel Journal

There’s an extensive tutorial of how the journal was made from here.

Ali’s version of Travel Journal

I really like the Amy Tangerine‘s free spirited type, especially good for less preparation to bind, and glue the pages. There’s one on Brazil and one on Boston-NYC trip. Her simple pre-trip prep:

1. make a little book before the trip
2. take along some supplies
3. glue stuff in as I go.

And if you are really really too busy for a self make travel journal, try this, buy it from Moleskine online. All that’s necessary to know about the city is in the book, it’s good for leisure or for business.

NYC-Moleskine

However, i especially love the Cahier Book from Moleskine. This would make a good Travel Journal. You can even alter the cover once you are home to touch up the journal.

So, let me not be ambitious, my road trip will then be pack as follow (hope I will document faithfully!)

1. Moleskine Cahier Large Notebook

2. Tape Glue

3. Mini staple kit

4. Mini one hole puncher  

5. Black pen/photo pen (acid-free)

6. Fuji Instax Camera (lots of film rolls)
