My LifeJournal: 25 Dec 2009

It was my first Christmas in SG
after 2 years spending it overseas.

For the past few years,
every time when we travel out,
it was always during the Dec, Christmas period.
Well. It was for obvious reasons.
We wanted to see the snow!

2004 - Korea
2005 - Turkey
2007 - Switzerland, Europe
2008 - United Kingdom


Ahhh, yes. I am very blessed.
That, is something I know very well.

Anyhoots. I got to touch, lick,
walked through, grasped,
fisted, bask, rolled in the snow.
twice. Once in Turkey, Istanbul.
And another in Switzerland, Zurich.

And I hope I get to do the same,
in years to come. Insyaallah.

So the next few posts that come
after this, would show you how
I'd spent Christmas for the past
few years.


Enjoy

What I did on Christmas Day in London?
My family and I, we trekked around London.
It was serendipity.
The entire transportation was out of service for the day.
So we discovered beautiful London by foot.
We just kept on walking, breathing, appreciating London.
It was an amazing thing to be doing.
Trekking along the streets, not caring where we were going.
Of course eventually we did find our way back to
our apartment. Having scrumptious brunchner
at this halal-presumed diner at 4pm

Didn't manage to snap any pictures.
I was already hypoglycemic after walking
around and not having proper breakfast.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed it much.
And if I ever go London again,
I wished I'm with someone who would loves to
explore the country by foot and doesn't
interfere with my shopping plans.

Delicious.

What I did for Christmas in Turkey, Istanbul?
Well, it's been 4 years.
I really cannot remember.
I'm actually depending on the
photo details and these pictures
stated 25 Dec. Hence my assumption
on the things we did then.

Istanbul was fantastic as well.
The yummy food,
The interesting culture,
The gorgeous people.
Well it's the closest I've got to
being in a ME country.
Well not counting Saudi that is.

But I remember enjoying one trip.
To Bursa. The trip to that place
was excruciatingly long.
But it was worth it when I get
to eat the best custard looking thing.
It was beyond anything.

Love.
