My 3rd big holiday of year 2011 - to Spain & Portugal. To be exact, Spain. Cos we only spent 1 night at Portugal. Generally a very slow paced and relaxing trip. Slept a lot - to my luxury, especially on the coach journeys. Ate a lot too (sigh) - thats why I hit the gym this morning (and coincidentally met AJK there)

Ok here goes the peekkssss ... :)

Traveling wif my family - minus my bro JR. It's only ever since I stopped working for my dad that I can have this luxury of holiday-ing wif my parents. And it's only at times like these when I spend a great deal of time (and quarreling) with dad too.. There was this dinner that I quarreled with him. We didnt even care that the rest of the tour group people were looking at us. Ended up the tour guide came over with the pretext to "toast" us..

My dad is a majestic person. To me, he's someone whom I can never outtalk him. Never. It's a good thing that I stopped working for his company - thats why we still can maintain this father&daughter relationship. Anyways... (sigh)

My 1st ever Europe trip. Alot of visiting to churches and cathedrals. I hear the story of Jesus everyday - his reborn, power & influence. The tour guide even screened the movie "Passion of the Christ"...

There was this cathedral that I visited. It was said that there were 3 bombs dropped on it, and yet somehow they all got stuck on the roof, ie. they did not explode. The 3 bombs were displayed in the cathedral, with the embedded holes in the ceiling for visitors to view.. They say it was him who protected the cathedral...

I seriously lost count of how many churches/cathedrals we went during this trip. Gothic church even, to the extent that I couldn't differentiate which was which, and what was what.

However, I gotta admit, the interiors were awe-aspiring..

Sipping mocha in the city. A day of R&R.

@ Barcelona. MIssed the bull ring fight and the flamingo dance show! :(

Porcelain was a common sight.

Me and bro. I'm so short, standing beside him...

Some of my personal favs...

In the city of Toledo

With Barcelona behind mum and me...

Over-exposed @ the most western point of Europe - Lisbon.

Viewing the sunset @ Alicante.

When's my next big holiday?

Yayyy. Went on a 4D3N BKK trip with the NTU peeps! I must say, I'm glad I did not insist on postponing/canceling the trip. Phew. The media and government totally exaggerated the whole flood situation in BKK. It was TOTALLY dry over there at BKK and it was scorching hot lahhh!

Anyway, we stayed at this place named Mac Boutique Hotel - not too bad an apartment for the 5 of us!

Greetings from Mac Boutique Hotel!

The 5 of us. We even managed to squeeze into one tuk-tuk together!

Forget about whatever disease/ unhygienic food. We still ate at street stalls!

Standing atop of the sand bags!

Went for massage everyday. Cheap cheap!

Woohoooo.

Alrighty. Looks forward to the next trip wif the peeps. Off to Spain & Portugal!

SIgning Off.. xoxo :)

I'm safely back in SG. Alaska had reported of earthquakes a few days ago, and I've had a few friends calling/msging me asking me if I'm really back in SG. Yay. I've got nice friends around me. The best statement I've got was... "Goes to show God still loves you...".

Anyways, yup I've got my photos up here in my entry. For more photos, pls refer to my FB.

Finally touched down @ Vancouver after a 4 hr flight to HK + 2 hr stopover @ HK + 12 hr flt to Vancouver. *My poor back and legs*

@ Portage Glacier Daylodge.

Some nice scenery pics taken on the cruise.

1st stop - Juneau.
