We finally set foot in Italy yesterday, starting with a five-hour drive from Lucerne to reach Milan. We had a few minutes to take photos at Lake of Lucerne and we also fed the swans/ducks with bread that our tour leader stole from the hotel restaurant.  We also got to visit the lion monument (Löwendenkmal/Sleeping Lion) which pays ( Read more... )

visiting mount titlis was a lot more fun than jungfraujoch. we left interlaken about 8:20am and arrived in mt. titlis around 9am. the view was amazing! switzerland don't seem to be running out of mountains- everywhere you go they're full of them. weather was also beautiful- it was sunny and we had clear skies.

anyway, we had to ride three cable cars ( Read more... )

We just came back from going up the Top of Europe (aka Jungfraujoch) and it was mad tiring.  More on this later.

We arrived at Interlaken yesterday after a four-hour trip from Tasch. Apparently our bus captain made a wrong decision and we arrived at Interlaken probably an hour later than the ETA. Before making our way to Interlaken, ( Read more... )

There’s still a 13-hour flight to endure, gosh I hate long-haul flights. The thing that scares me about flying is being stuck on a plane mid-air. I feel ( Read more... )

woooo... joel and i had a long break from badminton and totally lost our groove! we played at tan tock seng from 2-7pm and we sucked. :(

it was quite a fun and knowledgeable day, we had lunch with grant and he was nice enough to let us pick his brains about investments. because at our age, we should start saving for our future. joel and i are ( Read more... )

our schengen visas got approved yesterday and joel collected our passports with them shiny stickies. one down and another to go- we went this morning to embassy of switzerland (spiffy office, i must add) to submit our application. well they didn't give us a hard time, although i had to make another trip back since joel's schengen visa had a typo ( Read more... )

woohoo! three things to post about:

1. work sucked ass today. it was unbelievably busy - all my patients showed up *gasp*! i had no time to slack... i didn't even get to read today's paper. anyway, the good thing about today was a product audiologist sat with me during ABR/ASSR testing just to check on our machine's parameters and see if i was doing ( Read more... )
