Sydney & Melbourne in 6 days

Just when I thought I'll be having a 'holiday drought' till next year, we booked ourselves a trip to Aussie, an extension of Mr. Grumpy's work trip. He was to be in Sydney for 2 days and since he's never been there and he agreed I could tag along, I thought why not turning it into a mini holiday. I've been to Melbourne twice and Sydney once and have preferred the former so we agreed we should fly over to Melbourne. Chances of us doing a separate trip are low so might as well make the best out of it.  Anyway, we flew in separately and that was the longest flight I've been on my own. Other than having a rather rude or should I say ignorant lady beside me and a bumpy landing, the flight was fine. Spent day 1 on my own shopping. Couldn't resist a shot of the pretty flowers.   It was chilly that day and luckily I threw in two long sleeves top and a sweater before I left. The wind was so strong I thought I could be blown away! If I'm no...

2 weeks in a nutshell

So since I last came back from Australia, I've been busy - what's new right? Received bad news the night I landed - granny of my dear friend passed away a week after her dad passed on. I can't even imagine... The next day, we watched Thor which in my opinion, doesn't beat the first one, for free; went all the way to Jcube for dinner with the in-laws and I ended the night at the funeral wake. Staying till midnight resulted in a very tired Monday. But sometimes you just gotta do what you have to do. The week started with everything Lifetime as we prepared for the launch in Indonesia, our new baby. It's not exactly new but it's gonna join the other 3 markets to be on the important list, together with Thailand. If only I can take care of Thailand... I miss Bangkok! Helped out at the funeral on Wednesday, met up with the Poly friends on Friday and dinner with the girls on Saturday. A very fulfilling week for me as I usually spend my weekend in front of the TV...
