Still, like before, wont be mentioning details. Same reason: Forgotten their names and we've got photographs which speak thousand words. :D
But, highlights: Sceneries are oh-my-gosh-ly beautiful, super COLD!
It's so cold that when we walked out of Novotel and speak, there is mist. :D
But ok, gotta bathe now. (It's 2.30am in SG, 8pm plus in Rome)
Tired.

Morning call -- some weird music so I just sat on the bed and listened. :D
Dad came in to wake my sister and I up but I was alr up.
Details, pictures will do it al. (:
Today, generally, was kinda fun, quite energetic. (: Maybe, it's because today's a Sunday(?)(:
Ahhh.... Tomorrow's a aschool day for them... I wonder what'll be like... ^^ Miss them so much!

LAWLS. :D Bought quite some stuffs today. Wont mention what, cause we buy hings everyday! :D HAHAHA. Happy,cause there's free wi-fi here downstairs at their Coffee Shop! Hahaha (; Going down later again.
Today's dinner was alright for me. It's western(finally). It seems like the meals and etc are getting better and better starting from last niht. Maybe it's because of the quick adaptations of us(th whole) for this place, etc. Oh gosh, Im soeager and long to go back to SG! Miss the food and my bfs there!! Ahhh~! Miss them! ^^
29.10.09
Skipped breakfast cause spent the time sleeping. :D Others went up some mountain, leaving the 10 of us by ourselves at Luzern. (: Brunch, at MovenPick restaurent. Love it. It's awesome! And I'm talking about good services, food and environment. ^^ Even decorations and the food arrangement. Hahaha. Anw, continues with our free-and-easy journey. Fed swans and ducks. Oh, and some super greedy extra birds -.-" Hahaha.
Ohya, PLS BECAREFUL OF YOUR OWN BELONGINGS! Cause, my mother's wallet was ALMOST stolen by 4 pickpockets while taping me and my sis feeding the animals. Yeah, I know, scary right?
Pickpockets often go in groups. They're very very skilful. Very very very skilful and cunning. Hate them. But fortunately, my mother was quick. Thank god.
Cause she caught the girl(btw, it's 3 girls and 1 boy in the group) with her hand alr INSIDE my mother's bag!!
Then my mother yelled. We all froze. Even the passers-by stopped and see.
Then that girl retrieve back her hand immediately with her 3 other friends.
Then, finally, my mother checked her stuffs and found out that they got away with nothing while that idiotic 4 walked away "innoncently".
Aft that, we just quickly throw the remaining bread into the pond and left that place, still afraid after that incident. Heard splashes from behind us. ^^
Other details about today, wont be mentioning.
Bye! It's cold today. But will be even colder tomorrow as we're heading up to Snow Mountain. Okie, ciaos! (; Ohya, dinner was great and everyone's hyper! :D
30.10.09
Snow mountain. Freezing cold, or should I say, icy cold. Hahaha. Either ways, it's vcold. (:
Visited th Ice Palace and other cold places there. Ohya, we rode on trains to get up there. I suspect I've got mountain sickness. Cause aft coming down the montain, I feel sick -- Headaches and felt like vomiting. So, yeah, I 've got mountain sickness. Others, pictures. ^^ Sleepy.
31.10.09
Ohgosh, another snow mountain! But this time, cable cars. Yes, 3 times. As in, 3 transfers of different type of cable car rides. And this time round's even higher, which also means lower oxygen level and lower temperature.
So, when we reached the top, btw it's 3840m high, I thinnk, not sure, but anw, didnt go out to the outoors with the others but went up tp the cafe there with my mother and Aunty Dolie, another lady from our crew. She wants us to call her Aunty Dolie. She's like my Gugu and she's also very very friendly. ^^
Bought some hot beverages to warm ourselves. Not long after, dad and sister joined us from the outside. They took pictures there with people from all walks of life skiing and playing with real snow. (:
Anyways, we, as in my family of 4 and Aunty Dolie and her husband, took the same route uo down the Snow Mountain, back to our hotel.
Met a Korean family. Had fun with them. The little boy preferred to be friends with me than my sis. I think it's plainly because my sis's scaring them by speaking Korean to them in a distance, everytime they're near. Plus,it's not those normal tone of voice but like (no offence)ghost-y type. HAHAH!
Once back in the hotel, used their free com infront of their mini bar table. ^^ Dinner, in the hotel itself.
31.10.09
LOLS! Almost all the hotels' toilets do not have locks! :D Haha, breakfast -- cereal, again. Haha, always having cereal for breakfast for me. (: Anw, today's special. We got sick and tired of their standard breakfasts so we bought LOTS of cup noodles and had them istead of the usuals -- scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, bacon, ham, fruits, yogurt(omg, it doesnt even taste close to YAMIyogurt! :/) Haha.
Today's the day of kinda-long-journeys day. Hours, but there are toilet stops at several gas stations. So, no worries.
Reached Geneva, etc. And now, in France! :D Tomorrow going Paris. (YESH! Finally!) but the journey's 3 1/2 hours! Oh well.
Great! There's a free com downstairs(lobby), in front of the reception. Yes! Haha.
But, I bet the time Im using, you guys are already in school, still sleeping, or on the way to school. But(again, 'but's. :D), nevermind, it's alright, it's ok. (: Ahh! I wanna watch This Is It!! :D
01.11.09
Yes! Finally left the 2nd biggest city in France and off we go to Paris! (: Used their free com a while only cause we gotta go on bus. So, very sorry to Sabrina and YikHeng who tried to cht with me but I didnt have the time. So sorry! ^.^
Moving on, ...
Visited the Eiffel Tower and other famous places today. Lunch was the so-so type. It's chinese lunch. :D Anw the bus/coach specially and additionally took us a small loop/trip around! [Thankyou very much, Lougi (or however his name's spelt. :) for bringing us around!)] ^^ Oh and through that, I knew alot of stuff with their local tour guide talking like an Indian(no offence but I seriously was laughing like crazy then! Actually I was giggling. (: Eternal bleeding. I even cried! Hahaha! :D)
I knew the location where Princess Diana had the tragic accident, the place where she had her last meal(at a hotel and take note, it's an exorbitant and high-standard hotel! :O), etc. Then pictures will tell you everything. Yipee! Free wi-fi downstairs!! :) Awww... I miss school !! Oh and most significantly,my bffs!! :D
02.11.09
Oooh... What an eventful day today was! (: Woke up at.... 8.20am in Paris time cause today is our free day. (Yesh!(") Chatted with Jslyn online. Aww, miss you guys so much too! (: Then after that chatted with Jenny and Nanny. Took pics with them cause my mother and Jenny got the same Prada bags, but made of different materials. Hahaha, they bought them from Milano. Anw, book a taxi. And it's super comfortabl! Cause it's Mercedes-Benz one. Hahaha, the driver's most likely coming from a humble household as he's dressed well and he looks like too. He got a Louis Vuitton car-key pouch and was wearing a long-sleeved Raulph Lauren. Hahaha ^^ And, the car's the latest model with 2 sunroofs and awesome bass! :O
Shopped with family. Even my daddy bought things!
Things bought:
Chanel classic bag, a pair of Chanel earrings, a Chanel wallet, Chanel diary(omg, my first Chanel! And it's a diary! :D My parents said I could use it for next year since it's next year's calender. ;D), 2 LV bags, 2 small LV pouches, 2 LV keychains, 1 S.T.Dupont scarf, a pair of S.T.Dupont gloves, 3 Paris-printed shirts and 1 Disney sleeveless shirt. Hahaha (:
Then took another cab back to our hotel. Hahaha. So yeah, everybody's happy today. (:
Dinner with sister -- cause not that hungry and parents and the others(all adults) were out for now to watch a show with the tour leader, David, w/o us as we're underage. Haha. Gonna use their free wi-fi again later, I think. Ciaos! (:
03.11.09
Watched their hotel teevee with sister til midnight plus last nigh. Hahaha! (: Anw, then met up with the 2 other tour members. They're very nice, humorous and friendly type wan. ^^ So, yeah, we (6 people) took a van(taxi) together to reach our destinations --us, to our new hotel and them, to Aerostar station for they are heading to London. (:
Used their free laptop for a while once we reached the hotel. Wha, this hotel (Hotel Chateau Frontenac) is very (well, 3/4, so mostly,) extravagant mans. Haha, cause it's beautiful designed and decorated. Dont get me started with their rooms! Ohmy, their rooms are huge and very very spacious with great facilities. In addition, it's designated at the cenre of the shopping destrict. (:O to the shoppers. Hahaha :D) And speaking of which, after ytd, I then realise and fully understood, what is called a Shopping Paradise. Hahaha, so maybe, just maybe when we got back to SG, we'll find them nothing, nothing at all. Haha! (:
Anw, after that, we went to Sandwich Bar to get ourselves a Persian sandwich (ham), 1 cup of coffee, 1 cup of tea and 1 cup hot chocolate.
By then, it was 12. Then we walked next door, to Disney store and bought tickets to Paris Disneyland for tomorrow, then we (finally) got a chance to sit on their train, aka our MRT After buying tickets, went through those metal bars. We rode on the train Metro trains. And off we go to the Glass Pyramid which houses many famous arts from famous people.
Highlights: Mona Lisa is behind a piece of glass in one of the rooms. Personally, I dont know find it any superb cause everyone's a metre away from itand only to take picures. So we cant walk from a side to the other to see the effect of her eyes. So, kinda disappointed.
After that, took more pictures. Sat their metro train back, but to Arc De Triouphe, which is near the avenue sth sth (shopping avenue, I call it. ^.^)
But was stopped by a group of talented street performers. And trust me, they're awesome! Bravo! Video taped their dance and even took photographs with them. They're super talented, friendly and funnayye. Hahaha, oh, they're very high too. :D
The croud, the atmosphere, it's good. (: Total money we gave them is over 10Euros !! :O But we all thought it's worth it cause it's like tips, and also, an encouragement to them to ... ya know, do better in doing whatever they're doing -- dancing. :D I mean, cause what they're doing (dancing) makes $, and, it's not illegal, so, why not? ^^
Stood there for more than 15 minutes, enjoying their performance then joined daddy at theother side of the road. Walked around~
Then went back our hotel for a short rest. Then , walked to another avenue, wait, another shopping avenue, but it's a rather higher-end area with bigger brands and restaurants. Ohya, thats the place where we bought our Chanels. The wind is merciless. Super cold. Went into Hermes, Christian Dior, etc then walked back for dinner.
Dinner -- Pizzeria. Full now. :D
Then walked back to our hotel.
Yesh! Going to Paris Disneylan tomorrow! Super excited! ;D
05.11.09
P:
Another eventful day today was! (:
Overall:
- Went into Paris Disneyland. (Had LOADS of fun! ^,^)
- Shopped around the Outlets Village thingy after sitting on trains and walked for miles. Hahaha.
Sad, wait no, it's disappointed, that I did not get the autographs, face-to-face session and one-to-one photo-taking with Chip&Dale! :O (Hahaha) But,was kinda satisfied, cause they were all on the huge parade cars, [I've seen it 4 times already, so yeah was boring (a little) after seeing 4 times. :D] Took pictures and video taped them. ^^ Bought quite alot of stuffs there after taking photographs from several characters like Mickey, Pooh, etc. (: I realised that from all the Disneylands that I've been, Paris's one is the most beautiful one. (: Now, my family left one more Disneyland to go -- Orlando. We've been to Tokyo's, Hong Kong's, America(California's) and Paris's, so maybe nex year's target is (also) America, but heading East,where Orlando is cated. Generally, it's kind of a good day for me. Maybe it's because it's 5th today P: (heheh). Alrighties. Ciaos!
Gonna help my sister and mother with th packings and stuff as we're leaving tomorrow. Yipee!! (As in 'Yipee!!' to the 'leaving tomorrow' part and not the 'packing' part. :D)
