TOML - Merde In Schiphol.


Thanks to KLM, we got an additional night stay in Schiphol, Holland. Not that we wanted to. I couldn't wait to get over with the 12-hour flight, get back to Singapore at 3.30 pm in the afternoon, just in time for the National Day Parade. Unfortunately, all plans turned to smoke. Our flight was delayed for 12 hours due to "technical faults in the plane". So we could only reach at 3.15 am in the morning after National Day.

I guess this didn't come as a surprise. I heard that KLM is notorious for delay flights. Perhaps when you have a large fleet with so many routes and flights, delays will occur more often?

For the delay, KLM gave us a complimentary one night hotel stay with dinner and breakfast. Technically, we were known as stranded passengers.


They were so nice to include a calling card as well. Notice its for five minutes! Woohoo! If you use 10 secs per call, you can make 30 calls!!! Hmmm...


They also gave us a toiletries pack with tee shirt and socks. No smelly feet!


Hmmm it'll be better if there are shorts and underwear?

Anyway I am just glad to finally reached home safely! We flew back in the Chichen-Itza Boeing 777-200. Home Sweet Home for real!


And I guess it'll be another hour or so before I get back to office for work. TGIF! Get ready for the souvenirs folks. Gotta go do my unpacking now! =)

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Shopping for Perfume.

If you want to buy original but cheaper perfume in Singapore, you'd probably go to Lucky Plaza . You can bargain at the perfume shops in Lucky Plaza which is the exact reason why anyone would wanna shop at Lucky Plaza. I went there with a friend to shop for some perfume this afternoon. It was a shopping experience I never had before in Singapore. As a matter of fact, never before in my life or anywhere in the world. I usually visit the two shops near McDonald's . Today we decided check out another shop since we had walked from the "Lucky Plaza - Ngee Ann City underpass". We had in mind one of the brand we wanted. So after asking the price, we looked for the 2nd bottle of brand, but at a lower budget. We tested three, can't decide and asked for recommendation from the boss, an Indian lady (not being racist, its just the fact it happened to be an Indian shop). She showed me a black face (no pun intended! heh ) and said my budget was too low. She probably wasn'...

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...
