12 days and 9 nights in Anatolia
If you are wondering where is Anatolia, thats actually Turkey! Yeah, in ancient times, Turkey is called Anatolia. It is 1:41am in the morning and I am not feeling the least tired. I have to attend a wedding at JB tomorrow and the meeting time is 10am which is 4am in Turkey time! I dont know I am going to do it. Haha! If I am in Turkey now, it will be like 7pm lor and I will be waiting for dinner to be served! Turkey is a beautiful country and guess what, I actually see snow for the first time of my life there and I was like a kid, hmmm, really thinking to stuck out my tongue and taste it. =p
Ok, this was an entry which I was supposed to do before I leave for Turkey but... =) I am doing it now!
I am still grumbling to everyone I see that I met this stupid travel consultant and he told me thermal wear is not needed!!! My fooooot!!! It was SNOWING and thermal wear is not needed?!Everyone is like so equipped heh heh, and my luggage was the smallest of them allllll...
 And I tried to like start packing 1 week before! Hey, even if I took out 1 top per day, it is still STARTING to pack ok...Hahaa, also because the last weekend that we were in Singapore, it was a very packed one.
 This is my first luggage in my whole life. I am such cheapo, I always borrow luggages when I go abroad. =p Hahaha, ok, this is a FREE luggage. UOB rewarded me. =)
 This is what it has become. It is mine, remember?
 And this is my camera, proudly sponsored by Mr. Ng.
 And...this is what it has become. It is mine, remember? =)
 This camera is good stuff!!! No, dont ask me why didnt I get the pink one although it is pretty because I am seriously abit sick of my phone now. Black is good and there is no red. It is touch screen and it is super sleek and nice! I can even write notes on it!!! Yes, a typical photo that I take after I scribbled on it looks like this:
 Kua kua kua, in that way, I can remember exactly what did I take and not to mention that it has super many functions!!! I am still trying to learn. =) Thank you baby!!! Heee heee...
Speaking of which, he also think I am totally imposible because this is the scene you see at his front seats. =x
 Thats my papillllllos, sandals and wedges. =p I like to change shoes wherever I go. =x So I have no place to put my feet when I am in the car. =x I cleared them all already lah by putting them in the boot =x Wahahahaha!!! =) I know you still love me. HAHAHAH!!! Speaking of which, he also think I am very heartless because I left this behind in Feronya Hotel in Istanbul on the very last day.
 Speaking of which which, you do know that Istanbul is not the capital of Turkey right? Ankara is. =) Those butterflies were sewn on by my mummy, the original design wasnt like this and I modified it.
 Unfortunately the skin has cracked and it has become quite disgusting if you look at it closely. The fortunate thing is because it is very light in colour, you cannot really see the cracks and my next pair of boots is going to be light in colour. I will definitely remember you, I really feel weird leaving you behind but my luggage was bursting and I really have no more space plus I dont think it can tahan for long.
I actually brought this at SHanghai when it was on sale. I set my eyes on a pair of heels which was over my budget and I bargained for this pair. It was walked me through the streets of SHanghai,
 ...Suzhou,
 ...Taiwan...
 and of course, its last stop, Turkey...
 It has brought me so much warmth but but time to move on. =x HAHAHAHA!!! I guess I will get my next pair when I go for my next holiday. HAHAHAH!!! I saw this leather pair at Adidas in Turkey and it was so nice but way beyond my budget although it is on sale. Ok, I better stop, I am starting to regret it already. It is only price, argh, when do you get a chance to go Istanbul to buy a pair of leather boots from Adidas, Arrrrghhhh, I should have just take it when Mr. Ng said he is getting it for me. There is no way you can get it in Singapore because the boots that Singapore Adidas sell is horrible! Booohooo, Mr. Ng is now trying to comfort me.
And heng arrrr, he made me go back and got me this ZARA Xiao Long Bao.
 Hahaha, really look like Xiao Long bao right? ZARA really charge exorbitant prices for the bag which is why I comtemplated for quite awhile but Mr. Ng just bought me back and got me the bag! =) Its all worth it now because it is from Turkey and a present from Mr. Ng!!! Kua kua kua, Mr. Ng said I is high maintenance, =x
Guess what, its 3am and I seriously think I should really try and get some sleep. 2 siao kias is like still living in Turkey and treating now like its 9pm and I am feeling alil hungry because my body tells me I missed my dinner. Yeah, 2 siao kias feeling super alert and awake. Hahaha, we wanted to catch a movie at 1pm today but guess what, we slept till 1+ waking, thinking its only 9+. I feel so tired trying to force myself to wake, only to realise its 1pm!
 So, I will go try and get some sleep and before that I am showing you one of the beauties of Turkey.
 Yeah, leave my fat face alone. Check that handsome beside, he was so nice and smiley trying to peer through the chairs to look at me. Was it that Mickey Mouse bag at work? Haha, that bag is really worth the money, I wonder if Disneyland still produces it. If you are going to Hong Kong, hee hee, help me see ok? In case, it got worn out like that pair of boots, it is good to have backups. =p
Wherever I go in Turkey, I am that alien surrounded by Caucasians look-alike Turks. People were staring at me and asking to take a picture with me. Yeah, Asians are quite rare there and usually only the Koreans or the Japs visit them so wherever I go, I hear Konichiwa by the friendly Turks.
Yeah, work is on Monday. 103 emails unread, gonna start working and try to mend that big hole that Turkey did to my pocket. Mr. Ng is still having his holidays while trying to mend his pocket, yeah all that love for his Love doesnt come cheap. =x He only have 20% of his US money left, muahaha... Ok, I promise to upload as many pictures as I can this time round. (as usual) Nights!!! (Mr. Ng is asking me to go sleep now, haha) Labels: vacation
JOanne thought hard on 1:32:00 AM.
