终于到了时候...

Me here alone in my nealy emptied house....

Sad? Definitely! Sad that my 2 years holiday has to come to an end....

Happy? Slowly building up... More happy for Vin, cos his shitty job is finally coming to an end oso...:p

Very grateful for the gd times, and even more glad that the bad has past..

This line is a perfect summary for my feelings now:)

Nearly 80% done. Will pack in the big stuff tonite. So i bet this will b my last entry till i reach home:)

So wat has been happening for the past 3weeks?

1) Went Barcelona and Andorra with C and her dad. 
Quite a smooth drive. 1 of my furthest so far:) Din quite like the mountain roads:p At least we came back safe and sound BUT broke! hohoho... Though he wud rather we ve saved the money, Vin agreed to the trip cos he knows I really wana to go Barcelona to take a look. So jus nice it is the summer sales now, so he even allowed me to do plenty of shoppg!

But of cse, I can't "bite the hands tat feed me", so i tried to *minimise* the losses..Hohoho.. Mango was really worth it in Andorra, esp with the sales. Somemore I so fat, so as usual, the bigger ends of the range is avaliable for me to ki-yok! Jus tried not tob 'demoralised" by the big numbers taile:p hahaha...
Zara was under reno in Ando, Barcelona got quite a few but we had no time to shop. But the things there r relatively cheaper, since their taxes r lower ( Andorra, not at all)  and the fact tat there's even up to 70% sales:)

Damages for the whole trip?
1 pair shoes, 1 brooch, 1 jeans, 1 skirt, 1 dress, 2 3/4pants, 1 beach wrap, 3 blouses. hohoho..

Vin? 1 Zara belt.

Man and woman! haha..

Interestingly, both the cities really has the feel of Sgpore! Mb it's partly cos of the warm and humid weather:p  So i was telling Vin tat this is a "warm up" trip to the hustle and bustle back home:) 

It's the 1st time I ate paella( yummy), and grabbed the chance to order Sangria for every diner:p  Lucky for us, the weather was quite cloudy when we were there. Hot and stuff at times, but at least not burning! Imagine at Cacasone, it was 44 degrees! 

It was my 1st time oso taking those no roof tour bus:) Gaudi sure did Barcelona a very big favour. We only manage to visit the church and the park. If only we can spare a few days more to visit the museums too. I'm so glad we made it there:)

2) Summers sales
This yr i very guai cos I know I've been spending really big money for the past 1 mth+...The Italy trip, the rabbits tix, and the Barcelona trip. So definitely, i've to auto-cut down. French maid is very poor one leh:o Her Master is even poorer now:p hahaha...

But yet, can't help to "poloso" myself tat this is gona tob my last time.....So, i still got myself a very nice pink dress, a belt, a vest, 2 skirts, 2 tops, 1 shoes:p All for abt S$120:p Yeah!

And also, went to my last Sunday Mkt in La Teste yday.. Again, with compliments from Vin, cos he wud seriously rather save the $$ and spent the time to pack away:p So i happily got myself, 1 swim suit, I bikinis, 2 dresses, and 1 bag. It's really the last of the last liao:p

3)Rabbits
Long story so jus bear with me...:p
--Went there 1 hr early ( b4 the 2hrs early check-in) and still nearly miss the flight---> All b'cos of the stupid woman who was doing the registering dili dali's attitude!
--Olady mafan the interpretor to make several enquires weeks b4. Finally we reserved *cage for a big enof "dog-transporter" quoted for 450euros---->Yet, cos the handbook din ve the picture of such cage for the rabbits, so the idioit woman was initially v v v v ''ee...hm...aa'', as if she's like NOT gg to let us pass. Until, her boss came down and pointed her to the 1 line which states that this type of plastic dog transporter is also good. Then she went "oh ya oh ya" 他妈的! Stupid woman. 

And guess wat?! She quoted us 730euros! We were like, HUH!! Wat the h*** is this? Then she went "It's not me...It's the computer system, blablabla..." Until, we got our interpretor to speak to her abt our previous reservation, then she "oh, it's possible..." Then she came back with the price 420euros. At the end,  she even dare to have the cheeks to ask us tob "grateful" to her for making the chances! GANASAI!!

And as usual, all the impossibles happen when u r overseas...

--The rabbits ve to transit at Paris. Poor them have to wait fr 3pm to 11pm for the connecting flight. Me of cse lagi more ganjiong! Had to wait for 28hrs b4 i could rec any news fr my sis. Yet to my horror, the dispatch guy said there were no labbits on board at all!!! Again, called interpretor, who then called Air France, to find out wat happened. Initially they din even know where the rabbits were! Then they found out tat there was this kind soul who din want them tob cooked in the hangar of 50 degrees! So he placed them in the aircon room...So he KIND of also KINDLY forgot abt them...So shitted, my dispatch has to charge me again for coming the next day and I'll ve to wait for another 24hrs...

And guess wat again? Cos their flight were supposed tob on the previous day, so their original paperwork MIGHT ve been sent to Sgp liao. So when the rabbits finally touched down on the 20th, they were totally illegal immigrants!!! And can't even leave the check pt! So again, i had to make so many international phone calls jus to explain to the customs,AVA pple, Air France Cargo, my dispatch guy and to ask the interpretors to find out wat has happened on the French side. 

And as usual, French say go liao, Sgp say, dun ve. Then cos the involved shift is not on duty until the nex day, so there's no way anyone wud know wat has happened to the originals...I oso dun y it took them 3hrs!!! b4 they could "break the rules" to refer to the photocopied ones taped on thier cage so tat they can at least leave the check-pt!!!! Talk abt red-tapes in Sgp man! 

But cos there's still no original, so my rabbits gana detained, me ve to pay for the detention and to pay the dispatch to come bac the nex day to pick them up. Luckily, AVA allowed the rabbits to go since they recognised tat it's Air France fault tat their original documents were lost. So where's the original now? God knows!

Talk abt 劳命伤财 man!

The rabbits shld b fine now. At least my sis told me tat they eat and shit everywhere. Thank god!

Voila! Tat's aga wat's happened for the past 3 weeks. Some 3 weeks huh?:p

So, hopefully when I'm bac, i'll still ve the time, mood, blablabla, to continue yakking..:p I really nv am a PC person:p 

Thank you all for reading and showing concerns to all the gd and bad tat had happened for the past 1 yrs+. Esp to fellow "french wives" who ve generously showered me with ur friendships. And of cse, to my "SH wife", C:) Can't imagine hw these times wud ve passed if not for all of u:) Again, xiexie xiexie!

Till my boxes arrive in 2-3mths' time, wishing all of u well and great! Catchya soon!

好好保重!

后会有期!
