.: Busy week :.

this week was a real busy one indeed! going out almost everyday ever since i came back!

went to watch the performance of Xinyi! her 'the Right Step' ballet performance! what can i say. thier footwork and movement are just almost perfect (at least to me) and the way they dance and strut their way across the stage as if they are floating was a nice sight! Of course, BRAVO Xinyi! never really see her dance except in school but this performance had definitely brought a whole new meaning of 'ballet' to me :)

Also, went out with Elizabeth, Yvonne and Gino before everything started. Walked in Marina Square and then watched 'Enchanted'! it is a great show i must say! One that I really liked watching even after it ended! the songs are so catchy and nice that we started humming and singing them slightly after the show ended. It has also been a long time since we 4 went out and it was indeed fun! The transport home after the ballet performance was disaster by the way. Who would have thought it would take us 2 hours to get home because of the bad transport or rather bad luck with Taxis at that part of the day.

Now, its time to upload the pictures of my Eastern Europe trip... but before that, take a look at the facts stated below :)

Some fun facts that i found out while I was there were
1) Never be surprised seeing girls which are 1-2 head taller then you over that because half of their female population are so.
2) Dogs are allowed to go shopping INTO the shops with their owners! so a dog might just come sniffing your toes when your trying a shoe out! haha
3) Most of their eyes are stunning blue and its nice to see so many people with such eyes/ especially when you do not get that in Asian countries or in Singapore for that matter! haha
4) Shops close at 5pm during winter (all should know this)
5) Even guys in good looking suits might be a pickpocket! BE CAREFUL!

Okay! Picture time! [ Took 900+ pictures but could only show some. And so sorry that some are collaged and resized! if you guys wanna see the actual picture I can send you guys. and also, the collages are in my friendster account (http://www.friendster.com/viewphotos.php) so do visit there if u wanna see a better picture!

Interesting notice! Guess their meanings!

The gate to hell in the Concentration Camp. The words on the gate mean 'Work for freedom' which was apparently very untrue!

The saddest and most impactful picture - caption reads "on the way to death" showing children
