Boxing day

Shopping IS tiring!
haha..
today i bought loads of things! much much better than least year's boxing day =)
I bought smart black pants, shirt, very very nice fitted blazer from topshop...Body Shop stuff..blue and brownish/gold sweater.
I feel so free to spend the money..taken into account that i just got paid from VUE yesterday.

Christmas this year was good =)
Me, Ninghan, Syah, and Yihlin travelled to Austria and Czeh (Prague) republic from 16-24 dec. I LOVE Prague! its soo pretty..and romantic...and cheap! Our trip was filled with hearty supper almost every single night =) we totally splurge on meals. Christmas markets everywhere, the best one are in Vienna. All the food stalls selling trodl "hollow bread" as yihlin named it..bratkartoffeln (nice salty garlicky potato pancakes)..boar meat & bread..gluhwein..langos! All the cutesy christmas decorations. Went to lots of cafes, Cafe Central in Vienna & Cafe Louvre in Prague were the best.. brown omelette pancakes with plum syrup, melted hot choc..heavenly.
Made a few friends along the way, mostly lone travellers..
Lots of long long walks around the city.. Bone church in kutna hora..so bony lol.

Salzburg is pretty..cold, but pretty. Saltmine and the Bavarian alps was cool..with the thick white fluffy snow..It was like a scene from Narnia.
Vienna is ok..nothing much special, but i love watching the horses being trained in the Spanish Riding School! awesome.very very highly skilled riders..
Prague is lovely! i wanna go back there again someday. Can see the castle..while walking across Charles Bridge in the evening. All the lights are so so pretty..reflected on the river.
It was a good, short, winter trip..a nice getaway from my normal, super busy london life. =)
I feel refreshed.

Ok from tomorrow, time to really start revising *sigh* =(
