Turkey..it's a place that seems so exotic and myseterious to me since young. I wanted to visit it when I was doing my exchange in Switzerland but it's too expensive to travel there~ I've marked it on my world map too!!! And now I can officially change it to pink colour to show that I have been there before~~~ Wheee!! but 10 days is really long and i miss all of u very much!!! probably cos the families are all in even numbers bah..everyone has someone to accompany them..sibling or spouse..except me..boohoo. i suppose i should be used to that since it's the same case whenever i have dinner out with my family. no one sitting opposite me. =( my mom asked me to look for a bf faster..hahahaha..whatever~~~

Well, the scenery is beautiful..as expected. And there's rich history in every city which makes it more interesting. I dunno how to describe it..cos there's only one word: amazing. Perhaps the photos would do a better job of expressing how I feel about the scenery there. As for the food, the rice is damn bloody nice! They cooked it with olive oil and butter~ i miss the rice there la..but the food is repetitive for lunch and dinner everyday and we got so sick of it. Chinese food on the last day was a welcoming sight..haha..oh! and all of u should go to Turkey! u would feel so beautiful there cos guys would hit on u all the time especially in Istanbul and the kids there are cuteeee~~~ Oh! How could i forget this??? on the flight there..there's this air steward who looked like Jake Gyllenhaal!! omg~~~ have u ever seen Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie Jarhead? well, he's exactly like him in that movie!!! *swoon* hahahaha..and do u watch 'One Tree Hill'? there's another air steward who looks like James Lafferty~~~ omg! all the eye candies on the 12 hour flight there~~ this gave me a very good first impression of Turkey already! hahahaa..yeahh..bet u can feel the bimbotic vibe wherever u are reading this post from.. =P hmm..retail therapy isn't that good there. i don't understand..their standard of living is lower than us yet the cost of living is so high! they must have high salary..their currency is in fact stronger than ours! how can that be??? must be the transition into EU giving them such illusions that their standard of living is actually really high..haha..

sigh..but there are things along the way in Turkey that brought back memories..bittersweet memories..reminiscence..nolstagia..certain things that reminded me of the times spent in Switzerland and that guy (yessss..when will i stop missing those times?? i've been asking myself this question countless of times..still no answer for myself yet). as i forgot to bring a book to read on the road..i could only write. write about the sites we have visited and the facts and history about it..write about my feelings from the trip and how i'm being reminded of certain things. it's ridiculous how those small things which we came across during the trip could remind me so much! like the mountains? they remind me of Switzerland and Mount Saentis..and Migros!!! all those grocery shopping..used to frequent it so often~ CNN, skiing, beard, eye, Ephesus, heater, wrinkles, stars..like some coded language hor? haha..yeahh..all these would be linked back to those times..想念一个人是多么的凄美。。。

so near yet so far..how i wish i can go back to spain, italy and switzerland again. but yet..my next stop should be Asia and South America. heh..but i need money desperately to travel..yet i don't feel like working. life is so contradicting. i still feel restless even though i've just come back from travelling..i really dunno what i want to do..=( Christmas is just round the corner. yeah..i like x'mas..but not when it can remind me of him again! hahaha..i think i'm too good at linking la..even christmas can be associated with him! yeah..that's cos i see his name everywhere! nope..his name isn't Santa Claus..it's in the word 'Christmas'. hahahaha..lame..

gotta think of what to buy for the gift exchange..hahaha..no vouchers allowed wor~ =P i think i spoiled the market last year by buying voucher..heh..this year i will try to buy something nice bah..hee..=)
