It's been a week. The post Turkey syndrome still lingers. The memories of Ephesus & Cappadocia remains vivid. This has got to be the best trip so far! Worth EVERY single penny I burnt! I mean, Bali & Australia is nice too...but Turkey is the furthest, the first really long-haul flight (12 hours!) & the first time I was away from home for long (10 days!).
In those 10 days, I seen & stayed in the mountains area, valley, beach resort, hot springs, boutique hotel & a cosmopolitan city. Watched a soccer match (Fenerbahce vs Chelsea), indulged in intestines soup (kindly forced by Enis), went for hot air ballooning (BEST!), clubbing in Istanbul (Enis took us around & also to celebrate Frankie's birthday, Turkish style!) & settled for a movie on our last day to kill time. I don't remember doing soooo many things in 10 days. Even Liah agreed!
Oh, another wonderful memory of the trip: Liah forgot to bring her pyjamas. So I leave to your imagination on how she sleeps at night during the trip. Hahaha!
So people, I uploaded MOST of the pics to my Multiply account, as it's the most..convenient? But other than that, my Multiply account is dead. Enjoy the pics...:)

Off to Turkey!
FINALLY. The most talked about topic between me & Liah. The first big vacation for me this year. THE one that I splurged (it still hurts a lil) my bonus on. And, THE most important of it all: I am sooooo gonna enjoy myself. Haha...My holiday destination to...TURKEY.
It was quite tough larr...choosing the right place to go. Well, we have to consider the weather (we want cold but not freezing), the budget (we are ordinary working adults after all), the time (given the current nature of our jobs, we can't take leave in certain part of the year) and our interest (lucky me & Liah has similiar taste!). After our Australia trip together last year, we talked & dreamt of going to Barcelona or Rome next. Alas...it was rather a short notice for me & her to really save THAT much of a money, we came to a point to go to Turkey instead. Not implying that Turkey is cheap, but for the number of days we are going, it's definitely worth it. For now. Insyallah, I still wanna go to Europe Europe sometime. (Damn...Sze Luan is going in May & she didn't tell me earlier!)
Heh...my colleagues & friends are more excited than me. They been asking if I finished packing, if I have enough cold wear & of course, the most frequent remark: "Turkish men are good looking! Bring some home!". Like they are some kinda Turkish delights. Oh well...I am looking forward more to the historic sights & culture.
It was Maria's birthday party last week. I know I am suppossed to upload the pics! Geez...I'll do it when I come back? Sorry Suliana! Been busy larr. With work & all the crap in the world.
Anyway, I'll be back only on the 14th April. Need to get back to packing now (Last minute packing brings excitement!). Take care peeps. Spring season is kicking in in Turkey! Yummy~
