Day 7 (29 Dec)- Lourdes, Nice
Some ppl woke up really really early to attend the church service at the same church.. while the rest of us went there a little later (since it was walking distance from the hotel).. just walk around and took photos there.. cause we couldnt the night before judging by the amount of light there was.. lol.. but didnt hav much time to explore la.. had to rush back to the hotel.. to start on our 10 hr bus ride to Nice..
Goodbye Spain and Hello France! arrived at nice and it was already v dark.. checked into the hotel.. ate dinner.. and some of us decided to go walk around the city square..
Nice Toile

wanted to play poker tt night.. but everyone was dead tired already D: so SLEEP :D
Day 8 (30 Dec)- Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Nice
First off! we went to
Cannes! it was supposed to be a place famous for film festivals.. but they just look like ordinary buildings to me =.=.. probably cause we could only see the exterior..
with lots of cute little kids playing around the staircase xD.. some of us went shopping and looking at the sea full of yachts.. while waiting for the rest to finish their tram ride.. nth much actually..
mickey's handprints on the floor!
CUTE LITTLE BOY :D
beach around tt area..
yachts!
funfair! which i think was for christmas!
Went back to nice to enjoy some good food.. WHERE RAYMOND AND DITTO WERE BUSY GAYING WITH EACH OTHER =.=.. cause we couldnt finish our dishes.. quotes raymond 'DITTO! I FEED YOU xD' lol wth!.. victor even better la.. 'HERE COMES THE CHOO CHOO TRAIN'.. !?!? so sad tt the pictures we took of them were super blur.. and there was this convo abt ppl in africa.. and everytime we talk abt it.. ditto will start eating one chunk of fish xD HAHAHAH..
so we headed off to this perfume factory place.. the smell was really strong.. they showed us around on how the perfumes are being made and all.. and this is the only picture i managed to take there! =p LOLL.. i have no idea how the guys managed to put it there without him knowing it =p.. omg lets just pray hard tt patrick doesnt come here.. otherwise I"LL BE SO DEAD IF HE KNOWS TT I TOOK A PICTURE OF HIM WITHOUT TELLING HIM ABT THE PIECES OF PAPER BEHIND =p
headed off to
Monte Carlo after tt.. its at the top of the hill.. went to a church where the royal families' tombs were.. paiseh i cant rmb the names also =p.. and took photos of the city again..
went down tt hill to go to the CASINO!!
which victor was trying to get past by showing his fake ID lol it was the first casino to be built in europe.. my family didnt go in though.. so we just walked around the area.. where they were selling branded goods..
looks super grand eh.. and the cars there were WOAHHH.. saw sooo many sports cars.. lambourginis.. when ppl walk past.. their heads will all turn towards random cars de..LOL.. im serious! not exaggerating!
the v pink shop!
christmas tree which changes colour :D so stupid lor.. i wanted to take with it when it turns pink! but failed! by the time my sis set up the cam.. its too late D: rawrrr.. the tree is actually v big though.. it probably looks small cause we were quite far away from it.. lol..
Day 9 (31 Dec)- Nice, Seravalle, Milan
Took abt 3 hr bus ride to seravalle.. SHOPPING TIME!! its basically a factory outlet for all the branded goods.. the prices there were really crazy!! omggg.. sad thing was.. it was winter.. so they only had all the winter collections =.=.. so i just ended up getting a jacket.. so wasted.. my mum say if its spring or summer time.. we tour tt place for 3 days also not enough to shop.. lol.. so we had 3 hrs to spare there.. and everyone was scrambling like some aunties going for big sale.. HAHAHA.. everyone really bought alot of stuff.. my mum kept on telling me and my sis to buy a branded handbag each.. BUT TO NO AVAIL xD HAHA.. and i figured out my dad's new hobby- buying branded handbags.. he ended up forking out the most money cause he bought a prada handbag for my mum.. and another one for my grandma.. while he got a prada shoes for himself..(and wth! first time i know that there are kids size for prada shoes)
After which.. took another few hrs ride to milan! went to this place.. for more shopping! but most of the shops were closed already.. since it was new yr's eve.. pretty crowded cause everyone was gathering for the new yr countdown.. but well.. we preferred to go back to the hotel for our countdown instead since transportation will be really difficult to find..
a giant mistletoe! :D haha.. where many couples actually stood there and kissed under it.. we were being spastic by telling our parents to go do the same.. HAHA.. obviously failed la.. then my dad told my sis 'QUICK GO UP THERE WITH ANDY!!'HAHA WTHH.. retarded parents..
the no of counts of kisses! haha its really alottt..23 245? i think they were trying to break a guiness world record or something..
we had a countdown party with our own grp tt night =) probably the first time tt i actually had a new yr countdown =) stupid sis pangseh me by sleeping so early =.=.. so me and my dad just went to the lobby to hang around with the rest.. i think our timing for countdown wasnt really accurate.. but nvm xD.. we had fun! could see the fireworks from the hotel.. and popped a champagne at the count of midnight :D drank red/white wine too.. omg i sound alcoholic! but no im not! dont worry! we drank it with full support from our parents =.=.. and then the kids went up to play poker! no idea what the adults were doing in the lobby after tt.. my dad is always v excited whenever we wanna play poker.. and every single night.. he will ask ís there poker tonight?' HAHA which parent will encourage their kids to gamble omg!!.. and he kept on chasing us out of the room and telling us to go look for the rest to play.. =.=..
poker was really fun tt day xD.. patrick turned REALLY REALLY red from the alcohol.. pretty scary.. but somehow he was still v alert.. eli has a picture of his super red face! but so sad tt we couldnt find her contact on facebook D:.. some of us slept at 2.30am.. while the rest talked till 3.30am?
Day 10(1 Jan)- Milan
Struggled to wake up the nxt morning.. and went to the national stadium! something abt football stuff la.. which i dun understand at all.. no idea why the rest were so excited over it.. LOL..
Next was
Duomo Cathedral.. or isit
Galleria Vitorrio Emanuelle II? aiyah.. either or la.. cause the other one was the name of the place we went to the previous night.. lol!
and since we managed to free up some time tt day.. since we chionged the rest of the places.. ronald decided to bring us to
SWISS!!! omg this is another of my fav place :D.. THE SCENERY IS REALLY REALLY V PRETYYY <33.. the lake was so clear tt you can see the bottom.. and the reflections of the swans/ducks as well!..more snow were on the ground.. but it wasnt snowing D:..
dont ask me why im wearing RJC jacket okay! me and my sis were just trying to be spastic.. she wore my athena jacket.. and i wore her RJC jacket.. HAHA
MY DAD IS SO FUNNYYYY!! HAHAHAHA.. wait till i blackmail him with this photo =p.. oh oh even better.. i had this photo with him wearing the burger king crown xD
oh ya.. and we took a tram ride around the place too.. where patrick and raymond were conveniently nodding off.. all thanks to poker the night before =p..
went back to the hotel.. and played poker and murderer for one last time.. AND I KEEP ON GETTING FORFEIT D:.. suayyyy.. but it was fun :D patrick turned strangely red again even though he didnt drink ani wine.. HAHA.. did i mention tt the parents always come into the room to bring snacks for us while we are playing? HAHA =p
Day 11 (2 Jan)- Milan, Singapore
the nxt day was basically our flight back.. but there were still lots of ppl doing last min shopping!.. this time my dad bought another gucci handbag for my mum? and he even volunteered to choose and pay for mine and my sis's handbag.. LOL? but he still fail la xD i wonder since when he's so generous.. LOL..
and i guess tt marks the end of the trip! enjoyed the trip alot =) they are really a great bunch of ppl =) i'll really miss the late night pokers.. the oranges flying between tables.. how the tomatoes on our table will always end up in the parents table (even though the guys were trying to force each other to eat cause they have some nutritional value for guys?).. and the desserts will somehow always end up piling up on our table :D.. how victor will go bankrupt every single night tt we play poker.. how raymond the drama king will always get killed when we play murderer cause he talks ALOT.. the way patrick accuses nike of being the murderer every single round even though he doesnt have a clue.. how nike will give up trying to survive and say ókay come on.. just kill me everybody!'.. how ditto will pretend tt he wasnt the murderer and say ÓMG we killed the wrong person again D:'.. and how andy is always the quietest one.. while his three brothers keep on complaining to my mum abt why they have to go back to work in their dad's company every single holiday whereas we dun have to.. LOL.. the way we will give each other retarded forfeit while waiting for the food to be served.. till we get bloated even before the main dishes came.. and of course speaking in 3 different languages.. everyone dared to speak somehow.. cause all our bahasa and chinese were of the same lousy standard HAHAHA..
and our most valuable lesson learnt from the trip: retarded parents have friends who are retarded parents as well.. (and my parents cant agree more to this.. LOL).. crazy la! uncle william actually told my parents to send us to melbourne since all of them are going to study there nxt yr.. and we are welcomed to move in with them =.=..
but really hope tt we can have a holiday together with them again =) they apparently went to dubai and egypt last christmas! and they actually invited us for a holiday.. since 4 yrs ago? but my dad keep on rejecting every yr cause something will always crop up D:.. my chance of going to egypt D:.. alright i shall end off here! phew finally done with blogging abt the trip! sry for the lag =p
