Why am I sick again??

Got up early in the morning & my stomach felt funny. But everything was ok until I transferred to the Pasir Ris bound train at Jurong East. There on the train, it was stuffy & I couldn't hold it any longer. I vomited. Luckily not onto anyone but almost. Then I quickly alighted at Clementi to puke everything out. Actually there's nothing but just the water I drank earlier in the morning. Since I was just 2 train stops away from my office, I went to work as usual, assuming that everything should be fine after puking. But then, I started to suffer from headache and was running a temperature of 39 deg. C. by the time I went to see the doc. Oh my god! Why am I sick again?? I've been so weak lately!!!

The doctor's diagnosis showed that my throat infection has yet fully recovered & has in fact worsened. To the stage that the virus goes to my stomach & attacks other parts of the body. Something like that la. But sounded scary. Didn't know that a throat infection can have so much complications!

Anyway, after taking the medicine & sleeping for the whole of yesterday, I'm feeling better today. Though still a little weak & lack of appetite. Hope I can get well soon!

My first 5km is accomplished!

Yes! I've accomplished my very first 5km run this morning at the Great Eastern 10km run!!! Well, to some people, it might be just chicken feet though but I'm really happy that I've completed the run. In fact, I didn't even train up for the run. I think my last run was a weeks ago, covering only like 2.4km. Haha...Yah, I admit I was lazy & not disciplined enough.

Well, during the run, there's times when I felt like stopping, trying to think of excuses for myself to rest & walk instead. But at the same time, I tell myself that I cannot stop & must complete the entire run no matter what. So I just push myself to go on running until the end point. It took me about 35mins to complete it. Hmm...I guess the timing is not too bad, rite? Heez... Though I'm really impressed by some of the 10km runners who took like 45mins to complete! Anyway, I'm so happy that BZ, PT & I completed the run! Haha....tired but happy. Not bad, at least we were not among the last ones. Heez.....

So coming up in less than 1.5 months' time is my Standard Chartered 10km run. Oppz! For this really need to TRAIN UP NOW!!! Time is running out!!!!

628 market is burnt!

If you do watch the news, you should have seen the report on a wet market at Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 being on fire last nite. Yah, exactly. It's the market located opposite my house.

I came to know about the market catching fire when Mum called me up last nite at 9+pm. By the time I reached home, all I could see was the market being engulfed by thick smoke. Along my way back, I saw a few fire engines coming into the area. It looked as if they are shooting some film. But what came before us was a REAL FIRE! Earlier on, the news did report on this accident. Basically all stalls were badly burnt. Everything was charred. It's really a sad thing. In just a one-hour fire, all the hawkers have lost everything. Many must be devastated.

Now there is plan to set up a temporary market at one of the carparks nearby. But it would also mean that the hawkers will need to fork out another sum of money to pay for the tempoary premise on top of the loses they are suffering now. Sigh... Hope more help will be rendered to them.

Now me & the residents here are going to miss the good food at the hawker centre as well. Sigh... Hope the businesses can resume soon!!!

Me & my lapop are sick!

I'm officially sick since yesterday and so is my laptop. :'(

No idea what happened. A few keys on the keyboard failed me since last night. All I could remember is that I last use it on Wednesday nite and bro did use it for a while on Friday nite. What happened? It's barely a year old only!!!!

So today, while I'm on MC, I intend to bring it down to Kallang for diagnosis. But...the sky is turning real dark & the medication is making me real sleepy now. HOW???

Why are we sick at the same time? Sigh... :(

Hari Raya Puasa

Selamat Hari Raya to all my Malay friends!

Yes, today I went to Noorul's place for visiting too! Heez... Warm & friendly hosts and of course, the food was great. Thanks for the invitation! I think this is the very 1st so-called official Hari Raya visiting I have so far. Coz most of the time I'll go to my Malay friend's house after Hari Raya to "clear" their new year goodies. Ahaha....I mean to enjoy, ok? =)

I've eaten quite abit of the cookies just now. Now I think my throat is going to sore soon. *cough cough* On top of that, I've eaten some chicken wings at Ikea after the visiting. Oppz....too much of a temptation. I'm falling sick soon!!!!

Relax Weekend!

Finally my presentation was over on last Wednesday! Can say that I'm quite pleased with my performance & boss was pleased too. Heez....

Since Wednesday, I've been sleeping alot. Well, for Wed, Thu & Fri nights I really sleep early & slept like a log since I've been quite deprived of sleep for the past week. Haha....so by Saturday, I was energetic enough to go for 4 rounds on the track plus bodypump then bodycombat & my day was rounded up with Cheer Chen's concert. Simple & nice though I wasn't very familiar with the songs. Heez...

Though my muscles are still aching, I still attended 2 gym classes today. Now my muscles are aching even more! I met up with my bunch of JC gfs after that to celebrate SM's belated birthday & Sze's upcoming birthday. Really had lots of fun chatting, eating, taking pics, shopping. It's been quite some time since the group of us met up. Really enjoyed the evening! Hope we can do it more often!! Yeah! A few plans coming up. KTV, cycling/blading, chill-outs. Haha...can't wait for the activities already!!! :)

Tiring weekend! But I've really enjoyed it. Tmr half day of work then shopping!!! Woohoo!!! =)

I've not MIA!

Due to my busy schedule, especially with work, I've not been updating my blog. Sigh...Still got some backdated posts, hope to finish them by next week. Heez...

But what's more pressing now is to finish my presentation slides for next Wednesday's Chemistry Meeting. I'm glad that I've created some of my powerpoint slides already, though it's just the presentation title, outline and acknowledgement. Yah, the main body of the presentation has not been done. Oh shit! Yah, I'll need to churn down the stack of journal articles before I can start working on my slides. Sigh...Seems like still a long be way to go but I'm now running short of time! Other than presentation, work is killing me too. So much to do yet so little time. I've been lunching in & doing OT lately, but things just didn't work out the way I wish, dunno if I'll be able to meet the deadlines. Haiz....

I'M SO STRESSED NOW! AND ALL MY PIMPLES ARE POPPING OUT!

I NEED TO DE-STRESS!!!

Outing to Night Safari

This weekend has been fun! Yesterday I went to the Night Safari! Heez... Why do I sound so excited? Erhh...quite embarrassed to say that yesterday was my very 1st time stepping in Singapore Night Safari since it opens 13 years ago. Oh no!! I'm such a lousy Singaporean!

It's really a fun experience seeing the animals in the dark Some were even free to roam about and we got to come in real close contact with them. Some of the animals we saw include monkeys, binturongs, babirusa, spotted mouse deer, calves, tigers, lions, leopards, owls, hippos, rhinoceros, sloth bear, striped hyena, giraffe, bongo, tapir, elephants, gaur, squirrels, bats, porcupines, otters & lots more.

Hoping on & off the tram was fun too. It's so amazing to see the animals walking around freely while we are on board the tram. I wonder what will happen if they just jump up onto the tram? Heez... But the tram ride would have bee even better without the inconsiderate tourists who just kept flashing away their cameras at the animals when they had been told many times to switch off their flash. Don't they understand that this could blind the animals? So bad of them! Maybe they don't understand English!

Anyway, glad that our trip wasn't spoilt too much by them. Yah, luckily we alighted & walked in a different direction as them. Haha... We were quite entertained by the animal show too. Very good show presenters, who reall managed to keep the crowd excited throughout the show. It's funny to know that someone is terrified of snakes! Ahaha....wanna to volunteer (or SABOTAGE??) him for that particular segment, but I was afraid that I'll be thrown into the crocodile pool after that so I didn't. Haha....

Yeah!! Shall go to the zoo some day soon! I wanna see the penguins! Heez....

Surprise Call

Today I've received a call again. All I can say is SURPRISED! Yah, totally unexpected that they'll call me up for round 2 as I thought I've floppd the 1st round. Anyway, I'll be good to be more prepared this time round. But what to prepare? WK just told me something scary. There might be a 4th & 5th round. Sounds quite crazy. Though I still have quite a no. of days of leave left, I think I'll run out of excuse to take leave real soon! How??

Left-handed-right-handed ME!

Actually this entry came in abit late, it should be written on the 13th of last month. But why that day? Because it is the International Left-handers day which is my day then! Heez... Well, I only remember this day when I came across an article on left-handers in today's 'mypaper'. Haha....

To be precise, I was born a left-hander but is no longer a "pure left-hander" as I write with my right hand from young. Well, this doesn't occur naturally. I was being "forced" to write with my right hand by my mum when I was small. Yah, as she is a right hander and has to teach me the writing strokes by holding on to my right hand, over time, I've developed the habit of writing with my right hand. But other than writing, attempts to do other stuff with my right hand simply fail. Haha... Yah, that includes colouring, drawing, painting. Although these tasks seem quite similar to writing, I can never do a good job with my right hand. However, when it comes back to writing, my left hand seems more crippled now. Well, I guess it's because after years of writing with my right hand, I'm now better at it than my master hand does. Haha...

I do agree with the article in 'mypaper'. The society is made more for the right-handers, even basic things like scissors, I'll have difficulty using them with my left hand. Yah, I used to be so clumsy with scissors such that I've cut my own clothes by accident for quite a number of times (which made my mum so angry. wahaha) Maybe because there isn't a "left-handed role model" for me, my chopstick skills sucks for my left hand & even more so for my right hand. I have difficulty using the normal knife as well & I'm often being laughed at by others for holding my chopsticks in such a weird manner and for taking years to cut simple things with the knife. Left-handers being the rare ones in the society are sometimes being seen as disabled. Sigh... Discrimination!

I'm also bad at racket games as my serves are just bad lo. Maybe it's me who's bad at the games rather than because of my hand. wahaha...

But well, after almost 25 years of being a left-hander, I'm already used to the inconveniences. But there's also advantages like I can easily switch to another hand to do things or I can use chopsticks to eat with 1 hand & write with the other. Ahaha...Something to feel happy about being a left hander is that it is believed that we are smarter & more creative compared to right-handers. Erhh...though I don't think I'm that smart lah, maybe it's my mum's fault for turning me into a left-right-handed hybrid. If not I might be smarter lo... Sigh..

What a "cold sweat" day!

Today is a hot & sunny day except for a short passing shower. What a fine Monday! But I was already in "cold sweat" early in the morning. Got up at the usual timing but not for work. Had to put on my freshly-ironed long sleeves shirt & pants, make up and make sure that I look nice & presentable before leaving my house. Yah, probably by now you would have guessed that I went for an interview. Haha...

It took a good 1.5hrs to reach the place. Everything there just appear so familiar yet so distant. Familiar coz it's still the same receptionist and many things still look the same as they were 4 years back. Distant coz it feels kinda weird when you return to a familiar environment as a visitor & having to go through the interview by the familiar people which gonna feel kinda awkward. But as expected, the interview was tough!!

The interview was broken down into 3 segments - general questions, techinical questions and finally mechanisms. General questions were mainly on what I've been doing for my present job, why am I looking for a job switch, etc. Technical questions were more for them to see how I will respond to different situations & how I will go about solving the problems. Mechanisms are just about drawing arrows here and there to show how electrons flow. Though I expected such technical questions, I decided to take things easy and so didn't prepare anything. Haha...

So since I wasn't very much prepared for the interview (I don't want to give myself so much pressure either. Haha), I guess I won't be too upset if I don't get shortlisted for the 2nd interview. But it's definitely a good "refresher" to go through an interview again after not attending any for the past 3 years. Haha... So now I'll just have to wait & see. =)

Time to learn what I wanna to?

Today I was disciplined enough to attend 2 gym classes alone, body combat & hi-lo. Haha...combat was fun as usual, while hi-lo was fun but tiring as I was not even allowed to wipe off my sweat let alone take a sip of water during the class. Yah, so the hi-lo class just went on continuously for some 50mins before it ended with some stretching. So tired!

Met up with WS after that. Hmm...somehow, we seem to have lots of "complaints" about work & life. Haha... So we spent a nice Sunday afternoon chit-chatting and gossiping away. Heez... Talked about changes, about how much we have changed & our life has changed over the years. Have the changes be for the better or for the worse? Are the changes what we really want or are they just the product of our ever-changing environment? But deep down, we know that our friendship has not changed for worse and that's really something to feel happy about. Heez... Wow, come to think about it, just 3 years into the working world & we already have so much "complaints", what will happen in the many years to come? Especially now the government has raised the retirement age. Sometimes I really wonder if I have to work till the day I die. That's so sad, I wish I can retire earlier, like 55 years old, then spend my time enjoying life, travelling. Wahaha... Will it be possible? Hmm... Maybe you are telling m to wake up from my dream now. Haha

Anyway, just to put a stop to our never-ending "complaints", we decided to catch a movie, Secret by Jay Chou. Nice show coz i love the piano tunes they played. Really impressed with their piano skills. How I wish I can play piano too. Yah, I can only play (used to play. Haha) trumpet & harmonica but I always wanted to learn piano & flute. Actually I did check up the courses before but after which just procrastinate it, so till now I've not started on anything. Sigh...Yes, I should stop procrastinating anything from now on! Yah, I wanna learn a 3rd language, either french or german, too.

Yes, there's so many things in life I wanna pursue now. Haha...

A Call Today...

This morning when I logged on to my gmail account, I was surprised to receive an email. Hmm...actually not really surprised, sort of anticipated it but just that I expect it to be in the form of a call instead of an email. (Hmm...at this point in time when things have not fallen into place, I'm not going to reveal too much. Haha...) Having received the email and followed by my reply to confirm on the details, somehow just started to think about alot of things. I began to imagine how life would change if the thing just goes on smoothly, the pros & cons. Feeling a little fearful at the thought, having to go through all the changes and readjustments yet at the same time looking forward to facing the probable new challenges. Hmm...well, I just tell myself to take it with an open mind. Anyway, nothing has been finalised yet, it's just my first step forward now. Heez...

Hope that things will turn out well next Monday and I'll be able to get a clearer view of whether things are like what I've been expecting & are they what I really want. Just wanna follow my heart! =)

A Nite of Fireworks

Yeah! All thanks to Jo, I got the tix to the Singapore Fireworks Celebrations 2007 tonite. Heez.. The fireworks were choreographed by the Spanish fireworks team. It was fantastic! I should enjoy it to the fullest but too bad, I wasn't in the best state to enjoy the display. Yes, already down with a terribly blocked nose, sore throat & cough, my left eye was suddenly "bugged" by something. Dunno what exactly happened. My left eye began to get quite uncomfortable after work, somehow there's lots of discharge ( sometimes greenish stuff) and it was a little painful. So throughout the fireworks display, I was either wiping off the discharge from my eye or preventing my half-blocked-half-runny nose from overflowing. Sigh... Quite unlucky. After the fireworks display, we still have to squeeze through the crowd & it took me almost an hour before I managed to take the train home.

I think what I need now is some medicine & sleep. zzzZZZZ

Mid Year Review

Happy Belated Birthday, Singapore! Yes, yesterday I watched the NDP but it was on TV not at Marina Bay. I never have the luck to win any NDP tickets, irregardless of how many entries my family has sent out. Sigh... Anyway, for NDP parade, I'm usually more interested in the march pass & fireworks segments, not so much on the in-between performances. Yah, another segment which I like most is the school band formation, but think they have scraped off the segment some years ago. So sad.. Well, it just reminded me of the my secondary school band's participation in the NDP when I was in Sec 2 then. I missed the chance to participate as they picked mostly sec 3 & 4 members for it.

Anyway, other than having resolutions for our country, Singapore, it's time for my mid year review for my job & to rethink about my resolutions. Yup, I've just done my mid year review with my boss on Wednesday, talked about my past 1/2 year performance, my long term plans, etc. There he asked again if I'm still keen to further my studies. With a bit of hesitation here & there thou, my reply to him was still a "yes". He then went on to talk about what are the things I should consider carefully before I embarked on the plan. How I should get started off to look for Uni & good supervisors, etc, before we can bring this up to my big boss. Hopefully I can get some help, especially financially then. ahaha!

Hesitation. I still have some reservation about the whole idea of going back to study/research. My goal? To get a PhD? Well, that would probably take a good 4-5 years followed by 2-3 years of postdoc before I can officially "graduate". Let's see. With at least a year of preparation starting from now, the earliest I'll start grad school next year when I'm 26. 5 years down I'll be 31 plus another 3 years, I'll be 34! When I did the calculation & told my boss, he said I'm so cute. Erhh.... Besides counting the years, I also understand that there gonna be lots of sacrifices I need to make. Like long hrs in lab, weekendless (which means lifeless too), a big drop in income, less time for family, friends & him. Well, the decision I make now is not just going to affect myself only, it'll affect alot of people so I can't be selfish too. That's 1 of the reasons why I've been procrastinating it, until it's mentioned again during the mid year review.

Like what I've said before, I'm feeling stagnant in my R&D job already. In terms of career aspiration, I doubt it'll bring me anywhere further with just a BSc. So I got to think of alternatives for myself now. Thought of 2 other plans besides going for a PhD. Heez...

1. Move into manufacturing. More political but likely to have more career prospects.
2. Do a Masters 1st, then probably go into tertiary teaching.
3. Get married & be a tai tai.

Oppz! Didn't I only mention 2 plans? Well, 3rd plan is just an impossible dream in Singapore lor. Wahaha....

Tiring Weekend

For the past week, and even till now I've been bugged by the rashes on my legs. So irritating! I simply couldn't help but keep scratching, especially in the middle of the nite. I was finally being persuaded to see the doc this evening coz my legs look really disgusting, red patches of rashes. Same as before, the doctor could not determine the exact cause of my rashes, coz it could be the food I eat, the shower gel I use, the clothes I wear & perhaps my work environment which cause the allergy. No idea what happened. But anyway, as long as the cream she gave me to apply helps to stop the itch & heal the rashes, I'm happy! Haha...

Past 2 days have been great & enjoyable except for the sleep which I've missed. Fri nite was basically a sleepless nite accompanying my poor bro in hospital. Luckily he was fine after a jab & need no hospitalisation. It was also an interesting nite spent in the hospital. Got to see a couple of "interesting" people there. There's this old man who has been left in the hospital by his daughter. Well, the old man was only kept under observation for a few hours but his daughter just left him there. When he was told that he could leave the hospital, he could not find his IC & wallet and he started bugging the nurses & accused them of taking his stuff. But it was believed that his daughter might have taken his stuff home after dropping him off at the hospital. In the end, he created a din in the observation room. It seemed like the nurses could not reach his daughter by phone as I see him leaving with a police officer after that. Just felt abit curious why did his daughter just leave him in the hospital like that when he's only under a few hours of observation? He's not even admitted into the hospital! Is it so difficult to accompany her dad for that few hours? Isn't she concern about what happened to her dad? Hmm...

I also saw another old man in the observation who looked so frail & fragile that he kept trembling in his bed. But there was no one to take care of this poor, sick old man except for the ever busy nurses who had to manage the 30 over patients in the observation room. At that point in time, I really wonder where his family is and why aren't around to take care of this old man. Is is sufficient to simply leave the sick parents in the hospital like this & expect the doctors & nurses to take care of them? Is this good enough to be called filial piety? If they think it is, it's really sad.

There I told my bro, he should be thankful there I was there with him throughout the nite. Wet his lips when his lips are dry, assist him to the toilet when he needs to, making sure he's comfortably sleeping in the bed when I only got a plastic chair to sit. Haha... And on our way to catch a cab home, somehow we began to hold hands. It's like back to the days when he was still a little boy and I held his small little hands. Well, back then his palms were only half of mine but now it's twice! haha... I guess as one grows up & spends more time outside with friends, you will tend to neglect your family. But when something happens, your family will be the 1st to attend to your needs and perhaps then you'll realised their importance again. So sad... hope I'm not a disposable sis to him leh. That's why I kept telling my family & some people, must treasure me before I die leh. Haha... Of course I treasure my family & friends as well! =)

All the best to my dear friend!

Sob sob... GY just left for Boston this morning. Earlier in the morning we have just exchanged smses and when the last sms from her was about that she's already on the plane, going to take off soon, somehow I just felt a little sad but at the same time happy for her.

We just met up for a dinner last Friday before her departure. As she wished, we treated her to a Japanese restaurant coz this gal thinks that she'll miss all the Japanese food she loves when she reaches Boston. Haha.. And I've also bought her my favourite Japanese wassant, which she loves as well. No worries, I'll get you more when you come back, ok? Surprisingly, I also received a nice little angel hp accessory from her. Heez... Really like it. Thanks! Our meetup was ended with a farewell hug, so sad... Gonna miss her for the next 1.5 years. Now less 1 khaki to go out & go travelling. But all the best to her! Just hope she'll be less blur & more independent. Heez... Yeah, and I'm going to save up for my air ticket to fly over & hopefully I can sponge on her then. Haha...

Actually I envy her too. I wish I can go abroad to study/work for a few years, to learn to be independent & to see the outside world too. I wonder if I'll get a chance to. I wish I wish...

More Joy @ Work, more Activities in Plan!

Since my return from Turkey, I've embarked on a new platform for my current project. This time round, the chemistry involved is less tedious and alot more workable. So happy!! Finally I'm doing something which I'm able to see results!! Heez... Yah, I've been missing out on this in my work for the past 1+ years, where what I've been working on were mostly ambiguous & unfulfilling. But at least for now, things are working well and no longer demoralising.

I've also got a couple of "major events" lined up in my plan. Haha!!! For a happier & healthier me, me together with some friends got ourselves registered for the Amore Women's Dayout & the Great Eastern 10K Run. Haha... so excited!!! Excited over the events &... GOODIE BAGS!!! Hey, don't say that I'm cheapo, ok? Well, it's been the 3rd year in a row that I've participated in the Amore Women's Dayout and without fail, I'll always do it with Zhen & YP. This year our group grew bigger, there's gonna be 7 of us! Hope it won't rain like last year & hope there'll be more fun this year. As for the Great Eastern 10k Run, I've just signed up today, only for the 5km fun run. Well, it's gonna be my 1st time doing a marathon, so gotta take it easy & start off with a shorter route. Heez... Coming up next will be registration for Standard Chartered Marathon. How far are we going to run then? 21km? Oh gosh! I need to train up for my 5km 1st then!

An Outing to Sentosa!

It's my 1st weekend back in Sg! The very 1st outing I have for this weekend was to Sentosa. Haha....any guess on when my last trip to Sentosa was? Ermm... I think it was when I was 18 yrs old. Some 7 years back. OMG!! I'm such a mountain tortise!

But yesterday morning begun with some drizzle, such a nice weather to laze in bed! zzzZZZ Haha...So by the time I woke up, get prepared & reached Sentosa, it was already noon time. Ready for lunch! Haha...

I think the most excited person (or rather pet) at this outing was Oscar. Can see that he got all high & excited the moment he landed on Sentosa, he just kept barking and checking out each and every corner. Haha... He even learnt how to swim! Wow! But still need lots of practices & training, just like me. Wahahaha.... So our "coach" gotta teach us how to tread water steadily, ok? Heez...

Despite the bad weather, it was an enjoyable outing. Seen alot of changes made to Sentosa. Now the monorail is gone and is replaced by the light rail train which links Vivocity to Sentosa. The old musical fountain is also gone, new IR is on its way too! So much changes there! Yeh, many things can change in just a year, a month, a day, an hour and even within a minute. Let alone 7 years. Changes... Will changes always be for the better? Only time will tell. Haha...

I'm back from Istanbul!

Yes! I'm back from my 9-day business + holiday trip to Istanbul!! Time flies so fast. 9 days just passed like that & I'm now back to Sg, back to work already. My 3 other colleagues & I were sent to Istanbul, Turkey, for a Medicinal Chemistry conference, AIMECS 07. Hmm...well, conference wise it was abit too academia, more university-based research were presented instead of industrial-related ones. However, still managed to see some interesting tuberculosis research (related to my research), which my boss has tasked me to pay attention to & report to him the research which had been conducted. Stressed manz! Coz I'm the only one in the group working on TB now.

Anyway, back to Istanbul. On the overall, it's a pretty nice place with nice sea views, lots of mosques (at least 1000 over of them!) & palaces too. The turks guys are handsome too, with very long & curly eye lashes (so envious of them!!) and sharp features. Haha... For the past 9 days, I've been having lots of hard bread/pita & kebabs (lots of lamb, limited chicken, well, only chicken breast meat) with VERY VERY LITTLE greens. Felt so deprived of vegs then coz I'm a veg-lover! Yah, the only veg they commonly have are tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants & pasley. NO GREEN LEAFY VEG!!!! I think that's quite torturous for me, so just a day before I returned to Sg, I called up my dear mum asking her to prepare a "green dinner" for me when I'm back. Haha... Yah, I really miss Sg's food!

Took lots of photos but still in the midst of sorting them out. Will post them up soon. Heez...

Besides staying in Istanbul, we took a short flight to Izmir then to the small city there called Kusadasi. A nice sea side city & I love the sunset there. It was really really nice!!! Our main purpose to Kusadasi was to visit Ephesus, where one of the old 7 wonders of the world, Temple of Artemis, is located. Really enjoyed the exploration!

Now back to work again. I'm looking forward to my next holiday. But when will it be? Sigh...
