Now & Forever: 12th jul 2008

hmm finally i hav time to blog on my trip :) hehe.. which one shud i start on? hmm i think i shud start on the most recent ones 1st.. haha coz is stil clear in my head :p

yea! hsemates trip + peiling & chewyee who decided to join us last minutes.. huiming & peiling 1st went down to london on d 9th coz peiling nv been 2 london b4 (kekeke... how could u pei!!) so huiming - the person who can tour anyone in london (she been to london 4x dy??) teman her.. or else it will b ashame!! one yr in uk weh.. how can nt been to london!! haha.. well partlya also coz she too busy travelling around europe dy.. am i right pei? :p

so on d 11th morning, chris, leeyin & i took an morning train (6 hrs) to london, meet hm & pl at mable arch station. fr there, we took a bus to luton airport & meet up wit chewyee.. while waiting in the departure hall.. guess wht.. FIRE ALARM!!! coming fr boots pharmacy.. everyone was asked to evacuate.. *Sweat* & it's raining outside.. half way through the emergency door, we were asked not to run anymore.. just stay where we r..

at emergency exit: wht happened?...

n pl was in v bad mood.. coz she couldnt hav her pret a manager's sandwich for her dinner.. peeking out the window, hm saw all the petrol gas truck move far far away fr d buildin we r standing.. hmm BOMB??!!! nt tht unlucky gua.. our last trip leh.. waited waited, obviously we werent told wht just happened.. flight was delay for an hour.. fr 2345 to 0050.. then thought can sleep on plane.. mana tahu, was so cold tht all of us couldnt sleep well.. even hm who is so cold resistance, also complain.. haha..

landed in athens international airport at 6am.. warm waether, coz it's stil early in d morning.. took a airport transfer to aristoteles hotel, had wee clean up & bfast then head of to search for travel agent.. coz we wanted to go santorini so much bt oni limited time.. our final decision is to take a slow ferry (they call it ferry) at 2230 tonight & reach santorini at 1000 d next day.. then take another slow ferry at 2330 on d same day & reach mainland at 1430 (fast ferry r fully booked).. dis also mean tht we gona burnt 2 nights at aristoteles hotel.. we were pretty funny at d travel agent too :) since they call it "ferry" so we wonder if it's open air, cold, hard to rest etc.. d agent laughed at us & tell us, nt to worry.. :) to our surprise, it was a cruise! just tht nt d v v nice ones, bt nt a bad one though.. :) we had cabin to sleep, private washroom, proper cafeteria, bar, disco, ballroom etc.. sth lik titanic? just nt as posh saja..

note: slow ferry - hope around many many islands
fast ferry - go straight to destination

after confiming all our tickets etc.. we head off to acropolis.. bt this time, is about 1100 & super hot!! i can actually feel my skin burning in pain.. we r pretty dehydrated during dis trip as well.. no matter how much intake of water, there is either no or v v less output..

erm.. i guess everyone ady has an ans in their mind.. who won d title MISS "S"

we then had lunch at "greek hse" just down d hill..

we then walked to olympic stadium.. panathinaikos stadium in athens is nt where d v 1st olympic games were held.. it was where d 1st modern olympic games in 1896 n d v 1st olympic games was held in olympia, dating back possibly further than 776BC

would u b able to guess wht sports r we trying to show?

nice one pl & hm!

nt even half a day yet & my arms turned into double tone.. so u can imagine, how hot it is.. wht will happen to me in next few days?

last destination of d day - hard rock.. nv miss d hard rock in every trip although i myself is nt a fan.. i shud hav started to collect hor! easier! then i dun need to n hunt for souvenirs 4 myself! haha jk.. ex leh! went back hotel & bath, left to pireus port at 2100.. boarded d "ferry"..
