Poh-land - A continuation...

Okay more Warsaw pics....

We named this the Polish Big Ben...up till today, I have absolutely no idea what its called....and i'm not particularly bothered to look it up either.


This pic shows me again :D...our favourite mall..the Zlote Tarasy...and of course..the same clock tower thing again...I think that's probley Warsaw's most significant landmark.
Pretty pink tulips at some park..

We also went to this great club.

The decor was amazing...because it was Asian inspired of course ;)

And Nene posing in the loo. Yeah this was the sink area!



And this lady was cleaning...but I took a pic with her anyway..cause I absolutely loved her outfit!

Club entrance.

Neno calls this the United Colours of Benetton pic. I was obviously tired and cranky by then...even my hair was a complete mess...but Neno wouldn't stop dancing. Oh and this was at Platinum I think..
Neno and her Polish friends.

Nene, me and Ainsley Harriet! Hehe...I saw him again on the BBC a few days ago...too bad he doesn't cook on Ready Steady Cook anymore..he does have a few fab recipes though!:D

Warsaw...Poland??!

Haha...yup Nene and me were in Poland a few weeks ago...and I know we've all been super busy and lazy to blog..thanks to stupid stalkbook :p But I figured we should start posting here again...cause its definitely more fun reading old blog entries and such.

Anyway don't ask why we went to Poland...I guess Neno wanted to prove that she was over the Isabellaaaa-adalahhh incident :D

This was one of the first things we saw...yup I have secretly been creating my own line of beauty products in Poland :p (and DD, stop calling me that...the same goes for you too Neno...)




Then it was the Polish National Day too...or something like that...so we saw part of the parade and stuff...



And these girl guides were handing out some kinda candy...





We also walked to the Old Town and Neno just had to have the Szyszki things...(hehe oh and wata cukrowa is cotton candy!!)





I got sick looking at her eat the stuff of course...hehe I think its some sorta popcorn ball...yuck.

We went on a tour of the Old Town too..that was quite fun...I liked the mini train!

Here's Neno chatting up the Polish Pakciks! Tu pun jadi...:p

And we had lunch at this place...

Neno and her ribena feeling wine.

I wanted to try something Polish...so we ordered these pierogi things...and they were so disgusting...haha...think uncooked epok-epok..blehhhh...

Okay i'll continue this again in a bit...

Three sister's by Francis I. Gillespie

We are three sisters
Three sisters are we
I love each of you,
And I know you love me

We're not always together,
Life sometimes keeps us apart.
But we're never seperated
We're in each other's heart.

Now I know we've had our troubles,
But we always get thru.
The real message is you love me,
And I also love you.

We have had lots of good times
That we'll never forget
Sometimes we worry
And sometimes we fret

But if God ever gave me
Something special you see,
It might be the blessing of,
Three sisters are we.
The lord above has gave me lots
Of happiness and glee
But the most special thing he did was
Make us sisters, all three.

An Expedition into the Heart of the Bols Distillery

So. Today we went to the premier Dutch tourist attraction of the Bols House in Amsterdam. This is by far the best museum i've ever been to. No boring pictures, stupid art or other shit. Instead, a small but effective exhibition on the sensory delights of the fine arts of distilling alcohol in many different flavoUrs :D 

Best of all, you get a free cocktail with admission at the Mirror Bar! I had a great Chocolate or Cherry which actually included two chunks of nut laden chocolate! :D Yay!

I highly recommend a visit to this museum that is WAY better than the Van G

ogh or the Rijksmuseum. Even better, there's a shop with all the Bols Liqueurs where we stocked up on the flavours we were missing. Yummy :)

There's also a bartending academy at the Bols house... perhaps something to do?

The entrance to the House of Bols.

One of the really interesting parts of the museum... trying to guess the flavour of the liquid just by smell. We got soooooo many wrong!!!! Aiyooooh...
Me trying to smell...

The complete collection of KLM Bols houses.... DD has quite a few too, but not as many yet! Probley cause he hates KLM. :P 

It's really a science museum!

And the Bols bottles are very scienfitic too.

all the Bols bottles scrolling by on a huge screen.
Slurp rules????
Finally we got our cocktails at the end of the tour...
Mine came with two pieces of chocolate. Yay! :D
The collection at DD's place...
Such an alcoholicusje :P

At the shop near the exit, there was a cocktail shaker for 35,000 euros!

Medve has a girlfriend.

And he has cool shades..

Oh and he likes donuts too.

Fight Lyrics by LeAnn Rimes : 

 From Album: Family

’Hush, Hush why don’t you want to talk about it
Bitch, Bitch you don’t need to sugar coat it
I don’t want us to ever get to the point where we can’t recover
Break, Break we’re allowed to have our moments
Go on spell it out there’s nothing wrong with being honest
I can take it, go ahead let it out, lets get it over and done with

I don’t want to fight anymore
Cause every minute that we fight is a moment that we could be loving
Lay down with me tonight
I don’t want to fight 

We could start a war with both our tempers
Tomorrow I bet you anything we won’t remember
Who was right, who was wrong, what we said but we’ll regret what we’ve lost

I don’t want to fight anymore
cause every minute that we fight is a moment that we could be loving
lay down with me tonight
I don’t want to fight 

Were taking for granted how good that we have it
Lets laugh til we cry and get back to what matters
Oh it matters

I don’t want to fight anymore
Cause every minute that we fight is a moment that we could be loving
Lay down with me tonight
I don’t want to fight’

Leann Rimes-Fight (Album Version)

Swedish Idol!

Swedish Idol!

Okay I was really bored and felt like doing something crazy and out of the ordinary so what did I do?.....

I auditioned to be the next Swedish Idol!

Hahaha yes I did!

And it was fun! Cause I knew there was no way I was gonna get through and I was just there to take pictures and talk to the contestents trying out so I wasn't even all that nervous. At first I thought of just going in to check out the scnene but the crew guy wouldn't let me in unless I was auditioning! So I was forced to! But I'm glad I did.

Here's proof of my insanity:

These are the other people in my group. None of them got in. And some of them were really serious you know. Like this woman had a 5 month old baby and they drove like 170 km just so she could audition. And she took like voice classes and was making all these funny noises before her audition. But she didn't get in either!

Here's the scene. It was a two-day audition so most people came on the first day. There was hardly anyone at all on the Sunday! Ahh the last time I was at this place was when I went to the ball! We danced here!


So first we sat outside in a group, and then we were brought into this room where we waited a bit longer and then one by one, we went into another room where we finally sang in front of these 2 non-famous people who'd decide our fate. The ones who were chosen get to meet the real jury next week or something.


When I left and went outside, these 2 girls asked me if they could interview me for some magazine and took a pic of me! Oooh I feel like top pop star already! ;)

And here is the evidence that I really was there. So tak malu eh? Oh if anyone wondered, I sang 'Dream a little dream' and they said that I had a nice voice. :)

Duckies!

Duckies!

I was out taking a walk today when I saw these 2 duckies swimming in a puddle of muddy water. They were so still and looked so unreal I thought they were toy duckies at first!

Cute eh? Quack quack!

*Renee* Quack!

Skiing and The Simple Life

Skiing and The Simple Life

I was in this village in Dalarna over the weekend, where we stayed at this country house. It was pretty rustic and there was a fireplace and an old stove and everything. And a sauna too! Oh and the shower didn't work while we were there so we had to fill up buckets and shower like that. Very 'The Simple Life'. :)

The neighbouring house had a horse and these 2 really cute ponies!

We went hiking in the nearby forest and the scenery was really pretty.

And then on Saturday we went up to Sälen to go skiing!

And this was the slope I skied down (twice), well one and a half times. The 2nd time I gave up at the last stretch and walked down! I was the only one walking down the slope while everyone else skied!

And here I am, world champion skier. Or rather world's worst skier! Damn I didn't know it'd be so damn hard to ski! Have never felt so uncoordinated in my entire life!

Macam polar bear eh?
