i'm physically back from my holidays! but mentally and emotionally, i am still in egypt!! gosh i am so suffering from a hangover. it doesnt help tt i am slightly under the weather. work is haunting me but i have yet to come back to reality. i am so in denial!! HELP!

i had a fantabulous time in egypt. in one word, it was a WHOLESOME holiday! egypt is really exotic with a very interesting culture and really good looking people. hehe. such a perfect mix.

it was such an enriching experience.. i learnt so much!! egypt history and lifestyle.. it was seriously an eye-opener on how different life can be miles away. its amazing how their system works..

it was so surreal when i walked beside the Pyramids.. climbed into the tombs buried in the valleys and pyramids.. took the felucca along Nile River.. saw the temple of Queen Hatshepsut.. and the best part of the trip was my white desert stay.

white desert took my breath away. it was the pretties thing i have ever seen. really. such peace and serenity. gosh. a perfectly calming effect on my overly stressed nerves. the vastness of the desert with the uniquely shaped 'mushrooms' instantly made me fall in love with the place. it is such an unforgettable experience. the jeep ride through the desert.. the overnite stay..

as xuefen puts it in the most sincere and emotional tone, " my dreams came true ".. the white desert experience is really stg u shd go for if u go to Egypt. It is seriously underated. so i am trying to promote this beautiful place.

i felt helplessly romantic as i laid on my back in the middle of the nite.. the darkness of the desert.. only dimly lited by our failing campfire..to just stare into the sky... full of stars.. really many stars... i wished my eyes could have a 360 view... i lost count of the number of shooting stars i saw..but it was magical. it was simply one of the best moments in my life. i wished it didnt have to end..i love the white desert so much that i teared when the tour ended. felt so silly after that.

we had a wonderful guide called Muhammad Hendy. He was such a mummy and daddy to us. We miss him and the mushrooms. gosh... i'm missing it again!

i had so much fun with the girls. we laffed.. we cursed.. we went thru so much dirt together!!! and we really 'orchestra' a lot. we came up with new games.. haha.. nw we have more than just the question game..we laffed over the same jokes each time. the 'welcome' and 'ceguguk' joke. haa. watever. we went thru the dreadful looooooooonnnnnggggggggggg train rides. we almost wanted to eat each other up.. or at least strangle someone. cos it was such a torture to be in that tiny cabin for more than 10 hours! eww.

and as what we had been saying thruout the trip.. "we've become skinny, dry, dusty, dark.. but happy.. and toned.." haha. it cannot be true-er.

seriously, if u have a chance to visit egypt, u should. i cried when i was on the plane on the way back to spore. cos i found myself emotionally attached to the place... dun ask me why.. but i guess its prolly the people there. me and my friends were really lucky to have met genuinely helpful and nice people.. and thank God for looking after us throughout the trip..

now that egypt is over.. i have europe to plan for!! yayness!!!! so europe june 08! or at least, tts the plans i have rite now. haha.

well but from now till then, i also have other important matters to attend to.
so much work. so much distractions. haha. good kind of distractions.

i wana upload my egypt pics but still having probs with photobucket. urgh. so irritatin!

anyway, a Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha for all Muslims.. I'm gona eat banyak banyak again to make up for the lost kilos in egypt. haha. i bet someone begs to differ. *winks*

u like it? i LIKE. haha.
