I am chilled to the bones. The temperature fell to -7°C this morning.. that's cold.. REALLY cold. I'm just glad I didn't have to step foot outside. When it gets this cold, it's best to stay indoors.. most ideally under a thick blanket cause no matter how much you layer up, the chill still gets to you. (Poh if you're reading this, I'm willing to trade places with you anytime.)
Oh yeah, we retrieved our strayed luggages on Tuesday. Everything was intact except for a couple of battered surfaces on one luggage (due to rough manhandling I'm sure) and a couple of broken tubs containing spices. I had the 'honour' of clearing all that up after much dread. Well we're just glad we got our stuff back without much delay. Did I mention that our newly bought luggage tags were stolen?... that's a downer.

eh merde.. what a day!
I'm back online after a long absence. Well, we're reluctantly back from our vacation.. back in the freezing cold.. back in our quiet home. We're already missing everybody in Singapore.. and the warmth too, definitely! It was really hard for us to part with family and friends.. we had great fun with everybody. It would be months before we get to see them again.. how cruel!
Well things started out wrong right from the airport... first, it was SO wrong to leave the family (again).. then there's the flight delay.. next we found out that our luggages somehow got lost during the transit (apparently they're now safely back in Paris airport and we'll receive them in a day or two.. or three or four...) and as if all that wasn't enough, we had to wait for an hour in the cold to take the bus from the airport to the train station.. that's French service for you. It was a long and tiring trip back home for us.. fortunately we didn't have to stay outdoors for long cause the cold was really unforgiving and I was underdressed for a -2°C weather. The cold was like a hard slap in the face especially after coming back from a tropical country.
Well we're all settled now.. the heater is in full force.. we're decked in thick clothes.. drinking hot soup. We had a long, well-deserved sleep yesterday.. just waiting for the luggages to come now.
