(Kononnya glamour but actually i’m dying for some rest…)
I don’t know what i was thinking – that i could keep up with blogging all my pictures on a daily basis!
I can’t even keep up with my emails..!
I’m just gonna throw some pictures on now and blog the rest of the really nice pictures i’ve been taking all over the place in other blogposts when i have the time. (correction, when i MAKE the time!)
On Thursday morning (yesterday), i had my last breakfast at the Kempinksi Hotel outside Frankfurt.
Every morning after breakfast there, i would admire the cherry blossom tree on the walk back to my room.
I had the chicken schnitzel which was really good.
Well, the reason Sam took me there is cos all the food is good!
Thanks Sam!
That evening, i boarded my Lufthansa flight thanks to some luck, cos there was a worker’s strike at the Frankfurt airport and flights only resumed from afternoon onwards! I flew to London Heathrow where my Uncle Mark picked me up at 11:15pm and we headed into the city apartment where i saw my grannie and gave her a hug, had some supper and slept till 4am.
My aunt, uncle and i left London city at 4am to head for their house in Reigate, where i unpacked what i didn’t need for the weekend. It was bloody freezing (4°C) and i had to force myself to wash up before our taxi came at 6:30am to fetch us to Gatwick airport for our flight to Bologna at 8:30am.
Moon & stars coffee at Gatwick.
We flew over the Swiss Alps and it was so beautiful.
Like giant black waves with frothy tops frozen in time.
We arrived in Bologna where Beatrice and Mario picked us up.
Had lunch at Trattoria da Gianni, a real hole in the wall Italian place. The food was outstanding. Italian food is always outstanding! Ahhh how i’ve missed REAL Italian pasta and hams!
How could i come to Bologna and not order the Bolognese XD
My mum turns 60 today!!!
We took her to Awanmulan last weekend and it was my family’s first time there.
Unfortunately my dad literally broke his back when we arrived :*( so he’s not in the pool pix
My mum she realises why Clem and i go there so much!
Aigner’s latest collection is filled with vibrant colour and the unmistakable fiery spirit of Brazil. The Munich-based leather brand pays homage to fiery samba rhythms, exuberating Brazilian carnivals and the beauty and power of South American women.
You can’t miss the vibrant hues in pink, yellow, orange, and green; mingled with gold, terra and nude. Where once Aigner was seen as a brand for the more ‘mature’ woman, in this day being mature doesn’t mean not being fun!
The vid team at Jaya One interviewed me for their Maybe Can campaign. Watch the vid as i talk about my KinkyBlueFairy pop-up store that’s at POP @ Jaya One and why it’s such an awesome opportunity for entrepreneurs who are selling any sort of thing!
Promised some friends i’ll post up announcements so here you go!

I’m spending two weeks in Europe thanks to Lufthansa, who’s sponsored me return flights from KL to Frankfurt so that i can experience their new direct flights on my way back. I’m a lucky fairy, i know 🙂
From 1st of April 2014, Lufthansa will be operating a new direct route from KL-Frankfurt 5 times a week, allowing passengers to connect easily with any city in Europe. Read more about it *here*.
I was hoping that it wouldn’t be a full flight so i could perhaps lie down on a few seats, but it was COMPLETELY FULL. I never knew so many people flew to Frankfurt!
I sat next to a young guy wearing a holiday hat and a tan hinting his return from a holiday. We didn’t speak much till we landed in Germany, then we started talking about traveling and how he loved Thailand and its people. Turns out he’s a Swede called Samir and I tried convincing him to visit Malaysia next time!
When i arrived, it was around 6am and i was pretty tired from the long journey but still had to find out how to get to my hotel. Upon enquiring at the airport’s info desk, i discovered that some of the public transport was on strike (figures) and went about taking a train to Neu-Isenburg, which is the closest stop to the Kempinksi where i’m staying. From there i took a taxi cos no one could tell me which bus i should take and i just couldn’t lug around my Rimowa and hand luggage anymore.
At first i was like, man, it’s quite a trek to get to this hotel. But in the end, it was totally worth it cos the Kempinski is one of the NICEST hotels i’ve stayed in!
The Kempinski is a luxury 5-star hotel with the most beautiful hotel grounds, faultless staff service, delicious food and all the amenities one would desire including in-room spa service. Every morning after breakfast, i walk outside and stand underneath that cherry blossom tree to marvel at its beauty!
I’ve slept in many-a 5-star hotel bed and this one ranks in my top 3. The secret is in the Mühldorfer goose down pillows and bedding (i went searching for the brand they use) and now i want to get the same for our new bedroom! I’ve had such great sleeps in this bed… Soft but not too soft, it’s justttt right!
Study table where i’m blogging from right now. Even the reading chair on the left is extremely comfortable. The kind of design Clem likes and wants for his reading corner too.
I was wondering why i didn’t get the initial shock of cold marble flooring when i walk in, and realised – they’re heated! So awesome.
