Weekend with the Belgians

The three days spent at Lisa’s place in Sandviken this weekend was nothing else but trés trés bien. Not only did I get to meet some really cool and super sweet Belgian guys (and cute Denise from Amsterdam of course), but also, I learned how to eat crayfish, go canoeing, and sleep in a round bed for the first time. - And now I don’t include all the other great things we managed to squeeze in during those three days. My friend Lisa should be so proud of herself for being the ultimate hostess this weekend, because thanks to her I now have some new memories for life. ;)

Amigo and Stephan

Me and the girls chilling out in Lisa's cozy terrace...

Group picture! :)

Haha, those Belgians know how to party :P

Denise, Lisa and her boyfriend Alex

Tarane was the only girl who went in to the freezing pool with the crazy guys :o

Party party xD

The next day we went to Lisa's football game to show our support...

We couldn't get enough of those group pictures :P

Kräftskiva/ crayfish dinner

And that was the last picture before my camera died. ;(

The world's longest traffic jam :o

Highways are suppose to be the quickest way of getting somewhere, but sometimes that’s just not the case. When any highway in Malaysia turns into a traffic jam, I am used to hearing the “whaaaat!? Are you kidding me? :o”, however, those 40 min of waiting is nothing compared to the traffic chaos in China that has been going on for 240 hours now.

Sitting in a traffic jam that stretches all the way from Beijing to inner Mongolia, while moving 500 m per day isn’t really a position you’d want to put yourself in. So, people out there that often get stuck in 40 min traffic jams - please remember that it could have been worse! ^^

My sweet 18

Turning 18 should be a memorable day, but I never imagined it to be this memorable…

My morning started rather weird as I for the first time woke up in the couch after my midnight attempt of trying to finish Breaking Dawn (which I actually did, though :P), and then when I looked out the window - it was raining! It never rains on my birthday! :O OK, never mind I thought as I got into the shower, just to discover that there was no hot water! So after an icy shower I was quickly off to school.

Little did I know though that my precious friends had a surprise waiting for me after lunch…

Obviously their theme for today was pink and Hello Kitty ;)

Later at night, sis took me out for dinner at the Italian restaurant Foro Romano

And then it was more presents and a truffle chocolate cake waiting for me in the kitchen at home…

Now I am drinking legally too :D

To summarize my day, all I can say is pretty damn good. OK, maybe a bit weird in the beginning, but with some optimism in mind things changed to become more than great. So all of my friends and family reading this: THANK YOU ALL FOR A GREAT SWEET 18! ♥

The countdown begins...

My throat is still sore, and I don’t know how much I will be able to talk today, but school is school and therefore I must go. A great thing waking up this morning though is that I know that it’s my birthday tomorrow!

The countdown can begin…;)

Hot honey water

Hot honey water has been my medicine for the past few hours, but I am not sure that it’s working more than temporarily for my sore throat. I seriously cannot and do not want to believe that I am sick. Two days before my birthday! ;(

Saturday's Eye-Candy: Lee Min Ho

Besides making me cry rivers for his role as Goo Jun Pyo in the Korean series Boys Over Flowers, this man has convinced me that I am so marrying a Korean guy when I get to that point in my life. Hihi. ^^

To me the model-gone-actor Lee Min Ho is like the ideal man. I mean I haven’t met him in reality, but come on. He is tall (187 cm!!!), looks good - or wait, he looks drop dead gorgeous - in everything he wears and does (even when he eats!), and in addition to this he is incredible in what he does - which is acting, modeling, and even some singing. According to me, his crying scenes were the best out of everyone’s in Boys Over Flowers. :o

Some other facts that make him even more suitable for being Saturday’s ultimate eye-candy is that he is a romantic and the fact that he hasn’t got a girlfriend! Shocking? Yes. And OK, I don’t like to turn other people’s unhappiness into my own happiness, but I can’t help to think that this gives me (and millions -.-) of girls out there hope as he says that he is looking for one. ;)

Like me he only has one dimple

Yes. Please start in my school :)

Lee Min Ho with co-worker Goo Hye-Sun...

and the rest of the yummi guys in Boys Over Flowers

Wow. It’s damn hard choosing which pictures to take when he looks amazing in every single one. All I have left to say is that: if you don’t think that he has charisma, who really does?

Surprise dinner

Not to brag too much, but my friend Lewar should be pretty happy with having friends who manage to improvise a birthday dinner for her in a couple of hours. Hihi ;)

Shilan, Lisa, and Sabina preparing the food (Lisa proved to be a very good cook I must say ;D)

The birthday girl

Me and Bianca

It's over

Last night I watched the last episode of Boys Over Flowers and I seriously could not stop crying. How am I going to survive now when it‘s over?! I know that I probably sound lame, but I can’t help it. I need my daily those of the Cinderella story that every girl dreams of…

Oh my, looking at these pictures make my eyes tear up again... ;(
