Moscow in New Light

Heh~

I know i've been MIA for quite sometime... Hardly been posting cos i've simply no energy to sit and blog. Hardly have time to sleep even.

Reason?

I've been chasing flights after flights, sometimes with no off days. Just like recently, in order to maxmise my off days, the next day after i got back from 10 day Dubai-Moscow, *Phoof* i left for Sydney again. Away for almost 2 weeks at a shot, wonder if my family is used to seeing my empty bed when they passed by my room???

2 of my most triumphant deals of this month? Getting rid of my Amritsar, as well as HKG turn for a Beijing ;)

But haiz.... Even if such good deals keep dropping from the sky, i cant do it all the time. Been pushing my physical tolerrance to the limit recently, with the insane work schedule i have....

Back to Moscow~

This trip was really Moscow in a New Light to me, and same for those whom like me had been to Moscow in the winter times.

And i have to say this: i have no regrets changing for this flight cos never have i come across such good dynamics amongst the whole set of crew, couple with beautiful weather in Moscow, it is the best trip i ever had since my career took off last year.

Rounds after rounds of Asshole Dai-Di in Marc's room on the first night in Moscow.




My first proper dinner in Russia, aside from all the MacDonalds.


It's so clean compared to winter.


Red Square again the next day.
Didn't join the tour in order to save a freaking USD$66!! Second time back in Moscow, i believe my nagivation should be better, together with 2 other second timers, i don't think we'll get lost.


So much more happening. And much more foreign tourists.






Simulating a historial march across the Red Square?

St. Basil Cathedral again. Beautiful setting for photos with such pretty weather =)


And we couldn't stop laughing at this one taken by another tourist. He doesn't seem to understand the point of the photo, which is actually the cathedral behind us. >.<"




Paid a small fee to go into the cathedral and to my shock, it is so small and literally nothing much inside. Not really a place for worship.




And we bumped into the FO and his wife. They seem to be on a budget trip cos they walked everywhere they go!


Al Fresco Dinning in Moscow can you believe it? ;)


Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, up next.


Simply captivated... Flowers in Moscow!! =9






More KuKu pics with the siao gang.




The Trinity church in the outskirts of Moscow city on the last day.










More Russian dolls, but this time round i only bought 1 with a painting of the Trinity Church soldered on the belly of the doll for myself, something to remember this trip by.


This is how you spell MacDonald's in Russian.


And the tour guide ended the trip by treating us to Vodka and chocolates on board =)

Haha most of us knock out a little during the bus journey back to the city.

To make the most out of this trip before time's running out, some of us wanted to catch the world reown Russian circus...

Luck was on our side, we managed to buy tickets from the box office at only SG$15!!! We were expecting a full house and having to get the tickets from the black market, which was expected to be about 20 USD?
*Phewz*

Photos taken secretly, cos cameras and video-ing is banned!






After the circus, more non-sense photo-taking again haha.




Back in Dubai, Doughnuts!!!!
Been craving to have the Doughnut Factory ones but to no avail. So i shall settle for Dunkin Donut.
And Alas! The damages i did to my weight >.<"
