It's nearly the end of 2008!

Got to work today to find out I've won a raffles prize, a Spa Gift Card. Was supposed to be given out on xmas eve. But given the fact that I left early to catch the flight to Berlin that day, I wasn't there when that happened. Didn't much expected it. So was a great surprise gift! Spa spa spa, here I come wuhu!

So back to blogging business today. What have I been up to? 

Spent xmas in Berlin with mum and dad. Was very cold. It snowed a bit when we were outside Pergamon museum. And it was -1 degrees! Blimey! Stayed in Concorde in Kurfurstendamm. Very nice hotel. The package from expedia was brilliant! Literally hopped from one xmas market to the other, although dad wasn't that appreciative having to wait for two ladies shopping arnd. Malls were open but shops inside weren't, so didn't buy much stuff.  Covered almost most of the important stuff in 2 days, pretty good. Quite an easy city to move around, so much easier than Russia!!!

After Russia, took another 2 weeks off in Oct and went back KL and then went to the Xian, Henan and Shanghai trip. Quite like Shanghai, loads of skyscrapers! The only downside is the people's attitude (think shall not elaborate further... :)). It was work work and work back in UK and normal stuff.

Sales started quite early this year because of the credit crunch. Debenhams for e.g. was  doing 20% most items in store even before xmas. And after xmas sales was even better! 50% off half the Dior store. Am so happy to have bought a purse for half the price!
