you know what ...
mode: dreamy

its 9 pm sunday night and i switch on my machine as i was thinking of doing some work. but i ended up browsing few pics from my previous trips.
i had 27 days of leave, not to mention zillions of time off, this year. i couldn't possibly take leave until october. pray tell come october, they're going to implement user interface for hr system and unlucky me being involved in hr might not be able to take leave then. so i could only dream on how to use these 27 days of leave when i can take it.
yes i've been having quite a few week end getaways which mostly involved physical activities. No, i am not complaining, thats my dream getaway! what i'm dreaming of is something really relaxing. i dream of going back to one country i am really in love with.
in this dream of mine, i stay at a bed and breakfast hotel. wake up early and take a stroll along the arrondisement where i stay, have a cup of tea accompanied by some pastries and a good book in one of the cafes, take a sit in the outdoor cafe and do some people watching along avenue de champs elysees. take the stairs instead of the elevator up to le tour d'eiffel. walk along montmartre and stop for brunch enjoying the surrounding view of paris from the hill of sacre couer. walk from one end of a bridge to another end then walk along river seine to another bridge and repeat the crossing again and again trying to cover as many bridges as i can while capturing the surrounding views in my mind. relaxing at trocadero looking at the beautiful le tour d'eiffel. take a cruise along the river seine, enjoying the smell of the river while allowing the wind to play with my hair. take a train for a day trip to the countryside.

oohhh .. how i really wish i could realise this dream one day - any takers?
