Dubai...

So arrived at some ungodly hour this morning, few hours sleep then onto work!! Therefore not much time to blog!!

I've so far had a manic day at work.

A romantic dinner for 1:

And 4 strongbows:

Happy days!!

Leaving on a jetplane - BEDN day 22

What a perfect topic for today, I am currently in a taxi heading to the airport to fly to Dubai.  My final work trip of 2013!!  I am seeing places I would never dream of without this job, I would never think to go to Hong Kong and I would certainly not pay the prices to have a beach holiday in Dubai when I could go to Turkey or Greece!! These are opportunities you don't get twice!

There's nothing set in stone for next year yet but looks like a fair few trips to Germany, Singapore (where they have a universal studios so I have my fingers tightly crossed for that one!!), Beijing and various other places!!

This along with my 3 weeks dream holiday with Dad, saving for a house, backstreet boys, McBusted and Justin Timberlake in concert, my dating challenge, graduation and graduation party means that 2014 is going to be the best year yet!! Don't get me wrong I'm not wishing my life away, I'm very much looking forward to a relaxed Christmas with dad and New Year with the family! I kind of wish that I had done some Xmas shopping though, it's gonna be tough to get in all done in a few weeks (those weeks being December as well!!) but hey ho I have no uni work to do and no trips for work so plenty of time for shopping :)

Sorry for the lack of photos but there will be plenty from Dubai :)

Back up to date with BEDN - Fashion

Today I am supposed to blog about Fashion!!  Me....fashion!! I'm about at fashionable as a peanut!!  In fact this is currently my favourite item of clothing:

I have a pac-a-mac that I love and take to all theme parks and travels in case it rains and it makes me look like a complete loser but I love it:

In fact, I wore one of favourite outfits on a trip to Blackpool with the family and we had a professional photo taken at the top of the tower (as if we were sitting on a girder!).  Anyway we were very pleased with this photo and took it home to show the rest of the family.  My nan, looked at it, looked at me, looked at the photo again and tutted.  Then she grabbed a bowl off the table and started going around all the family asking for money.  She came back and said 'sorry I was trying to do a whip round, you obviously need some more clothes' while looking my outfit up and down!  Turns out I was wearing the same outfit as in the photo (and apparently i'm supposed to be a A list celebrity who doesn't wear the same outfit twice!!)

My Dating Challenge (yesterdays BEDN post)

I have struggled with the idea of dating for a long time, I don't like doing it, I don't enjoy it and certainly wouldn't casually date.  But I think this is something I need to get over, so with the encouragement of my colleague at work I have decided to set myself a challenge.  In the new year, I must go on 10 dates in 3 months, whether they be from online dating or someone I already know, either way I'm going to do it.  One of my closest friends once said, dating isn't that bad you just need to keep doing it until it feel normal - I need to push through the anxiety and stop making it such a big deal.



So I will start in January and by the end of March I will have been on 10 dates....

I will be blogging about the experience so expect some laughs and more than likely some dating disasters but all in all I think this will be a good experience for me and will help me move forward in my 'dating' life!!

Too tired to blog!

Today I am exhausted!! Jet lag has set in something rotten and I can barely move!! I spent the morning with my cousin and then drove back from Guildford, which is exhausting in itself and then add that the jetlag!! Urgh!!

Therefore, I don't have anything exciting to say in this but I have to post everyday to complete the challenge!!

Three days in the office then off to Dubai so should have some good photos and stories from there :)

Silent Sunday!!

DISNEYLAND!!!

What else would I blog about today!!!  Today I have been to Disneyland Hong Kong and what an experience! It's much smaller than the Disney parks I have been to before (in fact it makes Florida's look like a small country!!) but with the Christmas lights up its a great experience!! 

The train is even Disney themed:

...Mickey hand rails:

The amazing Festival of the Lion King:

An the Flight of Fantasy parade:

And the lights...

#BEDN halfway point!!

A picture is worth a thousand words:

Another day...another post about Hong Kong

So I spent last night on a tram going up the side of a mountain to The Peak!! It's basically a shopping centre that has amazing views over the Hong Kong/Kowloon skylines!! It's quite incredible and very frustrating that you can't get a photo that shows exactly what it's like to be up there!! I took a lot of photos but none of them captured the view as I was seeing it there and then!!! It was breathtaking!!

So after visiting the viewing platform I went to the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company where I got a table in the window looking over the whole view - what an experience!!

Finally, I headed back down on the tram (after a little visit to the Hard Rock Cafe Store for a pressie for my favourite little person!) which was much more pleasant than the way up as I had a seat!!  Going up I was standing and the whole thing tilts backwards to climb the hill, I was holding on for dear life I tell you!!

I'm going to relax tonight because I'm feeling very tired today even though I slept quite well.  Tomorrow I will be heading to Ladies Market to see what bargains I can get for Xmas presses and then Disneyland on Saturday - I can't quite believe I'm going there in 2 days, it seemed like a lifetime away when I planned it!! Believe me there will be an entire post dedicated to Disney :)
