01.04.2007 - 06.04.2007

Sharon came with her friend Eva from Barcelona over the past 3 days and i have been busy bringing them around so haven't had time to blog. Many apologies for that. So once again, Yeesh does an entry of what she has done over the week.

Monday(01.04.2007)

Went to Kaiko with Kiki, Chiori, Shinie and Jennifer. Lol... had fun. Now i have one more bunch of girls i can ask out. =)

Jennifer, Shinie, Me, Kiki

Tuesday(02.04.2007)

Spent half the day in bed sleeping then i went out to meet Taina and her bf, Yuca (at least i think it's spelt this way). Yuca is going to be here till next week so i definitely hope i will get to see him again. It was nice chatting to him especially after i've heard so much abt him from Taina.

Yuca is also an addict to cakes and so, after lunch, we had coffee and cake together.
Here you see Mozart Bombe - it is chocolate sponge cake with pistacho nuts cream. =)

Wednesday(03.04.2007)

Sharon, Eva on the way to Schönbrunn after they dumped their luggage in my room.

This time round i climbed up the hill and got myself a great view of the palace and the city. Too bad it was cold. If not, i would have enjoyed sitting in the gardens while waiting for them.

We also visited the Easter Market after that but too bad it was already closing and so there was nothing much. The cold also drove people away from the markets. Sighz... that's all i got out from the Easter Market.

Cutes right? It was like calling out to me asking me to buy it. =P If it is still there on sunday, i MIGHT just buy it.

After that we went to a heuriger and as usual, had good good food. =)

Thursday(04.04.2007)

Sharon and Eva went to Stephensdom and after that, met Yvonne and i at Hotel Sacher, the place with the Original Sachertorte and may i say that it's really very very nice. The Sachertorte at other places just cannot be compared to this one.

Friday(05.04.2007)

Sharon went to Salzburg to meet her Salzburger and so Eva and i spent a quiet day out. We visited the Kaiserappartments, Sisi museum and also the Habsburg silver collection (all inside the Hofburg). It was great. =) Glad that i visited the Hofburg with her.

Me with Hofburg in the bg. Erms... do i look like i've put on weight? It's important to know cos while bringing them around, i have been eating really really rich Austrian food.

The dinner service for the imperial family, the plates are all lined with a gold border. This is their normal dinner service. Can you even imagine the special one?

This is their longest centre piece for State dinners. It's over 30m long. I had to take 5 photos just to get it all in. Luxurious yea?

Look at their linen! It was always folded so nicely during state dinners but sadly, this is a dying art. Not many people can do this now.

A gift from the French to Empress Maria Theresia. Look at the green. it's really super bright and the amount of details on the porcelain is also amazing.

Duck squeezers. They were used to squeeze meat juice out of bones and livers of animals so that Empress Elisabeth could drink them and get her energy. She was always on a diet to maintain her figure.

Sculpture of Empress Elisabeth (or better known as Sisi) She supposedly one of the most beautiful woman of her time (she has a waist of like 51 cm) and is quite popular. But oh well, i don't like her. I almost hate her. Think i'm almost turning Austrian. I just can't believe how badly she treated Kaiser Franz Joseph and how she was never there for him.

Oh, may i add that Kaiser Franz Joseph is now my new idol. I really admire him. He really did so much for the people of Austria!

And after visiting the silver collection, Eva and i walked to a nearby snack stand and got ourselves some food. Lol~ Eva and Sharon still can't believe that one serving of pizza here is 1/4 of the pizza. =) As u can see, Yeesh will NEVER ever do things like what Sisi did. Food is just too important.

Anyway, this weekend will most probably be less eventful than the week itself but i'm really looking forward to it. I wanna go back to relaxing, drinking coffee and reading. Will be going for a Heuriger with Alex and Kaman on Saturday. After that, i will be going out for coffee with Andreas and he will attempt to teach me some german. Lol~ Let's hope he succeeds.
