My Year End Plan

It might seem a wee bit early but I'm currently planning for our annual year end holiday, this year we're planning to go overseas though the exact location is pretty much not determine yet. Our budget per person is below rm 6000, as it involves a lot of money so the surveying process must start now. We have narrowed down our preferred location to several interesting places such as tje one shown below :

a) Turkey
b) Beijing + shanghai
c) Cairo / Sinai / Alexandria
d) Sydney & Canberra
e) German / Czech Republic / Slovakia / Hungary / Austria (slightly over budget)

So what do you reckon? Which one of the above would you choose?

My Sweet Tooth

For the past 4 weekends, I had to ate cakes or pastries of that sort. My wife, out of nowhere decided to make it her own personal mission or crusade to bake something every weekend, and it will usually involves whole truckloads of egg, sugar and chocolate.

She started the whole baking thing with :

a) Marble Cake ( 4 weeks ago)
b) Strawberry Cheesecake ( 3 weeks ago)
c) Chocolate Éclair ( 2 Weeks ago)
d) Chocolate Cheesecake (This weekend - out of request from my uncle's)
e) Chocolate Caramel Tart ( Next weekend, her to-do list is even longer than mine's)

Not that I'm complaining anything, but it tastes mighty delicious much to my chagrin. Displeasure in this context must be read as - Heck, I have to eat 2 trays of cheesecake every weekend, this will not bode well with my ever expanding waistline.

On another note, I've to attend MirrorView/SANcopy training at the end of the month. I'm pretty much excited about this training, reason? - I want to be certified as EMC Certified Expert in Clariion Related Technology by the end of the year.
