Matt's Birthday + Aurora!
It's was Matt's 24th Birthday on 26th Aug and he invited everyone in the hotel to his party. Though if it weren't for Dessi, i wouldn't even know about it.
I almost tot i won't be able to go cos of it's rather far and there ain't transport provided. Good news arrive at 10-11plus when Lacey came over to fetch Simona and i was invited to join along. Tried to wake Selle up but she was more interested in sleeping. So i got changed in 2 mins and off we went!
This is the birthday boy. He have numerous tattoos all over his body and the most obvious ones are names of his nephew, niece (on both side of the neck) and son (on the arm).
Some random pictures taken inside the house. It was decorated with many beautiful balloons! One bonus of being the guest relations mgr. hah.
more random pictures. we sat around a campfire just outside the house. after sometime, people started getting tired of fetching the firewood from the back of the house and started throwing the wooden bench we were sitting on as fuel. Luckily Dessi and me manage to rescue our bench from the fire before its too late.
And finally, the picture you're waiting for...
We had a clear view of the Aurora from where we sat. It's so much better than waking up in the middle of the night to walk to the main building to see it. Cos we are wide awake and there was fire to keep us warm. oh man, how i wish i can do this everynight.
This is my fav cos it has a teeny weeny bit of pur-pur streak. See that? I dedicate this pic to Karene, the first person who told me about Aurora. U rocks! Though i must add a disclaimer that this pic is not taken by me, as my cam batt went dead half-way. Aurora pics credits goes to Dessi.
Pweety pweety. Happie happie. =D

Off-day with e Bulgarians
Finally, my first off-day after a 12-day marathon.
Never sign for lunch as I intented to go for breakie. But as you probably expected, i didn't wake up till late morning. Went with Selle to confirm with Cynthia our departure arrangments on the 12th, followed by a quick visit to 3Bears to stock up on our milk and juice.
Promised the BUlgarians I'll be right back to join them at the grasspatch in front of 20units. But by the time i return, they will already on their way to Tok General Store for ice-cream! Was terribly late but luckily they didn't mind. It was Gergana (aka Giggly) abd Elena's 1st off-day after 3 months. Before that they either work as Busser (sometimes also Maintainence, House(wo)man) in Westmark or as Janitor/House-keeper at Fast Eddy's. The 2 (very) hard-working girls can finally get their well deserved off. They are delighted and i fell happy for them too.
It was still early when we came back from the general store. So they went to relax at the grass patch again. Yay! cos i like it there. felt so carefree laying on the grass. Took plenty of photos for them, and a couple for myself. And i finally get to take the danelions video i always wanted, with the help of Giggly! Blagodaria!
Giggly and Elena are leaving on the 9th, hence Joseph (fellow busser) gave them a set of mini colour pens as farewell gifts. It was then i know that Elena actually share the same things of coloured pens. Haa. The was 5 of them and they took 2 each and gave me the purple one! My fav colour, how sweet! With some prompting from Giggly, i started scribbling on her body. She wanted chinese words on her arm, and since i cant think of any nice chinese characters (i've already written one of my fav chinese characters - 'love' in tradidtional chinese on her shoulder), so i wrote my name. hee.
It was nice hanging out with them. The only sad thing is that i've lost my purple pen. =\

98% occupancy rate in Aug'07
After the girls left, we are only left with 5 housekeepers. With Desis doing housekeeping, Jean have to help out Francis at the laundrey. And all 7 of us are working 7 days this week, at least 9 hrs a day. We usually work fr 7am -4.15pm, which will be 11pm-8.15am in SG.
Our last off-day was last Tue (14 Aug) and our next off-day is coming Mon (27 Aug), hence we'll be working without any off-day for 12 days! Sounds scarry indeed. But the always-eager-to-earn-more-money-bulgarians have been working without off-days for weeks. Who are we to complain then?
Well.. typical Sinagporeans aka complain-queens.
Looking on the bright side, we'll have 3 off-days in the week of 3-9 Sept, including 3rd Sept. Time for good rest before the travelling starts!
Tentatively, we'll be leaving Tok on 12th Sept (prolly on Alaskan Bus Direct) to Anchorage. We'll travel around Alaska from there for 4-5 days. Cruise, flight-seeing, glacier-viewing, wildlife-watching are all in consideration. Leaving on 16/17th to Seattle (via domestic flight) and will travel down south from there. Prolly will be meeting Ditty at Las Vegas on the 23rd Sept and he'll bring us around Vegas, California, San Fransico & LA I guess.. We'r also planning to visit Disneyland in LA on our last night! Have changed our China Airline flight to fly from LA to Taipei on the 30th Aug and back to SG on 10th Oct. That gives us 9-10 days in Taiwan!
Will be discussing the US trip details with Ditty this weekend. Shall update again when things are finalised and I've the internet connection.
Cos our internet subscription expires 26 Aug 1.23pm (Ak time). Sobz.
Will be isolated again real soon...

Farewell Dinner - Bye Meiyin, Christina, Shiwy & Eunice.
During the girls' last few days in Tok, we planned a series of to-do, to-go, to-eat list.
1st Stop: May's Hamburger Joint.
They have reeli interesting decorations. For example: the mini urn between Shiwen & me that says: Ashes of problematic customers.
2nd Stop: Fast Eddy's
MeiYin, Shiwen & I shared Alaskan King crab, while the other 3 shared New York Ribs & Shrimps. No words can describe the taste of the crab we had.... hmmm...
Love their red restroom. As though we'r in a club.
We forgot to tell the helpful passer-by that we want the whole Fast Eddy's logo to be in. Nvm. Someone will photoshop in for us. Eunice/Shiwen *hint*
It's decided that since Meiyin have painstakingly brought the 2-man tent all the way from Singapore, we die die have to use it. Da-dah!
