Switzerland

Switzerland was my 2nd destination after London. This destination was the total opposite of what we've gone through in London. Switzerland was like heaven with all the luxury.

When we landed, there was already 2 men waiting for our arrival, one was the driver. And drivers wear coats! They pulled our luggages for us, thank god bcuz my hands were already aching from the 1st day.

We spent all our time at Gstaad, a village up on the mountains. We stayed at Gstaad Palace, the most renowned hotel there. It hosted many big named figures. Mind you, we did not need to pay for all these luxury. It's thanks to my mum's customer's company having their 30th anniversary celebration. So they invited 200 over guests from all over the world for a 3days-2nights holiday. I heard he payed about a million for this event. There's even a board outside the hotel saying "Hotel closed to public for private event from 7th to 9th Sept". Everything was payed for, from our meals to the spa and hair saloon, and they even provided shoes, jackets and golf clubs depending on whatever activity you chose.

The hotel front

There's a TV in the bathroom so that you can watch while soaking in the tub. Cool.

I love the mountains. It's so relaxing up there.

Snow on mountains.

Photographs of famous people who stayed here before.

Hehe. Luxurious car. I wonder whose does it belongs to. Anyone who owns a Bentley like the greyish-silver one behind can propose to me and I'll consider! Haha. Oh no, my bf will kill me for saying that. Which girl would mind having a rich guy?? The answer is none. Then I can become a siu-lai-lai, ohhh how I wish!! I need to wake up from my dream.

I mean owners of Bentley like this!

I love the scenery. Can I migrate there when I retire??

We took the ski-lift thingy (as in the photo above) up the mountain for picnic and down with this cute bus.

Swiss music

Before the gala dinner. Performances during dinner was good, but socialising session was pretty boring. I don't know how to socialise with people aged 40+ and who are millionaires ok? They talk about things which I've never heard of. Puts me to sleep only. So what I did to entertain myself was to look out for the cute guy I met earlier. He was there helping his dad, the photographer for the event. We started talking earlier that day when we sat together on the bus. At least we are of the same frequency, not like those rich uncles.

A surprise performance after the dinner by Boney M. My mum says my dad will be so jealous if he sees this pic bcuz I have a photo taken with Boney M. They're singers of our parents' generation. I actually didn't know who are they until my mum told me.

I wonder if I'll get to enjoy this kind of luxury ever again. Ever. It's like a once in a lifetime thing.

Oh yea, and if you do go to Switzerland, their butter, cheese, milk and chocolates are must-eat. I ate so much cheese and butter that I wonder if I put on any weight. I put butter in my mouth whenever I feel like it. Damn I must be crazy.

Sigh, not many photos taken bcuz mummy warned me not to embarrass myself by taking unnecessary photos. U know, like pics of food, etc.
