Good bye 2005 - Hello 2006!

The end of the year is fast approaching and am definitely feeling the excitement. thoughts of what will we be doing on new year's eve will creep this time around every year, but just like any other year, we will probably end up at home sleeping or watch tv when the clock strikes midnight ...pathetic isn't it? i just made a call to a pretty nice hotel in downtown KL, just to find out how much it would cost to spend the new year's eve there, and guess how much it is?! 700 bucks!! ok..will keep that in mind..but i really wouldn't mind staying there just for a night! :) then..there's my 3rd year anniversary coming up too in January..and i asked how much would it be around that time of the year..around 400 but without breakfast..hmm..when am i going to get a complimentary voucher to stay in the pretty nice hotel??

The past week has been a little crazy for me. nazim was not too well, and so wasn't i...been feeling ok one day and not-so-ok another day..but today, i'm feeling OK and energetic. seriously, this pregnancy has been quite tough compared to the first one..i'm just a little over 6 months now but gosh, i feel like i am ready to deliver anytime and going up the flight of stairs at home seems like a marathon every time, resulting in me panting for air and lying down on the bed for a couple of minutes. even going to bed has been quite a challenge for every position i try is either hurting my back, or poking my ribs. and the headaches..getting them too often lately.

I was looking at the academic calendar and was excitedly planning for a holiday next year...the 2 millions free seats from air asia sure sound tempting doesn't it? i better get amin to sit down and work this out before we miss out on the free tickets!!! we haven't been to bali before..that's one of the places i have in mind..and then there's jakarta, surabaya, medan, bandung....out of these 4 places, which one is better? i've heard people saying that bandung is a better place to go...i'm looking for a nice place to go to relax (have a nice massage and spa), shop (no traffic jams, please) and dine. appreciate your suggestions!

I also have other places in mind which we have not yet been...like Egypt, Morocco, Spain (the madrid/cordova side), pakistan (we should probably go there since amin's relatives are there), and australia (a good reason to go since my sis-in-law is there!). we haven't been to eastern europe but for some reason, both of us are not that keen to go to that part of the world. maybe when we really don't have anywhere else to go..

coming back to what are we doing for new year's?....still thinking...
