Spring in Basel

Beautiful trees near my apartment,
Basel is really really a small town

near the border of *or should i say really really near*

of France & Germany.
It's so near that u can walk over.
at Claraplatz

this time around, the weather should be cool, crisp and lovely....
but this year....
BRRRRRRRRRRR~~~~~
it was hovering at 2 degrees centigrade with the occasional SNOW
yes SNOWWWW
WTF!!!!

I still recalled,
last year I was walking around town in my flip flop and summer dress.
anyway for the 1st time, we had a pre-meeting before the fair at Radisson Hotel
I can see how important my market was by the positioning of seats in the conference room.

Monkey looking around for her seat.
"Where is it where is it?"

Chris da boss standing in front waving at me
"over here!!!!"

"Wah anymore front ar??? First row!!!"
"Yep, just put it this way, our orders for the 1st quarter beat the rest."
"means I kenot sleep lar later???"
"whack your head. I don't send u here to sleep."
:P ok ok ok

In the end, guess who doze off??
hahahahahhaa.

Ms. Whitherspoon said it's too glaring for her newly "lasered" eyes

Alex ah beng: "I'll look nicer mar in fitted apparels."

Alex ah beng can only settle for salad.

"Good, cherry is here....u think my wife will like this one or that one???"
