Mauritius Holiday Videos 1

Posted on 12 August 2006 by Carine Olivia

I took so many gigs of photos and there’s no more space in my D Drive! I need to get another external harddisk soon. Well I’m still compiling the photos and once they are ready I will add some to my Mauritius Gallery 2006 album. In the meantime, here are some of the videos taken during my holidays using my Canon S2 IS . Will upload some more another time.

Unfortunately the holidays are over

Well we are back to Singapore and I already miss my parents and lazing on the beach! Do you know that going on a holiday can turn you into a dummy? haha. Two weeks is enough to rob you of any intellectual edge. Yeah 14 days of complete rest can be enough to bring your IQ down by 20 points. That’s why reading a book can be enough to keep you smart :) Well I read this somewhere!

I’m longing for another holiday. The only thing that I had missed while I was away was my cat! I didn’t miss work. Who would miss work!!? Bleah. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I think I will be bombarded with new projects.

Anyway here are some highlight from the last couple of days.

An afternoon at Flic en Flaq beach.

Posted on 03 August 2006 by Carine Olivia

10.15pm here. We are all in the living room. Dear is writing some training programmes and my parents are watching tv. It’s still early but I am already feeling sleepy hehe. I feel sleepy at around the same time everyday! Tomorrow will be another full day. We are going on an outing with my cousins. Will be visiting quite a lot of places of interests (gris gris, black river gorge, crocodile park etc.) So yeah, gotta sleep early tonight!

So today we went to Shoprite (a big super market) to buy some food stuffs and I had pizza for lunch.
