You Belong to me & I'm Yours..

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while
You belong to me

See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so lonesome without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too


Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me

Maybe you'll be lonesome too


Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me


------------------------------------------------------------
Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love
listen to the music at the moment, maybe sing with me
Ah, like peaceful melody
It's your god forsaken right to be loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, I'm Yours, I'm Yours..

Sweet Taste of Africa



My First Taste of Africa... to Ghanna... Accra..

I came with a stereotyped mindset that this was going to be a terrible layover..
i was called out at 5.00am for a flight that was due to leave at 7.45am.. and there i was... going to africa.. this trip is such that it's from DXB-ACC(48HRS)-ABJ-ACC(24HRS)-DXB ... which means i had 3 whole days in Accra..

the rainforst tour was something i wanted to do but having to drive 4 hours there and back wasn't really my cuppa tea... so i my crew and i decided to give that a pass.. but i'm definately going for it another time. they have the canopy walk.. which is something i really wanna do..

so we went to the market instead... where they sold lots of craft and fabric... but i bought some african craft for my home and we met some really frienly shop keepers. the one in the picture.. and the during the drive to the market.. i was suprise to see people walking on the streets near traffic lights wanting to sell stuff so they could earn something... like crackers, fruits, calender?!? and maps, newspapers.. and even the disabled were on wheelchairs begging for money to eat...

the first night.. we went to Golden Tulip.. which is the other crew hotel and but.. the ambience was beautiful... dinner by the poolside with an african band playing to music such as Bob Marley and Carlos Santana... and we experienced the sweet taste of dancing to african music... i loved it!!..

clubbing was really fun and not what i kinda expected too... it was like a prostitute club that we went too and everyone seems to love dancing with their reflection ... they don't dance with each other.. they look at mirrors and dance... which was so funny ... another club i went to... we played pool and i had people buying me drink and loads of dancing and fun... we met up with the other crew from arista air (i think).. a UK airline and the crew were fantastic as well...

Overall.. my african experience was great.. the people are really friendly and they speak very good english, i must say... i like it and i' definately going back there...

Lovez...

Sin - Bne - Auk





Hey you guys.. been quite a while since i blogged... i've been home and to brisbane... it was a long 9 day trip but i loved every minute of it... esp Brisbane... William (Will) and i had a wonderful time touring around and visiting places... we took the boat ride (city cat) around and the houses and yatches were beautiful... i love the air there too.. was so clean and fresh... and my goodness... we just kept drinking when we went on our layover... it was amazing... cosmo and baileys...

on our first 48 hours there ... we met up with the other crew and we went clubbing... it was this open window club playing house music... we met a few of their gay friends... and my goodness..they were getting it on there... what's more... we went to a gay nightclub there... haha... it was one experience for me and it was so fun and funny... the next night before flying to Aukland... Will and i went to the pub called THE PLATFORM, just along the streets of the hotel and they were playing jazz music... it reminded me so much of my dad and how i wish he was there to have a drink with me... i really enjoyed myself..
the next time i go down, i'm definately going to go to Gold Coast which is just a train ride down from brisbane...

i love austrailia... though it's the first time i'm there... i'd love to visit Melbourn, perth, sydney and back to brisbane again... love it...

Thank you Lord..

Lovez..
