Uncanny Adventures in Switzerland and London

I know i have completely stoppped blogging. Haha. Main reason is that I have been busy with work and blogging about my work is not very interesting and fun.

I did somehow took a 2 weeks off to London and Switzerland. The main thing is to visit my sister's university which she has been accepted. She is taking a fashion retail course and the most amazing thing is that her university is just nearby the shopping district area of Oxford Street. When we came out from the underground stop of Oxford Circus; all the famous English retail shops like Topshop, Dorothy Perkins.. and more.

We had a good time in London, did some shopping and a lot of window shopping. Haha. We had good english meals including a big and hearty english breakfast every morning and a big dinner as well. I felt in love with the jacket potatoes which i had in a cafe near Madam Tussaud's museum, the portion is incredibly big!

As my auntie is an alumini of Oxford University, we paid a visit to Oxford and stayed at the guestroom of her college. The environment of the her college is absolutely beautiful and serene, where there is lush of greens and a nice little pond within the college.

After London, we went on to Switzerland as my auntie have never been there before.. We had a lovely 3days 2 night trip in Zermatt but the uncanny adventure begins after we left Zermattt...
Before leaving Zermatt, I actually almost forgotten to took my pouch bag which i had left it in the computer room of the hotel we stayed. I did go back and get it and fortunately everything is there. But.. i have a feeling that something is not right... NEXT my auntie lost her passport!!!!
We had problems in communicating with the local police because my french is not good enough and they don't speak very good english. Somehow we did find out there is an Malaysian Embassy in Geneva and quickly rush there hopefully that they could help.
Thank God luck is at our side! We did manage to make it on time and my auntie got a temporary certificate to make sure she could travel back to London and also to Malaysia. All thanks to the Swiss-Malaysian Consulate - Mr Azril who has been so helpful in assisting us and making sure we arrive London safely.

Welll.. it was a longgg flight back home and I just glad that we did make it home! I am still suffering from some mild jetlag and hope that I could adjust it before I start work!

chuus and update later...
