CAMELOT FANTASIES

Hey everyone.
I don't really have time to read back (my internet connection at work is also way too slow, the pages take ages to load).

What a big surprise to see Cilic winning the USO. I was really expecting one of the usual suspects to claim the title. I'm happy that I was proven wrong.

Things are still the same here. Doing way better, the tonsillitis is gone, I'm back to working out. No news on the Lufthansa flight attendant jobs yet. They said that due to the high number of applications they would take a bit longer to schedule a phone interview with all the applicants who have passed the online tests. I assume all I can do now is sit and wait. On October 11 there is an open assessment for those who are interested in working with Emirates. I would consider working with them too even if it means relocating to Dubai for at least a few months.
For the first time in many months I don't have any concrete travel plans. Feels weird. I might just go to Paris for a few days at the beginning of October. I have seen some recent pictures and it still looks as beautiful as ever. I wanna go back there. 

Well, that's all from me. Maybe next week I have some more time to stop by from work. Fortunately I don't have that much to do at the moment.

Thank you.

Yeah, I'm ready. Unfortunately I start working tomorrow so I will miss most of the late (for European folks) matches again.

Ah, Dubrovnik in Croatia. I want to go there for 3 days in August just to spend some time chilling on the beach. Then I don't know if i will head East or West to spend a couple of weeks more.

The only memories from Toronto that I have involve lots of snow and freezing cold temperatures. Hahaha.

Singapore is amazing. I was there during the rainy season so we had 3 days of non-stop rain and humidity. Don't even know if the bar already existed back then. We also went to a sky bar but it was at another hotel. I would love to go back there one day. I'm not a big holiday resort and theme park fan but I would love to go on Sentosa Island. Actually Singapore is called the "fine city". You can get fined for almost everything even for bringing a heavily stinking durian fruit on the metro with you. Hahahha.

Rijeka, Croatia



Trsat fortress with a wonderful view

Bled, Slovenia

It was raining like crazy but the place was still magical.







Sadly I couldn't go to the little church on the island.

Jajce, Bosnia

This place is truly amazing. There is a waterfall directly in the city. 30 minutes outside of Jajce there are lovely historical watermills on the lakes which are formed by the river running through Jajce.

The historical center is lovely too. So many fortified buildings, an underground church, old mosques and a castle on top of the hill overlooking the entire city.

It was raining a lot too. Actually I don't know what is the situation there now. Apparently the area was also affecting by last month's floods. 

I'm sure more and more people will find their way here soon. It is nice to stop by after a long time and still see the usual suspects posting here. When I return to MTF after a long absence, I don't even recognize 10% of the user names.

Thanks a lot. After today's work-out I'm feeling quite fine, I hope things will stay like this until next Friday. Fortunately I know once I can stop taking the new medication, I will feel better again quickly. As for my dad, I hope the heart specialist will give him good news. Tomorrow I want to book a trip to Morocco for the 2 of us. A travel club that he is a member of is offering a great trip to all the major cities down there for 70% off the regular price. I just need to call as soon as their office opens tomorrow to see if they still have 2 spots available for us. Would be a shame to miss it. I hope that giving my dad something to look forward to will make him take care a little bit more of himself. He has been way too stubborn to go to the doctor for regular check-ups and even now we need to beg him all the time to go there whenever his condition gets worse.

I'm currently feeling quite inspired to start a blog of my own. Being sick has given me lots of time to browse the internet and dig deep into the world of blogging. Most likely it will be something about travels and stuff like that. I could add something about tennis as well but I don't have any self-taken pics to spice up my posts. Taking pics from the internet would always leave my worrying about possible legal consequences.  Hahaha. People who are fortunate enough to go to tournaments also have a better insight than little old me who has to rely on online streams and a crappy TV coverage.

Anyone interested in the soccer world cup by the way?
I will be cheering for my all-time favorite Italy. My love for the Azzurri has been going all the way back to my childhood. My dad always made me support them during the international championships. After a while they have grown so much on me that I support them even more than my dad now. Although last night he was the one who stayed up until way past midnight to watch the match against England. I decided to call it a day early because I wanted to go to the gym first thing in the morning.

Tomorrow it's Bosnia vs. Argentina. My new love vs. my old on-and-off love. Hahaha. I was torn for a while, now I know that I will show up at work with my Bosnia T-shirt tomorrow.  So it is obviously who I will be supporting. Hahahah. The match starts at midnight CET but this time I surely won't go to bed early no matter how tired I will be at work the next morning. 

Lake Baikal would be one of my stops on my Trans-Sib trip.



I have seen it before from the plane. It looked stunningly blue.
