Well,these are some of the pictures I managed to grab from my eldest sister and youngest brother whilst we were chatting thru YM a few days after the happy moment.

New York, London, and Paris are internationally renowned cities but consultants at Mercer Consulting have picked Zurich, Switzerland, as the best place to live in the company's annual survey. Consultants rated each city on a variety of factors including the level of traffic congestion, air quality, and personal safety reported by expatriates living in more than 600 cities worldwide. In the top 25, U.S. cities such as San Francisco, Boston, and Chicago were all edged out by Geneva, Switzerland, Vancouver, B.C., and Auckland, New Zealand. The highest-scoring U.S. city is Honolulu, which came in at No. 28. Still, Mercer acknowledges that cities with a high quality of life are not necessarily the most exciting. "There are a lot of 'sleepy' towns that got high ratings," said Rebecca Powers, a principal consultant in human capital for the company. "But if you were to judge them on something like nightlife, there are some that probably wouldn't have rated as high." No. 1: Zurich Switzerland Mercer score: 108* 2007 rank: No. 1 GDP: $300.9 billion (2007 est.)** Population: 7,581,520 (total country); 347,517 (total city) Life expectancy: 80.74 years * The rankings are based on a point scoring index, with Zurich scoring 108 and Baghdad scoring 13.5. Cities are compared to New York as the base city, with an index score of 100. The quality-of-living survey covers 215 cities and is conducted to help governments and major companies place employees on international assignments. The survey also identifies those cities with the highest personal safety ranking based on internal stability, crime, effectiveness of law enforcement, and relationships with other countries. Note: Zurich does live up to my expectation,it indeed is a wonderful,appropriate to its been voted as the most liveable place in 2008.Despite the hustle bustle city,it still has that warm and welcoming features to foreigners like us people,the shopping streets are so exclusive,all you need to have is full wallet with CHF or euros,and your wish all come true...hahaha LOL http://rafidahaimah.fotopages.com/?entry=1579943 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT PART 1 The Itineraries: Sat,7th 7.20:off to Bahnhof 8.17:heading off to Paris in TGV 1.04:arrival at Gare De Lyon 1.20:hopping on the bus to Gare Montparnasse 1.50:check-in at the lobby of Le Meridien 2.00:freshen-up and had our lunch of nasi putih,telur tumis and ayam goreng(brought from home of course) 2.30:hop out to Metro to have our first look at Paris,first venue is Eiffel Tower 5.30:get back to the hotel to rest and solat jamak taakhir 7.00:My Nizam met up with Yein(a friend's friend for a little more info on Metro and how to get to KFC) 8.30:He came back with Yein(who brought his special someone along,Nisa)and we have a dinner of KFC in the hotel room together 9.30:Out to Notre Dame PART II Sun,8th [b]The Itineraries[/b] 8.30:Breakfast(bread&choc spread) and getting ready to leave 9.10:Early check out & leave all the belongings in porter service 9.40:Hopped on orange line tour bus 10.00:Changed to Green Line-Grand Tour 1.30:Went back to hotel to get the stuff 2.30:Took bus No.91 to Gare De Lyon 3.00:Arrived at Gare De Lyon,waiting at the platform and had our simple lunch of tuna baguette 4.00:Yein came over to bid farewell 4.45:Boarding 4.58:Departure to Bern 9.55:Arriving at Bahnhof 10.20:Safe&sound at home again-preparing late dinner-we were famished....

Ayah aku suka memberi amaran padaku dengan menjeling garang jika aku membuat sesuatu yang tidak disukainya. Contohnya, jika ke kedai,kalau aku mengambil gula-gula, dia akan menjeling padaku bermakna aku disuruh letakkan semula gula-gula itu ke tempatnya semula. Suatu hari,aku mengikut ayah ke surau untuk solat maghrib.Ketika sedang rukuk, aku melihat kain pelikat tok imam tersepit di celah punggungnya. Aku yang 'konon'nya ingin membantu,terus menarik kain yang tersepit itu. Ayahku yang sedang solat terus memberi jelingannya padaku. Aku pun faham maksudnya itu,lalu terus memasukkan semula kain pelikat tok imam itu semula ke celah punggung tok imam tadi. Apalagi,melatah lah tok imam tadi. Habis satu jemaah batal solat mereka kerana turut terkejut dengan latahan tok imam tadi. Ayahku yang bermuka merah padam menahan malu dan marah mengheret aku balik ke rumah. Malam tu, berbirat punggung aku dirotannya. Moral : Jangan memandai nak masukkan kain ke celah punggung tok imam. Shima~Itu la yg terkezut beruk ni,kat swiss pun smpi jugak la benda2 nih!Budu tu takde la tingin sgt sbb tak mkn,tp durian tuh mmg nak sgt tp ya ampun,ada yg dia dah kuarkan isi pek siap2 tu dlm 5 ulas je chf14=rm45...sekian terima kasih la... :P Mommy Sofie~Apa masalah plak nih?hihihi...
