Back And Alive

Hello everybody! I'm back! But first,

Me ice-skating in the cold. Hahaha.
Yes, so I departed from my Brother... Was emo-ing in the train. So scary can! Unsure of where to go and all that.Emo-ing. I was REALLY scared! Oh, and I got lost in Munich as I had to change train there too. Was supposed to find a place for lunch, had a hard time finding my way back to the train station. But thankfully I managed to find my way back and boarded the train to Salzburg!5 hour train ride. Snow!!!Yeshh! I arrived there eventually and had to find the house ALL BY MYSELF. There wasnt any problem though. Was captured by the beautiful Utersburg. Ahhh!Placed my backpack and settled for awhile before going around to orientate myself. Was sitting on the benches by the park nearby.Had an early night(1900hours) and woke up for my "Sound Of Music" Tour!!! Waiting for the bus to come.The tour was alright only lah, not as fantastic as I expected. 30euros leh! By the lake where Maria and there children were boating.I am 16 going on 17! Oops wrong.I'll depend on you! :D (those who watch the movie will understand only)Somewhere up in Mondsee.Sew, a needle pull and thread.After the whole tour, went round wondering myself. Watched some people playing a game of chess. It's been a long time since I've played chess!Then paid 7euros to get into a castle(forgot the name) high up on a hill. I really wonder how they built it.I was just in time for see the beautiful sunset. Ahhh! Beautiful! Everytime I smilied, my lips cracked :\The sun setted and it was dark, which means time to go home. Walking along the Rhien(river) home...Eno-ing again.This was my dinner. Burger King. LOL! I couldent find any Austrian food.Lovely breakfast the host served! :)Had to pack up and leave liao... That's me with my backpack.(even though it cant be seen here. Haha)Byebye Salzburg!Managed to meet my cousin as planned at Hendilburg(sp) and we went back to Ludwigshafen! Well, for those of you who were pitying me for missing out so much on reunion dinner, I had fun here too! :D 3 of us(cousins) had swiss steamboat(cheese fondue). Had my fair bit of laughter too. What a lovely reunion dinner! :DPreparing the stuff.We also opened up our ang baos I brought from Singapore! Not fair! My Brother got 20euros and I only got 10 :( BIAS! Then, my Brother told cousin Teddy how he was slapped by my dad in order to average out the money of ang baos in the past. (I didnt even recall that!) But anyway, HECK! I can always earn my own money (^_^)V

Yup, that's it! Happy Chinese New Year!!!!!!

Strangely I dreamt of a person. I am fulfilling 2 of the person's dream. (you should know who you are) I miss you sooooooooooooo much :( Message me ok? I'm sure it'll make my day!!! :((((

Ahoy!

Hello, I'm super tired so I shall not update photos. Hehehe. But I'll share with you what I did for the day...

In the morning, went to a Catholic Church. Everything was in German so I was lost throughout. Gahhh.

Then we saw a carnival at Lugwigshafen! People with costume walking along the streets, throwing sweets and many other freebies! Singapore's Chingay cannot be compared to this. Oops. Haha.

In the evening we went ice-skating!!!!!!! So cool when you skate and breathe out smoke(due to the cold tempreture). I didnt skatefor a long time so I fell a couple of times. Hehe.

Going to Salzburg tomorrow!!!!!!!! My first solo trip. Please pray for me that I won't get lost or anything.

Yawn, I'm so tired and still suffering from jet lag! Ciao!

My Day In Germany!

Okok, it all started out when my lovely cg people were seeing my off in Singapore Changi Airport! Thanks so much guys! :DD Sorry for the quite lousy quality photos, due to the dim lighting at the airport.Miss Yee came in after our dinner! :D
So I boarded my 13 hour plane flight which was crazy! Only managed to catch 4 hours of sleep. The aeroplane was so noisy thus it was so difficult to sleep. The is ShouHeng who was my flight buddy! :D It is always good to have a company!Our meals on board. This was the dinner.And this was our breakfast.So we landed saftely at Frankfurt Airport and I finally saw my Brother after 1.5 years! Well, he is doing well and still, FAT. We hopped onto the train. Then, he took out an apple which I got from the plane and ate it on the train.For a moment, I was surprised that he would "dare" to do that. Apprently, you are allowed to consume food and drinks on the train... AMAZING!There was also a dustbin! I asked him why was it there... He said, "If this wasnt here, all the rubbish would end up on the floor."Before the sunrise.Arrived and Mannhiem station! Whoopee! Sorry, I seriously look like a tourist. But later after settling down and all that, I looked much more like a local there. That's what my Brother said... LOL.Eating Macdonalds cheeseburger while waiting for the tram... How did it taste like? The ambience. Hahaha.Looking like some stupid sua ku, like never eat burger before like that.Me getting excited and my Brother getting sian.Beautiful trees.My Brother in front of his house! Or should I say pig sty?We had Vietman lunch...Went to the supermarket and bought a couple of stuff.I saw a dog on the tram. Cool right! Haha. They allow dog leh! But the onwer has to pay a child's fee for the dog.Met a group of students from NUS my Brother was supposed to help them around... So interesting, having 7 Singaporeans together. It feels much safer and comfortable :DNow's a carnival period in Germany.In the evening, we took a bus to Ikea!This was my dinner!! Yummy! Well, it costed me s$16. Tsk!

So went for some shopping at Ikea, similar to Simapore, nothing special in terms of their goods. But they are super green! Definitely beat Singapore hands down! They NEVER give a single plastic bag to you. Not even in the normal supermarket! Amazing! And also, they have a machine for people to deposit their used plastic bottles and they would be refunded 0.25 euros(50cents)!!

So one the way home, it was sooooo cold! My Bro said that it was the zero degree mark. But it was terribly cold!!!!!!!!!! I was going to die, shivering like never before. And I'm very tired now. The jet lag is killing me so byebye!!!!!!! :D

As you can see here, the wind is blowing at my hair and my hands are in my pocket. Very coldddddd!!! Brrrr. People in Singapore complain hot wanna sit bus because got air-com. Here people say very cold wanna sit in bus because it is warm!!

All set and read to go!

Like finally, I'm done with all the packing. Didnt had a good morning though. Let me explain. Mommy wanted me to use luggage A instrad of luggage B, so we changed.... Then, she realised that lugguage B had so much space left over and asked my why in that blamish tone. I told her I already exceed the 20kg mark. And thus I needed to eliminate some stuff and bring them over to my crumpler backpack which I will put in the cabin with me. Then she blamed me leh!!!!!!

I know I should not say this but there were few instances I felt like strangling her, pushing her down the building or pouring hot water at her. But those were thoughts only lah... Pfffft. I mean, quarreling in a family is so common. Don't tell me you have not quarrelled with your parents or siblings before.

But don't worry, no one died. She now still alive cooking lunch and later going to drive me to the airport. Things will be normal when we depart. LOL. You know lah, away for 5 weeks, must have the 5 weeks worth of quarrel.

Ok, let's not talk about that anymore. I am leaving today! Woot! I was so glad I had a good sleep and not tossing around on bed due to the excitement. Hmmm, but I feel that I'm not mentally prepared for Europe. It all feels like a dream now.

My next post will be in Germany liao so byebye!

Oh, and thanks for those who SMSed me :D

Personal apology to Melina here. Sorry girl! :(
