mid-autumn festival@glasgOw

if being away from home is not sad enough,the freakin expensive 5GBP/piece of mooncake and the lack of festive-feel+lanterns were sad enough to make me homesick...
haha...anywayz,risking our lives(bloody angmohs are back!),we decided to have a wee celebration with whatever we could get...at least to celebrate the mid-autumn festival with a really "autumn" feel lar...er..get it?get it?

the moon that night was bright(minus the dark clouds which covered it once in awhile),but not the biggest i've seen lar in glasgow...
after lighting da candles(the strong wind was so not helping) and arranged it around the bbq area,we decided take photos with it....nothing better to do already ba,da guyz just couldn wait to get their arse back to the hostels coz it was cold and to get themselves drunk. XD



p/s:just in case u're wondering,thatz me...
"tien,next time tell me 1st lar when wanna take photo..c cannot c my face wan.-_____-"

and after the phototaking session...we didnt know what else to do....so we did what ppl would normally do with candles during any festive celebrations....XD

P 1 0 5

had a week drinkin session(again) after finished playing with candles...cannot blame our frequent drinking session lar since alcohol are cheaper than water...XD n i seriously think few cans of Carlings+4bottles of Sminoff+2bottles of Coke wont be enough to make 17of us drunk lor...rite?rite?*smirk*
oh btw btw...just in case u're wondering,we did have a taste of mooncake...1 piece of mooncake shared among 17 of us XD
Thankz Datuk Adam,u're da man!whee~

so all in all...my 1st and one and only glasgow mid-autumn festival consist of
Candles.angmohs who came over "to party".Carlings.Sminoff.Coke.MoOncAke.chOcolateS.17 goOd ole buddies *muahz*

hApPiE miD-aUtuMn feStiVaL,pPL =)

p/s:photos taken from mintien coz mum said my photo skills suck big time T.T

A trip to Deutschland

we spent a day in Germany,Frankfurt before our flight to Czech..guess it was all the luggage hassles that made our day in Frankfurt somehow...a lil' sucky.


- Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof = Frankfurt main train station-

Anyway,we had our lunch at the German market...got my 1st taste of FAT pork..argh~*shudders* half of my 3euros worth of meat went down the bin XD then we lepak around the city,which MAGGI was spotted!fresh flowers were sold at a relatively cheap price...1 stalk of sunflower 1euro only wey...so gonna drag my future bf here next time!*evil laughter*

-flowers..the sunflowers there are HUGE!-

lotsa historical monuments,but we never study German history oso...dunno how 2read the info there oso coz it's written all in german...don't care lah,just grab our cameras and camwhore only XD
and...we got oh so excited because of this...


-MAGGI!!kebanggaan malaysia-

-A catholic(i think) church we entered...coz we saw lotsa tourists entering,plus the entrance is free XP


then after 3nites spent in Czech,we went back to Germany(2 thumbs up to EasyJet!),spending half a day in Dortmund.paid a few euros(can't remember how much) to enter a seemingly abandoned park -___-" oh btw,flamingoes are really pink..PINK!gosh,i thought pink flamingoes only appear in story books... visited the stadium which housed BSV Dortmund as well(don't ask me,no idea).

-PINKY flamingoes yo-

took an endless train journey to Fuessen later...for the highlight of this Germany trip..

Neuschwanstein+Hohenschwangau castle.
Neuschwanstein castle's one of the new World 7Wonders finalist.

- Hohenschwangau Castle-
-breathtaking sceneries...try spotting Hohenschwangau castle =) -

- Neuschwanstein castle. risked the possibility of falling of from a cliff for this shot-

and of course,since we took the trouble and risk our precious lives to climb up the cliff,we decided to make the journey...worthwhile.

-by camwhoring!-
-and camwhoring again!-
Schuwangau's Next Top lansi model

-The Swan Lake-
my opinion?

the sceneries around the castle worth the merit more than the castle itself.frankly,the castle didn't really impress me,but the sceneries did.very much.

then it was a looOOOONG train trip before we finally reached Berlin.after settling down in our hostel(try counting how many dayz i didn't bathe XP),we visited the Reichstag,the German parliament,which seriously put us Msians to shame.our parliament building sad case can..

-on top of the Reichstag building.-
-down there sits the hall where parliament meetings are held.these glasses are supposed to reflect the sunlights to provide both light+heat.fuh..talkin about canggih-ness+saving fuel!-

went to the Brandenburg Gate and the monument in memories of the Jews killed during the Nazi regime as well.we nearly gave the 'jaga' a heart attack thereXD

-we climbed,we jumped,we stood higher n higher...
"oi,no no...come down!*flags hand franctically*trails of with German not understood"

XD

-Brandenburg Gate-
-Berlin Cathedral-
- Autumn In my Heart live in Berlin XD
-
our day ended with a wee drinkin session at the club near our hostel.

2nd day was my long awaited visit to the Berlin wall after looking at it through my encyclopedia since i was a kid.peiling said Berlin wall could be named as the most disappointing tourist spot(together with the copenhagen mermaid+s'pore merlion) but i think otherwised.i am in fact impressed by the graffiti.very much.

-pieces of the Berlin wall-
-pieces of the Berlin wall-


-can anyone tell me who are the 2man snogging?and why on earth are they snogging?!-
Make Love.Not War?

impressed by Berlin wall instead of Neuschwanstein castle.boy am i weird or what...?!

- Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedaechtniskirche-
damaged during the bomb raids in Berlin

"taxi in Germany are all Mercedes-Benz..."
man that is like soooOOO old school...taxi in Germany nowadays.......



-Taxi,anyone?-

our last night in Germany was spent at the Sony Centre.yup,Sony Centre.haha...with the combination of other buildings around,namely the DB building(DB=die bahnhof=the train=germany public transport) the view was....WHOA~!!cosmopolitan..metropolitan...whatever XD

- DB building-
-inside Sony Centre,with DB building-

dinner was the long spoken Germany famous pork knuckles.grilled or cooked(traditional).

damn the idea of digging into the pork knuckles,especially those cooked ones still give me cold shivers.

-Grilled-
-or Cooked-

Monday, September 17, 2007

had a wee talk with qris while preparing dinner yesterday..it was about "neglecting fellow friends around when a person's attached".

browsed through friendster photos of my A-level mates today,which made me recall my A-level memories...and realised suddenly how much i've missed them.and UCSI.

combined both together reminds me of my later A-level moments when i was "attached".

i was once the "bad friend" qris+i talked about...sacrificing time with friends to be with the so-called "dear",even when the gathering might be the last one we gonna have as coursemates.

i was once the "bad daughter" qris+i talked about too...argue and rude towards mum+dad because what they said about the so-called "dear" is "wrong",even when mum+dad loved me so so much.

somehow behind those tough times,i discovered stuff which i might never realise its existence.i thought i've lost something,but i gained something even more precious.priceless stuff =)

to those who keep askin me the same old question...

"yes,i'm happy with my current status.tho lonely sometimes,i'm happily discovering the LovesSSS showered on me everyday...mum+dad,friends,and most importantly..my heavenly Father =)"

A trip to Czech Republic

despite the tiredness after spending 2 freakin nites in Frankfurt-Hahn airport>Dortmund airport>chased out fromt airport to the streets>mcD...we finally reached Prague International Airport.

10 hearts were already screaming Jolin Tsai's song "Prague Square"!


after settling down in our hostel,we went around searching for traditional czech food...
-qris+me shared this and we couldn finish it XD and this is supposed to be a 1person meal (-___-"') price: 300czk.
-the other 4gals shared this.price:1200czk

1GBP = 39.70 czk...u do the math.
didn't expect food is so cheap in czech...and most importantly for the guys...CHEAP+BIG+MEAT!da guys came out satisfied...and happie.while the herbivorous wern and me smell trouble XD
- the galz-
-the guyz-

when heesheong our czech tour guide announced tht we've already reached the legendary prague square,i was like..."heck?!" o.O frankly i was a wee bit disappointed lor...ANYWAYS,yea..i went prague square,saw the astronomical clock,saw the Church of Our Lady before Tyn(someone said it looks like some fairytale castle where the bad fella live in)......

walked across the famous Charles bridge,da scenery there was nice...managed 2cure my disappointment abit lar XD then we visited the Prague castle...nice stuff,relatively cheap entrance fee compared to the Edinburgh castle's 11GBP but still feel abit conned.talkin about kiamsiap-ness...

-at charles bridge-


-the Prague Castle front view-
-interior stained glass design of the castle's chapel-

was supposed to leave Prague for Český Krumlov but somehow due to various reasons we didnt make it,so decided to stay back. and oh ya,we went up the pseudo-Eifel tower as well.

it was worth the cold n the risk of being attack by some angmoh drunk ass.

last day in Czech was spent in Kutná Hora,a place i've been bugging heesheong that "we die die also must visit".visited the Ossuary,where its interior consists of REAL human bones..yup,tonnes of human bones.
