Land of bread and beer

woots. I am staying in today so taking the chance to provide some updates before i hit the book.

Germany is cool. I love the fairy-talish houses that make me feel like i am a character in Enid Blyton's book. I love the cobalt streets and attic roofs. I love the authentic looking churches with stained glass window, innumerous sculptures, clock tower and priest-looking priest (yeh, not those held in some conventional hall back home in S'pore (excl the priest, they still look authentic actually)).

Love the way the Germans treat beer like water/tea/coffee and the way their dig carbo-ridden pretzels/pasta/pizza.

By the way, i am staying in this really small and obscured town which would be easily forgotten if not for the SAP main. I find it hard to describe, but this place gives me an entirely different feeling from the other towns i went to- so cozy and ... gosh i will let the pictures tell the story once i get hold of them. so yeh wait for the next entry please!

Touched down on Friday Night and went out to the Rheinfall, Lake Contanz and Freiburg (oh and i am to marry a freiburger!) over the weekend.

(I don't have access to lotsa photos, so just some bit to make do for the moment)

Schaffhausen City, Northen Switzerland. One thing i like about Germany is
the absence of the bobbing head phenomenon!

The Rheinfall- the largest plain waterfall in Europe

Its quite nice but not as spectacular as i thought it to be.

yeh, another view.

We took the walking track back to Schaffhausen along the the river.
Look at those houses. Gosh, aint it like an idyllic place to stay?

Took a train (theres no crowd on trains as well, how cool??) to Lake constanz afterwards and found our hostel which is an ulu pandan light house-converted tower.

TAH DAH! I almost puked mozarella cheese when this tower came into view.
And guess what, theres no lift, and i got a room on the 8th floor.

The interior of the dorm which i shared with some Americans.

And my dinner-food that i couldnt help but to buy when i got into their supermarket for the first time. I was so freaking excited that i was acting like a dot.
But how could I not??? The mozzerella cheese costs 50 cents euros?!?!?!?!?! And thats equivalent to the fee one needs to pay to get into a macs toilet.. gosh.
I paid 8 sing for that pack just a few days ago.
Yoghurt at 25 cents Euros. coolest shites.

nway, the stupid hostel locked people out at 10PM broad daylight! We had a small misadventure that night when we missed our stop and alighted at the next one which was hell far away. Fortunately and unfortunately, some really frenly German saw that we missed our stop and pointed out a short-cut path to the tower. Alas, we got freaking lost in the woods (with super super authentic houses it was a shame i couldnt stop and admire) and very nearly missed the curfew. Had a good workout trashing about in the woods though. =X

Next day was Freiburg, a town just next to the famous blackforest.

These canals, which is used as irrigation channels in medieval time, can be found all over the old town.

The water is numbly cold and i couldnt helped but to play abit with it. I even stepped into it although rumours said that those who stepped into the canals would have to stay in freiburg and marry a Freiburger. gosh so funny.

The Munster. Real nice church, cant wait to see the one in Koln. =D

and the interior. Got to climb up to see the mechanics of the bells as well.

and lastly, blackforest cake! Almost missed it-its heavenlicious.

thats all for the moment, will post more pics to beef up this post.
And the next will be on my solo day trip to heiderburg.

Liyi @ T3

I am so not fated to take Singapore Air.
The first time i took, i had chronic stomach ache.

And my stomach is churning like a mad mill now. o u c h.

nway, just checked out the YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Concealer here. Its selling at 58 bucks out there, and only at 85 for 2 at duty free =DDD

nyone wanna share with me please let me know!

uber random.

Gosh, i have to get today and the first part of tomorrow done with before i could enjoy a good slumber.

A part of my dreams last night revolved about having numb fingers/no internet connection/my com hangs when 1:30 comes and i am supposed to do subject registration.

The other part revolved about not being able to arrive at the airport on time tomr/forgetting to bring my (expired) passport/broken and spilling luggage.........

Blah i am being so paranoid i couldnt sleep the whole fucking night and the dreams just kept buzzing over and over endlessly in my head that i wished for daylight every other minute.

AND i am supposed to start packing my luggage now but i can't! My whole mind is preoccupied with subject registration. And its only like 10:20 now. bah.


nway received cute ugly uber-belated birthday prezzies. haha

oh my god. A dung.

teehee, gingy chain.

Its weird to realise that i had spent two Sundays with the Los at the absence of my dearest.

Hopped onto the Singapore's flyer this morning with the Los and my mom.
Was a tad scared - like oh man, meet the parents session?!- but my worries were superfluous as it turned out that they were quite chummy. oh wells

Past week was spent idling in the office, the gym and meeting up with friends. Dorothy returned from Japan and Hong Kong with good buys for me! Thanks sweet~

Yeyie! Kose white mask that i have always wanted, sekkisui (whitening??) mask
and pineapple tarts from HK. yey! love goodies.

Had lunch at Ajisen Ramen. I am secretly in love with the vege ramen
though 3/4 of the ramen would usually be left untouched. Love the crunchy corn and chewy enoki!

doro.

mee. puipui already. kns

Finally on Singapore's flyer this morning. Nothing spectacular, could see alot of towering cranes though since Marina Bay Sands is in the midst of constructions. Other than fireworks during NDP, F1 races and the likes that the flyer could lean on, it itself does not exudes much charm, at least in my view.

that orange patch is my ideal home. teehee

we are ascending!

=)

mmum

really sweet alex with really cute attire. ( teehee, her bday pressie from me)

The grandma with the babies. Angus had an itchy nose this morning.

yeh just to prove my point.

From some observations, i found that lil Angus finds joy when he gets to roam about on his tiny feet.

Totally engrossed.
"Dad, see theres tiny people and houses down there!"

hmm.

The carnival under the flyer got my mom hooked on.

the prize she got for the game in the background.

Yet another game of darts.

The adults queuing up for games. And seriously, they were discussing some strategies.
haha amusing.

And in the end, she got herself 6 prizes, in which she kept three and gave the rest to the kids.

By the way, one last week of internship!!!
Gosh Gosh Gosh Gosh GOsh!

niceys

Cobalt streets, cobalt houses, Freshly baked pastries,

pipping hot soup, amiable smiling old ladies...... =)

Teehee, with the jump of just an entry, June is here!
Count down 9 days to the emancipation of desk-bound-skin drying-fats accumulating-b*tch-filled- office life. cool shites.
Its a pleasure seeing how heavily my calender is crossed out towards the box highlighted in pink, with the words - end of internship.

Haven't been able to comfortably sit down and surf/blog for very very long. With the goddess at home, i am ripped of lights and space after 10pm. So i coud only plonk myself to sleep. Thats hows my life have been for the past 1 month.

wells, lets have some updates.

Had a company event at fourseasons last Friday. Finally one with photos taken after like almost a dozen previous team lunches. Thats one of the perks i get working at webieshandwiee- to pose as taitais in atas restaurants and hotels, eating with half a table of genuine atas kids and another half just like a poser like me (aka rongshan).

while waiting for the latebirds, sya and I had some "private time" in the toilet.



(all these would be otherwise impossible out there. Interns are supposed to be prim and proper. yeh.)

the corporate team with many missing.

The really really nice Hooi Hoon.

rs, sam and hannah

The prim and proper syasya and i

Sunday was Alexes' and Angus's 1 year old birthday party.
Lets see how they have blossomed, from tiny half asleep creatures, into the two running kiddos today.

Very tiny Angus

Very Tiny alex

Half year old. my gosh super cute.

And princess Alex.

Food for 12? I dont think so. this could easily feed a herd of hungry cows.

And the cake.




chaotic moments.

Angus " hurry, i just want to eat ok"

yummmy

creamy angus
