Merry Xmas

Yes, I am back, came back on the 23rd actually but have been severely jet-lagged to do anything except to eat and sleep. =) I am looking forward to the new year already.

Bye to Prague, Hello to Berlin

Tml morning we will be leaving Prague to take the train that will bring us to Berlin!! I've already marked out the places that I want to visit and also the eateries that we can try.

The sights are concentrated in mostly one area and I dun really want to go to the museums but some of the places are worth a visit. I guess. And I want to go to AT LEAST 1 Beergarden... If I can find vacuum-packed sausages I think I will buy back to Singapore too. I am also starting to realise that I have not bought any souvenirs... The things that I keep thinking of buying are the foodstuffs. Not one souvenir for myself even. Then again, why would I want magnets and picture postcardsof the places that I have visited?? Hmm...

Halfway through my trip in Europe and my dark eye rings are gone even though I have been sleeping less. Amazing eh?? Hehe!!

Things I have bought so far:
- 2 tops from Zara (Barcelona)
- 1 top and 1 belt from Bershka (Barcelona)
- 1 faux leather cap from Terrazona (Prague)
- 1 red ear-muffs from street-side stall (Prague)
- 1 face moisturiser from Sephora (Prague)
- 2 lace display cloths from Old Town Hall Market (Prague)

Other things I intend to buy to bring home:
- Sausages from Berlin
- Cookies from Harrods
- Thai Sweet Chili chips from London
- Haribo sweets

I have taken many pictures so far, even of the foods that I have eaten. It is indeed a great Great GREAT miracle that I am still able to fit into my jeans. After Berlin, I won't be doing anymore laundry.. Hehe!! Poor mama will then have to deal with all the dirty clothes when I get back.

Till the next time I have free time to blog on free internet. =)

P.S: Adam almost got pick-pocketed in Barcelona. That's why I dun like Barcelona. I keep having to look over my back when I walk on the streets even before that incident. Prague is so much better. The people here are really less sleazy and "oily". I love Prague.

Message to self from Barcelona

I am blogging from the common room at the HelloBCN hostel in Barcelona!! We covered a lot of ground yesterday and today. We have visited Port Vell adn walked up La Rambla to see the Plaza de Catalunya. Saw Picasso Museum (from the outside), Sagrada Famillia, Le Pedrera and also the Santa Maria cathedral.

As usual, ate a lot of food today also. =) I am glad, coz I dun mind spending on food when overseas. We also revisted the Giant Zara and H&M tt we walked past yesterday.

But I think my stamina is not there. My lower back aches so much from all the walking and the standing around!! To tell you the truth, Barcelona is not as fantastic as I thought it to be. Maybe coz all the things that are must-see are not consolidated so I haven't seen everything yet. Tml we are going to Parc Guiell (is the spelling right? I dun noe...) and I know we will see more of Gaudi´s work tml. Looking forward to it. =)

Europe bound

All tt is left is for me to sleep... When I wake up tml morning, I will be on my way to the airport to board the plane tt will bring me to a totally different time zone. I will only need to chuck my make-up bag and my 2 coats into the luggage tml morning. OMG, I am so f-ing excited!!!

Alright, before I get too excited, I shall go rest now. Good bye everyone for now. Will update again when I come back!!

Countdown to Europe

It's only 2 days away. I can't believe we are finally leaving for Europe!! I will have to do some last min packing tml but who cares?! I am so excited...

I still have to finish Adam's bday present part 2 though. Will post a pic of the present when I am done. Whoosh!!

Eye Bags

I need more sleep... I know it sounds weird that I am lamenting about such a thing when it is supposed to be my holiday period but really... I dunno why I dun have enough sleep.

Weirdo.

*Planner

For the last semester of school. I realise I have already run out of subjects to take as electives. Do you know how bloody hard I had to squint and look around before I found anything decent that sits well with my other commitments in terms of time?

I had to factor in tuition as well as free lifts (arranged it so that Adam can pick me up after work so I get to sit comfortably in his car and listen to The Married Men on 91.3FM after school/tuition). Then of course there was the matter of not waking up too early. So many things to consider.

If all goes well, I should have a 2-day week which includes tuition with Tracy in Boon Lay. That would be really good don't you think so? Of course, nothing can beat Crystal's record 1-subject semester. Seriously girl, do we even consider that as an education?? =P

So the fastest-finger first competition will all be on Monday (time TBA) and when will the results of our subject registration be released? And what about our exam results?

Should happen ard the time of Eurotrip but I couldn't care less. I will be enjoying myself on the other side of the planet and I will be having a spanking good time!!

I can't wait

I know that I still have to study for my Spanish paper and I still have Venus' exams tml but really, I can't wait leh!!! I am also counting down to Europe... It's just both something to look forward and something to NOT look forward to. Coz, we will be travelling with other ppl, it doesn't quite fit my notions of a romantic European getaway. Back to Spanish for a while. Head dizzy from lack of sleep.

Jason Mraz - Lucky

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky
oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oooohhhh oohhhh ohh ooohh ooohh oooh oooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music, feel the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Time flies

Exactly one week from now, my exams will be over... How fast is tt??

Thanks to my dilligence, I know my statistics better already but I find that I am still slow in actually DOING the calculations. I just have to familiarise myself even more so that I can work faster. Other than tt, it is not too big a deal, I realised.

I hope I pull through statistics safely. I really hope I get a decent grade for it. Cross my fingers. =)
