Top of Park Guell

Gaudi's mosiac work...

That Gaudi's lizard

Plaza Espanya

Montjuris Olympic Stadium

Spent the day around the entire Barcelona on the metro. ahhaha... Visited the very famed La Sagrada Familiar monument. Didn´t go in lah. It is the last of Gaudi´s architecture. Deemed to be in renovation till 2020. hhaha... I will be back in Barcelona to see the completed structure! hahahaa.... But it was nothing less than grand. Zero regrets there...

Visited the Park Guell thereafter. It was a long long walk up the hilly street. *Faint*Nothing really impressive. Just a view of the Barcelona on the hill top. We entered through the back of the hill and exit through the front gate. Didn't go in Gaudi's house anyway. Heard there's nothing and the paranoid thought of the being around gaudi's colourful lizards was disgusting... Saw the really famous Gaudi's Mosiac Lizard, not sure the actual name for it lah.. but it's ugly. I hate lizards...

We were caught out in the Easter Holiday drought. We were at Plaza Espanya and ALL shops were closed except for a few eateries. *faint* Initially, we wanted to catch the musical fountain one. But to our horror, the freaking thing only had limited show slots in winter. zzzz... knn....

Hanged around and went to the Olympic Stadium....

Wanted to drag the other two to shop in La Rambla. But the shops are closed leh.. sianz....

WOOT!!!

24 straight hours of travelling and I finally arrived at Barcelona, Spain. The air ride was incredibly long. SG- Dubai was alright. The Dubai airport was really too small to handle the amount of people in the airport. It was only 5am and the 3 of us almost couldn´t find any seats at all. Everyone was occupying the seats, the floor area. *faintz* Dubai- France was an incredibly long. It is incredibly long journey. Touched down at CDG airport and the luggage took a really long time to clear. It was just shit... we almost missed our connecting flight to Barcelona if not for a 2hr delay. Can you imagine all the haste and sudden-need-to-wait between us.... aiyoh...

Reached Barcelona really late. Took us 2 hrs to navigate all the way to our Hostel. Paraiso Travellers´ Hostal. It´s quite decent. Clean, hot water shower and a really helpful staff. 0)

Day 1
We went around the vicinity of El Raval, La Rambla, Barcelona Port, El Born, Gothic Quaters, Plaza Catalunya. hahaha... It was a very very very long walk. El Raval was indeed very shady. We were recommended to take small lanes through El Raval to get to La Rambla. It was a tat too scary for 3 girls. I didn´t feel it was safe at all.

Breakfast was at ¨Capuccino¨, La Rambla. Fantastic Foccusia (think it is spelt like that lah).....some sandwich pita with ham and cheese. It was really expensive leh... 16 euros for breakfast aka 32 sing dollars....should be less gullible next time. hahahaha.... We went on to the market after that. There were such a delightable supply of colours. Seafood, fruits, olives, veggies all nicely placed, cleaned for the consumers to buy. hahhaa... if I ever have a market in SG, it will be something like this... hahaha...we nearly want kick ourselves for eating breakfast so early loh... sianz.....the market had a wider selection at a CHEAPER price can....

Walk downed La Rambla which was filled with plenty of performance artist and still art artist. Saw the Barcelona Port. It was really a dream come true. I could really pinched myself for it. I have been wanting to visit Spain since 6 years ago. This port which I have seen in so many pictures was a dream siah.. *pinch myself*

Anyway, we wanted to visit this other market but was discovered to be in renovation.Try to navigate our way to Musee Picaso. Got lost for at least 1 hour.... I totally disoriented in midst of the Gothic Building. Along the way saw Cathedral Barcelona and Santa Maria Church. Very neat...

Musee Picaso was freaking cool. I have only seen Picasso´s works on computer before only. This time, I saw all the real stuff. His work was unbelievably real. Not when he was younger lah...But as he got older, the figures he painted was really good. The details he went into was... *speechless* Saw a mixture of modern art, landscape pictures as well. What impressed me the most was his works on Catalayun ladies. Most of the pictures were believed to be painted when he was at the bull rings. Really really nice....

Alrighty. We were really tired after Picasso. So we WENT shopping!!!!!! hahahaha.... WHO SAID MANGO and ZARA was everywhere!! basket.....but we found them nonethless.. =p

I bought a really pair of boots from Zara.. =p

where's my Paulo, Fransisco & Jaun

wahahhaha... a lame joke cracked by S.O.B sup. He think my sistas and I were going there to get drunk everyday and looks for spanish guys....

In midst all the big rush to pack my freaking bagsssss, I saw a huge envelope on my desk waiting for me to open. It was really mysterious. It screams "On Government Service". I almost thought Mindef want me to serve the nation as well. hahaha...

I peeped and saw the MOE logo. Teacher?? Odd right... wah lau.. Then the Subject title reads "Free 1 year membership to SDU"... "-_-

I have always heard my friends telling me about how cheap the activities are in SDU but the magazine they sent me WAS overdue can.... anti-climax. Then I started reading the articles and chuckled to myself at one corner of the dining table. I would never be caught dead in situations where it is a couples' event like a dinner party or something..... I rather go "hire", "beg" and "borrow" one of my buddies to turn up in events like this....guess who was the first person who came to my mind... SZ.. hahahaha... I think yali would agree with me that he will make a good social escort wor... =PPpp I hope he's not reading this.... haahhaha...

Anyway, I think I am becoming one of their statistics soon. 24+, Single, bright future, no time to find bf. 24+ cannot be helped one. Single and no time to find bf is a lame excuse. For me, SDU activities is a taboo to go. I find it exceptionally diffcult to make friends with a hidden agenda that I am actually looking for bf. Tsk tsk... I am really being frank about it. It is an embarrassment to admit that I am such a freaking loser in situations like this.

Don't give me that odd look leh.....

I love my job much more than I need a bf now.... that's enough for me currently. It's just sad to be reminded that I am a lonely individual lah... It was a good reality check....

Still, I need to say... WAHAHAHAHA... I AM HEADING UP ALL THE WAY NORTH TO SPAIN....

Sg-Dubai-Paris-Barcelona-Seville-Madrid-Paris-Dubai-Sg. 17 days... hahaha.... this is LIFE......

The "Fools" saying goodbye....*faintz*

I still think I am cuter... =P

My bond isn't that worth it to buy...

I wouldn't spend 50k to buy myself out of a bond...

That 50k would be more worth it as a downpayment for a nice car. A pretty little car like this...

Nissan GT-R

This car would be good enough for me.. =PpPp

Lessons Learnt from Malaysia's GE
