bEautifUl sUndAy marks the end of DST!

its been a week since i return from Germany..
rather smooth week for me, manage to finish my homework assgt on time and get alil' headstart for my revision.. but for the stepper motor program.. im still procrastinating.. *shucks, i havent started...*
its an irony.. when you program in asm, u tink C, & when you do C, you tink C++ is better.. and when you think C++, u feel that asm is simpler.. haha.. irony of life..

i tink im always reckless.. nv think/comsider properly before saying yes to anything.. later to regret my actions..
a classic example... my host *or landlord* is contesting for city councillor and he needs help in distributing some advertising stuff to every household.. so when he approached me, i agreed without even asking how many houses i have to distribute these to and do i have time for it.. later then i rem that i still have tonnes of piling work to do.. haiz..
then come the best part, its not a leaflet as i naively thot, its a booklet and its 165 houses.. to put it in their mailbox... but given today's weather is not too bad.. its okie..

just came back from the supermarket with my neighbour.. today foetex is open *usu its closed on sundays* but we were early for the supermarket, its open at 11am and we were there at 10+.. so we went magasin. later she said she wanted a rest and a cup of coffee so my neighbour gave me a treat of coffee and sandwich at magasin's Cafe du Nord *magasin = a shopping mall, similar to say CK Tang but smaller in size...* cos she sort of know that i spent all my money on the germany trip.. must not splurge...

anw, today *or rather this morning's cph 3am* is the end of daylight saving time *aka DST or Summer Time* so we are back by another hour.. this makes it 7hrs behind singapore time..

and also, just realised that i have been blogging for a year..
time flies man.. gOsh.. initially i so scare my habit of blogging will be shortlived.. but seems like not tOo bad.. tahan-ed for a year...

from today onwards.. its the start of scrimp and save day.. cos im going to malmoe on the 11th.. broke once again... =C

blOgging off at 1.20pm cph time...

nowhere to go...

woke up early to pack up my stuff... checked out really early this morning and went to HBF where there are lockers for travellers to deposit their stuff at for 24hrs.. so i 暂时 put my things in the locker for 2,50euro... but i tink its okie.. i dont wana carry it around with me.. went to st michelis church.. up to the tower to view alster and elbe river.. the wind is very strong and i felt like being blown away..
*this is perhaps one of the few good things i have done in hamburg*
going up the tower was like *kaoz* gg up endless of stairs...i really wondered when im gg to reach the top... up to the top...i cld see the rivers.. its picturesque.. *not sure if this is the right way to use this way but i'll just use it anw, if its wrong pls correct me!* got a couple to take pic for me.. but the wind is so strong that i tink hands cant even be stable..

then to the townhall *rathaus* but there is not guided tours today so i didnt buy the tixs to go in.. just took afew pics.. got a 老头 to help me take the pics... cos i see that he using there 'experts' camera.. who noes, the 2 pics he took.. all so lousy.. didnt dare to ask him to take again.. cos that wld embarass him.. so i just say they were great, smiled and left...

oh, did i mention that true enough, i woke up this morning to regret the purchase of the puma shoes... cos my adidas was back to good condition again...又乱花钱了。。。

time is still early, went around the 3 shopping streets again.. returned to HBF at 1+... bought the 1euro mcChicken and sat by the window... seeing trainings coming and leaving and pple alighting and boarding..
now i regret taking the 5.23pm train *yet another regret* initially i was offered 2 timings.. one at 12plus and the other at 5plus, at 1st i took the 12+ one then changed my mind.. now really regret for my greediness for more time at hamburg cos im sitting at mac waiting for time to pass now...i finished my planned trip at abt 11.30am... *sianz*

time for reflection...
======================
*kaoz* cant believe it... i spent 800+ for this time excluding the train tixs...
a few thots..
this trip has definitely 加强了我想学好德语的信念。。 and i wld want to return to germany again, speaking deutsch to the pple here... its my dream!~
im still missing berlin..还感受到柏林墙的震撼。。
one thing i tink im quite proud of, is to be able to read the maps.. hehez..好有方向感哦。。

anw, was walking along the shopping streets 看到有人在乞讨。。有些还带着狗狗。。the doggies looked so pitiful.. but i cant help them.. so sad.. then thot of snOoPy.. i tink he is quite pitiful as well...真叫人心疼。。。*anw, didnt i mention that the dogs here in europe are allowed into the shopping centres/public transport cos even the biggest dog have to go for injection so they dont go ard biting and barking.. which makes them 傻傻的..*

可能是在柏林的时间短又四处赶所以累了吧...到了汉堡又发现事情不太顺所以也没心情玩。。。回到哥本哈根又有作业、复习要做。。*我的天啊！我快承受不住了。。。*
但在柏林这段时间将会使我这一生其中一个最美好的经历。。。一次没有遗憾的旅程。。。
可能是因为四处奔走的关系吧，觉得有点累了。。想家了。。ironically, its not my family that i misses most, its the weather, its convenience and the place in overall...
but i have no regrets applying for sEp!

blogging off at 2.11pm hamburg time

dreadfuL day...

got up in the morning and starts the journey of the day.. thot of getting a bread at Hamburg HauptBahnHof *HBF* but thot maybe the shops dont open so early so got a quite ex bread and its so-not-tasty... reaching HBF to find that all the shops are opened.. shucks! and worst, cheaper and looks tastier than the one i bought! *sianz*

went to bergedorf, and realise the bus to the concentration camp comes only once in an hour.. so i gotta wait for another half an hour...
there was a group of school students gg for to the concentration camp also...
was at the concentration camp, its not as exciting as i thot, prob cos of the weather, boring and cold.. all in all makes it so dull..

by the time i finished 'touring' the place, i decided to forego the german customs musuem... and off to monkebergstrasse to SHOP!

looking for puma shoes.. like the one i saw at stadium in CPH, but i cldnt find it.. finally saw it but it costs 100euro.. = 200+sgd, way to ex..

went back to HBF and had subway, thot its cheap, dont know why.. added up to 6+euro, if thats the case, i shld have ate the chinese food for 7,50euro... damnit!

went to gansemarkt and saw pair of shoes by graceland similar to the puma for 19,90euro, i was thinking shld i buy the puma or this... similar but i really like the puma one.. *well, i need a pair of new one cos m adidas is spoilt* so i hafta buy one here else monday i'll go to sch with the spoilt shoes...
walked ard and saw the puma shoes at 69,90euro... though its not really the color i want and that its on sale cos only left with a few pair of that size..*in europe, things are on discount at irregular times... and you just hafta 碰运气。。。or that its changing season or left with afew sizes of that design* so im considering.. shld i buy it in cph or here.. cos its abt the same price and cph prob have more choices of selection and higher tax refund... haiz, but i cant wait.. aiyah, after some hesitation i bought it.. i hope i wont have to regret it..
went to rossman *the only good thing abt hamburg, there is rossman in berlin as well*
and saw the uhu glue... i bought it and decided to have a last try with my shoes..
and also brought a few light bulbs...
went back to the hotel and shower... the shower room looks good but the showerhead is spoilt... only to find out when i used it.. *sianz*
then back to fix my shoes... and apparently its working..
btw, on my way back saw a guy approaching the lady for business.. eeks..
and also today the weather isnt too good.. was drizzling...

haiz, dont know why, everything abt being in hamburg seems so wrong..
1st the hotel, then the dungeon visit... then the bread this morning and the subway meal.. shucks.. now im beginning to regret buying the puma shoes.. cos the uhu glue fixed my adidas liao...
shldnt have stayed so long in hamburg... shld have spent more time in berlin.. or go back earlier to do my revision or electromagnetics assgt or even programming.. shucks!
on the other hand, everything abt berlin seems so right, the hotel, the walks, the places i have been toO.. oh...

thank goodness, im returning to cph tml.. safe and sound but i know its the beginning of another nightmare!~

blogging off at 8.12pm

hamburg!

hamburg seems a nice place 3 days before when i was in transit to berlin.. but now, the beauty just burst like a bubble... or perhaps i had a really good time in berlin that diminishes its beauty here... or cos its more of shoppers' paradise and that its selling winter clothes and i dont have money to shop or i cant buy these things cos its simply no use when i return to singapore or that i dont have my shopping 'khakis' with me... or that i havent discover the true beauty or its bcos of the 'hotel' that im staying at..
gosh, i actually missed berlin.. the 1 star hotel(which is much like a hostel) that is so convenient and safe... i havent finished touring the whole of berlin, perhaps i shld have stayed a lil longer...*shucks!*

lemme describe the place that im staying in now.. its by the road, so its abit noisy here... cars passing by... and its seems like a red light district... with all the sex shops and lotsa similar hotels to the one im staying in.. seems like this hotel is for that kind of purpose...
saw a few women standing on the streets by the shops that has closed.. *so you know what i mean right* i miss generator in berlin!
cos in generator, not to mention its convenience, cheap price, and safety, its has got free breakie and i see lotsa pple there..pple as in there for holies, here i dont even see a guest from the hotel.. worst no free breakie and i dont even see a guest coming down for breakie in the morning... the description on lonely planet is a white lie as well... i shld have booked the accomodation thru hotelclub.net as well.. y didnt i.. shit...

anw, lets talk abt my way to hamburg.. i met this nice lady from austria but she's now living in kiel, germany. she got married to a german which is a buddhist *devout one i guess*... call me 'sua-gu' i have never heard of european being a buddhist, lest to say a german being a buddhist... im taken aback... anw, they have a 15yr old son...we talked abt the culture.. of european and asia...
then she told me that she is a freelance graphic designer for books, she loves to read, its in her blood that runs in the family... then her husband has got some sickness from some 10yrs ago and had some difficulty moving around... so they had to move from their original place to a place which is wheel chair accessible cos they planning to get a wheel chair for her husband.. i felt so sorry abt it so we talked abt our siblings and her children.. she once again reveal that she was sorry abt her son being the only child cos she gave up after 3 miscarriages... i feel so sad for her.. i was truely sorry for bringing up these again.. its must be painful to go thru miscarriages though i haven experience it but i know it is and it will be..
she told me she likes to travel but cld only do it thru books cos of the money and that she's scared to fly..though she has flyed before... she also wld like to visit tibet... cos under the influence of her husband.. she is very interested in buddhism but she cldnt convert cos she reasons that she grew up as a protestant *i have heard of it but i dont know what it is, shall read up abt it* and she cldnt just give up the religion she grew up with and embrace another religion...
before i alight the train, i asked for her contact, cos she said she took the pics during fall of the berlin wall.. she's part of history man... i so envy of her..
i hope to contact her soon...

after getting to the hotel, unpacked my stuff and did some quick planning... set off for the hamburg dungeon.. i was told the 'tour' is in deutsch but there were 2 films with english subtitles.. so i thot okie.. just join.. then i realise even the dramatists speaks deutsch...
i expected sthg scary, exciting and can learn abt the hamburg history... being in deutsch already 剪掉一半的享受了... not meeting my expectation and the accomo thingy still bugs me.. all in all, just spoils my mood and day... kinda feel wasted 12,50euro equivalent to 25+sgd for nthg.. *shucks* just realised im out of budget.. shldnt be spending money on this man!~

wanted to visit the wax museum, reached the place and realise the wax statues arent that real so didnt want to waste more money so took a few pics and left..
anw, the operettehaus is just next beside the museum and mamamis by abba is coming.. *prob has come, im not too sure*

back to the 'hotel' *more like motel*... the only good thing is that it has a tv in the room and has CNN channel which connects me to the world news.. in ENGLISH! a language that im familiar with..

signing off at 8.18pm hamburg time

checking out of bErLin!

woke up really early today...
to shower/wash my hair cos i know im gg to share a bathroom at hamburg and i not sure of the bathroom condition.. hopefully its gOod like generator's...

went for breakie as usual and set off for alexandra platz again to take the pics that i saw on the 1st night i was there.. but got a few pics cos of the sun shining at it.. so the effect not very gOod..

went ard shopping for a while and then to OstBahnHof..saw some sort like a 'flea market' place like that.. and bought a pen and a posit pad *i reckon i can use it for making notes and its ex in dk* it only cost 70cents euro altogether which is abt 1.40+ sgd..

it was easy to learn where the platform was this time but last min there were some changes and the announcements were in deutsch.. i cld understand some but not all of it.. the story goes like this...
my train was supposed to be at gleis *meaning platform* 7 but there was an ongoing annoucement abt some trains at gleis3... then there is this announcement abt changing over from gleis7 to 6...so i really panicked for a while wondering if it changed from 7 to 3 or 6.. after confirming it with the pple on the same platform what the announcement was abt, i got reassured that i was at the right platform now.. one of the reasons i got panicky cos the train is supposed to be at the platform is not here yet.. and the announcement abt the train at glei3 kept broadcasting..
anw, the train came and finally eased my mind.. my next station, hamburg!

saying goodbye to berlin and i promise i will be back cos there are just so many places i havent been to... i dont know how long it will take for me to return to berlin again but i will.. trust me!

*anw, wanted to send a postcard back home but i scare the postcards get lost like the ones hongtai sent me.. and the postcards i bought are all very nice ones..*

eNjOyiNg bErLin ciTy mOre thAn evEr...

got up in the morning feeling sleepy as well...
got breakie at the bar and decided to pack some lunchie as well.. kekez
first stop: Schloss Charlottenburg

wow! close ya eyes and imagine how they lived in these rOoms.. the thot is just overwhelming..
went to the new wing, and learnt abt the state rooms as well as their private rooms by the leaders/kings and queens of the earlier centuries...
a few characters were over and over again empahsized...
friedrich the great, friedrich I/II/III, friedrich wilhiem I/II *was there III... to many i cant remember, need to go read it up*
and of cos, queen luise!
no photography allowed tOo.. and there was their palace staff everywhere so i cant take it..
got a audio guide which explains the place and makes things more interesting but of cos, this guide very long.. so took 3+hours to tour the whole of new wing...
lucky got this audio guide cos the explanatory notes were in deutsch and now recalling what i saw at the berliner dom.. makes more sense.. the coffins of kings friedrich(s) and queens .. piecing up the bits and pieces.. the story of Berlin.. cOoL!
it really spurred me to want to learn more abt germany.. the napolean occupation, queen luise... and those i learnt on the trip yest..

next went to mausoleum to see the sculptures of queen luise, friedrich the great and another king and queen by some sculptors when they died... wow..
there the guard was slack so i took some pics..

then went to belvedere.. to see the porcelains made in Germany.. royal porcelains as well... wow.. lOok at them and you feel theri culture and how it was like in the past.. close your eyes and imagine.. living in the past.. wow... marvelous man~

time flies.. i reached abt 11 and now its coming to 5pm.. i spent half the day here..
decided to go to kadewe at wittenbergplatz. worth going man!~
bought miracle, 30ml there.. only for 50+sgd.. and got tax refund for 6sgd.. haha...
also bought the l'oreal facial wash.. but i tink i 一时没想好 bought the normal/oily skin instead of combi/dry~oily... cos its just so cheaper than in dk.. the thot of it makes me so excited that i cant no longer think properly!

went to the zoologischer garten station to try my luck and see if the shops are still opened and i rem seeing on the map got lotsa interesting places.. then i discovered the memorial church for friedrich!
and later as i walked.. i found myself at kufurstendamm... a shopping place toO.. at 1st i thot of skipping it cos by the time i reach there, shops are probably closed but looks like some shops like H&M are still opened.. bad thing abt it is now is winter season, can see cannot buy...

had BK for dinner.. sthg i think i will not do it in dk cos her it cost abt 11sgd but in dk it definitely cost much more!

last day to go to the reichstag.. as expected, last entry at 10pm, after some half and hour queue, got into the place..
notice sthg interesting abt it..you gotta look at the pics cos verbally i tink i cant do a good description..
met an old lady there.. she saw me taking pics of the sceneries and offered to take a pic for me so i agreed... then after the pic, i went ard to look see look see.. she came to me again.. offered to take another pic for me.. sony centre as the background.. she's so kind and cute! anw, she speaks only deutsch but i can understand her...

decided to slp early today..
11plus germany time!

I'm overwhelmed by Berlin!

赖床赖得不行了。。。原本打算七点起床，但一直到八点十五分才起床。。。
breakie time after rise and shine..
regret not bringing some plastic bags.. saw some americans?/english?/aussie? girls packing the breakie in plastic bags.. for lunch i guess... its a way to save money man!~

met at the lobby at 10.15am to go for the berlin tour.. *i like this hotel very much cos its cheap, free meals, towel, hot shower, its so alive, felt so safe, the recep is nice, weather notice for the day...und so weiter...

starting point... Unter den Linden
went to Brandenburg gate where the guide told us history abt it.. its was once part of the Berlin Wall... which separates the east and west berliners...
he showed us where reichstag *parliament house* was...
brought us to the ground where hilter's bunker once was *built underground* and
holocaust memorial... where no graffiti can be done on it cos there is a special paint...
potsdamer platz
the Berlin Wall - if you are expecting some great wall of China, then be prepared to be disappointed!
Charlie Checkpoint
Museum Island - there is 8 statues/sculptures that tells a story of the kaiser, how he grew, learn sword, read, fight and finally died... but i cldnt take them down cos its just toO big...
and lots more!
wait till i sort out my pics and 'label' them accordingly..
there is one interesting fact abt East and West Berlin.. the traffic man is just the ordinary traffic man in West Berlin but in East Berlin.. its a different green man!...
the Berlin wall was torn down in 1989 Nov 10th~11th.. *how i wish i was here in Berlin at this time*

anw, the tourguide, Micheal from New Zealand was fun & interesting.. but most of the time i wasnt listening attentively to him cos i was busy taking pics...
in the group, i met a korean girl, a aussie man *called Bohdan*, a Malaysian girl *May fromo KL* ~finally met some1 so close from singapore...
bohdan and may promised to send me the pics via email.. so im expecting to hear from them soOn..

on my own..
the last destination was outside the Berliner Dom so i decided to pay a visit there 1st since its so near... paid 2.50euro and went into the church...
just as i went in, i supposed that they were filming some play and i caught a lil' of it...then went around to take pics...
i went up the dom.. gosh, the view was spectacular... *this is not the tallest building orh...*
went to the basement.. finally knew what this dom is for... its like a place where all the kings and queens coffins are place... awesome!~

next stop, Potsdamer Platz, Europe's fastest elevator in 20seconds.. to reach 90.15metres...
this is the place maN!~ to view the almost the whole of Berlin city... 一望无际，好美的景色。。。我想用相机都扑捉不下来者一切的一切。。。 好辽阔。。。awesomE~

next, Charlie Checkpoint Museum... *the guards are off duty liao*
but on my way, i stopped by the topography of terror... its mostly in deutsch so i cldnt understand it all... anw, its just right behind the berlin wall... cldnt get the chance to finish it all... and the place is closing at 6pm.. so made my trip to the Charlie Checkpoint...
entered the museum, supposed to not take pics inside the museum.. and i very obedient... obliged by the rules...til the end, i decided i shld film them down..因为实在是太多太好的影像，我不得不把它拍下来 and also cos i scare i wld forget or that i think they are classic...

once again, being in the museum feels like gg thru history... it made me want to read more abt it.. the berlin wall, the hilter times.. the blockade, the cold war... the east and west berlin!

hesitating to go to the reichstag now or tml... cos it closes at 12midnight...
well... its 9 and i havent had dinner *muesli for lunch* so i decided to return to the hostel.. wanted to eat the hostel's dinner but the kitchen is closed... the staff suggested some place outside the hostel where i cld get dinner.. but i lazy and its cold.. so i went back to my room and muesli and biscuits for dinner tonight...

its a fruitful day! i just feel that 3days in Berlin is just not enough.. Berlin, i will be back again!
i will want to go to the Concentration Camp the next time.
In the meantime, i will just read more about Germany's history and brush up on my german!

planned program for tml...

****************************************
not being able to access the net so i 'bLoggEd' on papers and now transferring to my bLogGie....
****************************************
17th October 2005

今天一早就起床准备，深怕会迟到。。赶不上火车，或找不到火车停泊的月台，但幸亏还挺容易找的。。。
but in btn, there is still a 小插曲, the lcd display showing at which platform the train is departing from malfunctioned for a few moments and the person had to do the announcements which was in danish... i got so scared that i wld miss the info cos i not very good at danish... lucky it resumed its service and i boarded the train at spor8.

having not sleeping enough for the past few days i decided to catch some slp on the train 1st...
boarded the train at 7.50am from koebenhavn central station and ard 9+~10am, the whole train enter the scandine ship... transported ppl travelling by car/train over the sea and border to germany!
at first i didnt know what to do so i just followed the pple.. thot need some customs check.. eh, no nid wor... took a pic at the top deck and the guy helping me take the pic was so friendly, he started talking to me... saying he has got his family in frankfurt and he's gg there, he noes deutsch *he's a danish*... and when he asked if i was alone...what mama said begin to cloud me..."nv talk to strangers".. so i politely excused myself and went into the cabin... he followed, not knowing if he still wana continue the conversation which im not interested in, i went to the ladies and he disappeared when i came out...
went to the shop on the ship... *wow* its so cheaper than dk... and i decided to buy a swiss army knife.. just in case... germany is so much cheaper then dk.. *shucks, shld have gone to germany for exchange instead*

back to the train, reached gErmAnY!!!!!
GOSH! its definitely much nicer than CPH, the 田地 are more neater and more greener than what i saw in Jylland on my previous trip to billund legoland... more houses here... and seems livelier...
for the 1st time i really really regret not continuing my german langauge course in the 1st yr 2nd sem... and also not coming to germany to do SEP! its cheaper, livelier and I SIMPLY LOVE GERMANY!
i hate myself for not remembering the deutsch i learnt...*shucks*

got to hamburg, still got an hour more before catching the train to berlin, i walked ard te shops and *kaoz* its again cheaper than in dk... some cheaper than singapore while others twice as ex as singapore* but in europe if u think the prices.. its quite cheaper comparing dk and de.

bought a mcChicken burger *promo ones like in sg* for 1euro = 2.10+sgd... almost the same like sg, except that its chicken pattie flatter, less veggie and with chilli sauce instead of mayo... but is cheaper than in dk, it cost 10kr = 2.80+sgd...

the train to berlin...
wanted to read and also plan my journey in berlin but the pple in the cabin was reading and i didnt want to have so many 动作 disturbing them so i just sleep...*again*
ab und zu *now and then in deutsch* i wld wake to check if im in berlin cos i scare to miss the station...

finally, im in BERLIN!
went to get the 72hr Welcome card but the person sold me the 72hrs Citytour card instead... the price is different, with the latter cheaper but the former offers more discounts and higher disc rates...anw, it doesnt really matter cos as long as im a student, i get the disc price also..

heading to my hostel *its a one star hotel*
having stayed in cph has somehow make me not so 陌生 to the transport system in europe... i kinda knew how it works... but the thing is i cldnt find the platform.. so i went back to the counter where i purchased my card and ask the person for direction.. after which i went to gleis8 to take the S7 bahn *actually i saw platform S8, S9, S10 and S11 so i thot got platform S7... in fact, its not.. the 'S' meaning its for S-bahn... the others 1-7 are for regional or inter city trains...*
alighted @ Ostkreuz and took S42 *which is 轻而易举 for me*... then alighted at S Landberger Allee... abit lost now.. cos i cldnt see the hostel building.. then *ah-ha* i finally spotted it!
its abt 4.30+pm when i reached... checked in, unloaded my stuff and decided not to waste the night, went out to explore for a while...
asked the recep and as expected, the shops usu closes at 6 in the evening... but i still wana venture out and i was careful... went to the FORUM *shopping centre* which is just next to the GENERATOR hotel.. to look see look see... then decided to have some dinner at the vietnamese restuarant and costed 4.50euro in total...

took the tram to AlexandraPlatz...
the city is ALIVE! even at 6+pm, some shops are still opened and there are still pple ard.. 我又开始后悔了。。。but thinking back, being in CPH is also not bad, at least im in germany now...

wanted to take some pics but toO dark liao...the flashlight of my cam is not strong and wow! the TV tower *fernsehtum* is really fantastic @ night. and the fountain in front of the rathaus... the 大钟 at the rathaus is very nice also but all cannot take cos toO dark... so im gg to come by again in the day and take in down..
headed back for my hostel to plan my route for the next few days in berlin...

since there is a free berlin tour, i dedicated half my day to the tour and half to myself... i reckon the tour wld be a good start to familiarise myself with the place and also can visit the berlin wall which i wanted to see very much!

sleeping late again cos of these planning and 'blogging'

1+am germany time...

jeg er træt...*im tired*

its 17th 11.56pm cph time now..
tml im gg to berlin.. my 1st time out of Denmark.. really out of it *last time i was just out of cph to billund legoland* this time germany, my dream country, here i come..
the only regret is not planning it with more time.. but its okie.. i have 7hrs of train journey, i can always plan it and have a good slp on it... im really tired..

shucks... feel abit guilty cos i have to hand in some work assgts which is due after holies.. and my knowledge still at start of sem.. haven done any revision.. but im so tired now..

went to school earlier to print the confirmation letters for hostel/hotel and do group discussion.. went to gf's place to borrow the superglue...to glue my shoes..
cant buy now cos tml gg to germany liao.. gg to hamburg to buy a pair of puma shoes..
i saw a pair in denmark... but its ex..

chatted with mummy for awhile... cos i noe she's gg to miss me.. and she cant 'see' me for a week... anw, i told a white lie... i told her i was gg with my neighbour.. yes, indeed it was true.. i planned to.. but she cldnt go last min... so i had to go alone but i didnt tell her that... "mark haddon says:'a white lie is not telling a lie, its just not telling the whole of the truth..'"

tml still gotta wake early for the train to berlin... so scare i wld miss it!

11.59pm cph 16th okt.

kUlturNattEn...*cUlture NighT*

well.. supposed to be blogging for fredag 14th.. but now its past 12.. so it has become 15th entry instead...
well.. got home at ard 1+am 'tonight'...today wasnt exactly a good day for me... kinda bad.. had a lab sesssion today... was late for it cos i had to go and get the train tixs for my germany trip *which is like last min also and i hate it*
then the lab session ended late...was supposed to meet gao feng and the grp at the 大白楼 at 5pm but ended up late.. cos my lab ended at 5mins past 5...
on my way there.. dont know what i was thinking abt..i actually fell off from the bike.. bruises on my kneel and hands.. but its okie.. what i didnt like it was that kinda dirtied my new jacket.. *oh gosh, i was actually more worried abt my jacket than myself but thats cos i know im okie*
the fall and the thot of travelling alone and the last min bOokings and accomodation not booked yet kinda spoilt my mood for this germany trip... i kept telling myself to think abt it later and njoy the culture night...
quite njoyed the night.. went to the zoo in CPH and saw penguins! the first time i tink.. haha.. then saw other rare animals.. like blue- , green- coloured frogs.. bamboo snakes... and lotsa others.. but the zoo isnt really big and the animals only comes in one or two.. unlike ours.. maybe alot.. *i dont know.. haven been to singapore zoo for a long time liao.. will go someday when i return...*
went to see a fashion show in the alley way btn the streets... then went to the roundtower *aka rundetaarn* which we get to see the moon's surface thru the binoculars.. and the whole of cph city but its very cold and windy up there...
the bad thing is that the streets is not lit up...so its not that beautiful...
went to the 地下城...where the whole of the castle sunk underneath... <>... not exactly coOl.. running out of time..
anw, we had a quick bit at mac's 10krs cheeseburger and caught the bus home.. met an unreasonable busdriver.. our tixs supposed to allow us free ride on the public transport to 1am and we boarded the bus before 1am.. he insisted that we pay... then the pple who got on the following stops didnt have to pay.. thats ridiculous... so some of us went to reason it out with the driver.. he, not being able to speak english had some problem in communicating... but the conclusion we got was since we are still on the bus after one we had to pay the fare.. he was being responsible to ask us to pay and irresponsible in not wanting the others to pay.. he is not in the wrong.. but i thot then we shld pay the fare from where we were at 1am.. then i dont need to clip 2times the 3zoner.. which is ex... damnit!
i tink the busdriver is prejudice against the chinese pple... shit him!
anw, met quite alot of pple tonight... but i also saw some1 i didnt feel like seeing at that time.. dont know why... haiz.. m i being bad.. i dont know...

finally home sweet home.. most of them stay in the 大白楼 or campus village.. only i have to cycle home.. 1+ in the night.. so sianz.. then i hesitated shld i go or shld i stay with zhang jiang for a night.. cos she offered to... i wanted to stay very much cos i didnt feel like cycling alone home.. but the other of me kept saying.. you have done this before and you will be home before you realise it.. its only short 15mins... endure and it will be over.. so i decided to go home.. cos i nidta shower and clean the bruises...
got home.. settled down and showered and cleaned the bruises... and starting to look for the accomodation in germany again... tired *_*

the lyrics is as follows: *i like the lyrics also*
Westlife~World Of Our Own~I Wanna Grow Old With You
>>
Another day
Without your smile
Another day just passes by
But now I know
How much it means
For you to stay
Right here with me

The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger
But it hurt so bad I can't take it any longer

I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you

A thousand miles between us now
It causes me to wonder how
Our love tonight remains so strong
It makes our risk right all along

The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger
But it hurt so bad I can't take it any longer

I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you

Things can come and go I know but
Baby I believe
Something's burning strong between us
Makes it clear to me

I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you

百感交汇的一天

intended to alone *8oct* to cph city but hanson decided to bring me ard to see those places where we haven visited during our last trip.. so i thot y not..

the plan is lidat.. i wake up really early in the morning and do some laundry, but as expected.. i overslpt..
but still manage to wash my bed linen and stuff..
went online.. wanted to tell mummy i wont be able to chat with her today but she slping so told vel instead.. then she broke me a news...
a piece of news which 1st made my 眼角堆积了泪滴。。。i know im gOnna get emotional abt this, i immediately turn away from the webcam...然后终于承受也控制不了(liao)了(le)， the teardrops just rolled down my cheeks...
*now as im writing this at 3+am in the morning, cph time.. i can feel thE sAdnEss oncE agAin..*
vel is considering to give snoopy away...
naughty as snoopy might be, gan jiong as hE seems..
bUt i always love him.. care for him...
anw, today or rather on the 8th, i went out to the botanical gardens located in cph city.. the first time ever i have visited a greenhouse... and saw some familiar plants... then went out to venture the other places of CPH that i havent been too.. and took the waterbus... found out a good place to have softice for 34krs... *ice cream buffet* meaning you can eat free flow of ice cream and add ya own toppings for 34krs (equivalent to 10+ sgd) well.. the icecream is just like wat you can get from Mac back in singapore.. (the 50cents/Sundae type) then make ya own toppings... no limit... and its considered worthwhile cos in dk, everyone loves softice...
after that, we went back to campus village.. to celebrater hao gong's bdae.. still feel bad abt not having a pressie for him.. but hanson said that its okie.. and his birthday had passed and this is just a thank you dinner.. *HG wanna thank them for i cant rem what hanson said*
anw, once again, i reached there and just watched and see.. not of any help.. felt so e-x-t-r-a...
waited for quite some time before the feast.. told myself i cant eat too much this time cos i had a heavy meal in the noon and i noe im growing.. tummy getting bigger and rounder.. *die* so i ate more dishes then rice.. and a smaller pc of cake..

back home.. just finished unpacking and uploading the pics.. the pics are now at my fotopage!

=) ~9thOct~cph~3+am...

nOthInG mUch...

well.. didnt know what to blOg but just felt that i shld write something *though im not very free.. and shldnt be doing this now but... just feel like leh..*

anw, tml is saturday again..*its 8.56pm in cph now.. which is 8th oct 2plus am in singapore*.. feel like gg to cph city again.. to look see look see.. but hor, tml they celebrating hao gong's belated bday.. invited me to go but hor, last min then i know so no prepare pressie for him... think better not go.. hAIz..

yupz.. rachel's back from japan.. *i also wana go!* did i even mention on the blog that she went japan last week.. haha..
then last sat, i was reminded of my bday celebration... i know, i know, its still far.. but time passes very fast.. i still dont know how bEst to celebrate.. they say book a pub.. but thats ex and not very feasible cos got children.. then book hotel ballroom but i wana sthg fun and relax... so its out.. then its only left with chalet.. so old-fashion and so many pple have done this but still, this is the only choice... i hope it will be fun and exciting! *and of cos, i hope to get the pressies from my wishlist...friends who are reading this *which i doubt many are* pls take note!.. kekez*
talk to ps abt her bdae celebration.. i tink she has already got herself a very gOod pressie though her bday falls on examination period and she's frettin over it..

hm... today is october 7th.. its daphne's and yanling's bdae...(both are my pri schmates which the former is still in contact and the latter not anymore...) though they dont have my blog addiE.. and obviously wont be seeing this.. but i still wish them happiE birthdAy!

突然有感而发。。

i feel so empty.. everything is so stagnant, 我需要一些突破。。but how can i achieve that...?

*just as im typing* i remembered i dreamt of one person as well... i cant rem wat the content was but i know all is just but memories.. i can no longer go back to that point..

i tink after coming to nus, i started having more memories.. but more regrets as well.. regretting why i hadnt grabbed hold of certain opportunities.. regretting y i hadnt njoy more of the beautiful memories.. and lastly, 遗憾的是，这些美丽的回忆将不再重演。。where are those carefree days i have...?

maybe i shldnt be looking back in life..i shld be lOoking forward in life.. yah, i really shld loOk ahEad of ME... that is again, to day-dream abt gOod things happening.. *which i doubt it will*
mondays and thursdays are my motivationaL days... they are my longest day and 1/3 of the day i shrug most but the other 1/3, im happy yet being distracted most of the time and lastly i njoyed the most...wOoHoo.. then bAcK to thE cOld ColD unwArm wEathEr and hOmE sweEt hOmE...
yeahz, to lOok ahEad makEs me a happy girl again!

cheers/aNniE blOgging off at 5.35pm cph timE =)

im gOnna miSs it man! shUcks!

。“生命不在乎得到什么，只在乎做过什么”~Beyond 黄加驹 (1962-1993)。

haiz, was just being told that beyond is coming to singapore this oct to hold their concert.. i really want to be there but i cant...
today, lagi worst, i found out that mayday 五月天 is organising their concert in singapore on dec 10. shuCks! why... why has it to be this case... both of my fav band be here when im not ard... haiz... so miserable now... sianz!~ =(

quite a few things happened lately but i havent had the time to sort things out *lest to say, blog it* so im just taking it a step at a time.. and i guess some of them who still cldnt *or hasnt* figure me out is puzzled.. yah yah, im like that.. thats why i say im weird, sometimes i feel like talking to you, sometimes i dont.. probably not *not 100%* because of what you have done but its just me.. pls understand that i do have times when i just dont feel like entertaining anyone *or maybe just you at that moment*.. so just be it.. dont bother me...
when im feeling better or that i feel that i can entertain you then i will go to you...
one more thing, i 最讨厌 pple making a generalized judgement on me... esp if you just got to know me! i mean you just know me, how much do you know about me.. 你喜欢把车停这棵树旁因为我每次都看到它在这。。 okie, this is not a qn but a statement, and this person just knew me and dont even know why im parking my bike there and is there commenting i like to park near the tree.. com'on lah, 1st, the bike was there cos easy access.. just so happened that the tree was there lor.. such a turn off.. so to conclude, dont make a generalize statement if you just got to know me! *so this is why i just shrugged and force a smile sometimes cos i just dont feel like entertaining to this kind of statement.. just dont feel like explaining how things are* -- note the use of the word 'sometimes', so this may not apply all the time.. so next time i shrug, i may not mean it this way.. so to conclude, im a simple yet complicated person, you just can not make generalized statements about me just because of sthg i do or said before.. esp if you just got to know me!

and also, i need space of my own *be it virtual or physical space*.. when at anytime i feel that you are intruding to my own space, i wld also stay away from you for a time being, when things are in comfy mode, i wld be well on again with you...

well, hopefully i can take the weekend off to sort things out and catch up with my work so that i can take it at the same pace in lects then weekends i can go out and play.. wOohOo.. *i pray i can accomplish what i wan*
