Things I did on last sunday

Sunday at Oestrich Winkel is just a NUA day. Shops are closed and there's nothing for us to do basically other than watch drama, cooking, house chores and NUA.

So this is what I did on last sunday.
I did my laundry on sat night, and since I do not have a dryer at home now, I am using all the properties I have in my room to dry my clothes, including the reflection from the glass :) I am such a smart girl haha

reflection from the glass window :)

video conferencing with my darling

Lunch that I've cooked on last sunday

I just got a pack of mee siam from asia market in Frankfurt. Gonna fried bihun today :)

Rudesheim Trip

Let's start from the Rudesheim trip. It's a wednesday and since it's sunny, we decided to make a trip to Rudesheim for its cable car. It's just 7mins train trip and it's a completely different town. Considering it is a tourist spot, there are more restaurants and shops there.

The first view I saw after stepped out from train station

Magnificent!

Antique car spotted

The tourist street

nice drawings on the wall

A restaurant full with uncles and aunties

ice wine, my purchase of the day

I just got back from Heidelberg yesterday and I will post updates soon!

I'm down

Today I was attacked by my old problem - gastric. It was 2 or 3 am in the morning where I started to vomit. Vomited all the food ate yesterday for dinner, then took some water and back to sleep. After a while, I vomited all the water I had just now. I couldn't even recall how many times I've vomited. I guess it's around 5 or more times. Everything I tried to swallow, it will come out. Until I didn't drink any water, the bladder juice came out.

Then I decided I cannot go to school today for the talk, and I asked my housemate to get me an isotonic drink after school. I was asleep the whole afternoon till around 1pm. It was much better whereby I didn't vomit my isotonic drink, but I could not swallow any food. I made 2 pieces of toast, where I only managed to finish 1 and it took me more than 30mins to finish it.

I took a nap after video conferencing with Darling before he went to work. I was much better then. At least I can eat 1 piece of orange and 1 peach. So, basically I spent the whole day at home, watch drama and check on the Berlin trip thingy.

There's a excursion to Frankfurt tomorrow and I will depart for Berlin on friday night, reaching there on Sat morning and come back to OW on Sunday.

Till then.

I enjoyed every moment video conferencing with Darling :) 

Updates

Oh, my blog is so outdated. I should be writing my 2nd trip to Ruedesheim again but it is kinda late now. I need to go to schloss campus tomorrow by 815am I guess. It's a 25mins bike trip.

It's great that we have Byrant with us now coz he is the one planning the trip! I am so lazy to plan a trip now and it's good to have him diligently planning the tripsssss. 

I had sent in my application for residence permit today together with my passport, so that means I would not be able to travel out of Germany. However, Germany alone is already very very big for me to travel. On this friday, we will have a excursion session to Frankfurt with a guided tour and after that we will take a train to Berlin. It's gonna be an overnight one and we will arrive Berlin in Sat morning, and be back to OW by Sun evening to prepare for class on the next day. Sounds good. 

I will try to update the Ruedesheim cable car tomorrow, perhaps. It's the only free time left for this week. 

Till then.

Gute Nacht

Me on my bike for the 2nd day when I got it. Damn cold when the wind blow into my direction

and I love the grapes here. Cheap and sweet!

Yea, that's my school. The schloss campus. I took this pic by my Olympus compact camera. No editing done. But it still looks great!

Rudesheim Wine Festival

Yea it's all about wine here :) We seized the chance to visit Rudesheim on last saturday since the weather was good, in fact, very hot, and sunny. Took a bus to Rudesheim and joined the Wine Festival there. It was a much smaller one compared to the one in Wiesbaden but the feeling is totally different. It is more centralized and there's 1 big stage for the performers to perform. There are many shops too, by the river Rhein and around the square.

Here, you can also take a Rhein river cruise, which we didnt take. And you can also take a cable car up hill which we missed it too due to I was down with food poisoning. I ate a fish burger and 2 glass of wine, but I was not feeling really well and went to toilet for twice. After taking a rest by a shop while the others just walking around by the area, I really feel better.

 

the fish burger stall which makes me lau sai for twice and spoil my whole day!

 

So, here's the shopping bug comes. I spotted a shoe store when we first arrived and it closes on 6pm. Since it was before 6pm, I headed to the shop with Vivi and I bought a pair of boots! Well, I didn't choose the leather one coz it's kind of expensive! The leather one costs 69.90 Euro. The one I bought is made of Nappa and it is just 35.90Euro. So I guess it's a pretty decent price and I really love the design compared to what I've seen in Wiesbaden. Though the leather one is a bit more prettier~ And sarcastically, I had forgotten that there's a shoe shop just opposite my house and I didn't even check it out! Oh my! I should have check it out since I am a shoe lover! Guess that will be tomorrow :)

great buy!

Anyway, saturday was an eventful day and sunday was the day everybody stayed at home to prepare our german presentation.

I shall upload some photos for Rudesheim trip later on. It's 12.18am now and I shall be sleeping! 

Gute Nacht!

Updates from Deutschland

I know, I should blog as frequent as possible. But sometimes it takes a little too long for blogspot to upload my pics... And the photo I post here, is different from my FB! :D

Let's start from the Wednesday we went to Wiesbaden to shop and wine festival :)
We took a train there which cost us 4.80 Euro per pax. Gosh! It's a group ticket and god knows why is it so expensive! Whatever, since we are kinda late, we have no choice but to take the fastest way there.

The ticket vending machine and the information machine

 

Snacks vending machine

The buildings along the stations we passed

The station looked so old

what an old style train. They are still using the whistle to signal it's ok to go!

At Wiesbaden

we went to the wine fest again :) This round we bought some food to eat 

 

This is not as nice as Schloss Vollrads ones

 

The best grape juice I've ever had!

After spending some time in the wine fest, as there were 2 lady sitting beside us telling us stories and stories, we are kinda late for shopping. However, we did go to shop! Zara is having off season sale @ 4.99 euro and above. According to Williams it's a shitty brand in Europe. I wonder why is it so expensive in M'sia. Me and Vivi went to Zara, Mango, H&M, and many other shops to check out. I didn't get anything in the end -_-
So since we were busy shopping, I totally forgot to take any photo at all. That's me.

I nearly bought a pair of boots at the mall near Haupbahnof but the lady told me my Timberland goretex is perfect. So I give up to buy that pair of boots which may costs me 70euro. Then we took a 830pm train back to OW with a transit @ Geisenheim. I was scolded by an Old Fashion German lady in the train coz I on my mp3 in broadcast mode. Niama.

@Geisenheim

When we arrived at OW, it's already kind of dark and we still had to ride our bicycle back! So we decided to ride against the way coz it's dark and we thought that it's safer that way.

On 19 Aug, I went to the local authority office to register myself. The purpose is to tell the ketua kampung that I am staying here. It is located on the hill and I am half dead after riding my bike up there. I did not have a map on my hand, all I rely is the signboard :) Williams and Alan went there earlier without my knowledge. So I got to go there myself after class.

The office was at the end of the road and all I see after the office is unlimited vineyards!

it was a sunny day

I was mesmerized by the scenic view and I rode all the way to get the best view of the vineyards ignoring where I was going actually, coz since as long as going downhill, I'll be able to find my way home :)
And here I present the superb view! Behold for these great sceneries!

Superb ain't it?

Outside a winehouse

I can cycle and take photo at the same time already. haha

Finally I reached the Kran!

me and my bike at the Kran

 

ducky family spotted along River Rhein!

And on the way back, I saw a tree full with apples! I do not dare to pluck it anyway...I'm chicken hearted.

Well, it's a shame that I had to self capture my own photo so cannot deliver a nice pic of myself with the superb view. This is because I like to wander around alone and I'm actually lost when I came down from the vineyards on the hills. Luckily I met Varun and he told me which way to go :P

It's time for bed now. I shall post about Rudesheim Wine Festival on wed. There's a presentation tomorrow, and it's in Deutsch!
