First day of snow

On a lovely friday, when I wake up around 8+ am, expecting it to snow but when I look through my window, the sky is cloudy without snow. -_-

So I walked to the kitchen to check with Xue Chen whether she wants to join us for Christmas Market tomorrow, suddenly I saw the snow dropping from sky ^^

From the start, the flakes are small, then gets bigger and covered the roofs. When it reached my hand, it melted instantly. The snow flakes does look like what is indicated in the picture. * * * *

Queen's Army Changing Ceremony

One of the process is the pancaragam soldiers will make a circle to play some music in front of the main gate.
And one of the song is Quando Quando :D

Late night blog

I have my Italy's trip train booked. Next week I am gonna settle every hostel for my trip to berlin, budapest and italy before I get going everywhere.

The weather forecast said it might snow tomorrow but chances are bigger on thursday as almost all the weather forecast site I have checked says it will snow on thursday. I am so looking forward for it. Previously I am still kind of worry about if it didn't snow before I go back to KL. haha

Went to EBS Christmas concert today but it was kind of boring. The band didn't sing any christmas song and we are asked to sing together instead. The feel was just not there and lacking. Spend 5euro for the entry and 1 euro for the waffle. Better toast my own waffle and eat with ice cream. Total cost also lesser than the cost I have spent today. Anyway, there's first time for everything. I'm not gonna fall for it again.

I am free this week but all train tickets and flight tickets are expensive now to book as last minute. So, I'm planning to visit Loreley tomorrow, hopefully... I am still wondering which is the correct station to go...Wondering should I ask some ppl to join me or not... and tomorrow's weather forecast says it might rain or snow. We shall see what time I wake up tomorrow then.

Gute Nacht

A fruitful London trip

Fruitful not as in full with shopping bags. Although I did get some clothes from Primark :D
In this 5days I managed to meet 2 old friends that I haven't meet them for more than 1 or 2 years!
Yea, I know I'm bad... Only will contact them when I want to go there, and I shall change my bad habit.

I love London for:
1. all in english
2. multi racial so you won't feel the difference like in Germany
3. metropolitan
4. full fledge transport system
5. trains cheaper than Germany

Day 1, met up with Elin @ Four Seasons to eat roast duck rice. It has been so long since I ate proper chinese food. I appreciate it! Then we went to Oxford street and head to Primark. I really love Primark, everything is so cheap there. Then Elin also brought me to Chinatown and I envy the chinese in London so much! Everything is there and so accesible; compare to Frankfurt T_T Then head to Ray's house and he was so kind to pick me up from the station.



Day 2, went to Cambridge and spend 3hrs plus there. Coz I prebooked the ticket and the day is gonna be dark very soon, so I didn't plan to stay there for longer time. It was a very beautiful city especially at the riverside. However, it was very windy and cold as well. Later, head to chinatown again to met up with Ray and his friends to have a chinese buffet dinner. Their buffet is like economy rice style, but it's good to have chinese food again! Had an enjoyable chatwith Ray too :D

 the bus to and fro cambridge for only 12pounds. Have to buy online


 Aiyo, I am so beautiful~





Day 3, went to Harry Potter's platform, St paul's cathedral, walk along Thames, tower bridge, tower of london (just pass by) and Greenwich meridian time :) The sky gets dark around 4pm, so by the time I reached Greenwich, it was already very dark and worse, it rains. Nevertheless, I managed to find my way to the Royal Observation musuem where I can find the GMT 0 time :D Then met up with Ray to have British dinner. Oh well, britain does not really have any specialty food like in Europe. Or I should say, it's the base for western food, and other countries customized it to their own style. Nevertheless, I had a great time dining!

 That's how they park their motorbike. So organized

 Borough Market. I stumbled into this market unexpectedly
 Yummy carrot cake
 Me by Tower Bridge

 Me @ Meridian 0 0 00 GMT 0

 Beautiful ain't it

 My british dinner for the day

Day 4, I woke up late coz I slept late previous night. Why? Thanks to my stupid group member for screwing up the assignment. I had yet to check the final version now and I do not wish to do so. So I had to amend his part and order him to continue to amend it. I arrived at Victoria Station around 10.40am, so I had to find my way quickly to Buckingham Palace in order not to miss the change of queen's guard ceremony. There were already lots of people waiting there. And it was so hard to find a good place to watch them. Alas, I had a chance to watch at the first row (just by the pagar) when they played the music. Next, I walked my way to Hyde Park passing through Green Park and Wellington's Arch. Then I took a bus to Kensington Park to look for Royal Albert Hall, where Siti Nurhaliza had a concert there years ago. Well, I'm not a fan of hers but I just wanna have a look at those buildings I heard of :) I love the fact thar London has so many parks and so accessible. Then I went to Harrods, took London eye and by the time I got off from London Eye, it was completely dark -_- Originally I planned to go to Sheperd's Bush for shopping but it was friday and shops are closing at 6pm (heard so), so I gave up and went to Oxford Street for Primark again. However, I didn't manage to go as well! Coz I had a movie later and I need to go home earlier to prepare myself. So, I head to Picadilly to look for Planet Hollywood for NC's shot glass but they are out of stock. What makes me pissed off is when I wanna borrow PH's toilet, the girl told me it's only for guest. What the heck, I wanna be your customer but you have no stock, and I can't use the toilet coz I am not your customer. So cheapskate.

 waiting for the ceremony
 Oh no, change of season, they aren't in red anymore! 






 Harrod's giant bear
 Duck and roast pork rice!
Westminster Abbey





Anyway, I head back to Ray's house and took a bath, had dinner and my Ben & Jerry's which I bought it for 1.99pound :D and head to the cinema for Harry Potter ! It was a good movie and I can see Harry Potter grew really old lol. Anyway, the gap between the series are too long and even I had forgotten who are some of the people in the show. There are some scary parts too, which I also terkejut and nearly jumped up!



Day 5, my damn phone had a sms and when I turned to look at it, I knocked my forehead to the cupboard next to me. Got myself prepared, and Ray sent me to airport :D Had a McD wrap and it was yummy! I arrived at Frankfurt with a depress feeling coz everything was back in Deutsch again T_T Reached home at 8pm coz I was late 3mins for the bus to Mainz. So in order not to wait for 2hrs, I pandai pandai took bus to Koblenz, and took a train back from there. The time was longer and more expensive T_T So I've learnt my lesson and I rather wait for longer time next time.

 if you don't pay bus fare, then if you are caught, you will get 40 euro fine. 40euros is a lot of money

And I surrender to it - Longchamp

Since my discussion is gonna be on Sunday, I gave a call to Byrant yesterday to ask him about his outlet trip. Apparently they changed the date to 24th but he double checked with Alan and Nicole again whether wanna go today. Yes, we made it :) Bought a Schonen Wochenende ticket and each of us only pay 9euro for the trip to and fro. 4 hours to go there, 4 hours to come back. The ticket worth its price.

I've been struggling with my decision want to get a Longchamp or not...And I decided before I go back, I shall get 1 with tax refund. When Alan called me and told me the price in the outlet was 40+, I was like what!!!?? so cheap compared to the one I saw in Paris and I would not even think to buy.

I head to Longchamp, and start to choose. The color available was quite limited as well as the sizes. Originally, I took 1 medium in pink color thinking to buy for sis as her diaper bag. I didn't grab it on my hand, and later on, it's already on others' hand and all I can do is wait for him to put it back, but in vain. There's a white color with same size but I reckoned that with white color, the bag will be a waste. So I decided to get a non foldable one. And head to other shops. After that, I decided to make another trip to the shop again to see whether did they refill the stock. Yes, they did, although the lady told me all the sizes , and color there are last. Damn. So I quickly grab a foldable tote and bought it. Happy!

Forgot to mention, I even bought a long coat in Aldi for only 29.90~~ happy x 2!

I'm bored...

It has been 6 days since I've updated my blog. Have been lazy and fallen for these few days. Last 2 weeks I have classes, 3days in a week, finally getting a bit busier but still very free. Was spending my time watching Criminal Mind and doing assignment. Byrant invited me for Wertheim outlet village shopping trip but I can't join because I wanna do my assignment. It's a group work so I have to wait for the group discussion. But I think that's an excuse! Anyway, I don't think I wanna go on this sat since I still have assignment to settle before I depart for London next week. Yea, I am going to London for 5days, will squat at Ray's house (thanks for his empathy) and let's see what to do there. I might need to bring along my lappy to work from London for my assignment... Damn it.

I just booked my ticket to Italy! :D:D from 15th Dec to 22nd Dec. The ticket was 6euro but after 12am, it turned 7euro! Darn it. Anyway, altogether my to and fro ticket only cost me 47euro, although that doesn't include the transport to the airport of course. I haven't decide whether to check in my luggage or not. Apparently, my luggage was a bit bigger than the allowed size but that front compartment is quite flexible which I can just push it in to go through the size gate. I shall check it out next week when I go to London on what kind of luggage can be brought.

I have just heard some news and started to wonder about the value system of the people in big cities. What are they thinking about? Is it really so complicated or they wanna make it so complicated?

I shall work on my assignment now! Although is late night but I don't have the sleepy bug with me :)

What the heck

I do not understand why do I need to fill the race column even when I try to apply for IPO. Aren't we 1 Malaysia? what the fuck

Shopaholic goes to Wiesbaden

Went to Wiesbaden yesterday by bus with the intention to get C&A legging to wear as long john coz I've bought 1 in Prague and it is so comfy that I decided I should get 2 more. So I decided to take a 11.18am bus but it was late for 30mins. Nevertheless, I still manage to hop on the bus and reached Wiesbaden by almost 1pm. I reckoned I should be back by 4pm in order to skype with darling, so I have almost 2 hours shopping time. Thus, I can only shop by the shopping mall next to the Haupbahnof. Actually, it's more than enough with all the shops in there :D

There are H&M, pimkie, newyorkers, C&A and many more which I do not even have the time to check out. I spent almost 1.5hrs in C&A choosing and trying on the clothes. Now I regret that I didn't snap a pic of me with the leather tube dress on! T_T That dress worth 19euro but I hold on to it! I didn't buy that coz I've found a perfect jeans which also cost 19euro and I decided to choose the pair of jeans over that dress. Thinking that since I'm going to Bangkok on Jan, so I shall get nicer dress over there :)

Originally, I wanted to get 2pairs of the super comfy leggings but after I've found 2 shirts at 9euro each, and a pair of jeans that suits me perfectly well, I had to give up 1 pair of the leggings. I have to control my spending habit. So 4 items from C&A worth 46euros in total :) After that, I hopped in to H&M just to check out how expensive it was compared to C&A. I seldom shop at C&A previously. So the quality of H&M isn't that good compare to C&A but the design and style was much better. However, since I'm looking for simple designs and I'm not those chio people, C&A style is ok for me. And H&M clothes now doesn't really suit Malaysia weather later when I go back. But but but, I've found myself a 3quarter pants at 5euro! and I fits perfectly well too! Heck, whatever I take fits well this day. So in total I've bought 5 items with 51euro and that's in 2hrs time :D I'm a happy girl!

I couldn't snap any pics with my new clothes on coz the mirror in my room is not a full body one. Too bad la~

Sooo stupid of me

Today when I got back from school, I was thinking to try a new road. I knew that road will have a short distance of against the way to my house but I can ride on the path way. And so I took a early turning than before. Heck! That was a stony road! As usual it's a uphill road but the stones make it damn hard for me to ride! And so, I shall forget about the road next time.

I have a learning report, presentation slides, case study to finish by this week. A write up and final case for OB next week. And London will be waiting for me :D I shall stay at Ray's house to save my budget on hostel. The thing is, I haven't had the time to do any research at all!

Till then
