I wanna go somewhere far away this holidays….

Thank you and Good Bye 2010! Part I.

Looking back, 2010 had been a good year on the overall. I couldn’t ask for more.

It also marked an important event – Graduation from Singapore Polytechnic with a Diploma in Biomedical Science; a significant milestone in my teenage year.  Yesss I’m still a teen until I’m 21, I insist!! Despite no more nine-TEEN.

Its also a year I’d travelled the world the most number of times! Because I’d a long long break after graduation! Since March – Mid August.

 

The 2010 milestones..

To kick start 2010, I celebrated New Year in Vietnam with my beloved family!

Some photos!

The factory outlet store we went to..

it was a very huge place but i got nothing out of it.. mostly too expensive! ;(

During dinnerrrrr!

hehehe i think they both look so cute! i’m like totally self-obsessed with my parents! but i really love them loads :D!

This was the restaurant we had our dinner!

they have quite a nice ambience! hehehe.

Our tableeeee!

we had..pork knuckles (i think) that night! our last local dinner in germany! (: and it totally tasted like the chinese roasted meat. shao rou. lol. i can’t type in chinese!

Beer beer beer..!!

the whole group of ~40 people drank a total of 52 glasses of beer!! remember to take in account people like ME who don’t drink at all! sooo some people can really drink! like 3-4 glassessss omg. i think its 500mL each!

Yaaaa, our pork knuckles! they are grilled to perfection here! HAHAHA.

The control tower @ the olympic stadium! i think its 290m..

its the Munich Olympic Stadium anyway. which hosted Olympics in the year..1972? I thinkkkkk so.

I like this! the angle is special!

Met two super cute dogs there! Awwwwwwww~ Daddy was touching one of them!

Uhm..around the city centre I believe..

the centre of their market..knowingly the Marienplatz!

seriously the tour agency who arranged our itenary ought to be more cautious lor! it was planned for us to visit this place on Sunday. and when we were there. none of the stalls were open. NONEEE. haha. so many aunties and uncles couldnt wait to buy local sausages etc. but they were all so disappointed!

City area.

i still ♥♥ their buildings. pretty max.

I can't remember what building is this..

either the palace of justice court? or national state opera house? or royal residence..? i really have no idea! :(

see those lil' cartoon like characters..?

those characters looking like wooden toys can move when the clock strikes ~12pm! we were there at 11plus nearing 12 and we waited for it. apparently many many peopleeeee were waiting to see it move! hahaha. (:

Woahhhhhh!!!

Of course its not mine…! HAHAHAA. (:

okay with that. i’ll end my posts on my germany trip! i realllly hate the internet speed for its really a torture to wait for the photos to load and upload etc.

Germany/Austria: Day 1 to 2 !

Time for another update since its been a few days since I was back from Bangkok, Thailand, the land of SMILES. In summary it was an awesome trip with girlies. We had a damn good time shopping especially!! Alrighty I’ll update photos on this trip soon!

But for now I’ma start with my Germany/Austria trip which I’ve procrastinated for a long time!

1

This was the first activity we had after arrival upon the Frankfurt International Airport – a cruise along Loreley Rhine River from St. Goar to Boppard. (background picture of the collage is the scenary along the river.) I was just looking around because they pretty much looked the same and didn’t even pay much attention. So much so that even when the cruise took a detour, I wasn’t aware! D: The sausages with mashed potatoes and some preserved vegetable that tasted damn sour (below the sausages!), was our first local meal in a restaurant! And for that first night, we stayed in a hotel in Rothenburg which unfortunately I did not manage to capture a photo of the hotel!

IMG_0954

IMG_0962

Some photos taken before our lunch! :D

2

The next morning we took a walk around the City which was supposed to be done the night before but because it was tooo cold at night, our tour guide only brought us around in the morning after breakfast! :D I simply love their architecture. Why can’t buildings in Singapore/Malaysia be abit like that? :)))

IMG_1006

The three of us infront of their Planlein Square building in the middle of the city! :))

Afterwhich, we checked out of the hotel and continued our journey to the next city – Fuessen! My favourite city among the few that we visited, actually. Because there was SNOW! :D Also, we got the visit the Neuschwanstein Castle built by King Ludwig II (I think). Its one of the most beautiful castle I’ve visited up-to-date and its my favourite for now! (Got to visit a few castles in Scotland when I was there for my attachment!)

IMG_1040

Snow snow snow. BUT. my feet was suffering the whole day. because.. the adidas running shoe that I wore apparently had some ‘holes’ below the soles, supposingly to aid in running or what. AND i totally forgot about that and happily followed the instructions of my physiotherapist to wear ‘sports shoes’ to protect my feet. dangz. my feet was damn cold the whole day! thank goodness the other days weren’t that bad!

IMG_1042

I personally love love love this photo alot! thanks to one of the uncle ( I can’t remember who :P, but is one of daddy’s friend) who took this candid shot before we stood in position! haha. the picture depicts totally happiness la, so surreal. but of cos its not posed.

IMG_1043

hehehhe, in position! :))

IMG_1046

a sneak preview of the castle! i. was. amazed. by. how. magnificent. and. grand. it. looked. I LOVE KING LUDWIG II LAAA. and anyway. according to our tour guide, the disney logo was designed using this NEUSCHWANSTEIN castle! how coool.

disney_logo

nah, here’s the Disney logo. do you think it resembles?

IMG_1049
