Ulm Minster.

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Can’t believe i slept for 3 hours after i came back from college!!This is so not good,i’ve wasted  my precious 3 hours.I can do so many things in 3 hours time!!

 

Was planning to update 2 blog posts today,but at this state i’m not sure if i could.Have to practice again later,gahhhh.FML max.

The weather’s extremely bad today,it rained fucking heavily.I can’t even see a thing you know!!

When i got home,called baby and he didn’t pick up my call for don’t-know-how-many-hours,so i went online while waiting for him to call back,and then i received a devastated news that my friend’s boyfriend passed away in a car crash.It really got me worried this time,because the boyfriend hasn’t reply my calls and it is raining heavily outside.Plus he’s the one who usually call me after my class.

 

I started sobbing like fuck.I don’t want anything to happen to my boyfriend!!I kept calling and calling but no,,mei you,nai,no one is answering!!Then i got tired,and I fell asleep untill now,he called.He’s safe and sound(was having meeting just now),teeeheee.I guess i worry too much??

 

ANYWAYSSSSSS…

 

Here’s a little update about Germany,YES AGAIN.But this time we’re in town!!Visited the tallest church in the world,Ulm Minster.The church is approximately 530 feet,and it has 768steps.

 

For a person who has phobia for heights,i really have no comments bout it.It gives me chills and goosebumps all over when i think about it.When i was walking on those narrow stairs,trying to reach the top,my face gone pale and my legs were shaking.As i go higher,i can’t even breathe properly.Its that scary to me.Plus its winter,so its really cold.

 

This is the main spire,very gothic-ish design.

Monday, April 12th, 2010

 I just realized i still have truckloads of photos from Germany that i haven’t upload them yet!!

 

Oh gawd.

 

So the last previous post in Germany was about sledging experiece,today i’m going to blog about skiing!Skiing is such a great sport in fabulous winter!Also,its so special because you could only get to experience it during winter.So we were up at Hindelang for 4 days and 3 nights,spent two days sledging and one day on skiing.I never had any experience on skiing,so me and sissy deided to sign up a one day lesson.

 

Breakfast!We have some fresh baby greens,cucmber,onions,lettuce and tomatoes.It goes really well with salami,cheese and liver pate.Simple but tasty and healthy!

Fresh buns!Freshly made every morning.Try spreading a chunk of iceycold butter on it,it melts instantly.

To the Christmas!

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

I suddenly hate my life,its like i’ve never ending accidents,problems,dramas,etc….

 

 

Remembered i was just talking bout the Go kart accident i had last Sunday?This morning i woke up with a massive pain on the right part of my waist/stomach…and the pain was familiar(when i had appendix inflamation),i had a small surgery few months ago and it wasn’t fully recover yet.But i didn’t really take care of it,i started jumping around,doing sports after 1 month which i wasn’t supposed to,i should’ve at least take 2 to 3 months rest.And that bitch gave me a huge hard knock behind my back,so i kinda have inner injuries,but its nothing serious…

 

 

Went to the hospital,met my surgeon;did a blood&urine test,CT scan and i’m blessed enough not to stay in.I’m just under medication right now,thank god!!But the most toturing part right now is……..I CAN’T GO FOR BADMINTON!

 

 

Thanks to mum,and i should’ve protest!I hate stuffing myself in the room!!And the doctor gave me sucky meds,which makes my mouth tastes awfully bitter.No matter how much candies i took,the bitterness wouldn’t go away..

 

 

So you know what i ate in order to get rid of that shitty bitterness in my mouth?

 

DURIAN.Aahahahah!It helps!REALLY!

 

Anyways,i shall stop ranting like a grandma,i too dislike my readers reading my stupid-boring-no-good rants(am such a hypocrite,dislike people to read but still wanna write),especially when you guys can’t even help me.

 

 

Helmut brought us to the Christmas market in Ulm few days before Christmas Eve,its located at the front of  Ulm Münster(the tallest church tower in the world) and that night was really freezing cold.I couldn’t feel my ears,i couldn’t feel my nose.

 

 

That’s soooooo bad.

 

 

And the worst part is,i can’t even take proper pictures because my hands and fingeres were literally frozen!The wind’s definitely not very friendly,it stung my face whenever it blows!Arrrrgh!So frustrating.And at the state of my weight,i could easily fly away like a tissue paper.

 

 

Spot the church tower behind??

ChristmasMarketEntrance

 

 

Its my first time to the Christmas market,its something like a street market/bazaar but only they sell really unique things that you couldn’t ever imagine.(mostly handmade items and lots of vintage stuffs!)And they put loads of effort decorating their stalls…The food’s definitely delicious,you’ll often find traditional ginger bread cookies,sausages and buns,pretzels,candies and they must have hot wine,which is also known as hot mulled wine.Mulled wine’s selling like hotcakes in the Christmas market!Everyone’s spotted holding a mug of wine,strolling around or chilling with their friends,but at the same time they could keep themselves warm!And yes,they serve hot mulled wine in a mug.

 

We don’t need fancy wine glass in a shitty cold weather,do we?!

 

Pretzels!If i haven’t read what’s on the banner i would just think that its a candy stall or something.

ostmann_bakery

 

 

Okay,this is really a candy stall.But the decorations were considered inferior compared to the pretzel stall!

Beautiful lightings everywhere!Feels so ‘The Grinch’,have you watch that movie yet??Everything’s so cute.

Came across a stall selling mini trouses,dresses,tops,bottoms for dolls and teddy bears!SO CUTE!

CIMG0555

 

 

I’m never a doll fan when i was young,i find them creepy.Especially the ones where you make them lie down and they’ll close their eyes,then when you put them straight they’ll open their eyes again.I cannot sleep with one of these,really.I used to get lots of it as my birthday presents,but i never enjoy single one of them.Barbie’s are still okay.

CIMG0559

 

 

CIMG0554

 

 

They even have mini hats,shoes and bags!

First day to Deutschland!

Like finally blogging something less uninteresting…

 

Had so much errands to run today,deliver stocks,in and out to the bank,taking orders…etc..its only the beggining but i could see fast cash flowing into my purse already.

 

Hopefully it gets better everyweek.About what am i up to right now,i shall not reveal yet because i still don’t think its the right time.I’m still starting small!So it is seriously nothing much to talk about!

 

As ya’ll know i went to Germany last year to visit my relatives;spent X’mas and New Years there,and here’s the pictures!I did took lotsa awesome pictures,so just stay tune k.

 

 

One thing i love about Malaysia airlines,they serve really good food.Not good good,but its really way more better than other airlines.

Medium rare tenderloin,very juicy…

CIMG0263

 

 

CIMG0258

 

I seriously strongly misses the pastries in Europe,its just so different.They were so fresh,soft but crispy on the outer layer and warm.Unlike the ones in M’sia,you can beat up the dogs with a Baguette untill the dogs die,it will still remain in that bloody hard shape.

CIMG0260

 

OMG muffins!If i’m staying there for a month,comfirm fat kao kao!I already gained 2KGs when i’m only there for like 2 weeks?!

Jolly Christmas eve.

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

Are you having a good Christmas?

 

 

 

Well,i am.Spending some quality time with the family,having good food and beer,enjoy the warmth and joy of Christmas.Ahhhh,it was good.Sadly there’s no white Christmas for us this year cause the snow melted few days ago,but i’m glad we headed up the mountain earlier ago before the weather turns warm.

Joined my cousins to the church during Christmas eve,although i didn’t know what were they speaking(because its in German) but i enjoyed the Christmas carols!And i think i’ve the urge to learn and speak German because there are too many hot ang mohs already.Even in the church you know!!Ahhhh,couldn’t resist.They’re so effing hawt.Especially the skiing instructor.

Ooo la la.

 

 

 

 

No,wait.I think the one at the Church was hotter.

 

 

 

 

CANNOT MAKE IT LA IF I DON’T KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE.

Must speak German.(This is definitely going to be one of my New Year’s resolutions.)

 

Its easier said than done.We’ll see.

So after dinner i had been given a task to distract the kids up to my room just to give the adults time to put the presents under the Christmas tree.(Because they still believed in Santa).

 

 

When the bell rings…….

The kids rushed down and they were so excited to check on the presents!They really believed that Santa came by,so cute!!
