July 19 wkend activitiesDriving story: I put the key into the ignition hole but I cant turn it!! Then I panic.... It was 12.40 am le lor in some ulu car park at kallang leisure park. So I called my dad who dunno how to unlock it too. Then I decided to call my fren hahah lucky fren haben go up expressway otherwise I think I will get scolding le =p Fren so smart!!! Told me to turn the steering wheel then turn the key then can le! Happy! =) Reason for unable to turn key in ignition hole
Noticed something about my driving.... I dun seem to shift to gear 5 fast enough... Guess gotta take note...
Today seems to be a day of getting lost. First I turn the wrong way when I exit PIE onto Bedok North Road. I went e opp direction from where I m supposed to go =p So u-turn then I turn into the wrong avenue so once again U-turn. oh well... all mistakes will let me learn =) Then today on my way home from Kallang Leisure Park, I also abit blur where I was but somehow still managed to get home =S abit dependent on 6th sense kind.... no good.... I must go there again and make it deterministic. =D Somehow or other the roads there seem diff from the ones shown on maps.... dunno why..
Oh finally went to the cinema at kallang leisure park! Its quite good~ (to me, cinema good = a person can walk past without me tucking in my legs kind ) I like big leg space =p Screen feels the same to me... tot e audio was not bad.. but maybe cuz its new =p Guess the only prob is the accessibility of that place. If i dun hav e van today, I also wun go there bah...
tired... Went cycling before movie. Cycled for a very long distance today: from ECP mac to some 5km from changi beach. Think we cycled till some ulu corner of Changi airport. hahah amazing... my lower body was rather numb on my return trip hahah... N i still managed to drive to catch a movie. lol... Just before I enter the carpark for Kallang leisure park, I saw fireworks! =D happy... Quite nice to see fireworks after a crappy, bluely day. Also dunno why I so blue today, must be the weather hahah... July 06 Wkend musings...Feeling sleeping on a lazy Sunday hahah....
Driving story on 04/07/2008: I entered a 1.9m HDB carpark and I hear a .. very loud clang sound! hahah tot the board fall off or something but lucky it didnt. Doesnt matter to papa's van la since it already got a dent up there. Whats a few more scratches rite? =D
Wanted to go Absolute Haven to try on 05/07/2008 but it rained! so abit mafan to walk from Dhoby Ghaut mrt over la. Ended up at ichiban which is nice.... but no sense of novelty i guess...
Showed my frenz the jiemei photos from 15/06/2008. Their comments was "is tube the dress code?" haha... Now that I look at it... ya seems quite qiao all turn up in tube =p What you think?
Showed them the pic cuz I told them I bought a dress which I cannot sit (can only sit at e tip of chair kind), cannot squat, cannot walk in big steps. Lucky I decided not to drive that day. Otherwise dunno how to climb up to the van =S
Its time to get a new hp. My Sony Ericsson W580i needs to go for services again; cannot use 2 of the buttons. Sianz... Think I shall just get a new hp using my bro's contract. Send for servicing once is fine but send for servicing twice in half a yr is just a bit too much bah. Tot getting Samsung U700 cuz it comes in purple! But the reviews like crap so guess back to Sony Ericsson. Hmm... W350i? It got purple too =) N it has the flip feature =p so nostalgia. July 01 Eastern Europe 200806My trip this time is to Eastern Europe.
State, country in order of travel: Berlin, Germany -> Dresden, Germany -> Prague, Czech -> Krakow, Poland -> Vienna, Austria -> Budapest, Hungary -> Bratislava, Slovakia -> Vienna, Austria
Summary is at bottom if you wanna bypass the minute details.
Exchange rate was S$2.12 to 1 Euro
EE refers to Eastern Europe. Too tired to keep typing it in full.
20/06/2008: Istanbul, Turkey -> Berlin, Germany
Flight start from Changi Airport Terminal 1. Flying Turkish Airline. haha leg space is cramped =p started flight with gossiping and somehow gossiped for 2 hrs. Amazing.... then watched PS I Love You. Kinda slow so doze off every now and then. Then I got tired of dozing so I took my sleeping pill and slept for 4 hrs straight. Shiok! Then woke up n finish the show. And the 11 hr flight just pass like that and I reached...... Istanbul airport! hahah transit time. Feeling greedy so I bought a Kinder bueno chocolate with cereal inside wan. very nice =) then saw BK and bought chicken wings for 7 Euros =S expensive wings. but I think there's like 10 of them so not so bad and its rather tasty haha...
21/06/2008: Berlin, Germany
Reached Berlin at 1115hr. Guide gave us half an hr to wash up. My 1 litre nalgene water bottle reached in 1 piece so I could drink water once I got my luggage! bwhahah.... *happy* Then we board bus at 1145hr and head for Pork Knuckle lunch! Yum yum. Look at album for pics =) Meat is tender with a huge mount of potato =p After lunch, we start our Berlin city tour. Saw their Reichstag Building which have sculptures on their wall, Italian Renaissance style. But hor... they have a glass dome on top and some clear glass panes (ie not stained glass pattern) which kinda break e Renaissance style. For sporeans, imagine old Supreme court with a glass dome on top =S After this was a series of Berlin wall visits. Starting with Brandenburg Gate which has Nike on top. Kinda shocked to hear guide introducing it as Nike. Tot this goddess only exists in books and legends. haha.... This Gate seems to be a square with tons of activties around: horse carriages, 5-men bicycle, break dancing (which is not very nice), ppl acting as statues. Cont seeing other parts of Berlin wall. There is this shop which sell small pieces (ard palm size) of Berlin wall at 7 - 8 Euro depending on the actual size. Finally, shopping street: Tauentzienstrasse! We started off with Wilhelm Memorial Church which is a very nice old bombed church. They did build a replacement next to it. But somehow, I prefer the old one. More flavour I guess.... the inside of the new one is nice though :D I like the blue glass. okok shopping! That street have Levis, Esprit, Zara (sale going on), Nike town (which is just 2 levels of Nike; got free loo here though hahah), mango.... I went to this shop Orsay and bought a white halter for 4.90 Euro only! haha... Wore it on the next day! :D Fren bought a white denim skirt at 14.90 Euro. Then we went to their Watsons equivalent, named DM cuz ah.... I wanna buy nail polish! =D Bimbo tendencies dun diminish when travelling, you see. Bought a tiny bottle of midnite blue at 1.49 Euro and quite a bit of chewing gum/bubblegum. Cashier there lead a good life. Customers have to unload their stuff from baskets and have to bag their own purchase so basically the cashier just scan and collect $$. =p At then end of this long shopping street is KaDaWe, Takashimaya equivalent. lol... Shopping is a tiring event so dinner time! At some Chinese restaurant at that street. Their cooking tastes weird; maybe its the water? =p anyway, think thats the worst Chinese meal I had in EE. (There is contention here among my frenz =p) After dinner, is hotel sweet hotel: Holiday Inn.
22/06/2008: Berlin, Germany -> Dresden, Germany -> Prague, Czech
OK good news abt here is I didnt write abt this portion into my diary so think ah I most prob wun remember much hahah.... anyway day started as a very sunny day. Thank god I wore my new halter! Anyway, came upon these girls wearing bridal gowns on this hot day so I walked over to one and asked what she's doing (in a nice way, I hope). She said they are selling lace made in a traditional way in some tiny old town. thats in summary la anyway, u gotta pay to chat with girls (guys shld know this) so I bought a piece of lace from her at 5 Euro lo. There is this nice square area (e pics after the mac sign) where we spent hell lot of time there. bwhahha.... fren A took pic then say some ugly item in e pics so retake; then smile not nice retake; umbrella flew into the pic retake. Imagine there are 3 of us there so every one of us went thru that so ya..... this guy by e roadside was luffin at us. haha.... lunch is free n easy on this day so we ate at a restaurant at Hilton hotel. It isnt as ex as it sounds la. Tink ard 18 Euro for that plate of turkey meat. Oh I drank beer cuz ah the "lace bride" gave me some drinks voucher. The beer cost 2 Euro, I think so effectively I paid 3 Euro for that lace? haha... anyway, I remember the beer and coke cost abt the same in that restaurant. okok main thing is this portion: after lunch we went to the loo in Hilton hotel and .... its costs us 0.5 Euro!! imagine a 5 star hotel like Hilton collection money for toilet like a roadside cafe! bwhahah.... Paris Hilton must have spent alot. ok... anyway after lunch is a mad rush to take pics as u can see from my photos. Really like those golden tips on their buildings; think i can get one for my future house? =D Then u saw these 2 ppl in costumes rite? We took pics next to them then I shouted 1,2,3 too loudly so I ah... got hushed by one of the ppl in e costumes *blush* Oh well... from then on, I am careful at where I shout 1,2,3 even to the extent of not shouting hahah.... tink my frenz not very happy at my lesson learnt: they dunno when to start smiling =p Ok after dresden is travelling to Prague! We reached Corinthia Panorama Hotel just in time for dinner! Which sux btw. hahah the chicken is too tough to be chewed. I gave up quite early. hahah My fren tried to shred the chicken and eat it with the pasta. Well u can see e amt that we left on e plate. hmmm seems that for a portion which I didnt wrote down, I rem alot. =p
23/06/2008: Prague, Czech
Today is tour of Prahu, an old town too where tour buses are not allowed in so we gotta walk! Once again sunny day; so ah lucky I wore halter too. At least there will only be 1 tan line =p Remembered there is this alley with tiny shops and I bought a Czech fairy tale book there for 15 Euro. haha... Had chinese food for lunch here in some alley. Ok, not too bad. Then went to this market street like thingy which sells veggies, sweets, biscuits, souveniors, flowers etc etc hahah.. Bought quite a few souveniors here cuz they all look rather cute. Our tour guide told us here is famous for roast duck with apples but somehow I cant seem to find it so in e end settled for duck w potato dumpling (can refer to prawn's camera album). The duck tastes like spore lor duck but it tastes slightly different with the sauce hahah... the potato dumpling tastes weird... abit gooey kind. Tried one and stopped. hahah... the duck is e only thing we ordered from this shop oh and drinks as well. It cost us S$16 each (i only rem cuz my fren harped on it. =D Thats why for this price its in S$ and not euro =p) After this dish of duck, we went in search of finger food! haha I bought a kebab! which is very salty -_-" so I ate half; fren ate 1/4; dustbin ate the remaining 1/4. I m getting resigned to the fact that food in EE is salty. After touring Prahu, fren n i decided to go supermarket near hotel. We ended up at some Ikea-equivalent named Bauhaus where I have to mimed drinking water to ask where is supermarket hahah.. Went there and bought 2 cans of beer (for my ma; it cost less than S$2 per can), chocolate wafers (for myself); 6 bottles of mineral water (4 are for myself) and an ice-lolly =D then i did the silliest thing ever: I gave the cashier 100 Euro note. And she return the change to me in Koruna (Czech's currency) So I have ard 2000 Koruna on my last nite in Czech! Wonderful right? haha... 2000 Kr is ard S$180. Hahah almost went mad.. Went in and requested help from some tour mates. I help them pay in Kr and they pay me back in Euro. That way, I got rid of 110 Kr. lol.... every journey start with small step mah. Then tour guide consoled me by saying we will be stopping by Czech for lunch in a few days then I can get rid of somemore lo. Then when I reach Poland and Hungary, I changed the Koruna into Zlotych and Forint respectively so managed to get rid of all my Koruna =D
24/06/2008 Prague, Czech -> Krakow, Poland
Exchange rate: 1 zlotych(zl) to S$0.69 (for me due to my usage of Koruna)
OK this is a day of travelling from Prague to Krakow so we spent most of the time on bus. Stopped to change money into Zlotych and hav lunch (17.5 zlotych). Lunch was not bad; Liked the chips but as usual salty But portion of chips lil so I finish the chips =D Went to visit Wieliczka salt mine. Very shuai guide! OK thats not the point. Air inside the salt mine is really quite fresh and unpolluted. I could only tell the diff cuz EE air so far has been rather dusty =p The sculptures all look like stone but once u shine torch light thru then u can see the translucency. Think the effect not very obvious in my album but oh well I tried =D There is this church which looks magnificent wth salt floor, walls, paintings (The Last Supper is 1 eg). Pics in another camera tho. There is this salty lake area where the shuai guide say got 2 ppl drowned there before. Cuz it was a much bigger lake then with boats across it. The boat capsized and the salty lake forced the ppl to float to the top and they died of suffocation. Not a very nice tot but fyi, i guess. Stayed at Hotel Orbis Cracovia Kraków where our first taste of non-aircon hotel rm starts. No aircon = open window lo = danger of ppl climbing in cuz we stayed on lvl 1 where there is a roof right in front of window. hahah lucky there is a smaller window so we open all the windows once we reached hotel and closed the big one before we sleep lo. At least the bathroom is big. And there is a sleeping area, living rm and cloak rm haha.. quite a nice setup only if there is aircon and the tv is at the sleeping area instead of living rm.
25/06/2008: Krakow, Poland
Morn - City tour starts! See palace, churches, oldest universities in an old town. =p There is this pic with lotsa domes rite? Kinda remind me of mosques... Gold dome mah.... sure got resemblance. Anyway, the Polish palace didnt look as grand as I imagined a palace shld be. Its just looks like a classroom block with courtyard hahah... =p erm with slightly nicer rooftops? okok lunch here is good! not very salty and its pork with prunes! haha got fren dun eat prune so carved it out so she has a hole in the pork. lol... oh well... i love this lunch hahah. nice! soup and desserts are good too =D this is supposed to be traditional Polish meal. haha... After this was the solemn Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Very somber guide. Rather disturbed feeling in e air (For lack of better words), but it may be due to the guide's way of explaining. Photos are only allowed outdoor and not indoor. But I didnt take any outdoor or indoor. Some of the buildings are converted into museums styled display. So u walk into 1 rm and there are glass windows enclosing certain sections. There is this rm which showcases the hair of the prisoners. Prisoners were asked to stripped and tricked into going into gas chambers. After they are gassed, their hair were shaved off and golden teeth are extracted. Hair was made into mattresses for German civilians. =S How can e civilians sleep on them? Wun they have nightmares? Or maybe they dunno? Braids can be seen inside the showcase somemore. =S =S Tour ended with gas chambers. After this, we have option of going back hotel or drop off at the old town so we chose to drop off at old town. For dinner, we ate Polish dumplings. 6.90 zl for 10 traditional Polish dumplings: 3 kinds - meat; mushroom & cabbage; potato & cheese. All agreed that meat is better so we ordered another plate of 10 of meat which cost 9.90 zl. The dumplings' skin is rather thich but the filling are quite nice. =D After dumplings, I went across to get icecream which I saw a kid eating hahaha its very tall! there are 2 size: small and big. I got the small one (4 zl). Fren asked:"why do u want to get the small one when u just need to pay 1 zl more for the big one?" After mine was given to me, she bought a small one too. ENuff said =p Then we nua at the square area which has nice music and cool breeze while my frenz take pics, 1 admired and spolit her souvenior; play with a cute bb girl and ah.... I was reading. hahah book too engaging =D After nua-ing for some time, we decided to move out butt and get the nice smelling kebab (9 zl) from one of the streets. It smells nice only didnt taste very nice so I just picked the veggies to eat and throw away the rest =p As there are 6 of us and we really hate to separate the 6 of us into 2 cabs so we took a horse carriage back! =D hahah 100 zl. Nice ride cuz of the cool breeze and its sunsetting time so still enuff light to see the streets etc. Anyway it rained that night and we open window = insect world at hotel.... lol...
26/06/2008: Krakow, Poland -> Vienna, Austria
Spent the day travelling from Poland to Austria. Reached Vienna in the evening where we saw some enthu Spain fans standing in the light drizzle rain along the streets ahhaah can sense the Euro Cup atmosphere. 1 hotel even hung footballs at their entrance there =p hahah Anyway, we reach Swarovski shop at 5.45pm so mad rush for shopping hahah... cuz they closed at 6pm. Fren bought a necklace at 80 Euro. this shop had 5% discount so it become 76 Euro then tax rebate of 8 Euro so equals 68 Euro which amounts to S$144. I went to Suntec to check the price and its S$170 so its cheaper by 20%! hahah... so folks, can buy swarovski in Vienna due to the tax rebate. =D Dinner is chinese meal at 青岛 restaurant. Meal was not bad but restaurant too hot cuz no aircon so the whole grp left the restaurant once the meal ended. The guide ran out without finishing her meal... lol.... poor thing but we didnt mean to rush her meal. Just that its too hot for comfort. Stayed at Artis Hotel Wien. Hottest hotel cuz 1) window open to some platform which can be used to access another room of the hotel 2) window is spoilt. BTW, EE window is rather interesting. U turn the handle upwards such that it become vertical, u can open it in a paned window way. U turn the handle horizontal, u can open it widely. then vertically downwards is to lock it. for both winter n summer usage I guess. This website shld explain it clearer. haha...
27/06/2008: Vienna, Austria -> Budapest, Hungary
Morn - city tour... Wats new rite? Went to Hundertwasser Village which is supposed to be some artistic village =p Nice place to take pics since everywhere is colorful =D Went to a few buildings before reaching Schonbrunn Palace. OK the palace was... rather nicely decorated. There are all sorts of designs there. There is 1 room with white walls and gold decorations; very nice maybe I can consider for my future house hahah... If I marry a rich bloke bah. There is this room with chinese deco. Wow didnt know Chinese influence was in Austria so long ago. And there is Indian deco too. And there is this room which is all black cuz Maria Therese likes black after her husband died. After the city tour, I asked the tour guide why is it in EE all the cars on the headlights in broad daylight; then he replied saying cuz it was e law once; so I asked why such a law; he replied ppl forget that its no longer the law so they cont switching on the headlights. Didnt seem to answer my qn eh. Oh well... he doesnt seem to be keen on taking tis group for tour tho he does hav an interesting sense of humour. OK end of city tour = shopping time at Stephansplatz! hahah Lunch at some marche like place where ketchup is charged at 0.60 Euro per packet. *roll eyes* There are fashion shops like Zara, mango and a H&M something similar to Topshop. I saw a pink and purple heels here but dun have my size. Saded =( Anyway, I bought mainly food here. hahah... There is this Manners wafer which is supposed to be famous n cannot be found in spore so I just go in and grab 2 packs and go. =p Along the way to Budapest, our tour bus stopped at 7111 Parndorf ie factory outlet ie more shopping! haha.. The only things I bought there are from Mango: Jeans at 9.90 Euro, top at 11.99 Euro, bling earrings at 2.99 Euro =D Nearby there is a sunflower patch bu I didnt go over cuz i dun wanna cross a highway. 1 fren did though. U can refer to prawn's camera album. =D quite nice. OK. then we proceed to our hungarian folklore dinner. The soup is abit spicy hot which comes as a surprise cuz i very long nvr taste spicy in EE. then the meat is cooked with some creamy stuff and comes with butter rice. All in all, not a bad meal. There are dancing n singing after the meal too. The dancing and singing are rather entertaining. haha! the lady singer and female dancers keep going to kajiao this old man and the male dancers will go flex their arms at the old man. Then the male dancers keep kissing 1 lady in our tour group. haha then they even got some of us up there to dance. so all in all entertaining =D a portion is at tour mates' expense la haha... Checked in at Mercure hotel Buda side and it has aircon!!! yeah!!
28/06/2008: Budapest, Hungary
Exchange rate: 1 Forint to S$0.01 (for me due to my usage of Koruna)
Morn-city tour... Getting abit sick of buildings le... hahah oh well... this castle comes with a danube river which is also known as 多恼河. I always tot 多恼河 is a song of a river full of frustrations; nvr tot its really a river bwhahhaha..... Anyway, I tot it has been so hot thruout the whole trip so I wore shorts and there is strong wind so abit cold. Lucky abit only otherwise will curse liao. So after a series of taking pics then its.... lunch time again! Best Chinese meal to date =D maybe cuz I can taste other stuff besides salt bah =p After lunch is cruise along Danube River. Very strong wind s hair keep flying ard so look like crazy woman in most photos. Oh and therr are ppl sun tanning along the river! Some of e females are topless somemore! woohoo~ for the guys la hahha..... Cruise comes with free drink so naturally I choose beer. =D Drank quite a bit of beer there; will I have beer belly? =p hahah After cruise is .... guess? u got it right! Shopping! At Vaci district. Quite a few shops are closed cuz its a wkend. =S No shopping on wkends? Wonder when they shop then? During office hrs? Anyway, lucky for us we walked to this Chain Bridge and there is summer carnival going on ie more souveniors and finger food and cheap beer! muahaha... the things on e chain bridge are rather expensive but oh well last nite in EE le and the atmosphere is so fun so a few of us spend quite a bit hahah also partly to get rid of our Forint =D No point changing back rite? =p oh the food! I bought some starchy stuff which shld be fried starch and taste quite nice hahah. Saw someone eating so just buy then we bought grilled chicken and pork. Chicken is rather hard but the pork is ok. And.... they are salty so whats new right. *Roll eyes* Then prawn bought a cinnamon roll which is baked over charcoal; that tastes nice too! hahah... then we wanted to took cab home, as adviced by tour guide. Flag a cab who told us our hotel is 300m down the road so no need to take cab. So nice of the cab driver hor? So in e end we cont walking haha.... then i walked that chain bridge once through le... so now walk 2nd time lo... hahah the nite view is really quite good.... lightings very nice... tried to take some night shots. oh well... i need a tripod. hahah.... then ard 10pm, we decided to walk back and met a shuai ge!! hahah he look quite young and eager to help and he speaks english! =D tho i think its not his mother tongue. =p so cute.... lucky cab driver dun wanna take us hahah otherwise wun get to meet the cute guy. So sad I didnt take photo w him =( Last nite lo = packing nite haha... Fren asked if i will be done packing by the time she finish bathing. I did finish and with time spare to read book. hahah frenz say my luggage so small sure hard to pack. Oh well, I m good. What can i say. *preens* hahha... anyway, all the things i packed in arrived 1 piece in Spore! Think the baggage handlers stop throwing luggages le =p Was quite worried abt the beer in the luggage =D
29/06/2008: Budapest, Hungary -> Bratislava, Slovakia -> Vienna, Austria
Home sweet home day! hahah but whole tour group agreed to pay 20 Euro to stop by Bratislava since we got quite a bit of time before departure. Take pics haha... last min scrambling for souveniors! =D best part of this portion is the cone pizza! haha I saw the nutella when we walked past it the first time so when we decide to get food there, I bought the nutella wan and its damn nice la! I had misgivings during the making of thing cuz the crust looks thick but it turns out to be crispy n nice! So I decided to go in and buy a savoury one: Tuna! Tried to tell her to add mushroom but she dun understand. She did show me onions and dunno what but they are not mushrooms so I told her nm hahah.. The last coned pic is taken by her =D. THe nutella one cost 1.60 Euro while the tuna one cost 2.30 Euro hahah.... Maybe can import into Spore? Wierd lei only see it there =p okok rush for bus to go Vienna Airport le. Some more shopping area there. Frenz were buying this chocolates named Giotto; It comes in packs of 4 with each pack weighing 38.7g and its cost 5.30 Euro. I asked my frenz whats so special. They say cheap. I ask spore have and they say have in Candy Empire. So i decided that I dont believe they will sell this thing more than S$15 at Candy Empire. Candy Empire sells this at S$13.90; Vienna airport sells at S$11.20 after conversion. Dont think the price difference justify the carrying ard of fragile items =p But this chocolate is frm Germany so maybe Germany will sell it much cheaper. Anyway, things at Vienna airport is rather overpriced so avoid buying there if possible. ok! on to plane and we reached Istanbul near to the start of Euro Cup 2008 finals! Exciting hor? Alot of ppl watching in transit hahah then we accidentally blocked some ppl so they not very happy. But we didnt get to watch finish then board plane le. sad for the rest =p they dunno e results until touch down in spore at 1525hr on 30/06/2008
Summary
- Its hot hot hot.
- Food is very salty
- Electric plugs there uses the round 2 pins so for those of us with 2 pin chargers can use directly w/o adapter
- Mineral water range from S$0.70/1.5 litre to S$5.00/1.5 litre
- They have gassy mineral water over there. Tastes rather weird cuz I bought 1 bottle there. Keywords to look for is Still, Neogazowana (Polish) erm... forgot the rest hahah
- Think best time would be to go in spring bah where temp is ard 18-20 so that u wun sweat so much when u walk/run to take pics
- For those countries which have their own currencies, its ok to pay in Euros too. Conversion rate is normally ard exchange rate.
- Oh ya most frequent asked qn - Which city/country I like best? Ans: errr... tuff fight between Dresden, Germany and Prague, Czech. Both are nice. hahah...
- Travelling between countries do not require going down and stamp ur passport so it dun seem like travelling across country. It felt that EU is 1 big country hahah... maybe it will become that way? =p
- Hotel rooms really dun have bedroom slippers and kettles
- Buildings are really beautiful and quite amazing that they can preserve till now but as the tour goes by.... I just got sick of it guess I am not a very architecture person haha.... Prefer a good mix bah like my Japan trip last yr where there r nice sceneries; nice buildings; good shopping. I am greedy. I want a trip w alot of objectives haha
- BTW, do you know Czechoslovakia no longer exists? They split into Czech and Slovakia in 1993. =p I didnt know until tis trip =D
- EE shoes are very ex. Average pair range from 50 to 70 Euro and they are not very nice. I am so happy we have URS and Charles and Keith here. haha...

Then after that took cab home. Once i got on cab, i close my eyes n doze off then just when reaching home n i open eyes then i feel like puking again. hahahah lucky my frenz prepared plastic bag for me. So just as I was paying taxi uncle, i was puking out my dinner.

- ooh then bathrm will be installed with sound system.... Maybe Bose or Nakamichi? B&O is out since it seems to spoil quite easily.... at least my current house wan does. Oh ya... talking of sound system.... the console should be inside my bedroom bah... with a audio cable out so that I can plug in my laptop/mp3 player/any external music playing device =D
