Hi pple!!!

Tübingen

On Saturday we went out of Stuttgart to Tübingen!!!! Cos too long in Stuttgart realli makes me bored! ahahaha.... so we were on the train on our way there and everyone looks realli excited!!
I wanted to take a candid shot of everyone but too bad i wasnt stealth enough and was caught by Alycia when i was about to snap on the camera. sobz~



Marcela was very excited today as she got herself a new camera and a STAND which can hold the camera in position at anywhere any position..... See!!! She is posing next to it like an advertisement in a magazine lolx!! Yeah see it? that spider looking legs


Here we are at Tübingen~~ some scenery shots~~ First we went to the old university castle where a museum is.



The way up to the Uni castle is a long uphill walk~~ For a fat boy i went up fast....well i consider that cos i was jus in time to take a picture of the rest strolling up hahahaha!!!!




Here is Jordan from the States~~ A playful guy....serious when he works (i think) He is considered the lao jiao here cos he has been staying here since last year....




Next we went into the castle through the side stairway~~ and though a tunnel where we appear in the centre of the castle~~ And right away!! A photo request from Qiling~~ sobz~~~ hahaha




I notice a difference in the height of the different doors and took this chance to take a picture with alycia..... A door custom made for you hahah how nice~~ lolx.... i hope she is not angry about it~~ lolx



Next we went out of the castle and took a few photos again~~~ how grand~~ in Germany there are lots of castle this is not the ZAI one...if i have a chance maybe i will visit one but unfortunately i am not much of a castle fan hahahah




I spend 3 Euros to enter the museum..... not much to see except for some ancient cockery and skulpturs~~~




We were all hungry by then and at the same time we all misses singaporean food!!!! So we decided to spend alittle more and eat at the asian shop!! hahaha i have been there once and now i am recommending the place to my frens!! The owner got to know from us that i brought them here so i was given a treat~~ onli on the drinks....so my China Tsing Dao Beer 2 Euros is FREE!! WHAHAHAHA better than nothing mah..... This is wad i ate!!! gong bau beef and wan tan soup!!



Their chicken rice.....not too bad but i prefer the tomato fried rice more...



After a heavy meal, we went to the Rittersport Chocolate factory here and bought alot of chocolates!!! in singapore it cos like 2 dollars plus 3 dollars? Here its onli 50 cents euro!!! hahaha how worth it rite!!! Lucky i am not a chocolate fan if not i will be bankrupt before i leave here.



A memorial photo before we leave~~ Its a memory becos i am the photographer here =(

Horsie & Shi Sha

I walked out of my hostel today and i was shock to see a horse...a big white horse behind my block~~ Well its realli a weird place to have one rite~~ we were all excited and wanted to pat it on the head and take pictures!! I dunno where the horses come from but i have seen pple riding horses around near my hostel~~ probably there is a stable or a farm nearby =) i should check it out!!!



Another cooking session~~~ i tried to make salmon!!!!! hahaha the marinated kind!!! well it turns out not too bad though~~ at least i realli like it... WE realli like it!!!

After a full meal~~~ its time to sit down chill, have a cold bottle of beer and SHI SHA!!!!!! Marcela's housemate who comes from saudi arabia has the shi sha apparatus in his room!!! Lolx!!!! Apple flavour, strawberry or grape!!! hahahah Here in stuttgart i could SHI SHA for free~~~ hahahah

The Singa-trio hahah~ jus some random picture... and i think i realli drink alot that night but i am okay cos i remember everything i have done the night before =) i have to control myself here cos i am far away from my secondary home - NUH and the hospital and clinics are not open 24hours so yeh....i have to be careful!!! lolx....


We all were having alot of fun and we starting to take alot of pictures....sometimes i would request some other pple to take a group picture of us.... and that is when i realise someone is totally drunk!!!! I realised this after i saw the photo he took......


Welll...... thx man....appreciate the effort though.....i could see how hard he try to capture all of us in the picture..... dotz..... anyway parties are so often here that i have to forego some off them.....they party like crazy maybe cos school hasnt start yet lolx.....well it onli begins on the 20th April......hahahah when chris finished his SEP in England i haven start school lolx~~~

We bid goodbye to Alexis and we went back to our rooms to sleep as we have going on a trip the next day to Freiburg. JUST before we board the train, our singaporean craving for picture taking starts again.....HERE WE GO!!!!!!!



Now we have upgrade ourselves to the Singa-quatro - Zollin our new member~~ My VOICES members he is oso Rayner's gay buddy....

P.S : Rayner if you see this post jus wanna let you know that we are bitching about you....OFTEN....

The trip to Freiburg was miserable.....4 hours..... should have brought my IPOD along man...... After we arrived at Freiburg, we decided to eat first before going to Titisee not far away from the main station (about half hour train ride.... yeah its not far away cos its relative to the 4 hours one before) We ate at a turkish kebab shop...its realli common here in Germany as most of the immigrants in Germany are from Turkey.... I have some craving for rice so i decided that i should eat the doner with rice.... yummy for 7 Euros lolx


TITISEE!!!!! its the 2nd time i have come here....the last time was 2 years ago but during that time it was summer and the weather was hot and i could roll a boat in the lake!!! I was looking forward to it again but i was disappointed on this very day as the lake was FROZEN!!!! TMD!!!hahahx But anyway the place was HEAVEN still..... cos its WHITE everywhere.... the snow gathered here was so thick and tall its amazing!!! Maybe this will be the last time i see snow hahaha.....


The girls were so amazed that the stayed here for almost 15mins jus taking pictures lolx~~ different positions standing, sitting, lying on the snow etc etc~~


Sad..... the frozen lake which i mention jus now~~ damn sianz.... at least let us ice skate or something hahaha... more pictures


Here is Qiling trying to take pictures with the duckies lolx.....the ducks are realli very tamed and they certainly are not afraid of humans..... maybe becos Europeans are not so abusive towards animals lolx We decided to move on further but we are still near the lake....yeah more PHOTOS

This moment is damn damn sianz for Alycia cos hahah she sat on the duck's poo poo.... *stink* yeah unfortunately its on her white jacket....sobz.... sorry girl i am going to stay away from you for the rest of the day lolx..... Next we took a bus up to Feldburg much higher from the sea level.... the way up is like going up Genting Highlands...so nostalgical!!!! My first DIY photo!!


After 15mins of ride we arrived..... another wave of astonishment hit us..... its close to spring and this place looks like it is still winter.....



This place is an ideal place for skiing and it is famous among the locals here.... pple will drive up here from cities more than 300km away on this very weekend jus to relax and chill here.... why cant singapore life be like this...haiz....the thought of migrating here zoomed past my thoughts =)

ARGH!!!! I wanna SKII but i dun have the right attire!!! DAMN!!! I dun care i am going to come back here next week to skii!!!!! and maybe snowboard too hahahaha!!!! Before we leave the place we decided to chill awhile at the cafe on the snow hill hahahaha~~~~


Its getting late and we have to go back home!!!! DUN REMIND ME cos its another 4 hours plus back home!!!! I so dun feel like going back....sobz!!!!! Took some emo pics before i leave~~ you can use as your wallpaper if you wan to hahahaha!!!


Its a long day and everyone is tired and sad (to leave the place) especially Alycia hehe~~~
