London Trip

Ppl alwayz read my blog surely know i've been to london for several times edi but still haven got time to explore it.. Sad.. but wif my little brother around, I actually managed to visit most of the top attractions in a 3-days trip over there! ^^ Madame Tussauds, Natural History Museum, Emirates Stadium, Westminister, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London n even Sherlock Holmes Museum.. Actually we did go to both London Eye n London Dungeon, but 'thks' to the big queue n expensive entry tickets, we din get in.. T.T anyway, our schedule was quite tight to be honest.. I think if u seriously wanna enjoy London, u would probably nid one whole week to do it.. ^^

We lived in a 2-star hotel at Earl's Court, cost us 88 pound for 2 nites (seriously expensive.. T_T). Not luxurious, but still they got the basic stuff we needed: our own bathroom, tv n fresh towels! We kicked off our trip with Tower of London. We din even know wat so special about that place b4 we went there. It was a palace, fortress n a prison of England. It is now a museum in the central of London wif lotz of Yeomen Wardens guarding it. Guarding wat? All the crowns of kings n queens are stored in there! All the families of Wardens lives there. Yeomen Wardens are also called the 'Beefeater', working as tour guides other than guarding the jewels. Jewels n Crowns? We saw them, n of course, we weren't allowed to take pics! Dun forget it was a prison as well, so many ppl were executed here....

a Beefeater, Yeomen Warden

Since it was a fortress, cannons could be seen everywhere.

Houses of Wardens' n Governor's family. The queens lived here in early ages.

Armoury! They could be seen everywhere so i'm not going to bored u wif them.. ^^

the model of Tower of London in early ages.. @@

A teddy-bear version of the Warden! Huge 1.

I'm sure of every1 heard of London Bridge. but b4 i came here I was confused wif tower bridge n london bridge as i tot the beautiful Tower bridge was London Bridge. Confused? haha. Anyway, i was quite fortunate to c the bridge to open n close as we walked out form Tower of London. Video taken of course!



After that, we went to the famous n scary London Dungeon. Unfortunately there were so many ppl lining up for it n it was almost the closing time.. T_T So we juz gave up n headed to our next destination: St. Paul Cathedral. It was the one of the most famous cathedral in Europe, but still my bro got absolute no interest in it. @@ Therefore we left there after juz half n hour.

The huge n famous church in London, St. Paul Cathedral.

Then, we head on to the top attraction of London: London Eye! T_T, still, my bro din like juz wasted 20 pound per person juz to have a look of London. @@ We walked around it b4 went across the London Bridge to see the famous Big Ben!

London Eye..

View from bottom.. ^^ din get on board.. haih..

View of Westminister building n Big Ben from London Bridge.

That all the places we went for the 1st day. As for our dinner, we of course went to the london's famous roast duck restaurant: Four Season, located at Bayswater. We both had our most satisfied ever roast duck meal there after half an hour of waiting outside.. T_T

Next day 10am in the morning, we went to Natural History Museum, the famous local museum which my bro quite interested in. Dinosaurs fossils, animals, nature, everything about science could be seen n learnt in the museum. It was seriously huge, took us about 3 hours to walk thru it.. @@ Erm, i dun really remember all those dinosaurs n animals' name.. so juz lotz of pic dun have description! Anyway, there was a moving T-Rex model in the Dinosaur section, quite amazing! Again, i videoed it! ^^ It was so real!

Natural History Museum


The Main Hall. Impressive huh?

A mammoth.. ^^ At least i remember this!

Triceratops!

T-Rex!

Saber tooth Tiger! ^^


After the Dinosaur section, we headed on to the Mammals' part of the building. Of course, the most attractive part of it was the model of the biggest mammals ever on earth: Blue Whale! ^^

Blue Whale

Seadog, or ppl said 'Mermaid'..

View from 1st floor. impressive? ^^

Cute? hehe..

There were nothing else special there other than stuff about science n earth. Anyway we were quite happy to have come here as it wasn't in our plan initially! ^^

Cool? thatz the Earth section.

After the museum, I visited Qiting who lived juz nearby. Then our next stop was, Bakers Street!
Haha, every1 that knows Sherlock Holmes muz have known wat sort of place it is. Yeap, that was the street where the world most famous detective lived. ^^ We of course visited his house of course, which ppl said that its address is the world most famous address: 221b, Bakers street, London, UK. @@ but still i neva heard of it b4 i went! ^^ The house was rebuilt n decorated as exactly same as what u would read in the novels of Sir Conan Doyle.

The Underground Station.. ^^

Statue of the famous detective.. ^^

His clothes..^^

'Dr Watson' n my bro in the living room

His famous equipments.

After that, we went to the nearby wax museum, the world famous Madame Tussaud! ^^ FOr those who dunno wat it is, there were lots n lots of wax celebrities in there ready for us to take photos wif. Though they were all wax, they looked incredibly real! but to be honest there were not much light so i couldn't take good quality pics wif my n73.. T_T sad..

Albert Einstein!

Beatles!

Beckham n Owen! ^^

Beckham n Posh! ^^

Me, as the representative of UN, i... ^^

Here comes the Ghost Rider~~

Thatz me! wahahaha

Pope John Paul II!

Wahaha! Jose.. :p sao pei lo! ^^

Spiderman! ^^

Will Smith

Jolie n Brad Pitt.. too many ppl.. T.T

Nelson Mandela!

It was such a nice experience to be in there. Haha, it would be much nicer if there were no ppl in there fighting wif us to take photos.. ^^ After that, i took my bro to the famous shopping street of London: Oxford Street! ^^ bought some souvenirs of course, n we went into the largest toy store in London, Hamleys. Then we had our dinner at China Town, b4 heading back to our hotel.

The popular shopping mall of London, Selfridges

Hamleys, on the left.. ^^

For the last day of our trip, we had some Krispy Kreme doughnuts as our breakfast at Harrords b4 headed to Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives. There were so many ppl over there at noon as the famous event 'changing of guard' was going on at that moment. As my bro wasn't that interested, we then went to the 'most important' place of all, Emirates Stadium!

Outside the Buckingham Palace

Wahaha, u know wat? we actually got the Arsenal v Bolton tickets! ^^ in fact my bro is an arsenal fan. though we onli managed to get the Bolton side tickets, we were quite happy to have actually got in the Arsenal new home n watch a live match! But the most important thing of all, Arsenal won that day! My bro was damn happy about it!

Wondering where's the memorable Highbury? it was being demolished.. sad..

Here u r, Emirates Stadium!

Inside the stadium.. huge 1 to be honest...

Crowded!

The Scoreboard

Gogogo!

Awww, Ljungberg missed it!

After the match we actually rushed to the airport. I almost missed the train back to sheffield as well! ^^ anyway, it was a thoroughly satisfying trip to be honest. Hope u guys got the chance to experience it as well! ^^

Alton Towers + Chatsworth

My brother actually came here to pay a visit! He has now gone back to Malaysia n i think me n my elder bro did give him a great time here.. ^^

Letting him to experience the local culture here was the main thing other than bringing him to those top attractions in Sheffield n London ^^ Honestly i've not been to those places b4 he came! haha, so my elder bro actually planned a 2-weeks holiday around Sheffield n London for me n my bro!

Alton Towers n Chatsworth were the 2 places we visited b4 going to London.. Alton Towers was actually one of the most famous theme parks in UK. Located near Sheffield, we went there for a day trip n tried most of the stuff over there, including all those crazy roller coaster of course! ^^ Air, Nemesis, Oblivion were the names of those extreme ride in the theme park. We did get on some water ride which made us really wet! T.T Here's a clip showing u how crazy the 'Oblivion' was.. ^^


Nothing much else to say about the theme park. Coz u juz have to experience them urself! no point taking picture showing u! haha


Chatsworth

Guess watz Chatsworth? a big country house! haha, actually it was so huge n royal, ppl from all around the country would pay the money to get in! It is also quite famous wif the big garden surrounding it.. It muz be a damn rich guy like Bill Gates to live in it! ^^ coz i could not see the whole garden in a look n i needed a whole day to juz walk through it! ^^

juz one of the rooms of 126.. over 100 rooms weren't allowed to be seen by the visitors ^^

Wat a hall!

View of garden from the house

The 3d wood version of the famous 'The Last Supper'! Dun touch plz! ^^

A great collection of.. Key! @@

The dining room.. as noble as expected..

Ok, now we're outside the house edi. The whole garden actually took us hours to walk through.. it got a small maze garden, but the whole garden itself was already a big maze! walking through it without a map would be quite silly .. ^^

The fountain.. u actually saw it in one of the pic above!

A maze in the garden.. @@ thatz wat super rich ppl always build i suppose.. ^^

We were lost! ^^

Ermm.. juz trees like another part of the garden.. ^^

Pond.. wif ducks on it.. ^^

The view of the house from the garden..

Ever seen chickens this big? There were actually 'hiding' in a bush!

A duck that din scare of ppl! posing summore.. @@

Chatsworth is not a place full of excitements, but still it's definitely a place for relaxation. Take a day out wif the whole family here would be quite nice especially during spring time. Just glad to have visited here . ^^

Italy (Rome & Naples)

Rome

Hehe.. sry ar if some1 like kenseong waiting so long for updates.. no excuse, juz being lazy recently! holiday ma, plus my little bro came to visit me so far away from Malaysia, kept me bz for a while edi.. anyway, im going to London tml for another 3 days wif my bro! haha, so faster update 1st b4 i ciaoz!

Italy was fun of course. Me went there along wif my 3 best buddies here: William, Eric n Paul. We juz went to 2 places, which were Rome n Naples. We were trying to get to Piza or Venice but the two places are too far away from rome for us to travel there.. coz we juz wanted our trip to be short n relaxing, without any long n tiring journey..

As for the whole trip, we juz on our own to deal wif everything: accommodation, transports, entry tickets, food & stuff like that. Sometimes we were so frustrated wif it but eventually we managed to make our holiday quite a success, especially no1 got mugged! ^^

Other than taking lotz of pic, i had a 'Gelato' almost each day i'd been there. Wondering watz that? haha, thatz 'ice-cream' in italian! of course, we also had lotz n lotz of pizza n spaghetti over there lo.. haih, for the whole week there i spent more than 300 pound edi.. summore said its a budget trip... T.T

Olitti.. one of the famous Gelato shops in Rome..

We arrived at Rome firstly, stayed in a hostel called 'Roma Inn'. Got breakfast n bed thatz it! haha, to make the matter worse, the hostel was under renovation! T.T summore our room din have a door! nvm la, luckily still got internet n knew a few frenz over there.. ^^ cost us about 15 euro a nite..

As we were staying near the Coliseum, or ppl say 'Colosseum', it became our 1st destination. There were so many ppl over there as we expected. For the 1st visit, we din get in the Coliseum. We juz walked around it, took some pic thatz it. Haha, the funny thing was, my fren Paul, he got himself a pair of cool sunglasses for 4 euro instead of 25 initially! haha, this taught us not to buy stuff from street venders over there coz normally u would kena tipu 1! ^^

We did actually go into the Coliseum for the 2nd visit. Cost us 11 euro ler! worth it? almost onli.. T.T

One of the 7 wonders of the world.. Coliseum!

another cool side of it!

I'm in there!

Not alone of course! Eric(top) n Paul

View from inside..

See the underground? There was the place where the slaves n animals like lions were kept..

Group pic!

I told u guys I went there twice rite? coz basically we went back to Rome after staying at Naples for 3 nites. So in details, for sum1 wanna know: 2 days Rome, 3 days Naples then 3 days back at Rome! ^^

We had our 1st meal at Rome n guess wat? Only pizzas for 4 of us of course! wahaha.. they think its far better than any other pizza in the world but for me, its still the same! hehe..


Yam yam!

Actually we were quite lucky to be there at that time coz the Pope was there at Rome as well! He was giving a talk at St. Peter's Basilica, possibly the largest church of Christianity! We actually went there on the 2nd day n were quite surprised to see the Pope there! Seriously the whole building was sooo big n i took a video of it to show to u guys! U actually can hear the Pope talking!




St. Peter's Basilica.. Totally crowded at the front of it!

In front of it.. Christian representatives from lots of countries were there!

There were lotz of places there worth going that i dun think u guys would neva know about them until u've been there such as Trevi Fountain, Palatino, Piazza del Popolo, Castle St. Angelo n Vatican Museum. but I think some of u would know about Vatican City. It is in fact a country within rome. Yeap, it is the smallest independent nation exists in the whole world. ^^

Piazza di Giustizia

Trinita dei Monti.. many ppl gather here to relax.. we actually saw sunset there!

Castle St. Angelo..

Arco di Costantino!

The beatiful Trevi Fountain.. Threw a coin into it wif a wish.. ^^ Paul told me if u threw euro in they would keep it.. but foreign coins would be given to charity.. ^^

The statue of Liberty!

Let me go on wif the top attraction of Rome.. Vatican Museum! Gud experience there.. queuing experience! haha, juz kidd la.. but try to guess how long i'd queued to the entrance of the museum? 3 hours! shit.. from 10am to 1pm.. wth! worth it la.. think so.. inside? its all about arts, especially those from the famous artist Michelangelo! Have u ever heard of Sistine Chapel? It was total decorated by him n the official residence of Pope! haha.. wasn't allowed to take pics there but still lots of ppl did that.. here are some of other sites of the museum.. ^^

Very long queue!

Finally! the entrance after 3 hours of queuing!


Throughout the museum brilliant artworks not onli could be seen on the walls,

but also the roof, and..

Floor! haih.. but after a long queue to be honest I was too tired to enjoy watz in there.. T.T

My fren actually took a pic of the famous roof of the Sistine Chapel.. appreciate.. ^^ u can call it.. 'The Forbidden Picture' ^^

I think i betta finish all the stuff at Rome b4 i proceed to Naples.. ^^ ok letz continue wif ar.. Ruins! haha, there were so many of it within Rome ler.. juz felt like taking picture of them every single time i saw a new 1! ^^ ok la.. i juz post a few of them onli lo..


One more gud thing about Rome is.. u dun nid to worry about water! Natural drinking water pipe could be found anywhere in the city but im still buying normal drinking water from shops. Know y? As water could be gained for free, the mineral water bottles were so cheap till about 50 cent euro for a 2 liter of water! ^^ but honestly i wasn't so sure about the quality of the free water outside..

Free drinking water! ^^

Any1 interested in cool buildings? i got 2 more here: Pantheon of Rome n the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II! haha, wat a long name! here's the pics:

Pantheon.. the coolest ancient temple i've ever seen.. ^^

Met our course mates over there! Wat a coincidence..


The Monument to bla bla bla... ^^ quite cool to be honest!

We actually saw an exhibition of 'Trash People' at Rome! Quite lucky again ^^ Coz it was within the 7 days of public display for Italy. Its about care for the nature n dun make so much rubbish! haha. though u may not be interested, i'll juz put a couple of pictures on.. it actually been to lotz of famous places such as Great Wall of China, La Defence of Paris, Cario etc.. ^^


Naples

Here comes the Naples! hehe.. top attraction, though i heard crime rate there was quite high! be careful if u wanna travel there.. anyway, they are famous of.. Coasts n Volcano! haha, thatz the interesting part! Visited Pompeii, the victim city of the Volcano Vesuvius, n of course the volcano! Went to the city center of Naples n Amalfi Coast, the famous local coast.. ^^

Cool castle in Naples.. though i've forgotted its name.. ^^

Cool shopping mall.. name? forgotten as well!

Talking about Pompeii, its all about ruins! haha, after the city had been struck n buried by volcano in AD 79, the archaeologist managed to dig it out n display the whole destructed ancient city to the public. ^^ Here's the pics..

Thats one of the ppl who couldn't escape.. Respect paid.. pity..

Here goes the volcano! Haha, the Vesuvius Volcano! n the fun part was, its active! ^^ We went to the very top of it! hehe.

Climbing up to the top.. Tiring!

Here i am! the crater of the volcano!

Looking down into it.. ^^

I was watching this! haha

Opps.. Smoke's coming out!

Relax.. Cheese!

The Amalfi Coast ar.. nothing special there to be honest.. fisherman area.. beautiful coast wif some stone beaches.. ^^ lots of houses there too! We bought a few local lemon wine! around 30%.. n i bought 4! c who'll get it la.. coz i wun drink it ^^

The beautiful coast of Amalfi

Here we are on a stone beach! ^^

Fish boats! rainy over there.. T.T

Nice scene? haha, would be nice to live up there for a short period..

I had been enjoying throughout the trip though kena tricked a few times.. not a smart ppl i was i must admit.. ^^ lost some money bcoz of my stupidity! haih.. anyway, we knew some new ppl over there which i was quite happy about.. Alex from UK, Laura n Janet from Texas.. ^^ nice meeting them!

Alex (second from left) had been traveling across Europe! ^^ we were in an Irish Bar in Rome..

Easter!

Here comes the SPRING! wahaha.. now im at Naples, staying in a hostels enjoying my Easter holidays! i think most of the hostel in italy nowadays got free internet service.. n im using it! ^^ hehe.. will tell u guys about the trip of rome n naples in details when im back to UK ^^ ciaoz


Manchester X 3

Haha, yeap, visited manchester 3 times within a month.. This time was the Man U vs Europe XI lo.. haih, actually that match was quite disappointing coz all the brasilian star such as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Juninho din show up that nite as expected. Instead, a few Bolton stars was invited to the match which I think disappointed the crowd with high expectation. Though Beckham was injured, he still showed up during half time, making all the gals spectators had something else to cheer other than the match.

I watched the match wif my buddies from Birmingham. They all though have been in UK for more than half a year edi, they din travel much around UK. So this match was also the first football match they ever watched live in the stadium. They were quite excited b4 the match but of course they were also disappointed by the absence of the superstars.

Chun Yap bought the MU v Euro XI T-Shirt from the MU official shop..

1st time ever watching football at Old Trafford!

Superstars were warming up b4 the match.. Can u c Steven Gerrard in there? I was watching at him all the time! ^^

The match begins!

Beckham interviewed during half time.. I can still recognize which 1 is him, can u?

Manchester X 2

Yeap, within the last 2 weeks I went to Manchester twice! hehe, bcoz got free train ticket ma.. my fren William alwayz like surfing around the internet looking for free stuff. About a month ago he got each of us free trips to Manchester n Liverpool! hehe, thks to him, me, Eric n Paul got the chance to withdraw ourselves from the boring study life n travelling around relax relax..

Noticed the missing 'Liverpool' trip? Yeap, the free ticket was to Liverpool needed us to change the train at Manchester n we missed it. So we just stay at Manchester for the second time since the last week. T_T

Since our trips were on Wednesdays, which were still within normal study days, our time was quite limited. Therefore we just gave up on the Liverpool trip, staying at manchester going around the places we had neva been.

For both visits we went to a famous Chinese restaurant, 'Tai Hu', to have our lunch. Actually we din do much thing.. juz going around some stores buying things we needed.. I had managed to take some Old Trafford pictures as well for the United fans! hehe, so gud ler me, im a liverpool fan lo.. ^^

Dim Sum at 'Tai Hu' of Manchester

View of Old Trafford from across a river

Tram station of Manchester.. got grass ler!

On my 2nd visit, seriously strong wind was blowing till some of the roof were blown away! (that kind of atap house 1 la.. ) you know? there was a huge piece of it dropped juz 12 yard away from me! As the wind was blowing me, I was running so fast b4 i was able to slow down n the roof dropped in front of me just seconds later. If i wouldn't have stopped I would definitely be hit n got injured seriously edi.. lucky me! ^^

Haih.. anyway, my life here is getting boring recently.. luckily there is a great football match coming soon: Man Utd vs Euro XI! thatz man utd vs european allstar team! got ronaldinho, gerrard, larsson etc. syok syok! will be there wif lotz of frenz.. pals from birmingham, london n my classmates, they all will be there. I'll be sitting wif my frenz from birmingham la.. long time no c edi ma.. :p looking forward to this match.. ^^

Bulgaria.. (NOT Switzerland.. T.T)

Yeap, i must admit that i had made a big mistake.. from the moment I heard about 'skiing', i think i only had 'Switzerland' in my mind.. neva tot of any other countries.. haih.. paise, my knowledge is quite limited.. have to read more edi.. T.T

Anyway, firstly I am here wishing u guys a very Happy Chinese New Year! 2 days have gone, got lotz of ang pow edi? haha, hope u did la! Had my first Chinese New year at England.. wasn't that bad after all coz me n my frenz here had our very own self-made steamboat! haha, without any steamboat stove around, wondering how we did it? Yeap, we used 2 rice cookers as the replacement! It turned out a very good Chinese New Year Eve dinner anyway, though got no ang pow.. T.T


Pretty nice steamboat meal rite? ^^

Ok la, back to my skiing... ^^ Skiing at Bulgaria in fact is far more cheaper than Switzerland and yet the fun is still there! I would recommend u guys to go bulgaria if u got not much money to spend n still wanna enjoy skiing.. If u r rich then go Switzerland la! it's like 1st class flight n economy class if u wanna compare.. ^^

Before I went to Bulgaria, I visited my old classmates, Keok, at London. He treated me nicely, bringing me around city center and I appreciate it very much.. coz though I've been to London a few times edi, I had little chance to visit the places I should have visited.. Anyway, although with only 2 hours, he walked me through his school, LSE, going around city center, China Town (where we had our dinner) n some 'quite popular' spots of London... (I've forgotten them all.. paise.. T_T)
London School of Economy.. Keok's School..

Me at China Town of London! (perhaps u saw me at the one of Manchester in the previous post.. ^^)

My flight to Bulgaria was on 3rd Feb.. together with my sis's bf, Rob, n an English-Malaysian couple, Tom & Serena (a Malaysian gal, juz like my sis!), we reached Sofia, capital city of Bulgaria, after 2 and a half hour flight.. ^^, the time over there was 2 hours later compare to UK time.. so it was juz half an hour difference between departure n arrival!

On the next day, we started our ski lesson! It was snowing heavily on the 1st day of my skiing.. (nice!) neva c that much snow ever in my life! together with Tom n Serena, we entered the Beginner's group.. Rob went here before, so he was assigned to an advanced group.. Since I was sooo looking forward to these, I was like almost could absorb everything my ski teacher, Valin, taught me! Just after 3 days, I became a pretty gud skiier n I even went on to try the intermediate slope myself! ^^ before I further describe, I think I better explain a little bit about the levels of the slopes 1st..

There are 4 different classes of slopes, Beginners (Green), Intermediate (Blue), Advanced (Red) and Expert (Black).. The beginners group could neva try on the Red 1 based on the rules.. But since we seemed quite talented, Valin brought us to the easy Red on the last day of out lesson! hehe.. through him, I've learned Snowplow position to stop and turn. To be even cooler, I've also learned parallel skiing and parallel stop! hehe, pretty fast learner I was.. ^^

1st day of Skiing! heavy snow going on!

Serena skiing! nice control.. ^^

Her boyfren, Tom. Say Cheese!

As it snowed just on the 1st day, most of the places became so icy on the days after especially those corners.. Therefore we went up to the highest mountain of all, MASULA, 3000 meter above the sea level. By a kind of cable car called 'Gondola', it would take about 20 minutes to reach the top.

Drag Lift.. for short distance.. ^^ longer distance: Chair Lift & 'Gondola'

Condition up there wasn't good at the first time we went up there.. it was too windy that we have to go down with chair lift as the cable car was too dangerous to be used.. The second time was pretty good n we all had a very good time skiing there.. ^^

Here are some nice views over there.. ^^


At the fourth nite, the ski company there organized a Ski Instructor Show which we witnessed most of our instructors performed some great stunts, even a five-year-old child was in it! For more excitement, fireworks were going on as well. It would cost us 20 Lev to get in (1 pound = 3 Lev) if we din get in an hour b4 the show began.. I did take some video clips of some ski jumps for u guys! here's one of them:


The boy skiing down in the video was the 5-year-old kid! unbelievable?

Skiing is undeniably one of the extreme sports that not all people are meant to do.. After just 3 days of lesson, 5 left the group of 12 to join the easier 1.. On the last day, there were only 4 of us left in the group, trying on the Red slopes.. Anyway, it was indeed a very incredible week. Though it cost me a week of lectures, I think it definitely worth it. It was a lifetime experience that I'll neva forget.. Knowing some good frenz like Craig from Derby, 2 Chris, Mikey, Lee, Tom, Serena was an extra bonus I've got through this wonderful trip.

Fall-down King, Mikey! He doesn't look like 14, does he?

His 16-year-old brother, Chris.. a pretty nice lad he was!

Lee on the left.. we were waiting for others.. ^^

Another Chris (Lee's fren) who liked to talk like Borat! 'High five!'

We had a party on the last day! Certificates were given.. From left: Serena, Chris n Mikey

Group picture taken b4 the Ski Show! From left: Tom, Serena n Rob.. Missing me? here u go

Bad posing.. T.T

The whole trip cost per person 350 pound.. n luckily I needed not to pay a penny! still, I think I would have paid for it even if I needed to.. I felt like wanna stay there for as long as I could bcoz it would take a whole year for me to ski again.. Haih.. I think I have to start saving some money edi for another trip like this next year.. mayb do some part time too! ^^


Q: What is so nice about Bulgaria other than skiing?
A: Alcohol n cigarettes there were very cheap.. Bars everywhere, food were good n.. some erotic bars around! (though I din get in..)

p/s: Ever seen a paternoster lift? I din even noe it exists b4 I saw it! It's in my Uni's Art Tower.. ^^

Wahaha.. that was my sis's trip actually. Since she got personal things to deal with in UK, I took over her place! Canceling the trip would be such a waste rite? Since I always moaning about life without snow n neva been to Switzerland b4, I think it will turn out to be a quite interesting trip for me.. ^^

Actually my 2nd sem will start next Monday lo. Haih, got free trip wor.. who cares rite? Switzerland summore.. thinking of sking, looking for swiss choc n watch oso canot tahan edi la..^^ Just hoping I will learn the skills fast n dun fall down too much can edi lo.... hehe

Kept me bz for the nite b4 my final test.. T.T
