Welcome to the Club 20.

I have been lazy recently, slacking for no purpose, guess I still have some pending posts for my Prague and Regensburg trip. That's what I have promised myself, to keep track of my travel journal.

OK back to the day when I turned 20.

Nopes, the night before I turned 20.

Went down to the bar with my babes.
Heidi, moi, Aida, Kanae, Azusa.

Free shots from Thomas for my birthday, and the shots in Germany are double the size in Australia.


Paupau the Spanish and me. He was such a fun guy that night he joked so much that I almost teared from all the dirty jokes. LOL.


Lizzy my love. Like my top? I like it too :P


Especially the lipstick stain behind.


Yeah me me and me!! I enjoyed myself so much that night and all I could remembered is I danced a lot I laughed a lot. I didn't drink a lot though. Just a shot and a glass of Gluhwein.


What's worse that having to work on your birthday? But well to make myself happy I blew myself some pink balloons with the Nitrogen in the lab. And I was quite surprised that most of the people there wished me Happy Birthday! They knew my birthday!!


Happily with my Advent's Kalandar, its for counting down xmas.


And the tank of n-Hexane that was sent into the lab that morning, yeah for my birthday.LOL


Gotta left home early because we finished work early!


Yeah the calander was from Lizzy, she said then I could have a present each day for a month!


Seth gave me a receipt to claim tickets for New Moon ;) And a Freddo !!

Went to dinner in our favourite restaurant with Heidi and Yee chun afterwards.
It's our fav because we always get special treatments there, haha. Free drinks or free food :)


My awesome birthday dinner! Fried rice, Roasted Duck and Stir fried Prawns! Yummy yumm. And free soup from the kitchen :P It would be even better if my gastric doesn't occur at that particular moment.


Time for the birthday cake! I have been bugging them for NICE CANDLES :P How demanding can I be?? But they were very nice they just said 'It's your bithday! We will do whatever you want!'


Fireworks from the boss, and it's sticking on an apple. I was very amused because we didn't have any preparation for that and uncle just suddenly lit up the fireworks. WOohoo.


Make a wish, make a wish, and it ended up - make a lot of wishes.


Pictures from chun's new camera!! I am so jealous!!!


Snap, view, snap, view, which continued for like 9876031182 minutes.


The chef from the kitchen. Where all the free food comes from.


OK finally after all the camwhoring I am willing to blow out my NICE CANDLES.


Time to kill the cake! That's the only knife big enough in the restaurant. LOL.


Curi . Makan.


Ok I think this pic should come before I cut the cake, but anyway I am lazy to move it up. So you should move your brains a little.



I am lucky to get to know them here. Really lucky.


Free wine from the boss, he says birthday should be alcoholic. OK.



Thanks to all that gave me the awesome gifts.
Chocolates and flowers from Aida and Darja the beloved floormates.
All the made in Japan stuffs from my Jap friends, they came all the way at midnight to give me the presents, and I was in my pyjamas. haha.
And the Mickey mouse key chain from Kanae and Azusa from Paris Disneyland.

Of course, thanks to all those that wished me on Facebook!!!

I heart you all, thanks for remembering my birthday,
or
thanks to Facebook for reminding you all to remember my birthday.

LOL.

I am in the lab now,

surprisingly not excited at all for my 20th birthday tommorow.

Probably all my besties are not here and there is no point of celebration.

Bloody sleepy and bored now,

when can I go home??

And I have a German Test tonight.

Gotta study abit...




Counting down to my 20th.

The Amazing Little Town - Füssen

Füssen

I must say, its a must go for tourists in Germany. It is an important little town which has its extraordinary landscape and the most attractive spot -

Schloss Neuschwanstein (The New Swan Stone Castle)

It toook us almost 4 hours train to get there from Erlangen. We departed at 9 in the morning but most of us were really sleepy and tired,and a little bit awkward especially when we were sitting among a group of FC Bayern Munich "old guys" fans with a bottle of beer in each of their hands as breakfast. Well I shall say: football fans like to drink, and they drink since the morning.



Bored in the train while everyone is sleeping.

We arrive at the Füssen Bahnhof and took a bus to Schwangau where the castle is.





The group of us, Heidi, Aida, and Yee-Chun mit ich, and the little castle from far.
As soon as we stepped foot at Füssen, we heard a lot of American English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, it is a very very tourist place. And all the things are being 'touristfied'. Like I ate a "microwaved" frozen burger which has a diameter of about 7cm and that costed me 2.80. And it is NOT YUMMY at all.


Hohenschwangau. The old castle of King Ludwig II. I didn't went into this one, just kinda walk past befor we took another bus uphill.

We bought a student ticket with an English tour but it was like 2.5 hours later so we decided to just stroll around the Marienbrücke bridge to look at the castle for far, or I shall say the best angle.


Two very cute little girls, especially the one in pink, they posed for me to take pictures :)


This is the view from above the bridge, very very refreshing water flowing, making me feel like jumping into it!


The castle, the sunlight, everything is perfect. (I don't understand why all the tourist attractions that I went to is always ALWAYS under renovation)


Me and It, or It and I, or It and Me? (quoted from Aida)


Us on the bridge!!


And we walked into a narrow little trail in the jungle, and realised that it is not allowed when we came out. Because it looked like a cliff.


What's wrong with my peace? It looks very, weird. Or tourist, I supposed.


OK, much better without me in it. Look at the Autumn leaves and the awesome view of the lake and the Alps!


Some side of the castle.


Meine mitbewohnerin, Aida.


The long missing jumping pose, people were laughing at me, some old people. I guessed they were just envy of me because I can jump that high while they can't. Oh even they can they just can't coordinate themselve into such a perfect double peaces and the red scarf flying in such a perfect way. OK Let's say they can, I don't think they will be in time for the camera man to snap at that precise moment. Because their camera man is gonna have shaky hands and slow coordination, and they don't have a red scarf.

Don't worry I am just crapping.


Supposingly a Heart shape.


On the way to the castle.


At the entrance.


A good view from the castle. Still the lakes, the Alps and the warming sunlight in sucha cold weather. It was between -3 and 3 degrees.





I wanna be a royal family and enjoy the privileges of building my castle around this super awesome landscape.


My dinner. Big portion = Lotsa calories = Will be fat when I am back.


We stayed for a night in this Cosy little hostel called the Hostel L.A House. We booked for three but were given a room for four, and I enjoyed chit-chatting so much with the girls that night.

DAY 2

We strolled around the little town of Füssen the next day. It was a Sunday so most of the shops were closed. Hardly anyone was seen on the streets except for church and some restaurants.


It was a rainy and foggy morning, we walked by this river, it just makes me feel so free, bringing serenity to my troubled mind.


I just can't take my eyes off them. All the sceneries, the awesome creation of mother nature, it's a gift for the people that visit Füssen, seriously.





The three of us. My good friends and travel mates.





Finally Sumo has the chance to come out and take pics again. It is nice to have red leaves crawling on the walls.





Autumn leaves and me - take 1.


Autumn leaves and me - take 2. I have to emphasize, I GOT A CHIN HERE! Probably because of the lack of light, hahaha, and some wrong shadow.





Went to the Stadtmusuem and saw this library. Heidi said she wanted library like this, just like in the Beauty and the Beast. I am gonna built myself a library like this in my palace next time too! and I have to buy a lot of 'nice-looking' books. Yeah, my books are gonna be as vain as me.


Last but not least - the Totentanz, the Dance of Death. It was painted in 1602 by Jakob Hiebeler.Under the motto" Say yes or say no, you must dance", 20 scenes depict various social ranks, led by the pope and the king, dancing with death from whom not even the little child nor the artist himself are spared. A very nice painting and meaningful indeed.

This summarizes my trip to the last stop of the Romantic Road in Germany - Füssen.

I am looking forward to the trip to Prague the day after tommorow!
It's another princess adventure to a new country in Europe.

Another trip to Nürnberg

I went to Nürnberg again 2 days after the previous trip :P
(If you wonder why sometimes I type Nuremberg and sometimes it's Nürnberg, it's because Nuremberg is the name in English while Nürnberg is the name in German)
For shopping, only shopping and eating.
I know, I am crazy, it was like my last days of holidays so I just desperately wanted to go somewhere. And well, I am going to Nürnberg again this Saturday, but it is an excursion :) So hopefully I get to know more of Nuremberg from it's historical and geographical sides, instead of just where to eat and shop! (Well, that's what locals are, haha acting local now)

Ok back to that Saturday morning, there is a Lebküchen(Gingercake) Market. Nürnberg is famous for it's Lebküchen and Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market). So they always have this gingercake market.


Well, I didn't buy any as I am not that big fan of Ginger, and cakes.

When there is no pictures, that means that both of us were really busy shopping.
..
..
..
..

And finally we got really hungry and decided to hunt for something around the market.
We had some crepes, it was super yummy!
Smelled something real good from far, and realised it was this >>


Fried champignons! How awesome is that! Crispy on the outside, juicy inside.


Chun got her fish sandwich, some raw fish marinated with salt and some sweet sauce inside, it was yummy :)


But I am really not that connvinced with their sashimii, it looked like it is going bad any moment you start to eat them.


After some salty bits, I got myself a string of grapes coated in milk chocolate :) They are not as yummy as I have thought, but well it was still yummy.


Vain vain vain, just to show S babe my new boots :) and that's my Zara knit.


Well, and there was this weird old men choir, like sailors. Standing there listening for like 1 minute and left. Old men are not for me, I only want cute guys :P

Lotsa things to share about my experience in labs. I shall update sometime soon :)

Tshüss!

Happy Halloween!

Trick or treat??

I went to my 1st Halloween Party ever yesterday in my dorm, since I live in the party dorm, there is no reason why I should miss this awesome event right!

I had been thinking of a lot alot of costumes and try to shop for some little devil costumes (yeah I wana be slutty) but I don't find any, so at last I have decided that I shall just go with my lab coat and act like a mad scientist or whatever.

Eliza and I bought a tube of fake blood and it looks really real!! Of course, with my superb skills of making fake wounds!! So fake wounds are pretty much easy to make, just buy a tube of fake blood, and stick it with some tissue paper on to the place where you want your wound to be, add some liquid black eyeliner onto some spots of the tissue paper, and now it looks real! But the only advantages is by the end of the night the tissue paper gets quite dry and it will kinda peel off or crack. But it still gives u a very good effect though :)


Dead Ballerina in act! We were trying to make up stories for how we die,and she wants to die of a gun shot, haha.And she sew her own too-too!! How amazing is that?



My room became the room where everyone put their fake blood on.



This is what I was planning to wear before my floormate lend her costume to me.


I zombied her up!! Make up and the wound :) Satisfied with my own work!! Wished we had lips concealer, it will look better!



And that's me!!The Zombie Nun!! Had some blood tears and a wound beside my mouth.
Well I think everyone still wants to be pretty even for Halloween but I think I made myself scary more than pretty!! But I am happy because I won't have a chance to wear this in real life, and it's only for Halloween you don't get people staring at you when you walk on the streets!



The Joker approached me and said " Why don't you smile?", it was so eerie! And I replied "Amen" LOL. We are both very into our characters.


A nun becoming a reaper while a witch is drinking beer, and I have no idea why the camera man looks so happy, haha.

It was really hard for me to talk and laugh as the fake wound dried up. And I was struggling with my expression when I take photos because I don't know whether I should just look scary all the time or what.


But finally I succeeded to smile a little bit,it doesn't look that bad does it? It feels like now I am just a nun working overtime and injured my face..


But if I don't smile, you better not try me.



Groupie pic. The doctor zombie, the nun zombie, the emo kid, the vampire and the witch.



The Japanese babes dressed up cute as always.



And I think this nun has smooth skin. HAHAHAH. I think the powder + the potrait mode of my camera makes this magic.


This is the only time that I don't need to correct the red eyes of my pictures. I am glad, we should take more Halloween pics. Free red contacts :P


The sexy vampire, and I am sure every men is willing to get bitten by her.


No idea what we were trying to express.Nun with becks and cross with a constipated look? Perhaps.


Yeah and I like the green lights effect.


I am now a nun of the witchery society.Gosh, having a witch hat is way better than the nun's headscarf. At least it makes my face looks pointy rather than "M-E-A-T-Y"( although that was a fact)


Trying to curse the vampire.


Dearest Azusa and Fabio.



Meet my party-goers.

It was reeeeeally crowded yesterday night, we were being squeezed, squished and banged while we were on the dance floor. Especially when those people got drunk and started jumping. How does it look like when a nun dances on the dancefloor?

I will leave that to your imagination.

Happy Halloween!

I had a tiring night. Eliza came over and we both went through 2 Physical chem labs that we have gotta do this week and we spent like 2.5 hours, purely going through. Gosh, self studying takes so much time. I want to go to lectures now!

But well we are going to the lectures tommorow about Medicinal Chemistry but the lectures are in German!! Hahaha, I have no idea how are we going to understand, we will just try our best :P Will have a long day tommorow, from 9in the morning till 8 at night for my German course.

And yeah my tyre punctured today!I have gotta walk and take a bus to classes tommorow. :(

Anyway wish me luck ~

Good night peeps.

Some last minute craziness before the uni starts

So this was my exciting YESTERDAY. I went to Nürnberg finally after a month + here. That was not a very good thing, because Nürnberg is probably a lot more nicer than Erlangen, in terms of the old buildings and shoppings!!!!!!!!Yee chun and I even got free train tickets because I met a staff from a Restaurant, which the boss is a Malaysian (therefore he calls me to pick up free food whenever he cook something good :P) and he said he would lend me his Mobicard. Good, we were lucky! Head off to Nürnberg at 10am and started out shopping spreeee!

Well I haven't really visited the old historical places of Nürnberg, and I totally have no intention to do that, I just can't wait to do shopping!! (Like I have lotsa money to shop @@) But anyway window shopping is satisfying too! But the weather wasn't really good, it was -1 degrees :(

Went pass the city wall. And spot the red ROXY ear muffs from my dearest S babe!!

And the church

We basically walked around 2 streets but it took us for a whole day already!We went into every shop, browse around the stuffs, comparing prices. But well we were not too prepared to spend a lot of money and we didn't really see a lot of things that we really like, but still we enjoyed the window shopping.

Tried on this blouse in MNG and I quite like it but it costs 40 Euros!And I think it would cost much lesser in Spain because Chun peeled of the sticker of one of the shirt and the price below was like 25% less! How unfair is that, we were still in Europe!!Probably Malaysia is even cheaper.

Disappointed in MANGO but ZARA rocks! It was way cheaper and the quality was good. And it has only one price :P I bought two basic knitwears and they were kinda thick. Well I bought them after walking two whole streets comparing the other knitwears from all other brands, or some unknown brand and found out that ZARA has the most reasonable price. So I walked all the way back to ZARA. Hee, I am a wise consumer. They costs 14.90Euros each and that is the price for a ZARA T-shirt in Malaysia. I am in love with ZARA now. :)

Came home early as I had a Welcoming Party back in my dorm. But we are going to Nürnberg again for sure!!I was pretty tired and wasn't really keen for the party but my beloved floormates made the night really awesome. We had an ALEX-Rally which is some game where there are around 40 questions and you have to go to each floor to ask for answers. Of course, by then you will have to drink some alcohols that they prepared.

So, we have 5 floors each on the eastern and western wing, which means we have to drink 10 glasses EACH. So we ran like crazy, drank like crazy, and answered like crazy. I drank like 7 glasses in one or two hours and at the end I was really dizzy and I kept hugging my friends :P
But well we answered those questions in a very creative way ;)

Anna and I outside my door

Darja and I, well I was pretty drunk by then.

Just to show you that Anna has got her dentist to embed a little diamond on her tooth! Which lasted for 2+ years until now. If someday it wasn't there anymore, she must have swallowed it. That's cool, I haven't seen anyone had their tooth embedded, Ok well except my great grandma that has a golden tooth.

My bellas on the dancefloor @ Alex'sbar while waiting for the rally results :)

Meine mitbewohnerinen.My lovely floormates. Anna was hugging me in a way that made me feel like I was pregnant. hahaha. Ich bin nicht schwanger!

Ulli and I. Ein sehr nett Mädchen. A very nice girl :)

Tadaa the result was out and we won!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job team mates!

Just know the words, KOSTENLOS TRINKEN!
Means DRINK FREEE!
Yeppie, seems like I have another drunk date with my bellas.

This was my very very good day & good night ;)
