通马桶记



我实在有必要记下这历史性的一刻。

这是一则恶心的文章,你坚持的话后果自负。

话说我们宿舍的厕所马桶造型不如一般厕所,我们的马桶长这样子:


(从别人部落格偷来的,才知道原来这是旧式的马桶,比我们一般的马桶多了一层)

这马桶实在是太令人惊心动魄了。

一开始到德国的时候,我还真的对此马桶有点恐惧,原因是

1。那一层上会有积水,而且我们的马桶历经50年的沧桑之后变得有点黄,乍看时下好像还有别人残留下的尿尿在那。

2。由于它上面有积水,那‘嗯嗯’的时候就会很担心会被水溅到(令我想起了阿甘的故事,LOL欲知详情请联络2004年3A1的同学,对不起啦阿甘,那个故事实在太令人影响深刻),由此训练出‘淑女嗯嗯’技巧。

3。我真的不知道那一层的存在是不是在为了吓唬吃东西很不健康的人, 因为在‘嗯嗯’过程中,你的‘伟绩’就会一直残留在那,依依不舍地和你道别,等你回头想要冲水时,它们就会和你四目交接,很清楚地交待它们从你大肠里到底带走了什么。

4。到你想清理屁屁时还怕说手会不会突然碰到!

5。重点来了,当你真的排除万难很顺利‘嗯嗯’完毕的时候(尤其是很有成就的嗯了一大堆)问题就来了,你很有可能面临厕所阻塞的问题!而且重量太重的时候还真的冲不下去 ==

话说我来这那么就只碰过一两次厕所阻塞,而且还蛮幸运地让我用



这支东东就可以通了,我也不知道怎么做到。

结果今天我又面临了马桶阻塞的问题,而且还被一大堆卫生纸塞着。结果我就在厕所里折腾了快20分钟才把那坨屎给搞定 >< 恶心死了(你们不会想要知道‘屎水纸’和在一起的状况是如何)。半途还回来google一下到底要怎么通厕所。 其实我倒可以不理它,因为明天一大早就会有清洁工人来清理,而且现在大家睡了也不会用到厕所,可是我实在没办法忍受所以无论如何我都一定要把他通掉! 皇天不负有心人,在我辛苦地一直用那只东东来回pump之后,我终于成功把它们都送去‘便便天堂’了,然后我就放下心头大石,兴高采烈地回房了。 (真让我想起小学写作文‘xxx记’时,会用的成语,所以我就把小学老师教的都写上去了 :P)

有谁敢再说我是个大小姐的话,那下次我就打电话叫他来帮我通!

呃,我的手现在酸死了!

Loughborough

"Louh-boh-raf"?

"Lao-bo-rouh"?

"Lo-bo-ro"?

If you are trying to pronounce my title like what I did when I first saw the word, let me tell you the pronounciation is something like "Laf-beraf". The tip is to say it really fast and pretend like you have an accent. And now if you wonder what that is, that is the first place I stayed in UK for my christmas-newyear break.

As I have said in my previous post, I spent my xmas night sleeping on a really cold bench in front of The Body Shop at Munich Airport. (Mum thought that was crazy and dangerous cause she thinks I might get raped or kidnapped) I had a sleepless night as the bench was really cold and it was weird sleeping in the middle of the hallway with cool pilots, air stewardess or random people walking pass me. So at the end I had such a bad day because I had zero sleep and had a yucky McD for breakky(Imagine sweet pancake with salty chicken)

Got to UK with Aer Lingus and arrived at London Gatwick airport on Boxing Day. It was a little bit crowded and we were a little big clumsy with our 20kg 30inches luggage and a hand luggage each with backpack and handbags. Yes, it's a vacation. Not fleeing.



London welcomed us with a little bit of drizzling. And we were kinda pissed off by those bus drivers because we were waiting so long for the bus to the city and time was ticking off because it was Boxing Day, we needed to get our ass to the sales!

When we arrived at Victoria Coach Station and stored our luggage, we tried to get on the bus straight to Oxford St. and got pissed off again by the "only accept coins and no change is given" ticket machines. Damm, we were only tourist, how would you expect us to bring a full sack of coins dangling around our waist and there weren't any coins changing machines in vicinity. But the urge to shop is so strong, especially seeing people carrying like 5 bags of Burberry (I even went up to them and asked where is the store), Heidi and I decided to queue for Burger King and get some change.

So we were on the bus and we only have 1 hour to shop as we need to go to Loughborough after that, we passed by a Burberry store and pressed the bell. We just got off somewhere and it seems like it is a shopping area cause it was so crowded and everyone was carrying LV Gucci Burberry's paper bags.

And at the end we just managed to queue into a few stores but sadly all the stores were too high end for us :P There is no reason where we should spend all our money before our journey even started. So we just watched and drooled and watched and drooled.

Well the whole shopping trip was only 40 minutes when we rushed back to the station and caught the other coach straight to Loughborough. So from the starting of my journey I spent most of the time on a plane, a train or a bus.

The stay at Loughborough was awesome, we had a good rest there after the hectic start of our journey. I met this high school friend of Heidi - Anna, and she was the craziest person I have every met, and her craziness is silence. LOL, and then I met this friend of Anna - Michael because he came to pick us up from the bus stop.

The whole stay was pleasant because we went to all the places with a car :P That was a very luxurious trip, reminds me of my stay in Adelaide with pinnie.

Went to Leicester the next day, when Michael offered to drive us there.


Michael & I


Great new friends





Headed for Dimsum, OMG.
I haven't seen this in like 5 months and I was truly excited and ate like a cow.


Michael's housemate, Donald, the AB. We wore like the same style on the 1st time we met, *blush*





Fun people :)


And crazy shopping mates. All those bags deifinitely adds up to 400 pounds. We shopped till the last minute and kept grabbing stuffs inside ALDO, the feeling was so great!And the security has to walk us out of the mall because it was closed.


Back to Anna's crib with her G10.She was really nice she offered us to cook dinner at her place so that we could save our travel funds.

Nottingham the next day.Chit chatted with Heidi until really late so we woke up really late and got to Nottingham, around 3pm ><" That's us, the Bs.
They have a teddy xmas tree!


And heaps of teddies deco.


Spot my new bag from ALDO :P


The German xmas market in UK.





Went for a buffet hot pot and Heidi and I ate like a cow, no, COWS, again. I was so concentrated in eating that I didn't even bother to look when she was snapping the pic. You can tell how hungry I am. (That was dinner, and our 1st meal for the day ><)
Tried on our my new heels from ALDO :) Yeppie!


OUR NEW HEELS. Insisted to go clubbing that night as we wanted to wear our heels. And also it was the last night lar...





Had no clubbing clothes so Anna lended me her "must succeed clubbing top" LOL. Small club in Loughborough that serves Vodka lime that tasted like limonade in a plastic cup.


Hot girls hunting. gosh my collar bones.


Went home and had kebap take away, those guys going crazy after alcohols.


Opps and spot my new earings from ALDO. LOL.


Michael's housemate as well. Xic.


Groupie pic :)





I heart this pic.

The day when we have to leave, Michael brought us to this restaurant that serves good but cheap steaks!











And with nice ambience.


At the train station.


Thanks for being our royal driver, and tolerate the chaos in the car.


Train back to London.

So that concludes my awesome 3nights stay in Loughborough, visiting the biggest university (the main campus),meeting new people, eating lotsa asian food, living like a local,the finger incident :P Everything is awesome and thanks to Anna, Stephanie, Michael, Donald and Xic for the hospitality :D Hopefullt we would meet again someday!

TWENTY TEN!

Hola, a Happy Belated New Year to everyone.

I just came back 4 days ago from my tedious 16 days voyage and now I have to go to the lab everyday which means I haven't got a full day to rest!That was absolutely tiring!

Anyway New Year's Eve in London was awesome!

And Paris was amazing too,
adding the fact that both the places are having their big sales and of course I had grab a lot of good deals!!

2009 just passed, and I was really glad I had made the right choice to come to Germany and experience the most fabulous things in my life, never would I in 2 years back would have expect my life to turn out like this. I really appreciate the chance of travelling around the world :)

Anyway I am giving myself a break this weekend without any trips so hopefully by then I would be able to update about my tripssssss. (Except that I was anticipating to go for shopping too, sales in Germany still going on :P)

Stay tuned and here is a little glimpse of the Paris Eiffel & the amazing fireworks @ London Eye :)
