Last week in Oestrich Winkel

done with my last examination which turned out like crap. kept the lecture notes in my luggage just in case i need it again in Jan.

i've left Germany for now. will only be returning again in 2010 before going home for good. The last week in Germany was filled with goodbyes, everybody leaving for home. :( Zsofie and Yugandhar left first and then Audrey. It wasnt easy for us to say goodbye to each other, having lived together under one roof for almost 6 months. having dinners, parties, mugging everything under the same roof. sigh.... i dont wanna say goodbye! tear-filled goodbye. remembering the good & bad times we had together

somehow daljoon got cut off from the picture. but dont worry! haha i took an individual shot of u daljoon! 

one less lonely girl

having him over is like a dream come true. too good to be true.

we had our very first date in snow filled Triberg. Snow was everywhere, korean drama. he said, it feels like a Fairytale. with smal cottage houses in the background and snow white filled ground.

we woke up really early to catch the train to Triberg. the jouney was about 3.5hrs. It was a really small town, it felt like we have the whole town to ourselves. hehe because there wasnt anybody there. very little tourist, just us. i guess it was too early in the morning.

Main attraction in Triberg is the Waterfall, Germany's tallest Waterfall. too bad we could only climb to the first level because it was too dangerous to go higher. but nevertheless it was real pretty, no words can describe. doesnt the background look fake?! haha beautiful.

fav picture <3

the cuckoo clocks. world largest one. Weltgosste Kuckucksuhr. took us almost an hour to get there by foot. they're all so expensive even the small ones.

glacial lake that had a really thick coat of ice. haha we tried throwing stones to break the ice, but failed after many attempts. too thick. ice age.

and of course, the Black forest cake, which originate from there! the very very original black forest cake. yum yum. fresh cherry and choc.

blissful.

Love in the first degree

boyfriend brought me Singapore sambal meepok:) yes you're the best.

Seok, " my bf brought so little clothes but so much food! milo....etc"

me," hahahahaha"

haha yeahh Singaporean bfs. =P curry flavoured, chilli crab flavoured, curry & laksa maggie mee =)

had first home cook dinner on the 2nd day, after he came back from Rudesheim. Grocery shopping and he cooked. best maggi mee i've eaten :)

pinch me, i think im dreaming

yay! finally together! hehe

to zj: no more virtual relationship

current mood: super super duper-ly ovver the moooooooooooon

waking up at 6am in the morning today wasnt a chore to me =P, all the anticipation was finally over. couldnt fall asleep the night before, guess i was toooo gan cheong. tossing n turning.

too bad i've got exams at 10, if not we could spend a wholesome day together.

snowed like crazy in the day. i told kok, he is really lucky, once he reach germany, it started to snow. while i waited for months to see that.

went to Christmas market with Seok, nas, jason & kok. had lots of fooood. and again the gluhwein, kartofeln mit Apfelsauce, Kartofelnsupper and Hackfleish mit Brotchen. Last night was soo much fun, though we were all freezing! esp kok haha =P

he is off to Rudesheim now and i've got finance class later =(.

warmth in the cold winter
love

Pre Exam

i know i should be studying, but i cant help but stray off into facebook/msn/skype.

Sungho's Birthday

enough of rants and complains. Happy stuff!

Sungho's Birthday in Hallgarten.

The very first time we ate at his landlord-owned restaurant. Many a times, daljoon will ask if we would like to go there for dinner but we constantly refuse his offer. this time, Sungho's birthday so we all went up, all 12 of us for dinner =) sharing a bus ticket haha

love the decor in the Restaurant. it's so cozy and warm, everybody went WOW when we stepped in. a small little restaurant tucked in faraway hallgarten. check out the christmas decorations outside on the streets too. lovely. 

had a hearty meal of a giant schintzel which is amazingly delicious! yum yum =) it's like the size of a huge plate and comes with a bowl of salad and another bowl of potato. stomach walls were stretched to the max even though i didnt manage to finish it all. finished up the meal with yummy vanilla caramel ice cream with home-styled toppings of banana and nutella.

headed next door to the bachelor's pad of Sungho and David. theirs is so much nicer than ours(bachelor pad what) haha so clean and stylish. surprise to see the house still in a neat condition although 2 boys are living in it. david's room is the best, with a sky light, we can see the stars! took lots of pictures while we were there. last few nights of gathering in Oestrich Winkel, let's make each and everyone a memorable one =)  

my favourite photo of the night with my favourite bunch of Americans, Singaporeans and Koreans ♥

anywhere with u

brrrrrrr.....really getting supa cold over here. for the record it's -1 degrees celsius and signs of light snowfall tomorrow morning! yay! snow

today isnt a really great day for me. ya AGAIN. never seem to be full of energy when im here. i am constantly feeling tired for some reason i dont know. felt really lazy the whole day, but i had to force myself to study hard this weekend. 3 exams next week. raaaar!

my hoilday travelling plan isnt going too well either. no trains from milan to paris! damn....and they're system is down and undergoing some rescheduling. -.- im praying very hard everyday for my paris tickets. =( im like uber stress over the whole travel plans + exams. like i said, i need to book tickets and hostels. which is nearly impossible for the xmas & new yr season. and i told u, anywhere will do, as long as im with u =) whole budget trip might just turn to a splurged holiday. and u said money spent on u is always well spent =)

exam results for RE economics and econometrics is out today and i got a disgusting E for it. it's still considered a pass in EBS but im so worried NUS might not accept it. boo hoooo i've no idea why i've only got 6/30 for my case study when liyin n yughandar submitted the same work as me and they got 19. booooo.
day not going well.

having a splitting headache. for now, i'll go to sleep and hopefully catch the snowfall tomorrow morning.

bad day.

4days

as i said, i've been really busy lately, not trying to study but trying to plan for my year end trip. trip planning is really a real headache process. getting train tickets, booking hostels, fitting schedules...*phew glad im almost done with it.

he was really patient with me. due to the time difference he had to stay up late into the wee hours of the morning, searching for train timings and connections plus hotels. planning this together feels real good =) and finally we managed to fit everything into a 3 weeks travel before we head back down to Singapore. the tickets reserved by daljoon for me =)

and so here goes.

Christmas markts

Shopperholic alert!

have been really busy after the Management and Leadership exams.

The night after M&L exams, 10 of us, headed down for the well anticipated Christmas market at Rudesheim. everything felt so good after an exam although the market wasnt an impressive one. the food was great but everything else was just too touristy for me.

tried Gluhwein which is a kind of wine that is served hot! yeaps Hot wine - red or white? seok, shirlyn and i shared 1 cup of white hot wine. at first it had an acquired taste but after awhile, u grow in love with the fruity taste of it.

overall i think the whole Rudesheim Christmas Market was over-rated.

2nd trip out of Oestrich Winkel,

to the Immigration office which was like 2hrs away from where i live. to extend my visa but i think the chances of extending my visa is really slim. =( oh well. going home earlier doesnt sound so bad anyway. could come back to europe anytime i want to.

but what's weird about this immigration office is, no one there seems to speak any english. so much for being an INTERNATIONAL office for INTERNATIONAL visa. the lady who served us had problems communicating with us because she spoke no english but could understand english. weird. rosa had to call a german guy for translation over the phone. -.-

overall it was a waste of time seriously. went back to Wiesbaden and i heard the Christmas markt there is great so we went to check it out. Turns out to be goooood! haha much more haps then the one in Rudesheim, so much food and wine and hot beer! haha innovative move =P

Eins Wochen

2 months of hehe ♥

Counting down from 10

Yippee Hurray!

finished Management & Leadership exam paper today!looking back at the past few days, was totally disorientated and stressed up. got up at 5am this morning just to revise and read through the concepts again. i guess like what liyin said, it's just a singaporean thing aka Kiasu-ism at work. waking up that early in the morning, went online and saw seok on the other side of the com, reading her notes too. haha hilarious. and after doing the paper today, wth why did i spend so much time on this stupid module.

went to school even before the sun rose, the moon was still up in the sky at 7.30am. Winter has arrived. It was so cold and foggy outside and going to school on my bicycle with that thick fog is scary. scenes of horror flicks suddenly flashed in my mind. thank god i got to school safe. hehe

well, paper was crappy, couldnt remember everything im supposed to, just the bare minimal to pass. =P going to Rudesheim this evening. will blog about it again later =) for now bedtime! taking a break from studying for a day.

oh wait let's review what's left and what's done for now. 3 more to go exams to go and end of case-study nightmares.

lost mail

got that from my facebook profile. yeah today has certainly been a dramatic one, exciting at first and i would definitely not doubt that it's definitely a challenging one.

i feel so mentally drained after the whole marketing examinations and all the saga that has been going on in little island singapore and over the internet. i've got no more strength to carry on reading my sleep-inducing lecture notes. 

didnt realise my actions would caused such a big hoo-ha until

everything really hit me. and

you had to do the whole ''explaining'' thing for me.

thanks for being the understanding one to forgive my childishness.
