Oh well the past few days since i was home,i've been buzzing i can barely remember what happened.My mind is still somewhere up north. of course there was Joyce's and Chanjie's birthday..well details abt tt soon.It's about time i turn in early and stop my nonsense about jet-lagging( i told my mum tt so tt she'll undstd if i slp late and wake up even later!).Yes.I've a goal to fulfill for the month of june..To sleep early,drink 8glasses of water/day, exercise harder than before and fill up on my greens cos i want my good complexion back!My complexion is in a very sad condition now.Dark,Dry,Dull..virtually Doomed and on its way to Death.I rather have good complexion than a hot body.I swear!

This is so dreadful.I have already waited 8hours in frankfurt airport to get backta singapore.I will only reach home in a day's time.

Ryan air landed safely in frankfurt Hahn airport at 10pm last night(24th MAy 2005).I took a 1hour and 45mins bus ride from that little domestic airport to Frankfurt Int' airport.Since then, i have been awake,meaning i havent slept for almost 24hours and i haven bathed for that long too.I feel so gross and the dirtiest person alive.But what to do,i needta budget so i am not spending 6euros to bathe in the airport's toilet,neither did we want to put up a night at a hotel.The airport would do just fine.And i suppose it did cos its finally 7am and im using the airport's free net access.Im hogging it.Care not cos im so desolated from the world wide web!

So today's officially the last day of my trip.Fellings? Well i suppose im glad im alive to tell all of ya a story when i get back home in sunny singapore.(im assuming tt MAS will bring me to land properly at 9am on 26may 2005 that is!)Im pretty home sick cos i miss my bolster and my nest.I miss my damn loofa cos my body is just so dirty i need a scrub.Well, i miss home much as i know i will miss all the fun i've had the past 3 weeks with my all time irritating traveling mate nicole.haha i think im more of an irritant to her than she is to me but oh well who cares she's still my ah nic.

When i look back in retrospect,i realised that 3weeks is not too long a period but long enough for me to discover a lot about my self independence as well as erm my sensibility? haha im too sleepy to think but im trying to tell you that i feel so good about myself now cos i rmb telling my family i will NEVER go backpacking on my own cos its just so tiring and dangerous blah blah blah.Now that my mission's complete,im definitely coming back to europe for more backpacking cos yeah..im lovin' it! Well i suppose ive been really kind to myself the past three weeks.I rmb wanting to survive only on luxury biscuits and war food but i guess i never did get close to doing that at all.I had macdonalds, pizza,chinese restaurant food etc like ever so often.For one my ma fan traveling pal is always hungry and have cravings for almost everything everyday or should i say every other 3hours!haha.But well there are times where we got really desperate and no one will ever understand that besides us.Times whereby we ate crispy maggi mee or like rotten tuna..oh man. Those were the days.

I can hardly wait to get to singapore now.My fun has to end since my finances has long came to an end.I will be back for more stories!

My mission's complete,i will be smiling the moment im seated on MAS in 4.5hours time.I can hardly wait for daddy and sis to bring me to the 216 hawker centre for my ming jiang kueh and tao huay jui tmr at 9am!i miss my dad mum sis the most!like reallly. I miss my bimbos a hell lot.I cant wait to go silly with the rest of u but nic doesnt want to see me again cos she's very sick of me.She warns that next time when we go out,you guys can only ask one of us out.Not both at the same time.I think she really hates me.She has seen the VERY rotten side of me.she is threatening to tell all of u abt it.heck.Im more lovable anyhow!She's too auntie.haha.Love love love.oh yes, i miss my own toilet and bed as well.Nothing beats my bed and my semi automatic toilet bowl..hahas.

gotta go,gotta stop my ugly singaporean side of hogging things.Ive been losing alot of morals the past 3 weeks stealing jams butter and nutella..cheating on the metro system..stealing sweets and chocolates..haha.*chuckles* Backpacking in europe makes u lose ur morals when u become desperate like me. =)

ciao!

oh my.

Munich rocks.The beer capital of thw world is really fantastic!

I went on a shopping spree with my ah nic today.It was a fruitful trip.we behaved like rich tourists and not poor backpackers..come let me enlighten you with whats all these shopping bags about.

*2 pairs of birkenstocks!!!!
*accessöries from H&M
*gigantic Beer Mug
*Tons of chocolates and pralines
*Clothes from Telly Weiji and C&A
*shotglasses from Hard Rock
*lots of postcards

ahem..that was a handful aye? i had planned to spend €200 for the rest of germany(which was initially munich till i reach frankfurt,tts about 5days) but i ended up spending €200 in 2 days.Im in the shitz when i reach italy.I can realli close my eyes and walk the streets of milan shopping arcade.*shrugs* i am so irritating.i cant control my spendings.Nic is worse.She is instigating my wallet.She's bad.BAD.haha but i lurb this girl still!

By now i suppose she hates me to the core after traveling 10days with me.She knows all my chao-kuan-ness and she knows all my strange idiosyncrancies.did i spell tt right?yeah she has to put up with my mood swings,my irritating self, my selfishness..about everything.haha.i think she hates me but has no choice other than to stick by me.=)_

Ah nic! haha hate me all u want.we're in this trip tp hate each other!

anyway, to all my bimbos out there.I miss all our bimboticness.haha.oh my god i cant believe im saying tt.But yeah i miss all the noise we make when we meet.The stupid remarks dia makes.Amanda's fairytale stories of jeffrey etc , Jo's silly self.Everything.I miss all of you.

BUT! i miss my mummy and my daddy too.Their naggings.Mummy'splain and horrible cooking is still thebest cos im so sick of eating bread pretzels hotdogs and drinking beer..beer is cheaper than water here.

I miss my room mate.The girl who wakes me up at 10am calling me GAO SAI. MS JOYCE LIM! you are being missed!

I miss my best fren cenying for her crap.I miss my brother who always sms me to tell me goodnite.haha.Bro, you can still sms me u noe.i roamed my phone.

I miss chatting with heng tin online.I miss chatting with xy and silly ginny who alwas whines.i miss everyone.

But i know i will never regret missing u all cos im in germany and this is really a dream come true.i#ll b back in 12days!

maybe i forgot someone..hmmm...the person who calls me fat.haha, maybe i do miss your nonsense.Oh in case u r concerned,im damn the same and not scrawny cos its so COLD HERE i have to EAT and cant afford to lose any weight.i'll fly away if i don.haha.yeaps.so nope u will nv get to see ethopian joanne.

Well i guess tts enough of euros spent typing this post.It's gona cost a bombbomb i swear.damn.

Oh did i tell u i was so desperate i stole grapes from my bunk mates?well it's a secret between ah nic n i but heck now im telling the world.

ciao!

im powerful.im in germany rite now.Its 9pm here(which means its 3am in singapore) but the sun is still shining.im wondering when the sun is gona set.Shops have closed its door half an hour ago and hence im back in my hostel making use of the free internet access.Nic and i just refuse to retire because its our first and last night in Köln.Beautiful place.i just cannot find anything very wrong with europe so far besides for the steep high cost of potable water.I got cheated buying water today.It cost me €2.10(which means SGD4.50!!) to buy a 500ml gassy mineral water.Yes just in case you are unaware,the water here is gassy!very bad for mz airy tummy.I don wana be farting everywhere i go but..=)
oh well, the weather´s amazing.Perfect for nurturing flawless and smooth complexion.Something like a naturaly SKII maybe?Yeah i have so much to tell cos my day was great..it started at 0600am(when my plane landed of cos) and basically i moved all around with my BIG bag pack today so my shoulders are temporarily injured.hahas.

kk i´ll be back for more updates hopefully.needta get off.Cannot be a kiasu singaporean who hogs the com just cos its free!
