Merry Christmas everyone! Though my Christmas isnt so merry.
Anw, know what I like about switzerland/france? (Yeah this should be in the previous post but whatever)
Their dedication to bicycles. Their roads have an extra lane by the side that is meant for bicycles. Cool right?
I mean I'd rather cycle to school than to take bus because its freaking crowded and cold in the morning. Too bad my house is never within cycling distance.
Ok now Im at a loss on what to blog. Man this is awkward.
And I never really seem to receive Christmas presents. Damn.

Wednesday 23 December 2009
Finally decided to update, since its been exactly two weeks. Well, I think the trip is not bad.
Met some people on my tour group here and there, and I think they're interesting :) Not to forget the tour guides, good man. 2 thumbs up. If I had 3 thumbs, I'd give them three but I only have two. ):
Anyway, one thing I hate about the trip is that out of 14 days, around 8 days were spent in Italy. Which sucks. Traffic is definitely a thumbs down fo' shure.
Everytime we got into another city, first thing to go to.. chapels/churches whatever you call it. And thats exactly what I dislike.
I thought about lots of stuff to blog about when I was in Europe. Now that Im back, I dont have a single clue about the details ._. Some are still with me but I just dont want to bring them up.
3 days spent in Switzerland and the last 3 were spent in Paris.
Switzerland.. what can I say? Its beautiful. Lucerne was one of the places I went.
Surrounded by hills, valleys and mountains, Lucerne is the perfect place for you to get away from all the city's hustlin' and bustlin'. 'Wow' at the extraordinary sights and sceneries as our buses take you round the town.
Ok that was entirely made up by me. One thing I'd like to mention. My tour guide said people in that area get depression really easily. I guess its because of the boxed-up feeling you get when you're there.
And, I went up mount Jungfrau! 3571m above sea level. Yes, there was one area where visitors could walk outdoors and experience Mother Nature.
Something like..
Yeah. Red lines = Safety lines. Go over that = fall 3000m +++ to your death.
Red dot = swiss flag.
Blue line = gradient.
Invisible white dots = Blizzard. (PS i didnt draw this. thats why its INVISIBLE)
OF course I had to touch the swiss flag.
FYI. Temperature : -7.7degrees celsius.
Wind speed : 39km/h
1st attempt : Tried to test my limits and set off without gloves. Scurried back 5 seconds later.
Reason : Hands were FREEZING. (no kidding.)
2nd attempt : Went out. Came back in 5 seconds later.
Reason : The thing that covered my head flew off in like less than 5sec. (It was part of the jacket so its fine)
3rd attempt : Went out fully armoured. Came back 1minute later.
Reason : To prove it was really high, I video-ed the surroundings. And so had no more WARMTH to carry on.
4th attempt : Went out fully armoured. No recording or whatsoever and touched the flag.
Well actually I didnt manage to touch the flag cos some people were taking pictures there so I just stood there till I was chilled to the bone.
And.. I almost flew off the mountain. Literally. Going back indoors was going down the gradient and since I was moving really quickly (actually running), the wind almost blew me off.
This also made me realise something. I've got poor physical endurance/stamina. (actually I know it alr)
Ever since I got out of the train which took us to the mountain, I was pretty much panting the whole time. Actually it was after the meal ._.
K moving on to Paris. When you're in Paris, whats the thing that you cant miss? The Eiffel Tower of course.
At night...
The tower starts this sparkling effect for about five minutes every hour.
Inside..
Cool right. Taken inside the third floor of the tower. Can see my suave reflection yo (:
Cool right. Taken from the train.
Looks like there's smoke on the peak right.
I told you I wasnt lying.
The leaning tower of Pisa but I didnt go in.
The blue/green dude is my dad (:
Rest of the album is uploaded on Facebook. Too bad if the link isnt working for you cause it is for me. But anyway, just go check out my album for the photos.
In case you want to see how a receipt looks like there, heres a sample.
Erased the numbers so people wont say crap. Just click on it and hold ctrl + roll mouse wheel to see the details.
And if you're wondering, NOPE I DIDNT LOSE MY HEADSET. My dad took it accidentally.
And I didnt buy anything for anyone. Yep too bad. Sick of pocket burning.
And the God that I was talking about is Michael Jackson. Hah caught you off guard didnt I? No? Damn Im not sharing jokes anymore.
Ok just go check out my Facebook for more pictures.

Currently in Italy, Milan. Quick update.
So far I've been to places like Florence and Venice in Italy, there are still other places but I kinda forgot.
Will be heading to Switzerland tomorrow, finally out of Italy. The thing I dislike about this tour is that we keep visiting chapels, catherals and churches. Their religious stuff seriously bores me out.
Italian food... not bad. Good change from the usual home-cooked chinese food.
FYI, europe is 7 hours BEHIND Singapore.
So now the time is 4.23am in singapore but its 9.23pm in europe.
If you think that Singapore's traffic is epic fail, as in its crowded 24/7, I think you should take a look at Italy, especially Rome.
Iggy used to say this about soccer.. "you find space you play."
Here, its "you find space you park." Its freaking true. The people happy-happy can just park their car in the middle of the road. (well not really but they really squeeze their cars into every little space they can find.)
Dont know what the hell the police doing. Happily chewing on their donuts while the city's in mayhem.
My tour guide's a funny man lol. And at least 80 people joined this tour. ( OOO that was really what I didnt expect. Two groups of 40+ )
Italy got A LOT of chio bus. No pimples no freckles just pure beauty. LOL.
Guys can come here find wives already ok!
K thats enough for now. Will update again soon. Probably when I return on the 17th.
EDIT : I was pissed for the whole day today. Why?
I LOST MY FREAKING HEADSET. Put it in some white case and I think it blended in freaking well with the bedsheets. Unfortunately even though I have like 4-eyes I couldnt see it. Only realised that it was lost when I got to another hotel yesterday.
I NEED MY MUSIC BADLY. PS: I know many of you dont see me having ear pieces stuffed into my ears and blasting music. Thats because I blast it on my PC at home LOL.
And since now Im outside, no loud blasting unless I want to get my ass kicked out of the hotel.
The worst thing is I lost my headset when I recently just got addicted to a whole bunch of songs. !_!
The addiction to music does wonders.
Now Im happily listening to my songs from my phone without blasting it ^o^ How?
HEADSET DUH! I kop my younger brother one LOL. In exchange for the hp charger. (He didnt bring his.)
Argh. If I had the headset for my PSP then it wouldnt have been this bad. I swear after I get back to singapore, I'll storm down to some shop jermaine lee(Jerm we got a date remember? ^o^ ) and get headsets man. 1 for phone 1 for psp.
Sigh. 10.30pm now in Italy. Morning call 7am tomorrow so can burn some oil tonight :D
(Its 5.30am in singapore)
Sadly no one's online in my MSN. Actually have but one is a firebird who does nothing but "Flame on" for the whole day. The other is a workaholic whos doing work even up till now. (double-checked my msn, still on LOL.)
K till then.
EDIT 2 : Dont say I bad ok. Tomorrow till 16th I'll TRY (No guarantees) to see how much my dad's willing to let me rob of him so that I can some gifts. I see who comes to my mind then I buy la hor. Till now I only know I need to get one for sng qi huan (But I can choose to shrug it off LOL). HUAN you owe me one hor if i buy for you.
Maybe when its 7am onwards in singapore, you guys may flood my cbox with "OI SAM BUY FOUR MI!" "EH FAG GET FOUR MI KAY" "Eh help mi buy xx" BUT i wont be able to see it already so tooo late. HAH.
And uh I THINK I CAN receive SMSes here in Europe. But even if i receive i most likely wont be replying cos it costs like 50cents for one message here. So see whos the smart one who visits my blog at this time when Im in the middle of my trip. But still if I dont feel like it i wont buy for the person hor, i warn first. LOL.
Time is gold ^o^ (No link LOL.)
K till then.
EDIT 3 : I want to share something before I leave. My tour guide told us just now.
A : What is god?
B : Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. dont know.
A : God is black or white?
B : I think can be both la. Depends lor.
A : Ok. Then God is male or female?
B : I think both also have leh. Depends also lor.
A : Oh! I think I know whos God already.
B : Who?
A : Its ..........................
Who do you think God is? Leave your answer in the cbox. Will tell the answer the next time I have the chance to come online. I can guarantee you will LOL. Or at least get surprised.
HAH.

Thursday 3 December 2009
So its finally the 3rd of December.
Today is the day..
we die.
No actually its the day I fly to Europe. The things Im looking forward to? The plane rides and the end of the trip (Computer wating for me ^o^)
Cos of some people, I started listening more to songs. And so I've added a few more artists to my Favorite Artists collection.
Ranking according to the time I started liking them. Earliest-latest
Numbah one,
Jay Chou :D
Numbah two,
Jason Mraz
Numbah three,
The Click Five
Numbah four,
Taylor Swift :D
Ok I dont know why I blogged about that, maybe just to lengthen this post. Or maybe for fun or even to brighten up this post. Anyway the main thing is Im listening to more music now.
My flight today is at donktknowwhattime but I know its around 12am.
Will be packing my laptop at 8 30pm so if anyone has any last minute things to say to me(Which I think there wont be) you can do so before that time.
K thats all. I like 6i'06 :D

I really feel like closing down my blog cause I simply do not feel like blogging anymore.
-Cuts to the chase-
Will be going to Europe for the next two bloody weeks. Usually when I tell people that, the responses are mainly..
1. Wa rich kid
2. Walao so lucky
3. Lucky leh you, i wan go also canot sia
4. U dun wan go giv mi go la
5. rich ass la u still say no $$
6. wtf so long nv tell me
7. lucky ass
Honestly speaking, Im not looking forward to it. In fact, I'd rather stay here in SG with my friends.
Two weeks, half of my Dec gone.
Dont know where my holiday homework is, much less feel like doing it.
Was away to chalet yesterday and I came back today.
Shall not talk much about it.
These days, Im really running out of content to blog about. Maybe it'd be better for me to close this blog down. The cbox itself is already pathetic enough.
* What Not to Say to a Policeman
-- I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.
-- Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize I was driving.
-- Wow, you must've been doing about 125 mph to keep up with me!
-- I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.
-- You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
-- You look just like my girlfriend's deadbeat ex-husband.
-- The question is -- do YOU know why you pulled me over?
-- I was trying to keep up with traffic, and it's miles ahead of me.
-- If you have to ask if I've been drinking, I'm not going to tell you, dude.
-- It wasn't my fault -- when I reached down to roll this joint, my gun fell off my lap and got lodged under the brake pedal.
-- That's a sweet 9mm. You want to hold my .44 magnum?
-- If I'd known I was getting a full body cavity search, I would have waxed!
A young woman said to her doctor, "You have to help me, I hurt all over."
"What do you mean?" said the doctor.
The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, "Ow, that hurts." Then she touched her left cheek and again yelled, "Ouch! That hurts, too." Then she touched her right earlobe. "Ow, even THAT hurts."
The doctor asked the woman, "Are you a natural blonde?"
"Why yes," she said.
"I thought so," said the doctor... "You have a sprained finger."
