Just came back from Barcelona! Really special trip...I realised one can be independent and *not so blur* when u r left with no choice...I always thought I have no sense of direction, always soo blur, always sooo lost and silly and stupid...always a joke in the group..that how I feel initially...but this trip makes me realised that mayb i am not what I always think myself as...
I went to stay in this INOUT hostel in barcelona...a very special place despite the extremely slow check in procedure (take 45mins to check in!!!)...why special?...hmmm..that because alot of their employees are disabled either physically or intellectually! Those physically disabled r the leaders...hmmm....I was quite touched when I saw it...a job gave these people a chance to lead a normal life!
Barcelona in general is a pretty place..I simply love all the buildings..they r just soo pretty and pictures simply cannot capture the feeling! However, it is also a very unsafe place..with many pickpockets, fake polices and fake tourists! Worse! When I am in Barcelona, there is such a huge protest going on that many polices are armed, there is even a helicopter lingering in the air! Many roads are blocked and it makes travelling in the city really difficult, the loud noises and many many inconveniences spoil the mood...need to keep checking my stuffs to prevent pickpocket etc....
Other than that Barcelona is not a bad place to go... =) Had a good time with wl and lr! Wanted to post pics here..but haha..no time..so just decided to do a simple blog here...
Fyi: I will be gg norway soon then to greece then turkey! so may not have time to blog during this period cause i will not have internet access when i am outside germany!

Fussen (Germany)~ Day 2
15 May 2011
We visited the waterfall and dried up lakes! Fussen, is a really beautiful place! It is a must go place for people travelling to Germany! A great experience of my life! We even went to a lake..and then realized the lake has already dried up!!! Walking on the dried up lake ground is a totally totally different experience!! One should try it when given the chance!
When walking on the ground (in the middle of the lake), we are surrounded by nothing except the skies! Imagine that kind experience!! Shiok! The weather however is not soo gd..it is starting to rain..and it is really cold!
Some beautiful pics to share!
Waterfall!
We are trying to do a pic of UGLY faces!...haha..cUTE?
Dried up lakes!
(It is a pity..I cannot get to take more pictures!..my camera died again! ROAR!!)
Next we went fruhling fest (spring festival) in stuttgart! In Germany, there will be a spring festival that lasted about 2~3 weeks to celebrate SPRING!...it is a pity, my camera died..I cannot capture the beautiful pictures of the festival! We managed to see the fireworks on our way from Fussen back to stuttgart though! AWESOME! =)

Neuschwanstein ~ Fussen (Germany)~ Day 1
14 May 2011
The most dangerous and adventurous trip that I had ever experience in my life! At first, I thought, riding a motor bike in thailand is the most dangerous thing I have ever done, haha..but i did a even more dangerous thing!...but the funny thing is..i am not scared at all! hmm...weird arh?
So you will all be wondering what have I done?...haha..and the mystery is revealed..we climb up a mountain..it was raining by the way and the wind is sooo strong...the sound is scary though...and do u know why we climb up the mountain? just to take a beautiful picture of the castle NEUSCHWANSTEIN! WE climb really high!, unaided somemore...without the proper gear or clothing!...the sad thing is!...my camera died before we climb up the moutain! so I cannot get to take the breath-taking view of the castle and the moutain that we climb!...sadded...
That is the mountain (behind the castle) that we had climbed in the rain and braving through the strong wind! We decided to climb that mountain...despite objections from wl...haha
Just some beautiful pics in Fussen (my favourite place in Germany)!
The lakes are really beautiful, with a calming effect..it is really serene...we decided to take a boat ride(self ride ~ it is tiring!)
haha..3 handsome guys!..International! I love this pic! =))
After the super tired boat ride..though we looked relax...it is deceiving..haha..we have to paddle the boat ourselves out into the lake...to enjoy the feeling of only being enclosed by mountains and trees, sky and water...next we had to rush for our castle tour by walking intensively for 30min!!! uphill somemore!....
It is a pity we cannot take pictures inside the castle (Neuschwanstein)....
A little history about the castle! This castle belongs to King Ludwig II, he is the king of Bavaria..it is a pity that he died before this castle is complete..he never gets to sleep in his own bedroom at all! His death, till now, is a mystery....
Nevertheless..some more beautiful scenery pics of the castle itself!!...

Lesson in Germany
11 May 2011
I have attend lesson in German as well as in English! Engineering lessons in German are stressful! I totally can understand the meaning of "I don't understand"! When many students in NUS says this..they have not really experience it thoroughly!
The classes here still use chalk and blackboard today! They do not use Dusters too! They use a sponge and wipe off the blackboard! tt y they always have a sink next to the lecturer's table!..haha..some interesting new facts to share!
There is no tutorial for my classes..some lecturers give lecture notes..others..hmmm..no idea! oh ya..and my exams for engineering courses, master modules are ORAL examination!..hmmm...I wonder what it will be like?
Hopefully I will be able to transfer the credits and graduate on TIME!...that is really important for me!...fear...

11 May 2011
It has been some time since i have wrote on my blog...I haven even finish blogging my easter europe trip!

In march, due to german intensiv course, my life is sooo busy yet I feel very happy despite all the upheavals here and there and most importantly, I am very close to my friends, we laugh almost everyday...we cook everyday too! we practically spent the day tgt and enjoy and talks alot!! But now..whenever we meet up because we have things to discuss, it is unlike in the past..we meet up for a purpose...hmmm...nothing bad about it just that I feel lonely here..time seems to be plentiful..when friends are not with u...
But i know I should not complain...my life here is not NOT gd..haha..i can enjoy the time here in Europe..hmm..but I feel lost? perhaps... there is not much things I can do here...life is simple here..I miss my activities filled life...when I am alone for too long...I tend to think alot and think too much..I guess...
I really feel like having a long chat with my friends...mayb just to get the sense of boredom and "lost" away from my chest!
Simple life gd? or not so gd?
N my friend wl, hmmm...I feel that both of us are so close yet so far..we r beginning to drift apart...not physically, we saw each other often..but I feel that I am not sure what she is thinking inside her head and she fills up her life with her own stuff..while....my life looks empty...there is nothing inside except for lesson mayb?
