End of SEP Trip XI

Copenhagen (25-26th June 2008)

ok, officially the last n final stop of the trip.. yap, back to where it all started, it shall all end here.. back to our "temporary hometown".. back to our containers.. back to denmark..

after a span of 5months, things r not as unfamiliar.. trees finally not botak and have leaves.. grass are growing everywhere.. the wind is no longer cold, chill n wet, but warm n dry.. snow is a thing of the past, and bright sunny days beckon upon us.. no longer do we wrap ourselves in thick layers of winter wear, but down to t-shirts n berms.. the sun dun exactly set anymore, leaving the midnite darkness a thing of the past.. twilight dun seem to come, and there seem to be always a ray, a ray of hope n life..

juz one more nite in DTU..

the journey to the airport was filled with mixed emotions.. the eagerness in most, if not, all of us, to return to spore, our REAL hometown.. the joy that we r able to be reunited with our families.. the thought of meeting up with frens spirits us up for the 13hr journey.. yet on the other hand, the apprehension we hold with regards to changes back in spore.. the uncertainty of relations that may or may not hold firm after this 5 months.. the anxiety for us to find out, yet might not wanna know the whole truth, for reality often hurts.. the sian-ness that NUS skooling term starts again, and the days where we cook n laze ard and study very little WILL BE OVER.. thats reality..




at the airport..






yap, with our huge amount of barang barang, we set foot to the airport.. this time, ALOT heavier.. this time, without kendrick (who went back 5days earlier to celebrate anniversary with his girlfren).. this time, the same heavy heart as i departed changi 5months ago..

one more nite on plane, and i will kiss goodbye to denmark, and say harlow to spore..

End of SEP Trip X

Berlin (23rd - 24th June 2008)

the canal-full venezia..

bridge of signs..

jewish ghetto..

the gondola ride cost 100euros lah.. and tats regardless of the number of people lah.. so for juz the 3 of us, is quite bo-hua lah.. haha.. imagine we saw one boat of 7 fat fat angmo sit together in a boat, damn wu-hua and worth it lah.. haha.. poor boat-man though!! haha..

string of gondolas.. the main form of transport alongside with the water taxis n water bus..

the miniature concert band made of murano glass.. its so small tat each band member is abt 2cm tall, and each of them cost 5euros.. do ur sums and dis concert band will cost u at least 300bucks!

End of SEP Trip V

Interlaken (14-16th June 08)


out of the train station, to WALK to our hostel.. haha.. interlaken is actually quite a small town lah.. left to right, oni a 5min train ride away.. haha..

our hostel, balmers herberge, one of the most happening nightspot in interlaken as well..

dunnoe y, but somehow, after the swiss got knocked out of EuroCup, the whole country seem to go on a MAD craze to support the dutch aka hollanders..

haha.. the swiss were the craziest bunch of supporters (not for the own country though.. hurhur)so far, with unlimited honking of the cars going round n round on the streets, banners n even bus displayed everywhere to show support as ORANJE FANS..

but BEHOLD, wait til u see my vienna post of the czechs.. haha..

no bullshitting in interlaken, a great break from all the capital and city sight-seeing.. juz nice scenic photos! haha..

yanli is up on the JungFrungJoch mountain range behind me!! haha..


love dis photo due to the sun's ray tats behind us!


we were high on the bridge above the calm river..

we tried paragliding too!!

on the whole, it was quite an advanture lah.. when we did the "spiral", the wind is so so strong tat i experienced uncontrolled tearing lah.. haha.. i cant imagine if i had gone for sky-diving instead.. haha.. hmm.. well, twice the price, i guess twice the excitment and shiokness as well.. whaha..

not to be missed is authentic swiss cheese fondue!! erm, but not to my liking lah.. haha.. they added white wine or champagne into it lah.. haha.. bitter bitter salty salty one, i dun like.. prefer my chocolate fondue ANYTIME! whaahah..
