借酒消愁，愁更愁

很无奈，很困惑。。。。。。
谁能救我，谁能与我分担。。。。。。

好难过，真的好难过。。。。。。
但我不允许自己，随意漏出脆弱的一面。
坚强，要坚强。。。。。。

明明，世界上，就有好多珍惜自己的人，为什么不能也珍惜对方呢？
为什么？为什么？为什么？
好复杂，好困惑，好无奈。。。。。。

什么是海枯石烂，山盟海誓？我不懂。。。。。。我想懂，但不懂。
日出在哪里？白天在哪里？希望在哪里？

明天会更好。。。。。。惟有以仅存的气息紧紧地握住这个微弱的希望。

HAPPY CNY!!!

成长的代价

说我单纯？慢熟？幼稚吧。。。。。。

发觉成长的路上，所目睹的，所接触的，所闻的； 往往越来越惊心动魄。
突然觉得以前的单纯时光好好噢，自己单纯，身边的人与事也单纯。

都不太去想，眼前的漫漫人生路，能怎么走，会怎么走。。。。。。不想，也不敢想。
继续的无知，单纯下去。

这样，或许在成长路上，付出的代价能少些，以换来一丁点的单纯快乐，可以吗？

海外的last农历新年, for the moment...

下个星期一，就是年初一了:)
已经好久好久没在家过新年，没吃团圆饭，没有感染新年的气息了。
还有短短的几个月，我就要衣锦还乡啦！希望明年可以好好的过一个年！^.^
当然啊，新年期间也是与朋友们相聚的好时间！已有数载没见好多朋友了！

而for the moment我这在异乡的新年呢，我选着了一点点的不一样，因为，我将在Oslo,挪威，渡过年除夕！！！>.< 好兴奋哦！希望，一切美好！就如新的一年！

而你呢？已经准备好回家过年了吗？看来，我也要整顿心情，来迎接新年咯！！！:)


首张收到的贺年卡，谢谢adwin!!! :D 温馨！！！

跨年之旅 08/09 Europe trip final part

Day 8
We had a hard time waking up very early after the blast last night, and caught the train from Salzburg to Vienna.
Once we reached Vienna, WY & AY went to check-in in to the Wombat’s hostel just walking distance from the main train station as they couldn’t find a host in Vienna and me & Jackie ‘tumpang’ our luggage there first. We planned to visit our host only in the evening.

Alright, half a day left, we decided to take tram No.1 or No.2 to circle around the Vienna city as suggested by those tourist handouts.

Well, it turned out to be not-too-interesting =.= hehe…well, at least we got to rest inside the tram for 1 hour. >.<

We got off the tram near the shopping street and went into the Swarovski shop since most of us planned to get something inside for our mommies!!! :D
Well, I got a necklace with a swan pendant!!! At 70euro >.< !!! Hope my mom loves it! One reminder here, crystal cannot get in touch with water as it will loose its shininess as I was told by the sales girl in the shop; no wonder the crystals I bought as gifts in Prague last year all lost its shininess according to the feedbacks I got, they must have wet the crystals!!!

As it was getting late, we went back to Wombat’s hostel, grabbed our luggage and headed to the meeting point where Martin, our host was waiting.

Martin was a very NICE host! He shared this exotic apartment with another 4 more people but apparently the rest were back home to celebrate New Year it seemed. This apartment located in a 100year old building, how cool was that?!?!

Martin’s brother happened to drop by for a visit that night too, and 3 of us went to have a beer and chilled out, it was a pleasant night. (his brother’s name was Wolfgang! Cool right?!?!?)

Day9
The next morning, Martin was kind enough to prepare us breakfast!!! I had a local Vienna home breakfast!!! NICE!!! Martin told me they are not used to having ‘warm’ breakfast, as in mainly bread etc, unlike us Chinese, in contrast, have noodles, dimsum etc served warm!

Alright, a long day started! We went to the hostel and met up with WY & AY and headed to our first destination – the Schönbrunn Palace!
We Q-ed up for almost one hour to get in there!
There was an audio-guide provided hence it was an informative and interesting tour.

We were not supposed to take photos inside, but rules are meant to be broken >.<

Next, we rushed to another tourist attractions, the KunstHaus Wien & Hundertwasser Haus.
KunstHaus Wien

Hundertwasser Haus



I love these 2 places, the buildings are so catchy!!! The shops inside sell really really cool and artistic and abstractive stuffs which I love tones!!!
There was even a world famous toilet of art! :D (we were supposed to pay to enter the toilet, but we didn't!!! and we squeezed all the way inside via the autogate, woohoo~)


(and a opera toilet at the subway station next to the national opera theatre >.< )
Lastly, we rushed (yes, we had to keep the time checked!) to our final destination – the opera and orchestra theatre! Meanwhile, we dropped by the Vienna prater to have a photo session!
we called it the Vienna eye >.<
The opera theatre
The orchestra theatre

Unfortunately, the orchestra theatre was having a private show that night, hence we went to the opera theatre instead and a ballet show – “The Nutcracker” was playing that night! Yes!

We managed to get standing tickets at just 3 euros!!! (yes, literally, u have to stand, at the top level gallery, behind all the seats, yet you still can get a pretty good view of the show. Personally, I was satisfied, otherwise u have to pay 10times more to watch it! Another interesting point I noticed there, that you can mark your place! Yes, if you arrived earlier, you can tie your scarf around the railings infront of u, and u booked a standing place!!! Fantastic! :P)


After the show, we went back to Martin’s place and cooked him a dinner! He happily invited his gf and 2 more friends to come over and enjoy the feast! He was delighted. 
Well, we had a nice chat and some drinks, then it was time to do some packing as tomorrow we’ll catch the ICE (intercity express) train back to Frankfurt from where we will fly back to Ukraine, marking the end of THIS Europe trip  .
P/S: we went back to Carsten place for the last night, and to my surprise, he had a new bed!!! For the couch surfers!!! :D and I was the lucky one to conduct the opening ceremony >.<

跨年之旅 08/09 Europe trip part 5

Day 7
We arrived in Salzburg around noon time, we sms-ed Sarah (our first host in Salzburg who is going to host WY & AY, me n Jackie will goto our host-Florian's place only in the late evening) and she agreed to let us put our luggages at her place first :)
Without wasting much time, we stated our half day trip in Salzburg!!! :D
Salzburg is a small city, under protection of UNESCO. We had a map (offered kindly by Sarah) in hand and explored the city aimlessly at first :P.
We enjoyed the breath-taking sceneries of this small but exotic town, furthermore it was covered with snow on the day of our arrival! Double beauty! ^.^ This town is surrounded with rocky hills, just 500m outside the Sarah's apartment we can already see a rocky cliff wall!
I also just found out that the movie – Sounds of music was actually filmed here, right in Salzburg!!! (although I have never watched this movie, but I know it is well-famous!)


There is a river dividing the old and new town (which is a common sight in most city I suppose, for eg Budapest, and even my hometown, Ipoh :P ). Of course, the sight along the river was even more awesome!!! We spent some time cam-whoring there. At last, after spending much time drooling over the natural beauty of Salzburg, we decided our first stop of our visit – Mozart's residence!!!

Unfortunately, we didn't enter into the Mozart's residence because of the not-so-cheap entrance tickets!!! Well, we still got to snap a picture in front of it :) and spent some € in the souvenirs shop which is BAD :P
The chocolate, called Mozart's ball, is very famous in Austria!!!
Next stop, the old town itself!!! You have to visit the old town and you will know why Salzburg is under UNESCO protection :)
We strolled along the little streets of the old town, and realised it is getting dark soon, hence without wasting much time, we went to visit the cathedral. Well, it was like any other European Cathedral I think :) but I lighted up a candle for blessings inside for 1.5€ :D that made my visit there special! >.<

Then we went to the back of the cathedral, anticipating to have a look at the gigantic chess board! To our disappointment, the ground is covered with snow, so as the chess board; the chess pieces are chained up at the side. We didn't just leave of course without cam-whoring with them to compensate our losses >.<.

Just right above the hilltop in front of us was the fortress, but the girls were too tired to climb up there on foot, and the cable car to go up there cost 30++€ !!! Hence, we gave it up but chose to glance it from afar :P.

Salzburg still shines at night :)
Now, dinner time!!! or lunch+dinner since we hadn't eaten for quite some time, we hunted for a good place to treat our stomach for almost 1 hour and finally we found this particular restaurant, and we were glad we went there :).
It was quite crowded, sign of good food! :D nice cozy atmosphere, and of course finger-licking good food!!! I had myself a cup of hot gluewine (the one I had in Munich), and a set of pork knuckle!!! :D a very scrumptious meal!!!

It was time to get back to our host place. We went back to Sarah's apartment, greeted her goodbye and took our (me & jackie's) luggage and headed to Florian's place! We love Florian's apartment, very spacious and we had a room to ourselves! :D Florian is a very cool guy, he immediately jumped into agreement with our suggestion of going out to have a drink with Sarah and WY+AY. Well, what can I say, it turned out to be a blast!!! 6 of us, 2 locals+4 foreigners took the light away in this Irish pub, we had so much fun together and attracted numerous attention towards our table! :D Even Florian and Sarah mentioned that it was the craziest night they have ever had in such a long time >.<

we continued to a club after LOADS of beer in the irish pub and shaked our butt off!!! What a wonderful and awesome night it was!!!
P/S: 2 of us (not me >.<) suffered hang over the next day on the train to Vienna...hahaha)

跨年之旅 08/09 Europe trip part 4

All the cool people :)

Day 5
After waking up, we made ourselves some breakfast and getting ready for a walking tour around Munich city! Unfortunately, our host Jeff wasn't feeling well that day, hence Dennea, Michael and us took off without him. Our tour guide that day was Aussie, a very interesting guide I must say, very humorous, the tour would had be much more fun and informative if there were not too many people and not too COLD. Nevertheless, we had fun. ( Aussie mentioned that Munich actually is not a city to be visited during winter, instead it is better to visit till Octoberfest in October (duh~). This is because most memorials in the old town are on the ground; during winter, all of them will be covered underneath the snow and nothing could be seen! Luckily, it still didn't snow when we were there.)

Our first stop is the Karlsplatz, aka Stachus, it is located at one of the 4 gates (north, east, south, west; I can't remember which one :P) leading into the old town.
After some introduction on the history of Munich, we continued our way to the old town and we stopped by this interesting church (the top right hand corner picture)(once again, I forgot the name of it =.=). The church was under renovation, it has 2 towers, the north and south, and the picture shows only the north?(south?whatever) one, which is a few cm taller?(shorter?whatever) than the other.

This church had a very interesting story behind during its construction, because a devil's help was asked in building it. In exchange, the devil requested the church shouldn't have any windows and the architect agreed. However, when the church was done, from inside standing right at the entrance (bottom left most picture), no windows can be seen really, but in fact, they are actually just blocked by rows of pillars. The devil felt cheated and got furious and hence he stumped on the ground of the church, leaving a foot print behind(bottom middle picture), U.S. size 12 as Aussie said >.< . (AY was curious and asked: devil wears shoes? Aussie overheard that and said: Devil wears Prada! LoL~)

Alright, let's move on, we were now back to the square where we came last night after shopping, now we got to see it in the day! We made it on time at 12 noon where the bell started to ring and 4 songs were being played continuously, furthermore, on top of the middle tower, there were live-size statues 'dancing' along with the song! Awesome!

A parking lot for dogs! :D FOUND ONLY IN MUNICH


After the songs were all played, we moved on and visited another church (dun ask me, once again, I don't know the name =.= ) and then we came to the beergarden! Munich, the capital of Bavarian state, is well known with its BEER!!! Octoberfest is the world famous event every year held here in Munich, where people will gather in the beergarden, and what do they do? They drink BEER of course! :D No water is to be allowed inside the garden! If you bring along a water bottle, please place it under tha table, not on top! When you are here, only enjoy the beer!!! and maybe some sausages too :) (Jeff told me he set his record during the Octoberfest when he drank 7-8 L of beer one day!!! O_O )


Next, we visited the memorials left during the WWII and Nazism time. (this is where all the memorials are all on the ground, hence if it snows, nothing could be seen!)


The walking tour ended here. We ( 4 of us, Dennea, Michael, and Thomas) continued our trip to the Olympic center!!!


We went back to the apartment approximately 6pm since we need to get ready for the PARTY to night!!! It was new year's eve!!! YES, we went to a club, a very BIG and COOL club – M-park, where buffet was served in the earlier part, and later on it was PARTY time!!! We danced our ass off!!! LoL~ there was even a airbrush tattoo station and of course we got one ourselves! :D When the clock hits 12am, all of us were already outside joining in the count-down fun and fireworks were lighted up! Everyone hugged each other and wished HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! :D Most people there thought we were japanese and tried to greet us in jap, whatever...LoL~ After that, let's continue to party!!!
(I am on clubstars.net! http://www.clubstars.net/pix/categories.php?cat_id=10197&page=17 )


We left at around 3am and collapsed straight...ZzZ
That's not the end...guess what? We managed to wake up the next morning at 9am and went to the Dachau concentration camp!!! On the New Year Day!!! We were so determined eh??? :P Here it comes:

Day 6
Dachau concentration camp I don't feel like elaborate too much on this, it is depressing! A brief one, this camp was the first camp built up during the Nazis time where initially anti-Nazis politician or activist were kept and later on Jewish, Gypsies and other minority races were kept too and hence the Auchswitz concentration camp (the biggest one) was built near Krakow, Poland (I visited too last year). A lot of mass assassination were carried out here...aiks!!! Depressing~


Anyway, later that day, we joined Jeff and Dennea for a Couchsurfers gathering at night in a restaurant where we stupidly ordered half a DUCK each, yes, half a DUCK each!!! omg...that was a disaster, we couldn't finish them and we took away ^.^ (we continued the feast on the train next day on the way to salzburg...)

跨年之旅 08/09 Europe trip part 3

Day 4
We left early morning by train from Frankfurt to Munich, the capital of Bavaria. We had to transit a few times along the way because we bought a budget ticket, and it took us longer time, but save €€€! :)

Once we reached Munich main train station, we kept our luggages in the lockers and started our shopping spree!!! weeeee~
It was 30th December, 1 day more to New year, everywhere you see crowds rushing to shop!!! Of course, I joined in the fun too!!! >.<
Within 3 hours, I got myself a ZARA shirt, a ESPRIT jeans and a pair of C&A boots ^.^ I am all satisfied!

After this, we took some time to stroll around, while hunting for food!
The night view in the platz (aka square?) was magnificent.

In the end, we stopped by this restaurant called 'Tokyo' and had a sushi feast!!! Well, it was all you can eat, and we were not losing out >.<
the plates were stacked up sky high within seconds!!! hahaha...oopz
However, it was not the best sushi I would say, but enough to temporarily ease my crave for japanese food!

While we walked out of the restaurant with happily filled stomach, we stumbled upon this 'fireplace' so called The world's largest burn punch event!!! There was this giant fireplace right in the middle, with a bar selling the HOT gluewine (wine+rum+cinnamon) right underneath it, and surrounded with stalls selling sausages and a big crowd!
We were curious, and thus we got ourselves some wines too! :) and I was glad I tried the wine, it was served hot! (during the winter time, a cup of hot drink is much appreciated!!!) I just love the taste of the wine!!! yummy~


We spent some time there and realised it was soon the time to meet up with our host in Munich – a couple, Jeff and Dennea! :) They were from California, wanting to migrate to germany and currently they are still studying.
We went back to the main train station and met up with Jeff in front of Starbucks. He then led us to another restaurant which was used to be a beer cellar, named Augustiner! He was with another bunch of couchsurfers, having their dinner there; since we had ours, we just had some beers and joined in the fun! :)
The place was spacious, we sat inside the underground tunnel used to store big barrels of beers!!! It was a really cool place! Everything is gigantic inside, giant beer barrel, giant glass of beer, giant benches and tables! :D


Finally, after the dinner, we followed Jeff and Dennea back to their cozy studio apartment where we shared the night with another friend, Michael from Texas. :)
