Get to know myself better...wor...

yeah, me again! :D
will be having a long weekends holidays soon, labour day on friday plus victory day(only applicable to Ukraine, sorry~) on coming Monday! yeah! I am already prematurely set into the holiday mood >.<

well, browsed through adwin's blog just and came across this personality quiz, he mentioned it is quite accurate for him, hence being the curious me, tried it out!

here is the result:-

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
(I agree on the "dun like conflict part",coz I will be totally freak out and dunno how to react!!!)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
(my horoscope says that, my bday says that, but I am not an experienced lover, feedbacks are needed here >.< )

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
(I think so...)

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite party. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.
(Plenty of dates huh??? hmmm... but I really sucks in telling lies, and sometimes too absurdly straightforward, sigh~)

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
(4 limbs up!)

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
(Totally true! and that is the reason why I am in this field now =.= and my mom and uncle always said it's better for me to get a stable job without too much risks involved, I am just not a business person)
(Hmm...but I always fantasize to be in the entertainment field, be it a DJ, a TV host, a model (ahem) etc. Shit, I don't want to be set for life!!!help!!!)

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
(shit, meaning should i have a go at the career I would like to have??? any recommendations or lubangs please??? :D but i am getting old~~ :( )

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
(true true true...or i will just smile and smile and smile to cover up how I feel.)

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.
(a point to ponder upon...)


totally wasted in a KTV lounge, Tokyo, Summer '08... PeAcE!!! :D

My new gym

After my italy and conference trips, i finally resume my gym routine! yeah!
and this time, i switched to a new gym! a new one just behind my hostel! and a posh one! >.<

It has the standard of Msia's Fitness first or California gym, plus it is NEW, which means all the equipments inside are FRESH! (without sweat stink, which was a common scene in my old gym)

I like this current gym because it is too bloody near!!! it is just across a bridge (yeah, my hostel is just next to a park with a river flowing through),and i get to go whenever i want even just for 30mins on a treadmill!!! (it feels so good after a run and sweat it out!)

and I have a BIG mission this time :) I aim to increase my weight from current 64 (gained 1kg in past 10days) to perhaps 70? >.< (or maybe 68) !!! see how it goes!!! :O it is quite unbelievable, even to myself! haha...fingers crossed!

hence, everybody, let's get buffed! at the same time, stay fit and healthy! and HAPPY of course ^.^

I love Cologne, I love Amsterdam!

Another post on my ex-trip!!!
Well, this time round, we had a breakaway to Amsterdam! Via cologne, Germany! 
Cologne, Germany
We flew in at 6am to cologne airport!!! It was damn bloody early! >.< Luckily, our dear Jackie prepared sushi from home and we had a wonderful sushi breakfast at the central train station before we started our one day trip in cologne!
Maybe we were too tired from lack of sleep (we slept in the Kiev, Ukraine airport the night before and took a 4am flight to cologne), we were basically walking around like zombies, but still we keep the tourist spirit high!!! :D
This is the famous Dom just right outside the central train station.


When you are in Germany, you can never miss sausages! And surprisingly KFC sells hotdogs too at only 1€!!! What are we still waiting for?!?!?! Grab it! Yummy~ ^.^

We even took some “visit cologne 2009” pictures for the tourism poster!!! >.<

After half a day, we were too tired to continue walking and we came out with a brilliant idea, since we had a day pass, we simply hopped onto a bus and let the bus carried us to the last station, and returned to the first station again. We had a good rest and sleep on the way!!! Kekeke…
We caught an evening train to Amsterdam and reached there at midnight. Fortunately, our very nice host we found on couchsurfing were there to welcome us!!! :D and even kind enough to offer us an empty apartment to stay! Yeah! We called it a day and knocked out once we were at the apartment! Finally, some sleep!

Amsterdam, Netherland.
We started the day GREAT by visiting the SEX museum!!! Yeehaaa~
It was an eye-opening experience especially at the animal sex section!!! 0_0

During noon time, we have Oskar to join us from Gothenburg, Sweden!!! (we met during my previous trip there.)
We travelled some distance out of city to the windmills!!! The weather started to turn slightly bad, with drizzles, yet we were enthusiastic!!! >.<
We visited the clog factory first! The clogs inside were so beautiful!!!and so colourful!!!


Each of us bought one pair!!! >.< (yeah right…haha)

Then we dropped by a wooden handicraft shop…actually main purpose is more like to stay away from the chilly and drizzle out there…>.<

Let’s have some snap shots with the magnificent windmills despite the bad weather.

We were sort of hungry, and what can be better than to visit the cheese factory!!! Yummy!!! Lots of different cheese inside for us to try, I love most except those with goat milk, too pungent taste : P (I love mutton but those are too strong for me).

More windmills!!! :D


Another highlight of the day, we got to meet a friend of my mom who had been staying in Amsterdam for years!!! Aunt Lin and her bf, Uncle Tony were so hospitable and treated us a feast at this HK restaurant, finger-licking good food! I still miss the prawn dumplings :P

They even volunteered as temporary tour guide and showed us around the red light district!!! How cool it was!!! :D They were travel angels to us indeed! Next time when I visit Amsterdam again, I am offered a place to stay at Aunt Lin’s!!! yeah~ Once again, thanks so much Aunt Lin and Uncle Tony, hope to see you around soon!!!

Another cool thing was I got to meet Joanne, my asean scholar friend back in Singapore, right in Amsterdam itself! She happened to fly in from Budapest (from Singapore at first) after attending a conference there to meet her friend from Greece. We hanged out for an hour or two, caught up with each other, had some real good time!  Pity that we didn’t bring our camera along!
Zzzz…
The very next day, we made a tour to the Heineken factory!
We got 2 free beers inside and got an insight of how actually the beer was brewed from barley.



Let's brew the beer!!!

Overall, it was an interesting and fun exploring journey!

We also visited the big slogan of “I Amsterdam” and also walked past the Ann’s House. We walked past the Dam square numerous times.
We smoked marijuana too!!! We took magic mushroom too!!! Aaaahhhh~
Near evening time, we took a train back to Cologne where I spent my birthday eve there!!! Yeah!
I went pub crawl the whole night! Awesome experience!!!
Then, very early next morning at 5am we had to travel to Dortmund and fly back to Kiev, Ukraine. Needless to say, I was totally wasted on the journey home but it was all worth it >.<
I LOVE Cologne, I LOVE Amsterdam! Hehe~

We went for a ballet show!

sorry my dear readers!!! it had been quite some time since i last updated, was kind of busy, just came back last thursday from a medical conference in Kiev, Ukraine.

well well, this post is sort of out dated too, but late better than never! >.<
I have probably mentioned before that i 'used to' give an ukrainian girl chinese tuition here, and both her mom and granny are ballet masters, and the granny was choreographing a ballet show named "chinese legend". She needed some chinese words on the front drop, with a dragon drawn, some words to welcome especially the chinese who attend the show. This family really loves chinses :).

I still remembered I just arrived into the Kiev, Ukraine airport that day in late January, just arriving from Oslo that i got her call in asking me to help her in coming out with some nice sentences for her front drop and it was kind of a last minute thing. I promised and came out with this after a night, well, not too perfect, but I think it is fine >.< (my roommate helped out too!)

The premiere show was during end of February, when i was away in armsterdam, hence i didn't make it, luckily there was a repetition in mid-March. I invited a few friends along and promoted to some others, I enjoyed the show very much! and especially excited to see the 2 lines of chinese characters being portrayed up there on the stage! :D
The mom on the extreme right with her little ballet students in front, and the 2nd from the right is the granny playing a role in the show too! :)

Although it was just a very small part of participation in this great performance, it brought back a lot of fond memories during school times when I got to be in the committee organising a grand performance! I think I really like it and miss it. :)

aahhh...I always fantasize of entering the entertainment business >.< ... don't laugh!!!
