Gone Dutch June 28, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — 家利 @ 2:56 am

Well well, we’re back from the Dutch capital & back on campus! Shh.. We’re leeching off accompanying our dear Anthony. It’s practically impossible to get outside accomodation because of Jodlerfest. Practically the whole of Switzerland is in Luzern at the moment! The riverside along the Bahnhof til accross Seebrücke and Old Town is dotted with little wooden stalls of food and merchandise. But that’s as far as my eyes can go from where Bus 21 is..

 

Board(Bored) Game Night June 24, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — 家利 @ 2:51 am

Because the school population has almost completely disappeared, we had access to all the recreation ‘facilities’! I had to re-learn my bike riding with Damian with much shrieking on my end. -_- A few baskets with the ball (no I didn’t get hit on the face) .. Pool table and fussball was unoccupied for once, and then it was Game of Life and a round of Scrabble right in front of football telly. Ending off with Monopoly at all of 4am! Haven’t slept this late since dissertation, lovely? Hahaha..

Off to Holland for a few days before returning to the humidity-strickened land of overpriced infrequent public transport, abundant 24 hour eateries and my lovely super single bed. :D See ya when I see ya!

A silly video capturing a little of what’s normally not seen after people toss their mortar boards. I still have a bruise on my hand from Take 1!

Fell in love the first time I heard it :)   By The Fratellis. I like most of their songs but this one got me paying attention..

 

Timely Arrivals. June 15, 2008

Luzern says a big Willkommen! =)

Met Jill at the Bahnhof yesterday evening. Very terrible cos it was then that I found out tram tickets have to be purchase OFF the tram. Embarrassing leh, 6 months here already. 

Off to Zurich after lunch for shopping miscellaneous hotel admin. And then to the Kloten-Flughafen later tonight to meet my uncle and aunt and then pick up the parental units a.k.a Mom & Pops. Su’s family are also arriving on the same flight. Think Kelvin as well. Very coincidental! :D

Yes, yes.. I’m showing off with this fancy speak of German names (which is sadly, all I know). Next post when I have time off from trying to be a tourist guide for my family, haha.. Ciao!

The TV has been left perpetually on, alternating between CNN, MTV, random dubbed serial, CNN, MTV.. Or VIVA – the Swiss equilavent of MTV. Then the after midnight, free-to-air erm, porn. With plots. *weak laugh*

Right. Oh and then of course there’s football nightly now! We’ve all been watching football with German or French commentary here, although ”bien jouer!” very much sums up what I can make up. It means good play, lah. -_-

The song’s nothing special, just thought the lead singer sounds incredibly like Emil Chau! :D

Back to pottering about my luggage. Tchüss!

45 nerve-wrecking minutes to go.

 

Two more days. June 6, 2008

My legs ache..!

I can’t believe I was breathing the same air as Brad Pitt the day before and NOT SEE HIM! I was barely 2m from Owen Wilson yesterday :D

Euro 08 kicks off tomorrow, maybe they’ll have a giant screen somewhere. Mm..

Wonder if I still can join Uncle Richard & Aunt Ade before Mum & Dad arrive..

Time for bed. Much love! =)

Hello Lovely! =) Send me a message when you see this. Haha.. *hugs*

 

Pain pain. June 4, 2008

最低一天两百元, 但这钱真还难赚。What to do, 我们是亚洲人。=P It’s rather surprising (at least to me) that we are all perceived to have poor command of English. That is quite a joke.. Oh well. And after being on my toes (in fucking 3-inch heels) for 12 hours yesterday, have this weird sensation that I dislocated a toe.

But there it goes, today marks the end of my lovely Vincci flats I brought to so many places.. I cannot get a new pair because I reach town before and after opening hours. *BIG SIGH* Back to my heels tomorrow. Seriously considering forgoing working the weekend now.

I dislike all these what-ifs shit.

I really do.
