VEVEY

OMG!!!! :D super totally happy that i can come online and use the computer again! i'm so ecstatic i think i can do like 99328902849032 cartwheels if i could! :DDDDD we're at our new hotel, in switzerland! finally got the wireless connection in the room working! we were at it for so long last night! after alot of false alarms (and hearts skkipping beats), we finally successfully established a connection!!!! YAYE (: but actually before that i couldn't take it anymore so i payed SFr.10 just to go online for one hour! (that's equivalent to about S$11 : /)

well without further ado, here's the 3rd blog entry i typed out a few days ago! (:

***************

I LOVE SWITZERLAND!!! :D switz has officially found its way onto my list of countries i could possibly live in! ( : OH MAN the view everywhere's AMAZING! they even call this place an "open air cinema".

the flight here from amsterdam was fast! it was only an hour long :D muhahah. got to use the internet for about an hour before departure! not that many people were online, but i was able to talk to some people i miss terribly! (: i had such a hard time multi-tasking under time pressure then. i had to resize photos to upload here, blog, and chat at the same time! thus the very hastily-written and un-edited entry. sorry peeps. but i had such an adrenaline rush afterwards coz i was so happy to talk to friends back in sg! (:

arrived at the zurich airport and took a 3 hr long train ride to Vevey, where we are now :D got lost on the way coz we got off at the wrong stop. i was perspiring by the time we reached coz i was dragging dad's heavy suitcase since i didnt wanna bring my unstable one : P HAHA. i haven't perspired in so long! i somewhat miss the hot weather back in singapore.

whoohoo gibby looks like einstein! hahahaha super funny! this was in the airport!
on the train! check out gibby's signature quizzical brow and me and my OJ (:

finally in Vevey! guess what? they've got BATA and MARCHE (maybe you can spot the logos)! but MARCHE is some grocery place. : P

the bed & breakfast (BnB) we're staying at is SUPER DUPER INSANELY NICE. we're not staying in a hotel, but at someone's house. it's SOOOOO NICE here i tell you! i wanna buy this house! or smth like it at least :D you should see our room! it's so COOL and HOT like one of those IKEA displays, except this time we actually get to use the stuff ( :


the oh-so lovable BnB! <3 id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071941776158687986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdw3sWKyLb8_pWjC_WYqyKca6EBkPnNkgqVcAYCoj3DSb-vvf8ECTTeTK7HKXf6wywIC0j1Tk9rNdUcmO_O8o-dA4_QE0mPB7jfqPqdoAVWmLvx43DJT8lMEVQaSjpc7omj5t_RA/s320/P1050208.JPG" border="0">MACDONALDS!expensive food!!! it cost us SFr. 47 in total!!!!!!! : O so that's close to S$50!

tday we took a boat to um, forgot the name of the place.... MONTREAUX i think! we went t see the CHATEAU DE CHILLON. it's this really and i mean really old huge castle! nearly turned into ice on the way there despite my 5 layers of clothing! : O OMG i refused to take many pics coz i looked so gross and fat with all the layers : / the castle was, well, old. haha. quite interesting i guess. but i was too busy trying to feel my toes (they were numbing) to really take time to appreciate the place.


spotted this huge B&Js! there's ice cream all over europe yknow!!! LOVE IT MAN! actually i've tonnes of pics with ice cream already, just that i wanna upload them all in one shot when we get back. :D so wait for that.
check out our boat! (speaking of checking out..... hah)


swans! they're so nice and graceful!

nice nice nice view of the castle and city from a window high up in one of the towers

we gobbled down some lunch at a greek restaurant afterwards! man, i feel a hole burning in my pocket. and it's freaking hot and scorching my leg!!! HAHAHH. we are poooor. ): but the food was good! i think i'd rather spend my $ on pigging out than on sight-seeing! hahah. and i'm guessing i've put on weight!! D: rawr.

karissa's little clique followed us around again. the senior citizens. D: they're seriously all over the place! thought abt it abit then came to the conclusion that we kept seeing oldies coz the place we went to were places they'd be interested in. which brings me to my next point: my parents planned this trip to be educational.... not so much pure fun, but it's like a learning journey in a way. not that im totally ): about it. it's just that sometimes i just wanna go do more normal stuff. like see what life is like in this country.. like going shopping for instance! (haha) or just having loadsa fun and doing stuff that teenagers would usually do. like visit amusement parks or go snowboarding and those kinda stuff. not that im really complaining.

WELL anyway. it was such a rainy day and that got me down. plus my shoes and socks and pants were already wet by the time we were on our way home. it put me into a bad mood. and as usual, everyone was shutter-happy and armed with 3 cameras, but i refused to take any pictures! heh. really bad mood. D:

the lovely view near our BnB! (: pretty yellow flower


OK. i dont have that much to say anymore. got to go t sleep soon coz its almost 1 AM here (7AM singapore time! GOOD MORNING PEOPLE! :D) and we've to wake up early tomorrow. oh man i wanna see some snow! the owners of this house said that it snowed like a few mornings ago!!!! ) : WE MISSED IT. UBER SAD MAN. i think i'd kill to see falling snow! RAWR.

so keep those emails and tags coming in, Bcoz i miss you all badlyyyyy! yknow in my handphone calendar, i changed my memo on 9th june from "back to sg ):" to "back to sg (:" haha! anyway i dont think i can receive your smses anymore because my hp, as usual, ran out of $ (its prepaid! !@%^@!#$^#@!). so unless a kind soul out there wants to topup $15 for me from back there, im pretty much uncontactable by phone. how saddd ): AU REVOIR!
