The story about how i evaporated this week~

=p

this title was inspired by pk on facebook like 15min ago...kaka~

NOTE: this post is extremely BORING! dont read until you are SURE u dont have nothing better to do.......

Alright,

LAST THURSDAY: sh texted me regarding to pk's birthday plan, so i went online, saw mj's mail and told her that i will be sending her the video tomorrow NOON when my parents are not in.

I planned it that way because my parents plus sister would be away to JB, dad was an external examiner for something.....i planned that i will be recording the video before i go to uni myself by train...i will be able to get a Mc Donald set lunch on my way too~

And that was my plan.

FRIDAY: When i woke up around 8am my mum told me there's a change of plan that they dont go in the afternoon anymore but at 9am. So i rushed and they dumped me at school before going away.......

I was thinking, okay, i will be sending it when i come back la~the whole house is mine so there shouldnt be a problem.......

However, the class that day was delayed.......so i only get to go back at 6pm...

I received a message from sh at 615pm, so i rushed and started recording

THEN, when i finally get everything done......i FOUND that my INTERNET ISN'T working.......

Apparently the whole block dont have any access to internet.......i can hear them talking and complaining outside......

SAT: i woke up early to check if the network recover, but it DIDNT.........so i waited and waited and waited...........................

THEN parents came back.......

So i help here help there wasted a lot of time...........The day just seemed to past just like that........

Dad told me that the network was affected most probably due to the election in KKB.........Texted and chatted with MJ and SUDDENLY i got this SERIOUS cramp...........

I went to sit in the toilet ------------>period.

okay, i was like: what a FINE TIMING!

Then the cramp became more and more unbearable and at one time i couldn't stand properly... My legs felt like jelly.....

Okay, i knew i couldnt do much about it, i went to bed after taking painkiller pill and wait for the cramp to go away..........It wasnt very smooth though i fell asleep after 2 hours.........Which i vomited twice before that......

I would say this is one SURPRISE attack cause i dont get this type of cramps recently anymore..

I actually slept in for the whole day, woke up in the evening, KENA from my parents saying that i didn't exercise la, i must be doing some fishy fishy stuff yesterday thats why so tired and blah blah blah blah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

=(

So in the end i sent sh my video through mms and went to bed............

MON: Woke up fresh but received a msg from mj saying sh didnt receive my mms........i was like.........".okay.......................i send it in uni then"

So i went to uni, had classes and before i went home, i sent the mail.

TUES: Receive a big news from dad early in the morning that grandfather is sick. Minor stroke. I have a class on 8am so we decided to visit after my classes at 4pm.

Whole day gone without having any opportunity to online or relax.

Oya, in between i have to fill in the forms and photostat documents for the Taiwan trip [by the way i am going to taiwan! it is a group trip 'jiao liu tuan' thing and its in DEC! too bad that u guys would be in uk already and it said that the participant has to fly from m'sia if not i would have tell u guys to come along......as for sh, since jeff already complained he has very limited time with you so i didnt say lo...the trip is 15days long]

A busy day...

WED: the classes were VERY packed too.... busy busy busy...and evening went to see grandpa again....................

Oya, bumped into desmond and i DONT KNOW what was i thinking, i booked a clinical examination practice with him on friday.......zzzzzzzzz...

i must be crazy...to add on my workload.....

THUR:

Finally get to online between classes and received this "system sent fail notification"(i cannot remember the exact term d............) email, saying my email to PK FAILED........

I was like:WTH!?!

I resent, and after 10 minutes the same thing came out again...

Going home with frustration, i have to force myself to study the clinical examination since i brilliantly told desmond we will have it on 930am Friday.

So i suffered from studying...............

ERM.........Hence this is my one week dairy where i EVAPORATED.........

ps: i am rushing to class now...so sorry if there's tones of spelling or grammar mistakes!

Pre-exam syndrome

Craziest ever thing I've done in this month...

From this....

To this...

VERY HOT LARRRR!!!!!

When exam's near..

My messy messy room. Long time no wash milo cup. McD expired vouchers. Expired roti. Rubbish. Rubbish. And rubbish.

Posted using my new phone :)

What a bad day

If you're feeling down, this might not be a 'bad day' post for you, it's really not a big deal, but I feel really really really down, hence the bad day.

What a bad day.

The phone I've been waiting for weeks just arrived today. I was so happy about it till I realised I have to unlock it so that I can use my O2 number. I tried to get the unlock code online, hence paid 4 pounds + to a website. In return, I've got an email, saying,

HOW TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE:
Option 1: Get your unlock code from Vodafone, ...
Option 2: Unlock your phone at a market stall/local independent seller, ....
Option 3: Unlock your phone with online retailer's code, ...
Option 4: Search for latest unlock software online, ...
Option 5: Unlock your phone with your own unlock clip, ...

You know I almost wanted to swear on it! 4 pounds for this @#$% email! WTH!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so I've decided to go to the 'market stalls' in Chinatown. That was already 10 to 5pm. I've French class at 6pm. So yeah I rushed to Chinatown, got a shop to unlock & install chinese for me. Then the shopkeeper said, you go out wander around for about 30min your phone should be done. Ok lor.. Go out lor. Then bought cake for dinner and ate outside the shop LOL. Then back to the shop, done! Then he asked me to check (and I was already can't wait to see). Then realised that Wi-Fi was missing! I asked him why and he said cuz it's the China version and China doesn't have a Wi-Fi Sony Ericsson phone YET so, like that lor. He helped me check the Hong Kong version also, but not out too. :( So he said, if you don't need the Wi-Fi then this version should work well. WTH!! The only thing I want from this phone is the Wi-Fi!!! I DON'T NEED IT?!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Lol so I asked him to restore it back lor. That was about 5.40pm already. Then wait wait wait.....6pm I texted YR to tell her that I'll be late. 6.04pm she replied, TODAY GOT EXAM!!! WTH? FINAL EXAM? We didn't even get any notice about it. It's not pop quiz you know, FINAL EXAM! The exam to grade our french level, and also, to get the cert! WTH! I DIDN'T REVISE AT ALL!!! Walao. But I couldn't leave cuz my phone is still being processed. (And I don't trust chinatown ppl so i couldn't leave). So I thought, since already late, late mar late lor, lagi best if I miss it, then can tell teacher she never told us so I never turn up lor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so I was really worried till 6.20pm (it's only 20minutes but it felt like ages!). Then the phone was done. BUT, it didn't get restored. It's some other OLD english version of Sony Ericsson. Ok lah there's Wi-Fi, but but, it's different from the original one already, no nice nice background and layout and all. :(((( Luckily the cute salesman returned my 5 pounds for not getting the chinese version, and unlocking was only 3 pounds. Yeah he's really cute. Heee.

Ok lah no time to think. Run run run. Actually I didn't run. I walked SLOWLY. LOL. And, guess what was in my mind. I kept hoping that one of the cars would come and bang me so that I won't have to go for the exam. LOL. Seriously. When I crossed the road, I thought, why no car one. >.< Then I reached the classroom. Everyone was busy doing the paper. And my teacher wasn't there. So I was sitting at the back daydreaming. Few minutes later another student came in. YAY I WASN'T ALONE! LOL. So both of us sat there and stare at the whiteboard. For quite a long time, 30min? Then the teacher came in and gave us the paper. And she collected the rests. So yeah, I had to do the paper. I did the paper while the teacher and students were making noise in class. HOW TO CONCENTRATE! :( And also I never prepare. HOW! Just screwed my test :( I have a strong feeling that I will fail the paper. UNLESS THE TEACHER IS TOO KIND. Which I doubt so. Brrr. The first question was to write a 180 words essay. (AND I HAVEN'T SEEN A SINGLE PAST YEAR BEFORE AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF FORMAT WILL IT BE) But both my flatmates did revise, and both of them did past years before. :( I DIDN'T EXPECT AN EXAM SO SOON. :( Ok back to topic. So the essay, I wrote about 100 words. Then my brain couldn't produce anything liao :(

Then after the test, on my way back. I felt so down. Thought about my phone. Thought about my french exam. Haihhh. And thought about my phone again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tomorrow I'll try to go to Vodafone to see if they can restore it. *praying hard*

What a bad day.

感言: Seriously this doesn't seem like a bad day. Lol. And I believe if I look back sometime later, I will be thinking - 小孩子没有看过世面. XD

The Surprises

WARNING!!LONG ENTRY!get a coffee or snacks before scrolling down XD

Is birthday the day you are longing for ever since you were a little girl?
I define birthday as the cake-day,just like duan1 wu3 jie2 we eat bak zhang,dong1 zhi4 we eat Tang Yuen,the only thing I'm looking forward is the cake!well,I dont really like those ceremonies where your family/friends have to sing birthday song(multiple languages =.='),lit up the candles(although I do like to blow them),make a wish in front of everyone having them to wait for you.Simply b'cuz I dont know what to do when the song is sung by friends,option 1: clap hands(make the tempo) and sing together with them,Option2:smile and look at them when they are singing,Option 3:look down until the song finished.Either way is making you awkward,dont you think so???

Yeah I know 21st-birthday is something special(b'cuz everyone says so -_-),but I didnt expect much.My family isnt around,they are the one who made my day for the past 20 years.I dont qi1 dai4 much for the presents as I WILL BUY it if I need anything(MJ KNOWS how generous am I when I'm spending my money XD).Out of expectation,I had the most Most MOST memorable 21st-birthday in my life,although I'm far from family,and my dearest/closest ever buddies.

One/two days before JS started to ignore me,he told me he fell sick after the trip to Peak District(which is a HALF-correct-statement),he needed rest,he needed to revise as he used up too much time on sleeping...Blah blah blah,so that I dont msn him wth.
On 23rd night(about 11pm),I couldnt tahan,I was too bored without having anyone to kacau and I wanted to sleep earlier after revising for the whole night,I send him a message on msn.

He did reply,''hey...'' I smelled fish,this was not the usual way he replies my msg.After that I went on bombarding him with lots of msges,no reply after a long wait.FISHY..

I was a bit frustrated waiting for his reply and went back to my bed to continue my revision.-Lonely- that was what I felt at that moment.Then,received Mj's text.
I couldnt describe how warm it was to receive a lovely birthday wish from her,especially at that time.''When is Sam leaving ahh?If not I can go to your place tmr night...'' FISHY FISHY FISHY!

About 10 to 12am,I received a call from JS,asked me look at the window behind me(I'm staying at ground floor).I was shocked,there he was,standing outside holding sth,showing me sth.......and I had my 1st birthday cake..

First surprise..

''Tomorrow is mine'' *grinning*,I didnt ask him much after that..

______________________________________________________________________

Morning,bz with my laptop,he helped me reformat it and I had no idea what's his plan for the day,I was told to get myself ready by 12pm -that's aLL-

This was the place I was ''led blindly'' to. Fine dining..

He made a reservation at 1pm,waitress led us to our seat and passed the menu to us.I looked around,really classy,till I dare not simply move around,afraid that I would do something wrong like drop something on the floor and everyone would stare at you.

The menu..I didnt understand 90% what's on the list.

Ok lar,at last he ordered all.These:

And dessert..

Atmosphere in the restaurant was really good,just that it makes you a bit stiff.Once stepping out of the door,I felt like I can resume my normal volume of my voice.

This was the second surprise.

_____________________________________________________________________

We reached home quite late,about 4pm and he told me we have to go out for dinner at around 6.30pm.Took a bus out and reached Strand at 7.30pm.

Once we get off the bus,we ''crawled' around at super slow speed,looking for the sign board.I tried to make him tell me where's the restaurant but to no avail.LIKE MJ =.=''

THEN,MET MY FRIENDS walking towards us shouting:''THERE!!!(pointing to our left).

SHOCKED

WHY MY FRIENDS WERE THERE and they werent surprised to see me!?

I turned my head to him--*grinning*

There were few more friends waiting inside the restaurant *touched*

Japanese food-buffet.Imagine that,this portion times TWO.
This times TWO.Seriously this is not the way to eat sushi lorr..

Cream and Cookies Cake.

Third surprise...

On the way back,I forced him to say everything out and only knew that,EHEM,MJ THOU,YOU ARE ONE OF THEM who planned this.He bought ticket down to London 2months ago,get the present few months ago,get my other friend involved in the secret dinner after Amsterdam trip..He told me there will be another surprise coming up,and that should be the greatest.I TELL YOU,I was totally drained of energy to think what's next zzz

Went back,online,chatted with MJ to confirm next day's lunch's venue and time. *now I know why MJ persisted to meet up on Sunday instead of Monday..There was indeed,the climax laying under the pages awaiting for the next day to reveil its truth(wth what am I talking about XD)

As usual,met up with MJ and chatted for more than 2hours without realizing it.I was warned not to open the present till I get home.How obedient am I,I used about 1hour to reach home with the tempting present sitting next to me.

Took a bath,then settled everything and sat relaxingly on my bed.

Open the paper bag,took out the orange coloured bag.(I thought it was that kind of hand-made bag MJ get from Honduras,LOL).Ta-daaa,body shop's products,LOVE THEM,seriously.THEN...

Realised that was not the only thing in the bag,an envelope..open...Winnie the Pooh CD...

Jumped off my bed,rushed to the laptop and insert the disc..JS ''seng mok'' enough to get himself busy with his work,leaving me alone indulging the content of the CD.

After watching the photos part(introduction)..my face was already soaked with my tears..Really miss the time in secondary school..ANd I didnt expect there would be videos following up,I thought the whole video was just like photo album.

Yuen Ling,Wu Jia,Sin Huei,Desmond's video...Wanted to give HUGS of appreciation immediately to all of you..THEN,the most shocking part..my family was inside too..I didnt know HOW BOTH OF YOU,MJ AND SIN HUEI get my family on video,shocking shocking SHOCKING,they are camera shy all this while even to take a family photo..

By the time finish watching the video,my room was banjir ==''

At first was this

Then...

cried hysterically..no kidding..i have saksi -_-

for more than 10minutes if not more.Then I only told by JS,what's going on and what was your planning.

Girls..ops..ah mahs...you'd touched the bottom-est,innest part of my heart and this will be the best-ever-present I ever received.When I looked back what were going on for the whole one-day-before,on the day and one-day-after 24th,it was like a sweetest dream,that makes me bu she de to wake up.The time you spent in,the obstacles you'd faced while making that video,I appreciate it.After the long,eventful day,I thought: what have I done to deserve you girls in my life?

*wink* A BIG Thank you again!To all of you.

Mushrooms!

Few statements about mushrooms:

• I love mushrooms!
• I've decided to spend the money I used to spend on meat, to buy my favourite 香菇.
• I used to love chestnut mushrooms, but, dinner with chestnut mushrooms only was a torture.
• My vegetarian meal tasted horrible until I bought 香菇.
• I told SH that by June I can plant mushrooms in my room due to long-time-no-clean.
• Few hours later I realised there were actually mushrooms growing in my long-time-no-wash bowl in my room!
• And PK said they were funghi!
• And I said it approximates mushrooms. I don't know bio so if it's approximately the same then it's the same.
• And PK asked, in math you don't put approximately the same Same as same right?
• And I said, approximately the same can be same with same.
• So, SH said, bio vs math = half dead = same.

Ok this actually has nothing to do with mushrooms.

Between the North and South America - Honduras (Part I)

Yeap people. I am back! It was such a torture with limited internet access there. Only got to online twice, the first internet cafe was run by the charity organisation in Honduras, which costs me 2 dollars for 10 minutes. How horrible! The second one was in the tourist area, 50 cents for 30 minutes! :)

My poor diary. Thanks to my forgetfulness this miserable mini notepad has become my diary for 16 days! Imagine how many pages I needed for each day. Lol.



Day 1 (The Flying Day)
A 9 hours flight, followed by a 4 hours flight, and a 5 hours flight after one night laying over in the airport. I was cursing those people who designed the arm rests for the chairs in airport. If it wasn't because of them I could have laid down properly and had a good night rest. Grrr. MAS is actually good in the hospitality - in the sense that, the stewards and stewardesses are young, and fit! Those in Continental airlines are all old and fat! Like, seriously. Anyway, they have a really cool touch screen monitor for entertainment! I was really excited about it. And thanks to that I've learnt a new game - Backgammon! [PK: I watched Twilight II in the plane! Not as good as the first one though] Me and my travelling partners were so blur that we checked in twice for the connecting flights, and printed 2 sets of boarding pass for each. XD

The picture of the day! The flight route before we touched down in Newark.

Day 2
Reached Tegucigalpa! It was so hot! Just like home! But it was really dusty over there :(

I find the buses there really cute! There's another type with the head looking like the lorry's head. XD.

And they are very LONGGGGGGG. (This the one with the lorry head)








Went to visit the famous El Picacho! It isn't as big as I thought though.

Something that you wouldn't expect. I didn't expect that either. They have TGI's Friday, Burger King, Baskin Robbins, Dunkin Donuts, etc. Basically, any fast food restaurant you can find in US, you can have it here. However, all these can only be found here in the capital, and some of them can be found in the tourist area.

The local food: tortilla wraps with red bean paste and cheese. Not my type :S They have lots of fried bananas too. Almost all of the dishes there have fried bananas. (not like our pisang goreng though, it's like the thin and crispy kind of snacks)

Tell me what is the paper clip doing up there on the fan. lol.

*Oh god! It's only Day 2*

Day 3

Oh no since I forgot to mention about this earlier I shall tell it now. There are few things to note in Honduras: You can't drink the tap water there as you can get Typhoid due to some reasons. And you can't flush toilet papers into toilet bowl BECAUSE the diameter of the pipes there are really small so it get stuck very easily.

There were two different organizations presenting two different models to help the poor.

FINCA - A microfinance bank formed by this organisation to give out loans for the poor who are unable to get access to the traditional banks. They even provide group loans for people who don't borrow the minimum amount required. High interest rate but lower compared to loan sharks.

CAJA RURAL - A rural bank formed by the villagers for the villagers which based in that village only. The shareholder invested in the bank, and the bank give out loans for villagers. The loan amount is smaller compared and a reasonably high interest rate applied but still lower compared to FINCA.

Although FINCA claimed that they're a non-profit organization, we still think that they are commercialised. In the evening we were sent to a very nice resort-like place. The driver said we were to use the highway to get there so I was expecting nice and straight smooth road. Mana tau it was just like when we're going to some ulu places in Pahang - with all the curvy roads. =.= At night, I talked to my team mates and I only found out that one of them is gay. I didn't expect something like that and I have never met someone who's not straight so I was quite shocked. (I didn't show it out la of course) But he's a really nice guy to get along with.

Day 4

Woke up at 6am to shower. Freaking cold shower >.< Done showering in 2 minutes? Lol. Departed to the village after breakfast. NOW I KNOW WHY DID THEY CALL THE ROAD HIGHWAY. On the way to the village, the roads were HORRIBLE and BUMPY! Like, for 2 hours of that. The driver was telling me, we're going there *pointing to one of the mountains*. FYI, there were many many many mountains in that area and THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME! Really 佩服 the driver. I felt like I was in a desert because, it was the dry season over there, and all trees are dried, can't really see much green plants. Ok back to topic. Then we arrived in the village. The community welcome us in the church (the only place with electricity in that village besides the school). Sang some of the local songs. Then they brought us to look around the village = climb from one hill to another. UNDER THE HOT SUN CUZ THE TREES ARE ALL DRIED WITH NO LEAVES. Everyone staying quite far apart from each other on the hills. Yeap literally on the hills. You really have to CLIMB to get from house to house. No proper road at all. And I slipped a few times (damn embarrassing). Really steep what, what to do. On the way back to church, one of the locals made some snacks for us.

The locals call this the "dog biscuits" since it's just like street dogs - you can find this everywhere.

Our lunch. With chicken, potato, tomato, carrots and cous cous in it. I only had the vege. Didn't dare to drink the soup because it's not made by filtered water (might get typhoid). Didn't dare to eat the chicken because that area is not really hygiene. But it was nice though.

There was a really cute kid showed us her school when we passed by.

Then back to church and talked to the Caja Rural committee to know how they are doing and what they need.

*It's only Day 4 and it's killing meeeeee*

*Ok stop here. Continue later*

Amsterdam!!!

My friends and I went to amsterdam,Netherland for 4 days.Amsterdam is quite a small city,from one end of the city walk to the other end of the city takes less than 1hour.The main public transports in Amsterdam are bicycles,tram,boat and car(less),and the traffic system is totally a mess.The road is shared by bicycles,trams,cars and pedestrian.Sometimes we didnt know we were walking on the road of cars/bicycles until we were being hon-ed.There are alot of canals in the city,like one every 2/3 streets.Amsterdamm is famous for its cheese,wooden shoes,prostitution(legal),drugs(legal,sold in ''coffeeshops''),waffles,pancakes and bir.People in this country are quite friendly,their first language is not english,but most of them do understand and speak simple english,so its not difficult to backpack in Amsterdam.

We took plane to Netherland,guess what,I forgotten that I was going to the other country and containers more than 100mL are not allowed,i threw ALL my SHAMpoo,Body shampoo,lotion at the airport,ALL NEW!!!!!!! T.T Other friends of mine ''ping ming'' drank water to empty their water bottle at the check-in area,HAHAHA.


The journey only took 40minutes!!even shorter than the time we took to go to airport.Once we reached at the airport,we wasted quite a long time finding the way to buy train tickets/where and how to buy,and it took us another 20minutes to go to city central.


Ta-daaa!Double-storey train.From train station to our hostel was the toughest part.There are alot of tram lines,and we couldnt find the tram line we were asked to take to our hostel,our hostel wasnt near to the city central.My friend decided to ask the information counter for confirmation.At last we were able to sort it out and reached hostel in full piece although we stopped at the wrong station XD




We booked queen-sized bunk,the hostel was fully booked,4 people sleep on the double-decker bed and this room was shared with 4 other backpackers(from US,they were friendly XD)





Their bathrooms are even better than my hostel's one XD
Breakfasts were included,but in backpackers hostel you cant expect those 4/5 stars hotel's breakfast,their breakfasts were simple,like bread,cereal,milk,eggs,buffet style.

Okay,after arriving and settled down,we walked around the city(30 minutes walk to the city central),but our hostel was near to the old main city,which was quite meriah also.We visited Dam Square,Royal Palace(didnt enter,expensive-7Euro),Red Light District,tried pancakes,brownies and waffles.

Dam Square
Actually it's just a statue,similar to Trafalgar Square in London,perhaps,London's Trafalgar square is even better XD

Royal Palace under renovation,and Red Light District was the highlight.

I only manage to grap 1 photo of this,camera is prohibited in this place.There are rows of shops with big windows.Each window/room is occupied by girl(prostitute) with bikini and the guys can choose which girl they like as they walking along the street.There are red light on the wall of each room,red light= the girl is available.

We tried the brownies and pancakes at Renes' Restaurant.

This brownies was AWESOME!

And later,we tried the pancakes from ''The Pancakes Bakery'',recommended by tourists from internet.I think this shop was really well-known,when we reached there(5pm+),the waitress asked us whether we'd reservation or not,and the shop was crowded with people.She wanted to tell us there's no place for us,but my friend asked her how long we need to wait,she went back into the shop and told us to wait for another 5minutes when she came out.So ''da-pai'' huh.

Banana and Nutela pancake,one for 9.95 Euro.Nice but not impressive,i prefer Haegen Daaz's pancakes with ice cream XD


THIS WAS SUPERB!!!!Dutch Pofferjes with cranberries,whipped cream and Kirsch(cherrie liqueur),one for 6.95 Euro

We also tried Australian pancakes,went to Australian because the pancakes and chocolates were attracting!!! XD

Although it was waffle from ''Australian'',but I think it was assimilated with the waffle from Netherland,'cuz I tried a waffle(no photo XD) bought from the market,it has exactly the same texture.It is different from the waffle in Malaysia,more chewy,out-layer is crispy and sweeter,you can actually ''chew'' the granulated sugar.I like the texture,it will be purrrfecttt without the granulated sugar,haha.

We were mad about the ''I AMSTERDAM'' logo in the city.



Tadaaaa :)

We went for a bike tour on the second day.And that covered cheese farm,wooden shoes,windmill and countryside of Netherland.It was really fun,BUT,the tour guide zzz cycled sOOOOO fast and me,budak bandar,always the be the last one among the group members,LOL,AND I FELL DOWN.Luckily no1 saw that,they were far more ahead than me,HAHAHAHA.



Pity the guys,they were helping the girls to take our stuffs while we were craziee taking photos of the windmill.


The cheese was really NICEEEEEE <3

Wooden shoes ;p

Super exhausted after the bike tour,which took around 4hours+.Later we hang out at the bar.

This is much much better than carlsberg,haha.
It costs 4.40Euro.In restaurant,one glass of tap water costs 2.00 Euro,same with that of Heineken,unbelievable O.O

Third day rained!!We went to Keukenhof Garden,nice,lovely garden with tulips all over,but it will be much prettier in the end of April.








hah,we also tried the McD in Amsterdam--McKroket





It is beef at the outer layer,but inside,it's kinda like...mashed potato+mayo,quite nice =))

Fourth day!We went to Kinderdijk,it's at the outskirt of the country.
http://www.kinderdijk.com/index.htm
Anyone interested can go to the website and have a look.My friend who found out this place,didnt know how long is the journey to travel there.Guess what,we took a train(30minutes) to another city and from there,took a bus(1hour 30minutes) to reach there!!But we stayed for like...30minutes then we went back zzzz 'cuz the wind was really really strong and we didnt know that,we only wore a thin jacket/coat,unbearable!
There are 19 windmills and in 1997 the mills of Kinderdijk were put on the World Heritage List of UNESCO.
I didnt count the number of windmills,my eyes were half opened all the time due to the strong wind,LOL.










Okiess,this was our last destination =)) On the last day,we were all SICKED of pancakes/waffles and other sweet desserts!!zzzz Craving for salty food although I used to love desserts for life XD

Overall it was quite FUN but abit tiring,haha,I ''collapsed'' for more than 14 hours the next day I reached London.When reaching London,I was really relieved:I AM BACK!!I cant believe London becoming so dear to me and wonder,next time when I'm back from Malaysia,will I feel the same,as in:I'm BACK to London again??Hahah.I took the wholeeeeeeee morning to create this blog ahh,EHEM,PHANG AMAK,U havent even post ur debate competition entry =P

Have a nice day ah maksss!! muacksss
