SANTA SAID: U ASKED FOR A MERCEDES, I GAVE U A MERCEDES..

N U ASKED FOR SNOW!!! SO I WILL GIVE U SNOW!!

*THANK YOU SANTA!! I REALLY BELIEVE IN U NOW:>*

Cant remeber when did this Germany tour idea came up, initially we couldnt decide which part of germany should we go, just know that we are going to enjoy the xmas market, then was a choice between cologne or munich, or to munich then cross over to Austria..finally we decided to drive from Freiburg to Karlsruhe via black forest, will spend two days in black forest, n then took a train from karlsruhe to munich.

At freiburg, we marked out the route that we wanted to take to triberg, I thought I have choosen the perfect way, i mean, u want to go some where fast n easy without any complication, u take the express way, simple !!

However, our lovely Tom tom decided to do it another way, he is one good fellow who will do anything to bring u to the destination through the shortest even that means u have to take a smallest road on the universe as long as it is showing up in the satelite!!! N i think it brought us to triberg via the snow mountain that we have seen before we start our journey:>> COOL!!!!!!!!

GOOD THING HE DID THAT!!!!!

AND WE GET TO SEE SO MUCH SNOW!!!!

U THINK THIS IS ALOT?? TILL U SEE LATER:>

this is alot!!! n is still falling from the sky!!!

WE HAVE NOT SEEN SO MUCH SNOW BEFORE !!!WE GOT ALL EXCITED N STOPPED OUR CAR BY THE ROAD SITE STARTed PLAYING WITH THE SNOW!!!!

As we drove thru along, it started snowing even more heavily, n we were all screaming in the car!!! AHH!!!!!!!!!! IS SNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But as we go further, we got quieter, our car started to sway abit, at one point we cant see any car on the road, n the tyre trail seems to be fainter as we drove further up, the car was already going like 40 km/hr but i still constantly said: go slow Darren!!!

n thats the time i decided to pull out my map n realised we were on the different route :>>

finally we arrived a small town called Furtwangen, stopped for toilet break, n the kind lady told us there is a clock museum at the town:>

Thank god!!!TRAFFIC LIGHT= HUMAN N CAR!!!!!
we were not trapped in the snow anymore:>>

N we drove int o the town, found he museum with some helps, i must say German people are soooooo nice n sweet n helpful!!!!!!!!!!!

n then in the museum I saw my first cuckoo clocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lots n lots of them, later we know that furtwangen is actually a holiday resort,once again, have to thanks tom tom bringging us there:>

*Wongs are every where:>*

After the clock museum, we went to the near by xmas market to have some lunch..


standing under the tent in the snow having some egg roll soup with the local- best experience ever!!!!! I had two bowls of them:>>

After we had our lunch, we quickly jump into the car again to take off to triberg, we were on the tight scedule!!!! Have to go triberg n then have to go look for our hostel in ottenberg!!! Triberg is only 16 km away, but that is the most beautiful journey that we had on our entire trip!!!

I have only seen these in a post card or a calendar!!!!

N now is in my camera!!!!!!!!

When we arrived triberg, snow were much lighter..n we trekked up to the water fall near the town:>

There is only one word - COLD!!!!

And Fang Feng had time to make a snow man!!! Abit handicap, but non the less, a snow man:>




And we had a snow ball fight as well!!



And later in the town we visited the house of 1000 clocks n bought my first cuckoo clock:> there are so many choices!!!!! I dun even know where to start!!! And finally I chose this

THIS LITTLE BEAUTY COST ME 179 EURO!!!!! VERY FORESTY..GOT A DEER N BIRDS N PINE TREE!!!ONE DAY CUCKOO CLOCK !!!!:>>i AM HAPPY!!!!

Was planning to to buy another small cuckoo clock but upon paying I spotted this nice cow clock instead:> 62 euro!!! I bled my wallet out at the second days of the tour n have to carry this two babies for the rest of my journey...

THATS NOT THE BEST PART OF THE DAY YET!!!!

SANTA SAID: NOT ONLY I WILL GIVE U LOTS OF SNOW, I AM GOING TO MAKE U GUYS PRINCE AND PRINCESS, LET U STAY IN A CASTLE!!!!

YES!!! IN A CASTLE!!!!

STAY TUNE:>>>>>>

Germany here we come!!!

Has been a long time!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry i have been so lazy in updating my life:> Lots has been happening I have been really busy with work n stuff..

Anyway, finally we are back on trip again!!! My last holidays was only like 3months ago but it was like forever ago!!

Germany was choosen in this cold winter month mainly for the xmas market n the ever attractive cuckoo clock:>

and the best thing is WE GOT OURSLEF A DRIVER!!!!! He he.. the idea of driving thru black forest during the winter months properly is the craziest idea of all!! But hei!!! that what we want!!! SNOW!!!

The arrival at the airport was kinda confusing, being the airport located at the middle of 3 countries- switzerland, germany and france.. the call it Basel-freiburg-mulhouse international, and we got out form the germany site, then we figured it will be much faster for us to get to freiburg by going into switzerland site and took a train from there.. so we entered the swiss site again..after all the moving n hopping around the two countries, finally we settled at the freiburg train station n waiting for our car!!(So tecnically we actually been to switzerland as well:>)

At the rental station we were joking that they might give us an mercedez benz.. n yes we got one, not the model that I was hoping for but is good enuf:>

Also we got ourselve a TOMTOM!!! Poor tom tom has to constantly recalculate the journey for us:> I am still not quite sure that having tom tom was a better idea than reading map, I always enjoy the process of looking for places through map, Tom Tom save u the trouble but u wont remember which route u used..n u have to constantly listen to the instruction incase u miss the turn n stuff.. anyhoo...

Tom tom did manage to help us find our hostel:>

Germany hostel is always clean n tidy n neat:> Having say the I still get bitten from bed bug at the end of the trip!!! Is just me i supposed-_-

After we settled in the hostel again we went back to the town for xmas market:> Our first xmas market!!!

lights n noise n small little things that they sell!!!! N u cant help feeling the festive season is just round th corner !! even though it was raining non stop n freezing cold, it din stop people form coming out ..

They are more photes!!! Will show them in other post!!!

We had our dinner at the market, german sausages and potatoes rosti, We all loved the potatoes, n that become our regular snack for the rest of our journey:>
Stay tune, more to come:>

Santa said: U ask for snow?? N I give u snow!!!!!!!!!!

Finally!!!! After all the traveling around !!! Back to reality, time to really sit tight and concentrate at work, well, at least till next month- one more course coming!!!

First thing first, I have so much to talk about DENMARK!!!!
First of all, thank you to this lovely family that willing to take me in:> It was a great experience.

And the things that I have to talk about is FOOD!!!!
I love their food!!! I guess because JP's mum(Ingrid) is such a great cook:> People who know me well should know better about me n pork!! I HATE PORK!!! I never like to eat them unless they r processed.. N GUESS WHAT!! I have been eating pork everyday since i get to Denmark n I LOVED IT!!!!!

First day supper- home made meat ball with potatoes salad!! I was a bit skeptical initially, but I had 3-4 pieces!!! N no taste of pork at all!!! Well I guess thats the key part- it does not taste like pork!!! maybe thats y i like it- means I still dun like pork that smell pork????

Anyway, day 2, the famous meat loaf n bacon roast!!!! Grace Hubby starved himself for whole day just for this!! And I must say- This is the best!!!! the meat, the potatoes, carrot plus the special sauces!!! i can never get enough of this thing!!

My second favourite thing is the tea time, after the heavy dinner, every one in the family will sit round the living room and have cup of flower tea:>

In a special tea pot:> Cute!!


And on day three, there was a dinner party at home, had to prepare the table..


And guess what we ate?

What else?? Baked Ham!!

With potatoes n salad!!!
super yummy!!!! Food has become such a highlight of this trip n we were looking forward to dinner everyday!!!

And Ingrid also prepare some jelly for the dessert, she put all kinds of berries and boil in the port, n collect the juice n cold it in the fridge..

And we had it with ice cream:> super nice dessert:>

The other thing that Ingrid prepared for us is "Cold soup". basically they mix sour milk/ lassi with youghurt and sugar, mix the together.

And eat with this special small biscuit or any other hting that u like to put in.
I put some cherries that I bought from market:>

And smash them- look beautiful.. But I would imaginethis is more like a breakfast dish, but hmm..they take it for lunch, only for hot summer day:>

something different, bit sour, alot like youghurt or lassi, lucky I am a huge fan of Lassi:> like it:>

Also the curry meat ball and rice:> As a malaysian, I cant hardly associate pork with curry. But the curry is not hot la, just got a slight taste of curry:> soft and tender meat:> yummy!!!

Danish hotdog!!! with special saurce n fried onion n pickles:> another classic!!


THE LAST BIT!!! save the best till the last!! yeah!! PORK CRACKLING!!!!! best thing that they can ever make!!!! Is a deep fried pork lard and fat!! Super fatty n crunchy n YUMMY!!! I had 1 pack every day while i was there, n i brought two packs home as well!!!! Wish I could bring more!!!

U can just imagine how high my cholesterol is now:>

Backed from Denmark :>
Most relaxing holiday that i ever been:> No schedule, no plan, no hurrying, no map!! Wong Yihuey went on trip WITHOUT MAP!!!!:> Chill n relax, thats what I need after my course:>
Good news n bad news!!

Had a boat party for Myra last week.. Lucky girl she is leaving for Canada!!

Rather small vessel, fit about 40-50 people..but the whole thing was abit over rated..food was awful, properly got to do with the price that we paid. All the good one was fully booked. And the boat was rocking so much at the beginning making me feeling sick n groggy..

After the food is Disco time!!!No one get to leave early:> It started from London eye and cruise all the way along the Thames till Hammersmith!!! Thames river night's view is amazing!!

Every one was so high after few drinks... Ajay even took off his jeans and showing off his hairy butt!! Not something that u would like to see in here anyway, save u guy from feeling nauseating..haha!!
Again, another successful outing with great company:>
All the best pal:>

On my way becoming a bed-pan specialist-_-

Woke up at 1300hrs, decided to go down town to top up my food supply. Out from the Piccadilly circus, I walked right into a large scale demonstration, large group of Sikhs people were chanting and shouting about something, of course i wont understand, but the banner was telling something about killing and abused of Sikh in India. As the group marched down the street shouting, i quickly finished my shopping and jumped on the train home.

Passed by Barons court grave yard on my way home, found a quiet corner to sit down , squirrels were getting all excitable by my presence, pigeons walking around expecting food,Old tomb stone lying still on the ground, All so serene and summery :> I sat there with the pleasant company of the dead and the alive, finished eating my Sushi bento, and read the Chinese news paper that i picked up earlier on. On the way out of the grave yard , a group of youngsters shrieking and throwing water bomb at each other, running around the old tomb stones. A friendly black guy on the bench smile at me and said: "what a happy day huh? " Ya,What a wonderful day, wonderful way to spend an afternoon:>



So glad that summer is finally here:>

COLD COLD COLD!!!!!!!! the sucky cold weather is killing me, n the heater in the room is not working, I am living in a freezer!!!!! My worst nightmare ever!!!! I WANT SUNSHINE N HYDE PARK N RIVER WALK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or atleast let the heater work again? please...

Anyway, quick update!! Exam over last week, atlast, n now will have to concentrate on assignment..hmm..i need some rest first..school tomorrow.. the will be another full week of work..n soon i have to go to ccu!!!!!!!!!! not sure will be good or bad, but i think i will be fine:>

Cant wait till the end of the course n my holiday will start!!!!!! Cant wait cant wait cant wait!!!!!!

Lots more
to be done but first thing on the list is Money for my holiday:> hehe..

ciao!! am i getting lazy in updating blog? ya..!! I am!! Summer coming soon:> will be more interesting:>

GOOD THING COMES FOR THOSE WHO WAITS!!!!!!!!!

Hehehe!! I waited so long for my LCD TV, n guess what!!! I got a super good deal on the net:> GBP 100 for a brand new 19" HD ready with digital free view n DVD combo:> Market price GBP 249!!! Ha ha!! i am so super happy:>

Thank thank u for the owner who is so nice, not only gave me a 15 pounds discount, also throw in a free atena:> Also thank u thank u wati for collecting it with me ans send her man to carry it for me:>

Anyway, i know i has been so lazy in updating my blog, nothing really much happening, other than Wati's birthday, baby christening, cant go to white cliff due to the sucky weather. And i am suppose to study really hard this two weeks BUT......instead i have been shopping n sleeping n watching tele..teehee..just have to pray hard that all my smart genes will be fully activated on the day of examination..

went to my GP for routine blood test n guess what- she refused to screen my cholesterol for me!!!!! Unbelievable, reason being is they dun do routine cholesterol check unless you are 50 years old and above!!! CRAP!!! No wonder so many people here are getting heart attack in their mid 30s or 40s !! Becos the crappy GP thinks that there is no need to do routine check even though the patient ask for it!! So instead of the blood test i got a whole print out from her about healthy diet!! Duh!!

Anyway!!! Good thing comes for those who waits:> N i am still waiting for that ultimate best thing that belongs to me:> hehe..

ciao ciao.. I will study hard!! Promise!!
