Last day in Switerland

Yeah... my last day in Switzerland.. Highly recommended to people who want to just come here n relax.. places to recommended are Interlaken, Spiez and Thun.. Well.. never heard before right.. before that me too.. but whoo... these 3 places are stunning man.. its a perfect place to just relax and drink beer.. like what army say.. relax 1 corner.. hahahahha.. So again.. i will tell u what i like n hate about this country.. for this is totally different from London.. more love than hate..

Like
Alot of things i love about Switzerland.. The people are fantastic.. esp in Interlaken.. Zurich is ok but still feel abit of racism in the air.. Interlaken is totally different.. i guess its bcuz its not a city area tts y the pple here are more friendly.. tts my guess..

Like i mention about london.. i think in UK and Euro, road user are damm friendly.. even if u r jay-walking, they will stop their car n signal u to cross 1st.. wow.. i love this man..

Weather during evening time.. afternoon is abit humid n hot.. but come to evening time.. whoo.. best..

Safe.. this country is relatively safe.. esp Interlaken.. not many blacks.. but when come to night time, they come out.. like cockroach... hahahahhaa... but still dont pose any threat cuz so far my 2 night here i only see like max 5 blacks.. hahahha..

Punctuality i think is something tt born in them..

Hate
Only 1 thing.. Freaking Expensive!! 1 meal here avg cost abt 25-35 SF.. freaking expensive right.. i cant believe it.. the cheapest is 13-15 SF but its salad.. so how to be full eating Salad.. wa laoz ehz.. so every meal here can at least allow me to eat 3 meal in singapore.. n my 3 meals is like ajisen standard.. wa laoz ehz.. sweat man everytime ask for bill.. hehe...

So think again.. i thought this place, esp interlaken, bcuz of its mountain surrounding n beautiful lake, is a nice choice for retirement.. but the standard of living.. think again man.. maybe new zealand is a good choice afterall.. not till when i experience myself their standard of living..

So tmr.. Italy, first stop, Venice..

Things i hate and like about london

Yeah.. so this blog u guys can keep it as reference ya..

Hate
well.. more things to hate than like seriously.. you see.. people always say the 1st impression is the most important thing.. The minute i touch down, the custom gives me lots of trouble.. ask me questions like, what are you doing here, how many days, which school, where is the school letter, where u going after that, why swiss, italy and france, why still come back.. stupid right.. no money obviously only these countries lah.. y come back, cuz in-out london is cheaper lah.. wa laoz.. not only me kana this, all my classmate kana also.. tt bring me to this question. Are they trying to protect their countries or they are juz down right racist.. i think the latter man.. hehe..

That brings me to 2nd hatred.. Racism.. didnt got it till i reach london after my school.. u see king cross is their main interchange therefore alot of people.. this fat guy keep trying to squeeze in between us (although he say excuse me) and its not tt i dont want to give way but how to give way when my bag is so big n there are lots of people behind and my friend is in front of me.. so this fat guy juz push me with his hand on my bag which make me nearly fall in front of my friend.. so i was like FUCK.. i shout damm loud till some of the people actually look at my direction. So this fat guy turn around n look at me.. obviously he know i am saying him.. it was too late u see.. i cant like sorry n turn away (kenneth told me they are damm Ham-Ji 1, so must act hiong hiong) so i stare right back at him. Just nice my 4 frenz turn around and ask what happen.. so this fat guy after tt juz turn n walk away.. na beiz.. (anyway if this fat guy whack me i think i will die in london loh.. hahahhaha..). Than the 2nd accident at london eye.. this drunken man was looking at me n saying something, so when we are each other, about to walk past, he shouted something at my face.. hehe.. once bitten twice brave.. i knew something was wrong already so i already keep staring at him.. so when he walk past me n say those racism stuff.. i stare all the way n still after walking past i still look back n stare at him.. i actually stood there n look at him.. he also stop, look back, thn after walk off.. wa laoz ehz.. so this is true, down right HAM JI.. but please hor.. when i did the 2nd stance, i had a swiss knife with me.. so please.. ok..

No chilli.. wa laoz ehz.. till i reach london chinatown.. really buai tahan liao.. went into a chinese restaurant recommended by my cousin.. the cheapest in town already.. finally get to eat some chinese chilli.. wa laoz ehz.. happy like F**K.. hehe.. but come with high price.. sianz..

Love
Love the weather man but minus the rain.. really unpredicated.. like i say in my previous blog..
Love the way they give way when driving.. they are really good road user.. even if u want to jay walk, they will stop n signal u to cross.. good.. if u suddenly want to turn left, they will also let u go.. not bad actually..
Love their punctuality.. when the bus say 1 min, really 1 min reach.. but when they are early, they can actually stop at the busstop n wait till its time to go thn they go.. cute..

cant think of any for now.. hehe.. will update when i remember..
Next check out the like n hate about switerland..

First stop - Switerland Zurich

Safety touch down at Zurich after a 1 hours 20 mins flight from London Luton Airport to Zurich International Airport.. Phew.. Internal Euro Flight more well known for their crashes so i was kinda afraid. By the way if u guys dunno abt my fright in taking plane.. it was after since i watch this show call Alive when i was in Primary 4 or 5. Its based on a true story.. shall not say more.. u guys go n watch it ya..

Abit boring here though.. well zurich was never a choice for me it was all bcuz of Swiss Alps at Interlaken but since we already here must as well stay a night.. indeed quite boring, apart from the Old Town and New Town, with some churches in it, nothing else.. Suppose to go to Rhine Fall, the biggest waterfall in Europe but thn was too tired bcuz of the early morning flight we took at london..

The hotel was damm nice lah.. wa laoz ehz.. cannot believe our eye when we check in.. wait.. dunno is a hostel or hotel bcuz we book it online through HostelBookers.com.. its like a boutique hotel loh.. will show u guys the photos ya..

Today Ah-Ku happy.. will blog 1 more post.. shld b something tt u guys shld take notice of.. hehe..

My First Very Blogging in UK-Bradford

Yo..

Lost with words actually.. Maybe still abit jet lag as UK is 7 hours behind Singapore time..

Am doing this while my lecturer is lecturing.. boring man.. spare me with this come mon.. i already print my report.. no way can i change my report already n i wont change it bcuz i come here to play n not work!!

Last night went grocery shopping and got a few stuff that i think will be enough for me to last 2 weeks of our dinner.. yeah.. save money.. about 10 pound each which is actually abt 23 Sing.. Actually in a UK citizen point of view, the supermarket stuff really cheap man.. haagen daz at 2 pound only, magnum white 3 in a box goes for 3 pound for 2. MOS and Gatecrasher CDs at only 10 pound each.. quite tempting to buy bcuz this type of genre cost abt 30-40 bucks in Singapore.. hmm...

Makan here is slightly more expensive than singapore. KFC cost abt 4.99 pound, which is about 10plus.. But it come with 3 piece chicken, 2 hot wing n 1 crispy strip.. too chicken so i buy a colesaw.. the chicken is so different from Singapore.. freaking nice but thn no chilli sauce.. sianz.. they are damn stingy when come to sauce.. only 1 sauce for 1 meal.. crazy..

All right.. have to pen off le.. will update more on my trip here if possible..

Take care man my brother.. rest well n please take ur time to recover this time round ya..

I am a graduate!!

Hahahaha... sound arrogent hor..

*thinking back of last time.. really quite long ago
i have this friend who always tell people he is a graduate. U know, those time when u r a graduate u r like someone.. at tt time i was thinking what so nice abt telling pple u r a graduate. So what if u really a graduate?? is tt really impt?? its juz a piece of A4 size paper (ok slightly bigger than A4) tts all.. the rest is how u use this A4 size paper to good use...

Anyway, damm shiok.. its like finally finish a impt task tt last for 2 and a half yrs.. i also dunno how to go through, but the only thing that i can remember from this is the last 3 months, where FYP, overseas project, exam and assignment all squeeze in 6 months time.. wa laoz.. nearly choke to death and not to mention abt those sleepless night bcuz of stress.. Now while typing this, i remember some of my frenz who actually tell me to think twice taking up part time studies.. Difficult, Stress, etc was the reason they gave me.. SHIT!! if you are determine, dont care what others say.. Just have the 'tick' motto n you can achieve it!

In 5 days time, i will be leaving Singapore and off to my school. It will be the longest holiday i ever go. Longest in distance n time. Actually quite looking forward to it..

Congratulation to our family for their hard work for the past few weeks.. a really hectic n crazy week man.. rushing for fastrack.. big congratulation to those who clear, n big pat to those who achieve their own target set forth for themselve.. one way or the other, we won.. but another half yr to go to acheive even greater things..

I will be back for the 2nd half of the year..

i will be back...

-- will be continue...--
*stay tune for part 2, for it will be even bigger than transformer 2...
