Work and Stress

These days, most of the people that I really care and love are under stress from work particularly. Overtime, deadlines, productivity etc… Urrgghh… I can’t help much, just hope things can resolved soon. I seen the outcome from “over-stressed”. I couldn't take it anymore. Is scary and sad to see that. I am worry.

I am on leave. But still, I worked till my phone was being barred for about 2 weeks ago. Then, I start receiving calls to my personal phone. I answered once then I decided not to answer any from then. Is bloody expensive and I had to pay for it. I emailed office to ask them to settle the bill, but they said they are processing it. Finance Manager resign. Bla bla bla..

I felt the stress from my work though I am on holidays. I felt the stress from colleagues and works. Sometimes I thought is my own problem but when lots of incidents happened before I left, I start to understand something. I felt sad at first but relieve after pouring to my beloved. I am letting go. I felt happier. I hope the stress that I am going to ‘inhale’ when I back then isn’t too much. I hope I can cope well. I will try not to take buddy’s offer. I knew he cares and worry. Is too sweet and warmth that he always there to offer but I will be strong to go through that.

I knew I will have more to take from different areas which are more sickening when I am back. I am tired. Really tired. But I knew my beloved and dear friends will be there for me, giving strength and cares. We are there for each others. That's what friends for... I will hang in there…. At least I will try...

New Companionship

Recently, I got another 2 new 'toy' from buddy -- an elk and a rainbow doggie. I didn't feel excited and happy seeing them. But...I felt sad.

He do not want any accompany with him anymore. He will be lonely. He felt empty. I felt his loneliness.

I am really sad to see that. I told him the truth. He asked me to take them with me. I will be a good 'baby sitter'. If one day he needs them back, I can send them to him. I will take care of them. Awaiting you to claim it back ya.. I hope the day will come.

P/S: God, are you there to listen? I start to wonder. Your child is crying and lost.

Alcohol.. Bad Sex?!

I am having beer when blogging. Sore throat. So feel like taking this Mat Salleh 'Leong Cha'. I hope it works. I should blog about my trip to Berlin, about the CSD, but...I havent get those photo arranged well as I am tired. When I am drinking, suddenly thought of this...Buddy told me quite often when we have our drinks.

"When you are drinking and cheers, you must look into each other eyes, or else you will have bad sex for 7 years!"

Believe it or not? I do not know the answer. You are the one suppose to tell me. Hehe... Anyone knows the answer? Tell me. Tell me. Keen to know :P

I am consider an alcoholic. I can drink lots. But suprisingly I only took 2 bottle of beers, 1 bottle of red and white wine each, 2 cocktails for this 2 months though alcohol is damn cheap over here. Buddy keep tempting me to get the alcohol but I just not. When I about the order/buy drinks, I will think of mumbling and advice from my dear and my beloved. So, I will order some other non-alcohol drinks. I drink only occasionally here when I need them such as for now to sooth my throat and when I am down. Heh... I think I am really "gila" liao.. how can I resist that?! I think I should get a bottle back home then :P. Please remind me to look into ur eyes when u are drinking with me. I am quite forgetful and I am not taking any risk. Hahaha.... :P

I wonder I am sick?

I feel very cold lately. My whole body ache. I had to hide under the blanket. I closed all the window. But I still feel cold. I thought the weather is cold outside. I thought it is normal that my whole body ache at this time. I thought that I am dizzy as I do not have enough sleep.

But today, I saw many children were playing in the playground outdoor. Some even wearing singlet. Today is sunny day. But I still feel cold and the ache still never less though I had the pain killer. I just realised that my forehead are a bit warm and my feet and hands are cold. My head is heavy as well. I am wearing 3 layers of cloths and sweater even socks but I still feel cold. I think I am having fever liao...

Bad Mood

When we are in bad mood.....

We tends to say something that is opposite of our thinking.
We tend not to express our very true feelings.
We tend to use harsh and cruel words to hurt.
We tend to keep our self away from the one that we really love.
We can’t think, talk, and act wisely.
Both parties will get hurt and sad.

Best solution is :
  • Stay cool and calm
  • Talk it over
  • Share the feelings
  • Forgive and forget
Distance in heart will be closer. Tomorrow will be better :)

Bad Luck

All these years, bad things will happen to me unexpectedly. People will think that is ridiculous until they saw it and experience those themselves with me.

After the stupid euro line “fly kite”, this round was the car driver. We booked a car pooling plan to Berlin. Actually buddy had arranged and confirmed with him 2 weeks before we departed. The fellow said ok, no problem. We called him again a day before, but to his voice mail box. So, buddy left him a message as we were busy in the lab. On the day itself, buddy called again, this time, nobody picked up the calls. We called and called and waited for an hour plus.

We finally gave up. We took the train and paying 4X plus extra fare. And the train was very full due to the CSD celebration in Berlin. Crowded. After 30 mins later, got a place, but not for our ticket. They have the stupid category system. Finally Buddy got me a place, he let me had that as I was sleepy and not feeling well. He had to sit on the floor for about an hour plus before got another seat. Pity him. He made a remark that he never encounters all these “FFK” case here all this while. I am the first one that made him “involved” in all these.

Huh… bad luck…heh?

My Little Cutties...

These are all my new toys, gifts from buddy... to accompany me when i am back then..
  • The bear bear will have sound hor...
  • The white polar bear is famous in germany...
  • The sheep is a key chain...
  • The worm is a collection from buddy...
  • The hanging moo moo is another collection from buddy...
My beloved, saw them all? Hehe... these are all I got here. Finally I blog them here. You won't 'cincang' them kan? Actually there is another big big one, buddy ask to get as it is 50% off --- still around 15 Euro. But I didn't. Hehe... I am such a good girl right? :P

It's Complicated

Complicated feelings and emotion raise inside me now. I need to struggle it through alone. I do not how to handle. I am not professional enough to handle it. I am just a normal human.

I am scared. I am worried. I am sad. I am stress. And still I am..

Will he be stronger? Will he be brave? Will he be better ?

I don't know. Nobody knows. I can just pray and hope. I felt helpless. I can only hide to watch and observe. Hide my tears under the blanket. I need a hug and comfort to pour out my tense and worries. My heart is painful seeing it through. I hope I can be stronger to give him the strength and love.

Fire Flies Spirit


This post is dedicated to my beloved... far in distance, near in heart.

Nothing to do Kuala Selangor.. Is just some words for you....

"Believe and have the spirit like fire flies ---They blink to find their loves one. They know that their life is so short but they are brave enough to search for the one they love. They appreciate the time being together. They shine, they smile with love...though is not too long... Enjoy every single day they have ---"

So, do not hesitate and think too much. Believe... Appreciate and Love... Life will be easier, my dear :) !

P/S: Though I am not very "qualified" to say that (no 'exp' ma), but I do believe... Is not easy but must try.. be strong....no matter what..

Bak Zang Festival

Just after a quiet celebration, today comes another festive season -- the dumpling festival. I love dumplings lots. Though my health do not allow me to take that much, but I craving for it. Hehe... Everybody tends to love something that they can't take...

This year..going to miss the dumplings on this day when I am abroad. Can't eat the real one, but got a photo from my dear. Haha... still can't "satisfy" me. I definately will have it when I am back then.

When comes to festive season, some family will have celebration, some just treat as a normal day. Lots of thinking in my mind after I made a call back to my grandma. My mood is down. When we are with our loves one during festive season, you will feel warm and love around. But how about those that are lonely and lack of love around them, will feel more emptiness in their mind and heart during this time. I also being alone all this while out from my hometown. But I am too lucky to have friends around me. Today, I can understand my loves one feelings now better on this day.... in his room....

P/S: Indirectly had put my housemate into some "trouble" today, feel so sorry for that. My another feeling is light anger and disappointment, but I cant do anything :(

A Quiet Celebration

Last Thursay was my one month cun cun here in Germany. I totally do not realised that. Time flies so fast. As usual, I stayed at home doing nothing, hehe... Cooked some porridge with dried osyter and "yew chu". Then lying at bed as body aches after a fall days before. Buddy was back early. Suprised me. Bought some ingredient and started the cooking.

"Sa po, do u know today is what day ar?"
"Thursday lor (stupid answer from me)"
"You already here for a month le! forgot ar? Tonight we celebrate ar"
"Oooo...ok"

We had spaztler, pineapple, porridge and cheese cake for the "special occasion". A bit too much for only 2 of us.

A quiet and lovely celebration... thanks, buddy.

P/S: Time to be back and away from buddy is getting nearer :( . Is time for me to take out my "pressure and problems' out from the "freezer" after keeping it for so long. The time has finally come. I shall face them.

Cheese Lover

I am a spoilt child here. I love cheese. That's why buddy bought me lot's of cheese, cheesy food for me. He said is cheap but I knew he just will buy if I love it. Never doubt that. The amount that I am taking in a month is a whole year supply for him! Haha....

From Mozzarella, Gauda, Cheese sheets, cheese flakes, cheese crackers, cheese cakes, cheese spread, cheese bread, cheese dip..I think I should stop now as all is so cheesy... hehe...







I had that all. Some were bought and some he made for me. He made the lemon cheese cake, cheese bread with basilicum and spaztler (pasta,pork, cheese, spring onions) -- a quite typical local food. Main ingredient --- of course is cheese! Those cheese hafta hate me for eating them at at such crazy level.

Sigh...Going to gain more weight with cheese... I love them, but in a way I dislike the fats la... any fat free one ar, heh...? :P I wonder.

P/S: My beloved Wil, got you the cheese tortilla (freego).. hmm..yummy yummy crispy crackers that you request... You gotta love it..

Doner

This is not a burger...it's call as "Doner". I had this for the second time in Mannheim. Lot's of shop selling this but only one particular shop here that makes the perfect one. The first time i had it was take away and in a rush, now I dine in to have this particulary.

The outter bread is a bit crispy and salty, is like a pocket that filled with salad, daging kebab, tomatoes, onions and not forget the mayonaise.

Hmm... I just love this lots. The portion is a bit too big for me. And not very expensive, haha... just Euro 2.

Song for Me

當你孤單你會想起誰

你的心情總在飛 什麼事都想去追 想抓住一些安慰
你總是喜歡在人群中徘徊 你最害怕孤單的滋味
你的心那麼脆 一碰就會碎 經不起一點風吹
你的身邊總是要許多人陪 你最害怕每天的天黑
但是天總會黑 人總要離別 誰也不能永遠陪誰
而孤單的滋味 誰都要面對 不只是你我會感覺到疲憊
當你孤單你會想起誰 你想不想找個人來陪
你的快樂傷悲 只有我能體會 讓我再陪你走一回


A song that dedicated to me by buddy.... He understand me well enough. Thanks for everything.. my dearest friend.

Bye bye Prague..

Trip to Prague last weekend was cancelled due to the irresponsible of the Euroline. We waited at the station since 10:15pm till 1:15am. The night was cold.. we still have to wait. We were not sure whether the bus will come or not. This station is really a quite and not much benches available. Few of us were waiting here, less than 10. This is a new route for the bus. We are not sure how long should we wait. Nobody work after 6pm. No 24hour call service. No customer service. Nothing! So, we need to wait and wait....From disappointment to anger. F**k! Buddy keep scolding. I kept quite. We both were tired. I did all the research about this place, places I wish to visit etc. Till the end, the stupid bus service turned us down. We walked all the way for 35 mins to the train station, no taxi available at that hour. Luckily last train was at 2:20am. I pity buddy for not taking his dinner. Grabbed a Doner...ate it before heading back home. We were tired, he even more. We are not sure whether refund will be given back or not. But definately we have to bear the lost on the currency that he changed and the accomodation booked. Double anger and disappointment! Luckily, left 2 more trip which none of them are using this bus service, :). At least a relief in this. Forget the unhappy memories, looking forward for the coming one...! I will try, but the disappointment is still there, of course.

Amsterdam - Sex and The City II

Day 2

Started the day around 10:30am, had some bread in room before getting out for light meal. Had some dim sum ala cart (wu kok and...i really forgot), bought some typical hong kong pastries. Nothing much to be done today, planned to have canal cruises along the floating market.

Did some sightseeing today, not to those typical tourist attractions. Some more down to earth scenes. Saw a weird gang of men wearing outstanding c0stumes, sipping coffee at a coffee shop - Batman, Superman, Mr.Incredible, Robin etc. They are very proud of that! Passed by tourist "trap" for the typical wooden shoes, roses beside a house, cheese shops, Sex shops and many more.

Along the way, can see the beautiful scenery for boats and cruises passing by, the town taxi, the architectural houses, churches, kindergarden, restaurants and many more. When we reached the floating market, the sun is too hot for me to have the boat ride, so buddy is the tour guide to brief me why most of the houses will have underground. Do you know why? --- Is for the maid/slave to stay in as they are not allow to step into their master's house during the old days. Sounds pity heh... :(

A quick shot at Bijenkorf Shopping Mall before got back for nap. Dinner at the same old place --- roasted duck rice and shrimp rice before getting to the bus station. Waiting and waiting, bus came and we finally reached home around 5am!

P/S: No windmill around in the city, is far far away at the countryside, too bad for that, but i had a mini one :P!

Amsterdam - Sex and The City I

Amsterdam, top of my most wanted to visit list all these while. Not for the SEX ... but for the windmill and scenery. Yeah, yeah.. most is for the windmill, trust me. I love that with no reason. Can’t really explain. So, buddy is too lovely to bring me there though he just been there. Too many fresh memories. But still, he brought me there. We got there by bus euroline. Departed from Frankfurt Hbf. Did some shopping (the outcome is more than expected :P!) and have a nice dinner and beer in a café before we catch the midnight bus.

Day 1
We reached about 7:30am and get to check into the hotel about 8:00am. I didn’t sleep for the whole night. So, I got some rest till 12pm. Yeah, going all the way there to sleep, :). I was tired mentally and physically. I really need some rest at that point.
Hehe… piggie woke up and out for food with buddy. At first I really thought that I was in Hong Kong! Most streets’ name are with chinese characters, chinese shops around me and those “guai lou” looking guy can speak Cantonese very well. Chinese songs were played! Wow… salah tempat tak?! Then, after buddy explained that I finally understand. Those Hongkies migrate to Amsterdam long time ago O.o . We go for dim sum buffet for my break-lunch. Hmm… not bad but not that good either.

Walking in the town is like taking a walk in the 17th century, as the center of Amsterdam has a lot of charming architecture dating from this period. Passing by some bargain market in Nieuw Markt. Just took some pics. We are not quite interested for that as we doubt for the quality offered. Haha… very “high class” people here.

Passed by DAM which has many attractions and is a very busy square. We preferred to use it as a hub to all the places we wished to visit. Almost all main streets lead to it so most things are easy to find from it. It is a meeting place for tourists and locals likewise who sit on the steps of the National Monument. The name Amsterdam derives from this place where people built an embankment which separated the IJ and the Amstel. We do not miss the Koninklijk Paleis – Royal Palace which is located in the heart of Amsterdam on the DAM Square. The palace was formerly used as city hall and was only called a palace when Napoleon put his brother Louis as king of the Netherlands. From that moment on different kings used the building as a residence.

While walking to the Bloemenmarkt, we passed by Madame Tussaud Wax Museum, Erotic Museum and Sex Museum, But we didn’t get into any of that. Straight to our “target” place Bloemenmark where is the world's only floating flower market with flower stalls on houseboats situated on the Singel. Have pics here with my favorite flower – tulips. How I hope I can bring back one…. the real one, not as the fake one in my room. Had a cocktail session during happy hour before heading back for dinner. Chinese cuisine, fried noodle with char siew at KAM YIN Restaurant.

After dinner, we visited the Red Light District. Visiting Amsterdam also means visiting the famous Red Light District which is located between the New Market, the Central Station and the Dam Square. The area is not only at night an attraction. Also during the day there is a special atmosphere created by the many red curtains and lights in the windows. Women of every age and every nationality can be viewed in the many windows along the streets. I passed by during the day, but I wonder what are those women doing there, thought are statue or what. Being scolded badly, I can’t see the women are real as I really dare not to look at them. Prostitution is legal in Holland, and in Amsterdam most of it is concentrated in the Red Light District. The Red Light District isn't very big. We passed lots of red-fringed window parlors populated by women, who favor a minimalist dress style, and who tap (or pound) on the windows as likely looking customers go by. Is a liberal city.. in other way, is too polluted!
A tiring day… back to hotel and zzz… :P

Love and Anger

"Don't lie to me"
The words are too hard
I hate myself of being that
I should have just be quiet and patience
I knew you just love me
You want to keep me way from dark
But do you know there might be the brighter side of everything?

I believe to everything you say
You might have your way
I might have mine
But do you know that I do care and love?

Love do bring much sadness
Is unbearable when love turns to absolute pain
I saw the sadness in you
The pain you bear with
But do you know I am also worry and pain for you?

We love each other
We tend to hurt each other
We both get hurt deeply
I am in pain
I know yours never less
Love and Anger
Between a line

My dearest friend
“I am sorry, forgive me”
REMEMBER:
Be strong
Be tough
Be optimistic
You still have us..a lifetime friendship!
My promise to you…

Stockholm -- Simple and Nice

Another round of travelling :). This time was by Rynair. To a breathtaking place --Stockholm, Sweden which is formed by 12 islands.

Day 1
Since is a budget traveling, budget airtickets, airport is far away from home and public transports are limited. So, time spent and wasted were more for waiting... Imagine our flight was 9pm and i needed to depart from home at 2pm. Took train to Ludwigshafen Hbf's bus stop. Meeting up with buddy there. He rushed on time. Bus came and depart to Frankfurt Hahn Aiport. Took about one an half hour to reach there. A typical AirAsia airport. Slightly bigger and more organize :). But the "kquan" is same la. Spent the whole evening waiting and waiting for check in. Oh ya..we got VIP boarding pass. Dunno why. Lantak, as long as no need to queue that long :P. People were kiasu, beratur before even the counter open. Crazy. We wouldn't care more, check in last, but board the earliest. Haha.... VIP ma. Oh ya, nearly forgot about the stupid liquid kind of stuffs, security check. Need to buy a transparent plastic for all my facial sets. Beh tahan...

Reached Stockholm Skavasta airport two hours later. Bought tickets for airport coaches to town centre. We expected to reach late but not till very late. Time dragged by the "turtle" bus driver. Reached very late. Got into a taxi as no tram services available. Kena "potong" for only 5 mins ride. Searched for address and luckily the "hotel guy" was there waiting for us till 3am! Nice guy. Can't wait, jumped to the bed and zzzzzzzz.

Day 2
Next day woke up around 11am. Buddy already bought me breakfast (RM40 roasted chicken and baggett RM5) and lots of Swedish specialties --Delicato ball, cinnamon bread, white choc stick and da green stuff (almond taste).

No worries..the day is quite long now, even at 3am, sky still not very dark yet.

While walking all the way to Old Town for sightseeing and Vasamuseum, we passed by city centre, City Hall--saw wedding couple...pencil like monument, old churhes...The Royal Palace, Nobel Museum. Stopped for coffee session... window shopping... Keep going then. passed by Gallerian and lots of nice scenes in town. Buddy is liked a experienced tour guide...telling...hmm "Swedish people like to listen to ABBA; Stockholm is a birthplace for...(i forgot,entah bmw ke volvo), bla...." :P

We reached Old Town really late. About 8pm. Still sunny. The water is blue and calm. Lot's of cruises there. Actually planned to have a ride, but hmm.... mahal giler. Is good enough to be here. I enjoyed lots. We sat on the benches near the sea, enjoying the beautiful, windy scene. Can see the Vasamusuem from here. Hmm.. not really wanna go for that. Just took some pics from here is ok for me. Good chat, good laugh, photography session again! Haha... buddy in the mood of that. After photography session, walked along the bridge, i was really kaki patah dy, holding him to walked back home. I said "How I wish my beloved is here also to be with us,hor?". "Then, I will broke lagi teruk lor!" "We different taste, nanti I will dump you here lor" Haha....

Have a piece of cheese cake when passed by a bakery. Wow... love it madly! Better than any cheese cake I had in M'sia. When we reached home around 11pm. Have my roasted chicken and baggett for dinner. And get to zzzzzzzz lor...tired!
Day 3
I woke up early today. 5am! Can't sleep well actually...my mind spinning...My dear and beloved sms me.. Replied and emailed. Fall asleep again around 8am. Sleep till 1130pm.Didn't wake buddy up as I knew he sleep quite "early". Let him rest, instead of dragging him go for shopping. I prepared breakfast---sausages with bread; honeydue and apple. Get the packing done. Wake him up ard 2pm and get dressed up to get the bus to airport. We still managed to get the the supermart nearby and grabbed a snack for beloved. Wanna him to try too...

Walking by ur side.......


A special dedication to my buddy...

My dearest friend,
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I am letting go before we'd try,
So I took the decision by your request,
Took your soul out into the night.

It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.

And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you, my friend.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, my dearest, there shouldn’t be doubt.

Goodbye my dearest.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Is hard to let go, but I will be strong.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit -
it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me.

Remember us and all we used to be.
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd take you as my lifetime friend.

I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you lots, my friend.
I swear that's true!

Paris de tour III

Day 4
As usual, little piggie woke up late :P. ...Simply ate some bread and headed to Louvre Museum-the largest museum in the world. Large collection of famous arts and monuments such as Mona Lisa, la Joconde as the French called her, continue to seduce millions of visitors. And I am just not into "beratur satu jam" for that. Just tengok tengok the piece from aside.

Amazed by its reverse glass pyramid. Also like a piece of monument -Cupid and women. Dont know why, just love it :P. We spent for only about 3 hours there, enjoying coffee at Starbucks. Then, headed back home for packing and check out. Passed by a beautiful garden outside the museum. Never miss any chances to snap photos.

While Getting to train station,we passed by Arc de Tromphe du Carrousel and Obelisque (for me is it looks like a pen, hehe). We passed by Place de la Concorde and snap this photo of fountain.The two fountains decorating the centre of this square recall those of Saint Peter's in Rome.

After check-out, we headed to Latin-Quarter -- a neighbourhood of students and universities for cheap food. However, food there are not cheap at all. Plenty of bookshops, fashion boutiques, world food restaurants. We then went for window shoppothing near place de l'Hotel de Ville -- where many capital executions were carried out here. However, is a expensive area. No luck. Times up. Heading to bus station via train. Bus delayed for half an hour due to an arguement between a passanger and the bus driver. Issue about the driver wanted to smoke but the passanger stopped him. Settled after security guard advised. Huh... luckily no fight. Safe journey back home... Shared the joy with beloved immediately reached home at 6am in the morning!

P/S: A bit disapointed as not "so romantic" atmosphere here as what I expected. But... saw a German couple french kiss. Hah, hide behind buddy and had a peak. Forgive me... Kampung keluar ma :P.

PARIS de tour II

Day 3
Started the day late, having breakfast in the room before headed to "pasar pagi"! Hehe... never get me wrong. Is a wet market street. Somekind of pasar tani kind of stuffs. We both love that! Walking along those streets made buddy felt happy as kind of "back-home" feel. (Oh ya, before getting our way there, accidentally bumped into "sex-street"--hold buddy really tight and rushed out from the area :P). Seafood, fruits, flowers, butcher, cheese etc were sold along the street. We bought some cherries and peach. Sweet...!

We walked along the street and came to another tourism spot --- Sacre Couer. This white basilica provides one of the best panoramic views of the city. This neo-Gothic building was built in memory of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. However, we didn't climb up to the top of the rotunda. I was just too lazy..hehe...

We continue walking to another special spot -- Notre-Dame. This cathedral had been an integral part of the history of the people of Paris since 13th century. This place of worship is a wonderful architectural achivement. To get into the church, the line was aready very very long when we got there. So, guess what?
I sneak in through the exit! Just some quick shots for interior photos. Buddy needed to wait for me outside in the rain. Pity him.

After the Notre-Dame, we both were looking for a particular cafe. OPEN CAFE. Therefore, we walked from here to there. Buddy let me lead the tour. Haha...wrong decision made by him. I am a poor navigator le. We "pusing the garden" in the rain. Passed by some churches and National Museum of Modern Art-- Centre Pompidou which looks like piping outside. Not bad huh.... However, found it enjoyable playing in the rain! Finally, sipping coffee in the nice cafe. (Hmm...after buddy took back the control of the tour :P, he found that I am totally nerd in reading map and no sense of direction!) Bumped to few shops, nice and handsome guy we meet :). Buddy managed to grab a pair of shoe and a scarf. Huh... not a bad day...
P/S: Have an nice evening with buddy in our hotel... thoughts shared, tears dropped, distance in heart getting closer. I love you so much! *hugs and kisses*

PARIS de tour I

Continue my journey......we visited Paris on 2nd weekend. 4 days 2 nights trip.

Day 1:
Took "euroline" (a long journey bus) from Mannheim. Buddy under estimate the time to the bus stop. We rushed like mad, running, jumping over fence, getting lost etc. However, just managed to make it on time. Not a single minute extra. Huh... asthma.. inhaler..relief. Seat separately as no more double seats available. Sleep the whole journey as really tiring. Bus entered France, passport checked. Mine took the longest time as usual, am I look like migrant heh? Anyway... continued journey and reached at euroline main station about 6am.

Day 2:
Buddy is smart enough to get 2 days train passes for us to travel around Paris. Since get can only check-in at 6pm. We headed to Eiffel Tower. It was inaugurated in 1889 and it now becomes one of best-known monuments on the planet. The weather in Paris is only 13-15C and we both were "smart" enough to bring only summer shirt. Oh wow...never check the weather before travelling. With only one sweather I was chilling! Buddy is always kind enough to give me his :) . After some photography sessions for about 2 hours (hehe...my favourite monument ma), we headed to Bastille.


Bastille --symbol of the French Revolution, the national holiday on 14th July commemorates the day on which the people of Paris stormed the Bastille prison here, in 1789. This maze of little streets behind the square containing the new opera house. After
Bastille.



We continued to walk around for sight seeing, grabbed some local pastries and cakes as lunch. Nevertheless, coffee session again before we headed to our hotel for check in and shower. After that, get out to shops nearby to buy a roasted chicken, a baggett and a salmon spread for dinner. Hmm...sleep early as I am very tired...zzzzzzz

Promise made is to be Broken?


"Promise made is to be broken!"

When i first heard of this before I departed for my journey, I was shocked. What the hell is that?! I totally not agreed with it. For me : A promise means a promise and can never be broken.

I am not saying that I am kind of person that is so "good" but I did keep my promises so far. I wont promise if cant I make it. And I really dislike any promises to me to be broken. The feelings of disappointment and sadness is really worst than you rejected straight to my face. At least I won't be hoping and waiting.

I was hurt again when I am here. The bad feelings is killing me. And it still..... I hope it will fade one day. But why people around me like to make promises and at the end of the day giving excuses to deny it... I just wonder is that a norm and I am too naive to know that?
Pourquoi?
