Reisen Die Schweiz -
Finally I can say it's Finally Over
AC213 marks the end to this seemingly fast semester. I have to admit time passes quickly and unknowingly, the seemingly crazy sem ended. Its a crazy sem for me - AA210 AA202 AA102 AC213 HMG1. 4 cores and 1 elective. Well it's my choice la so no regrets about it. I have to conclude that I enjoy German lessons most though my grammar sucks but it's the most fulfilling and enjoying class for me, despite the occasional dozing offs.
I really think I have a penchant for rushing my schedule, and I always like planned things to the brim. After the last paper at 1130, I dashed home to get my stuff, shower and headed off to T3. Luckily I met the timings I expected for myself but I was really quite tired. I feel CRAZY myself, but I like such craziness of me. T3 is sooo deserted !
The waiting lounge
It was a rather turbulent flight! At one point me and the Swiss beside me had to hold our cups to prevent spillage. Lots of up and downs. And somehow this journey feels very longgg! It wasnt like that the last time. And my ears were really hurting after having the earpieces for like 10 hrs !The 1st movie which I chose and subsequently gave up watching after 30min. Plot is too cliched and there is no surprises at all =(
This show kept me awake with all the suspense and action !
I gave up watching Golden Compass too! It was sooo boring that I fell asleep. Okay maybe I was too tired.
Only had a pandan cake in my tummy in the morning and this is my 1st main meal of the day!
Dessert =)
Snacks to keep us filled~
More snacks! Healthy sandwich this time round ~
"Dinner" while approaching Switz. I love the T-chocolate!
Reaching soon !
The flight was like 95% Swiss. I could only identify like less than 5 Sporeans. Anw the EURO cup fever is definitely high !
The all-familiar surroundings greeted me once more. It feels good to be back =)
Zurich Flughafen
One of the reasons for returning !
The familiar town at night, peaceful as always~
Im in Mu Han's house now, really have to thank her for putting me up! And for fetching me from her bustop! It makes me feel more at home instead of being in some hostel alone. And she's really hospitable! Guess most Taiwanese are typically warmer than Sporeans. Gotta show what Im capable of tmr evening. Anw I haven slept for almost 18 hrs... gotta shower and sleep soon!

I gave up watching Golden Compass too! It was sooo boring that I fell asleep. Okay maybe I was too tired. Played this awhile and gave up after repeatedly failing at the $100 or $200 mark (but I didnt use any help!) 
Finally I can make sense out of die Schpisekarte~

The last paper doesnt seem that stressful as the previous ones though I have little clue as to what REA models are. Yest went Paragon with mum and ate small dragon buns. Yummy~ Been some time since I ate them from that famous place. Anw we went there cos she wanted to check out this LC brand... and I didnt mind getting away from home. IT paper is sooo boring!
Anw 2 more days to the end of the tragic school days... well not exactly tragic. I do like slacking around in school canteens, chatting with friends... But not going for seminars etc.
Gonna be a bee-zy holiday... Die Schweiz, Batam, Mediacorp, Laos, HK(???!!!)... and am considering taking up some skills... still tinking of options. Yea gotta upgrade my culinary skills too, Italian/Jap/chinese/... no limits on the nationalities of cuisine!
Note: Dun think I will be seeing some friends within the next mth since everyone is bee-zy travelling. Catch up when we r all back! Im sure u all have exciting stories to share! To Hannie: I dun see how I can pass u the tape any time sooN!
Be back soon~
The lack of updates was not because of my waning interest in blogging. In fact the interest has been intensifying. The past week was just insanity. Never have I mug so long since A levels probably. I must have set a new record for mugging in a day! Lesson learnt - shd start revision earlier. But that wasnt possible for me due to all those endless projects and when they end, it was like a week to exam. To make things worst, I had 5 papers this time whereas most of my peers are only taking 3. Sleeping more than 6 hrs is a luxury since I have been catching about 5 hrs or less sleep each day.
Anw I have been doing silly stuff in the midst of studying... such as sneaking up on my sis while she was preparing stuff in the kitchen. Anw below is the Quiche she baked! Wasnt too bad =)
22nd Apr is Si's 21st bday! BFG launched a surprise attack to her house on Monday in full force late at night. Anw Im really surprised all of u turned up cos its the exam periods and everyone stays a distance from her place. So proud of u all !The secret light-up and pre-prep
Happy 21st again!
Vicki came over also just before midnight and brought cupcakes! haha. the candles were very special as it sparkles!
The guys were very fascinated with the cubic toy. Been dismantling it the whole night
A cliche group pic =)
I have to complain about the weather! Its really humid. How I wish Im in a temperate climate enjoying 20 degrees the whole year.
Oh I have a new found love! Apart from Panda, I haven fallen deep in love with Pandan cake. Haven been gorging on it when Im at home.
Exams ending on tues! Cant wait and then it will be my exciting summer break =)
Waiting~
2 papers today. 5 hrs of exams.
German paper was nicht gut. It was super hard. So many unfamiliar words. I felt like I wrote rubbish. Now Im giving a serious thought if I should continue with German 2 next sem since German 1 is already so tough. I just hope to get a 'S' grade - Satisfactory.
It has been a year since I took exams in NTU. Nth much has changed. It's the usual mad rush I get from everywhere. Time is forever insufficient. I realize the greatest stress comes just the night before the paper, and it kind of dissipates the moment you turn over the booklet to answer, probably because at that point all is set and there's nothing much you can do or change.
the best feeling is still the mere few minutes of relief after a paper~
Over the weekend, my sis attempted to make her 1st chocolate moose(spelt wrongly I know). It's like simpler than I imagined ! I was distracted by the mess in the kitchen so I decided to do a coverage on her. Haha
Problems: fixing the new mixer
Lesson Learnt: It's good to solve things yrself
Saver: Me! Haha I did lend a hand in fixing the machine.
The tragic mess!
The melted Cadbury dark choc. I suggest she use a better quality choc next time.
The result was quite good, at least it tasted quite nice. Now Im looking forward to her Macaroons.
Tutored my cousin on Sat for Chemistry as well. Im amazed at my recallability power of chem knowledge! Haha. The fact was that before I left house, I revise about 10 min on the O levels chem just to be prepared and the facts just flowed back to my mind like water. Anw hope my cousin has a better understanding on the QA topic! It's not exactly easy, just need more practice and effort. Chem is definitely scoreable! And then we had a sushi dinner at the same house! I must compliment my auntie for making one of the nicest sushi I ever ate. And I swear I will master the skills soon! Haha. Unknowingly, I probably ate like 20-30 sushi that night. Looking fwd to the next sushi session!

Okay its not exactly around the world but still, its my proud collection! It's not all, some of them seem to go missing, or probably stored in the storeroom. I just managed to capture those in my room. I shd be studying now but well, there is always distraction. And Im trying hard to blog even though life is bland like water =(
