Turning Point 转折点

I am finally going for backpacking vacation again! This time to Taiwan for 8 days. Praying hard for things to go smoothly. More trips on the way and hopefully I will have enough pictures to revive this blog =). ~ Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind. - Seneca~

Yes, after 1 week + of non-stop traveling - I am back to London. I miss London so much. At least I don't have any communication problems here -_- Summary of my trip: Berlin - Lovely people and nice (cheap) local food. Oh, and the so famous Berlin Wall. Prague - This is the most beautiful country out of the 4 Vienna - Gosh, people that I've met are rude, things are expensive and I even argued with an old man in the toilet (will elaborate about this when I have time)!!! Don't think I will go back again. Budapest - Something different compare to other central Europe countries. Really old buildings, underground & etc etc. I enjoyed walking in the biggest market. No time to write a longer entry, I will leave London again tomorrow morning. Sorry as I have no time to reply to comments & chat msgs. You can email me at slimmestleg@gmail.com . I will be damn free to reply your email @ the beginning of Nov....haha..sleeping time.

Myself~ Fei has gone out for a date and CJ is in Cardiff now. So I am home alone! I am actually suspecting it should be flat alone instead of home alone. Seeing that my neighbors downstairs have just moved out few days ago (they scolded us elephant -__-!) and the neighbors upstairs are not around (if they are, we can hear them walking around - like elephant..ahem, you should be able to get what the whole elephant thingy means...hahaha). BUT, I am feeling absolutely fine! So don't sympathize with me, especially on this miserable rainy day -_-. I have good plans ahead to date myself -__-. Dinner: - Leftover Pork Chop rice with gravy from last night - Home cooked white fish soup with lettuce (of course by me~) - Sweet and sour prawn balls! Argh...can't wait to eat them all. I have set a target to settle all my house chores before touching the food. I have to clean the bathroom, wash the floor mats and vacuum the flat. After that, it will be my home alone time, I am already thinki...

One fine day, I was loitering around Arth Goldau station while waiting for the train to Milan. Arth Goldau station (Switzerland) is a small train station in a rural area - nothing to scream about. BUT, as the usual busybody, I managed to find something new (at least new to me -_-). Can you see anything special? Something that we will never see in Malaysia -_-? That's it!! Day Pass for Dogs -_-. Apparently, you have to pay for your dogs to bring them with you on the train. How much does it cost? CHF 32.00/Switzerland Francs. It's enough to pay for your weekly car petrol. BTW, CHF 32.00 = 15.92 pounds = RM 98.48. Bear in mind, it's only a day pass -_-. One last question: Does that mean the dog is entitled a seat in the train?! Any idea? ~It is not down in any map; true places never are - Herman Melville ~

edit: I realized it is not a short entry anymore after I completed the whole entry T_T It will be a very short entry because I didn't spend much on food and I really regret I didn't bring enough Euros. Tapas! Appetizers in Spain with 100 over varieties. Be it cold or hot dish. Usually the people in Spain will have a pint of beer and a few Tapas dishes before dinner. Go for seafood dishes and if you don't fancy seafood, they have olive and cheese as well. Sipping wine/drinking beer and eating tapas at the same time, it's a great pleasure in life;) Paella A rice dish cook in a frying pan with key ingredients such as rice, olive oil, saffron, vege, meat and seafood. From what I observed, most of the restaurants in Barcelona offer Seafood Paella. Oh, do you know that I love seafood? That's why Paella is a MUST-TRY for me in Spain. Especially squid! Therefore, I ordered the Arroz Negro Paella which is the Black squid ink rice. If you are not as adventurous as me ...

I was being emo the past few days after reading my old blog. 4 years ago, I had so many close friends and now ... haiz. That's why I was emo la -_-, just feel like staying at home and reminisce the past (I know I sound like an old woman but I can't help it T_T). Do you understand the feeling of looking back and realized how much you have changed throughout the few years? I was going through that process and I feel old ... -_- Okay enough craps. 1st stop of the 9-day-trip, I present you Barcelona - the second largest city in Spain. 3am in the morning. I only had 1 hour sleep. The price to pay for cheap air ticket - the earlier the cheaper -_-. That's life, things are always cheaper when there's less demand. Tadah! I was on easyjet . I am not being paid for this okay (not like I have lotsa traffic also -_-). I really think they are okay for budget airline at least there was no delay. After 2 and a half hours - I was in Spain! Plaça Catalunya the main commercial area ...

We backpacked for 9 days and managed to learn a fair bit from our experience. I've jotted down some points that I would like to share with you guys about backpacking. I hope you find it useful! 1) Time Zone Always check the time difference before you depart. This is very important as you might miss your next flight/train ride/coach if you referred to the wrong timing! Especially when you have to travel to a few countries with different time zone. PLEASE take note of daylight saving as well! 2) Transport ( you can ignore this, if you know how to fly..ahahaha) - Transport to travel to another country: e.g. plane, train or coach If you are traveling from UK, you can check out the following sites - • http://www.easyjet.com , http://www.ryanair.com (budget airlines) • http://www.raileurope.co.uk (by rail) • http://www.nationalexpress.com/eurolines/home/hp.cfm (coach) If you find some of the tickets expensive, do consider to look for tickets that require transit, the...

I am in my most anticipated city. A place that I always want to visit. Hopefully it's as lovely as I've thought it is. Many people encourage others to get lost in all the small alleys and to take the gondola around the city. I got my first impression of this place from a music video - Gareth Gates - Anyone Of Us. The Venetian masks and costumes are so attractive =)! Two more days to go and I will be back to the capital of England and UK...yeah and the reality =( Have a great weekend!

the Fashion City where I can find most of the famous designer brands =) But no £$£$£$£$£$ to purchase anything. Guess I will have lotsa pasta and pizza for the upcoming days. It's already Thursday, one more day to go and it will be weekend again. I hope you are already feeling the hype over the weekend. One more place to go and I will see you in London again.

predicts that there are scattered showers for 2 days. When you are reading this, there's a big possibility I am walking through the rain with my Disneyland rain poncho on me. Zurich doesn't sound like a happening place but I can't wait to witness the beauty of Swiss Alps in the train when I head to the next destination. Sometimes I do wish I have a good DSLR camera so that I can capture all the wonders around me. Travelling makes me feel that I am so small in this world =) A tiny human. 2 days... and where am I going next?

edit again: After watching more episodes, I realised is not the girl that is lucky, is the guy. He is fortunate to have a girl that's loving him unconditionally. edit: I am going to watch It started with a kiss tonight!!! Yesterday I told myself: To sleep at 11pm - Failed To read some blog revamp related articles - Failed To cheer up - Failed To make a hot drink for myself due to the cold weather - Failed To enjoy the remaining time in UK before I leave - Failed To contact my friends - Failed To stop isolating myself - Failed haiz, how la like that? All because I ended up watching 惡作劇2吻 online T_T- the famous Taiwanese series. You know there's something about watching series, once you started you can't stop. I got so addicted to it I kept watching until 1am -_-. There were 20 episodes and guess what, I watched the first one, half of second and then skipped the rest straight to the last episode...wahahha. Come on la, I know the guy and the girl will live happily together no ...

DSLR: Digital Single Lens Reflex A digital camera in which the subject is viewed through the same lens as the picture is taken with. A mirror is raised when the shutter button is pressed, allowing light to reach the image sensor. Most DSLR cameras use interchangeable lenses. (extracted from http://www.photoreview.com.au/guides/digitalphotography/digital-imaging-glossary.aspx) Sadomasochistic (what we normally called SM :O! now I know the original word -_-) sexual activity, in which one person enjoys inflicting physical or mental suffering on another person, who derives pleasure from experiencing pain. (from dictionary.com)

I know what is on your mind now. It's obvious that the title leads you here and makes you continue reading this entry, don't deny it -_-! My entries have been lacking of photos recently. So to make up for it I am gonna bring you something happening! Nevertheless, this is only for 18 and above. If you are below 18, sorry la - please detour to somewhere else or else don't blame me if the following corrupts your mind -_- (anyway, I don't think my readers are that pure and innocent...trust me, this is a compliment..hahaha). Last Sat, me and cousins decided to tour around London. What? I know I have been staying here for like 8 months ++ but it doesn't mean that I know London that well -_-. Just like I haven't been up to KL twins tower before T_T. Anyway, we went to Hyde Park for the World Naked Bike Ride. YES, NAKED bike ride. People are doing this annually for the purpose of getting people to pay attention on certain issues - encourage ppl to cycle instead of drivi...

I've gonna pause writing on my trips for a while. Too many travel entries will bore you right? (ok lah...I gotta be honest, I am too lazy to edit all the photos -_-) So this post is gonna be all about me! So if you are not interested...in me, please skip this entry -_-. To be frank, I quite like writing random facts because it's easy to write and I don't have to do lotsa research (not like I do it all the time =p) plus others can know me better. Wouldn't it be good knowing the real and innocent me *cough* Anyway, some random facts and updates: 1) Guess my age? wtf. I am way past my early 20s T_T 2) My favourite food is still Japanese cuisine. There is a very nice Japanese restaurant near my place called Sushi Say. It is now my top favourite Japanese restaurant in London. Yo! Sushi really cannot make it. 3) I finally bought a pair of trainers that I've been longing for since form 5? I won't tell you that was how many years ago -_-! ( I can't believe I've ...

I am back. Until this moment, I still don't know what happened to the Internet connection -_-. It might be cut off again, anytime -_-. Anyway, Germany was great - good food, good companion, free bar, friendly ppl and a warm place to be. Sorry, I won't post about it now ... WHY? coz I still haven't finished posting my Manchester and Liverpool trip T_T. How how??? I think I will write until next century to complete all my travel posts. Boohoo T_T, only part 2 - I still have Liverpool trip to go and if you have good memory you will realise that I still haven't write about my trip to BATH!!! Sometimes blogging is a pain in the arse but having ppl to leave comments on my blog do boost up my blogging spirit *hint*hint* Manchester Central We went to the Museum of Science and Industry Alien pretending to be mannequin -_- My turn Manchester Cathedral (duh...it's very obvious in the photo) Me~ Standing on some weird stones seriously, I like the room a lot lor...
