Going Home

Going home going home
I am going home
Quiet like, some still day
I am going home

It's not far, just close by,
through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
never fear no more

Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting too
Lots of faces gathered there
All the friends I knew

I'm just going home

No more fear No more pain
No more stumbling by the way
No more longing for the day
Going to run no more

Morning star lights the way
Restless dreams all gone
Shadows gone, break of day
real life has begun

There's no break, there's no end
Just living on
Wide awake, with a smile
going on and on

Going home Going home
I am going home
shadows gone break of day
real life has begun

I'm just going home

the swiss

backpacking means waking up at 430am in e morning to cook ur own breakfast so tt u can eat at least smthing healthy n also because ure totally broke cus u screwed 500 francs wanting to give urself e thrill of ur life. i have officially 15 francs left for my accomodation tonight. dinner and breakfast i will cook from wadever i have left.

e swiss are really fanatical abt nature cus they have hiking track of all difficulties labelled out so damn clearly on e road u dun really need a map when u walk. nature is just so overwhelming is switzerland. e mountains e flowers roarrrrr

n u wldnt believe how happy i m not e see clouds today. it means my 100 plus frans is not spent in vain cus i can go to the tallest point in europe which also meanssss SNOW AND PURE WHITE MOUNTAINTS.

SWISS ALPSSSSSSSSSS

paris - london - home....

sooo

i was on this boat cruise down the danube river and i met a french bitch. to e max. fucking hell i could have pushed her down e river. lucky my english is better den her fucking level. think again before u try to bully me. i hope u freeze ur face off.

screw u. mother fucker. URGH. censorssss.

nature & us

if anything, i think e europeans are so much better with their conservation efforts than the asians.

in fact, they actually coexist with nature. e green parks with lush trees & cushiony grass which smells damn nice *ok i stuck my face to e ground & smelled it XD* is a great hangout for all students for studying or chilling out with a beer. ours are in a concrete buildings, canteen/library.

they love gardening, & if possible, herbs for garnishing food or for tea is always from the garden. ours are from supermarts, imported from where we wldn't care. & if one source failed, e govt wld always have other sources of foreign imports so it's e least of our worries.

so if u told them that global warming wld mean plants dying & crazy temperatures, it wld definitely freak them out more than it does to us cus it means a significant inconvenice to their lifestyle.

or maybe in a metroplitan city like sg where we have to specially make an effort to visit nature or when nature is confined to certain areas like parks or in damn ulu places way off e island ie chek jawa, nature to us is just another issue no different from that of the economic depression or if not of less importance.

e sad thing is tt we no longer see nature as being an intergral part of our lifestyle, at least e dependence on nature for food or for a beatiful garden where we cld sit there & laze in e sun is just smthing so foreign.

so maybe sg shld experience a snow storm... then will we know that nature is still e "mother" of earth. at least i can have e chance to make a snowman in sg too hee hee

darmstadt

having no 24h access to e computer & e net means i'm pretty out of touch with e world. so far, my calls home are those tt update me on what's really going on outside. like goh sotong getting chicken pox, air france crashing, singapore having it's first case of swine flu. wadever

darmstadt is a pretty small town.boring would be a word to describe it since it's a town catered mainly for e students of the university of darmstadt. apparently, a majority of e ppl here are students so i guess they wld want their students to study den party.

e only happening big big event was the schloss graben fest. my fren's host happily made me repeat e name "schloss" cus i cldn't pronounce it. it's smthing b.w slosh & shros. suxssssss... germans making fun of my german. XD basically it was insane PARTYING lots of smoking & beer while unknown bands sang angsty songs on stage. no cultural reason behind this fest actually, it's just simply to make money.

meanwhile, german class is great. cus most of e time i'm lost. season 20. wadever. haha. i'm not really into german. thinking of taking french when i come back. yeah. snobbish frenchman.

i wish i cld update more. so much things are happening & have happened. & yeah, despite all e fun, i do miss home. slap me. e ppl espcially. i can't click well with e ppl here so i'm left drifting from one clique to another. got pretty depressed after a while so i'm a loner now. poor poor simin.

maybe i'm just a difficult person to get along with....

i think e bad thing abt me is tt i'm paranoid & then i'll get really scared of ppl. they just freak e shit out of me.

Death

Death
comes in a phonecall
when u least expect it
then comes e rain
as if e sky is weeping
for e loss of someone dearly loved

RIP for those we miss so much.
----------------
her husband passed away today. he was supposed to wake up after e drugs & everything has subsided and stuff cus he was getting better. he was alive this afternoon when ruth sent me home & passed by e hospital. now he's gone....

paris day 1

picture an alley with rubbish littered all over e floor with some dog poop here and there.

there u have it. right in e heart of paris. romantic isn't it.

and it rained too so i didn't get to sit on e boat tour.

what a shame.

i'll make sure i come back later :P

i'd rather not have ur company

if ur purpose of travelling abroad is to call home and tell ur frens tt u're in the UK, & den chit chat on e phone for what seems like an eternity while i navigate around the place, i think u must well just go home. travelling overseas just to call ur frens is lame. singtel offers cheaper rates in singapore.

there's no pt travelling with someone & having the company if all e company u get is just a person who is on e phone. i'd rather travel alone cus i dun have to worry bout u not catching up or walking too fast in front of me...

e thing i regret now is not bringing along my laptop. i feel paralyzed.

the journey so far... i saw frodo in bath :P jk

i'm only gone for 4 days & it's like forever.

london was ok. i felt lost most of the time and if not, i felt like i was racing against time. and honestly, i liked the photos i took on the camera more than what i saw in real life. the weather was pretty dull & friggin cold at night. it's rarely sunny & the ppl there are just very.. metroploitan style. busy, grumpy, caught up in their own world.

most of travelling was done on foot, if not, the metro. good thing i travelled light. haha. so i just have my jacket, t shirt and jeans while my friend wrapped herself up with layers and layers of clothing. they said i looked like a local asian kid hahaha. wadever. i'm getting fat.

my diet consist of cheap food from e sainsbury mart like salad, prawn salad/sandwich is my fav. i eat it almost everyday. topped with jacket potatoes & maybe a chocolate pudding. each cost just ard 2 -3pounds so it's pretty cheap for a meal.

BATH is
AMAZING

e ppl here are superfriendly.

the town is ancient, so full of history, and travel further down you'll have shire look alike places. it's like middle earth, quiet, away from human civilsation.

n the ctryside is just breathtaking. it's just whole stretches of green fields and the bright blue sky, occasionally dotted with a small cottage or a burst of red or yellow foilages.

i wish i could stand there.

it wld just be me, the earth & the sky...

swine flu

swine flu

i hope it scares ppl off europe. den i dun have to see crowds.

i wanna see attractions! not ppl! we already have alot of them in sg. ppl are just everywhere.

disgusting. HAHAHAA

from my cousin's facebk album haha

Bag says: Yeepee, i'm goin for a long trip soon

maybe a packaged tour might be better

i've nvr been so damn hardworking in my life. hahaha. but den again, it's fun as u border b/w kiasuism & not killing ur body by going to so many places of interest in one day. haha like squeezing ten into one day.

and e worse thing is i have tests on tues and i have no time to plan!

LOOK @ THAT DAMN PILE STARING @ ME ON MY TABLE!! HOHOHO

i can't wait to get out.

MONEY MONEY MONEY

stupid GSS. i didn't noe it costs money. SRIOUSLY i had no idea at all. i tot when they wrote €900 there it meant ard how much i was going to need when i'm going there.

*stabs*

so now i overshot my budget by S$2000 cus of this €900. i hate europe. HAHA

& lian actually said fuck u when she knew i'm going to darmstadt cus she initially wanted to apply there too.ROAR. sian la. now no travelling partner. haha. i bet we really wanted to go e same places. booohooo

current estimation = ard S$7000 +/-

i'm hoping that it doesn't go up. or else i'll go bankrupt, burst my bloodvessels & kill myself on e mrt tracks even before i go there.

*weeps* i wan monies.

YOSH! the time starts NOW.

I officially have ten thousand blogs online. HAHA. i think i'm schizoprehnic cus really, my thoughts are all over e place.. like rice... ok wait, like erm.. sand? wadever. *snorts*
this blog is just for me to rant abt my travelling blues, my freaking acne popping up on my face again as a result of my travelling blues & my plans & updates.

anywayyy...

I"VE FINALLY BOOKED MY TICKETS! DAMN FREAKING EXPENSIVE TICKETS. HAHA. i'll be flying off on e 5th of May early in e morning @ 7.40. so friggin early. and arrive in london heathrow airport in e evening. YES! LONDON! HAHA. HALF WAY ROUND E WORLD. LARNDON. HOHOHO. merry christmas!

lol so i guess there's really no turning back now. die die also must come back on 3rd of July. so i'll leave this hated island with my hated employee & hope it sinks while i go traveling.
