Winter trip

My winter trip officially ended! Went to barcelona before this, later to prague, vienna, budapest and dublin. Vienna n dublin is safer than prague and budapest! Met a lot of scary people during this trip! Sigh......

Places...
in prague, someone in my gang met pickpocket, n her bag was opened by pickpocket and her cosmetic bag was stolen. Luckily no money or wallet was being stolen.
Then, budapest, we met a beggar who throw bread towards us at te metro station, n wanna catch us but i dunno wat's the reason, mayb we too noisy? Scared me n i ran the fastest n quickly jump into a train that stop by without noticing where the train was heading towards. N then on our way back to our hostel, we met 2 guys, who were actually walking in front of us, but they slowed down their steps after noticing we were behind. They disturb the beggar on the street and i so scared that the beggar will wake up and catch us again! To avoid the 2 scary guys, we ran across the 6-land road without crossing using zebra crossing. We went to a 24hour shop n bought something, in the meanwhile getting some place to protect ourselves. That day was the 26th dec where everywhere was just too quiet. That's too scary!

Hostel...
prague ... the worst hostel is in prague, cos of bed bugs again! huh, wat a so dirty hostel bed.
vienna ... Hostel in vienna is nice.. met jackline n sooktheng there, n also a lot of asian there in that hostel.. met someone we ever saw them during nottingham games.
Budapest... the worst worst hostel ever, located in a super scary building. We can't even find the hostel when we arrived there, no board stating the hostel name, super hard to adjust the hot water, heater is those gas operated heater, n worst is no one to ask when we need some help. We were left alone in that so called apartment... really worst! N so cold till i cannot sleep the whole nite. I woke up n walked to the heater so that i can hv some heat, n thinking of sleeping on the sofa beside the heater, but i jus couldn't sleep.
Dublin hostel, not bad.. but shower is worse though ppl in hostelworld rating it as the best shower... it's totally different.

Food...
prague - cheapest n nice. I like trdlo v much! it's nice.
vienna - ex but nice too, christmas market selling potato Jim is nice.
budapest - food is not cheap n not nice. It's not my taste. Not much choice to eat, except for pizza hut n McD.
dublin - spent a super ex dinner n it's the worst dinner i hv ever had. Beef pie wif guinness - the beef is so so so so smelly, so "beef" smell.. the beef is not fresh at all. Food in eastern europe r so salty! .......... super salty.... now back in glasgow must eat something healthy dy! no salt......

People...
prague.. a lot of ppl donno how to speak english. Those who r really high class, n wear nicely on the street r those who know english. So only speak to those who looks high class.
vienna... more of them know how to speak english.
budapest... Still a lot dunno how to speak. But kimberly b the leader in budapest n she can ask the directions well. Great job for her!
dublin... no communication problem at all.

Souvenirs...
Prague.. bought astronomical clock, postcard, magnet n pin.
vienna .. bought a vienna cup at christmas market, n also a postcard
budapest... bought a pin, a secret box, postcard
dublin... bought a lot of pins, keychain, luggage tag, n a lot more.
Spent a lot on souvenirs...

Places of visit...
Prague.. old town square, charles bridge, national theatre, prague castle, dancing house, tv tower, petrin tower, wenceslas square, christmas markets, church(anymore?)
Vienna.. fairy wheel, concert, national theatre, parliament, city hall, christmas market, St stephen cathedral, anker clock, anymore?
Budapest.. chain bridge, castle, gellert statue, parliament .. n a lot more..

Barcelona trip

Barcelona -- everyone said it's a place u must go! But... hmmm, after went there, i don think the place is really nice or wat! Jus some wat a common place, like every european country! Haiz, after reading elyne's blog, jus feel like going to kiruna! kiruna.. kiruna.. kiruna.. haha!!

Ok. Our trip to barcelona is a 4 days 3 nites trip. We stayed in a very nice hostel! The best hostel i have ever stayed in..... clean, tidy, good location, free internet access, free breakfast.. 6 ppl dorm..... good for 6 of us!

Food -- we tried the local traditional food -- Paella and Tapas... Paella, yellow rice n tapas is like mixed rice!


Paella Marinara




Tapas -- the one looks like a slice of cake is spanish omelette with tuna in it. Erm, have a try but for me personally, i don realli like it. But yoketeng said that's nice but hers is not tune but dunno wat fish.

Places we visited -- we went to all the attraction places by joining the bus turistic in barcelona. Went to almost all the places but we din really get into each n every place of attraction. We din go to any museum too.. We went to the famous La Sagrada Familia.. it's really very nice!


The part which was built last time.

The part which is still under construction. 注意雕刻,以前和现在的雕刻的有所不同。以前的细腻多了。


Erm... another part... the beach. Barcelona beach.... it's really very sunny in barcelona....



Sunny!!

Hmm.. think that's all.. Going prague tomolo lo!

My STTSS life


| View Show | Create Your Own

Remembered my previous blog on how i missed my secondary school life? Yea, here r some pics on the slides! Those pics were scanned rather than taken using digital cam cos last time where got ppl so rich go n buy digital cam la, rite? haha..

Introducing my lovely senior 1 till 3 class - REN. Our school classes are named as "Zhong Xiao Ren Ai Xin Yi He Ping", 8 classes. We don't have what intelligent ppl in which class or watsoever, though ppl will say it's weird without 精英班 in a chinese independent school! The classes names in chinese are 忠孝仁爱信义和平. Nice name, rite? Hmmm, we have 3 years in junior life and 3 years in senior life! We took junior UEC in junior 3, PMR in senior 1, SPM n senior UEC in senior 3! So actually we r actually one year behind normal SMK students! So we took 4 years for PMR actually! hmmm, it's actually very weird though! But now the system changes, n the students taking PMR n junior UEC in junior 3, n SPM in senior 2, n senior UEC in senior 3! This is what a normal chinese independent school does! Ok! Cause last time of the c2pid 董事长that suggest to have the weird system! Mayb cause spm is in senior 3, so it's a compulsory for us to take senior UEC! But normally in other chinese independent (CI) schools, the students can leave the school without taking any senior UEC! Ok. Then our school is a bit unique one! Maybe some people heard of it b4! We have a special class, that's normally the Ren class, that has lower chinese students! hmmm, CI school with students who dunno chinese? Yea, it's true! It's in STTSS, which stands for Sabah Tshung Tsin Secondary School! Lower chinese students in sabah are quite rich actually! Their parents will always donate a lot of money to the school! So our school needs these kind of parents to subsidise on everything! Cause we din get money (or not much money) from government! Ok. for this kind of students, they will not have to attend normal chinese lessons with us! They will migrate to another class, n learn easy chinese! Like for example when they enter junior 1, they will then start learning primary 3 chinese! Oh yea, n inside the lower chinese class, there is even more lower chinese ppl, so called lower lower chinese students! and yea, these students chinese words are really very cute! And their essays are really very direct n funny! And somehow, we always get their exam question papers n read their essays written during exams! It's funny actually! But all my friends are so nice! they won't get angry or wat! Cause we admit our english are not as good as them though! their english are extremely good, they speaks english everytime! And only in this kind of lower chinese class, that's my class, REN class, you will get to know them, n you will get to listen to english everytime! Though they will always try to speak mandarin to us! And now think back, i don think i always speak english to them! Normally is they speak mandarin to us! Unless some exceptional students, who will never ever speak mandarin, n when he starts to speak mandarin, that's a miracle! Oh yea, about the essay, some students wrote their chinese essay using han yu ping yin! Funny? ? ? Wow, now i recall everything, i also feel that it's extraordinary! Wow, STTSS is really great!

Ok. About the pics..
1st pic Taken during senior 1 teachers' day celebration with our form teacher, ms zurinah n geography teacher .. hmm can't remember her name dy!

2nd pic Taken during senior 2 teachers' day celebration with form teacher miss chung siaw yen!

3rd pic Taken b4 school choir competition! It's a 民谣艺术歌唱大赛! Every classes need to participate in this competition! Compete among junior and senior! We won a 2nd place (or 3rd place) for that comp! Can't remember the exact position! We got into the final that makes us to dress so properly and nicely for that competition! And at last we won a hamper! and also the 名气, which is a very important factor to gain trust from teachers, cause we are famous of being noisy, and bullying teachers! Remembered got one time back in senior 1 or wat, a teacher was so angry and i can't remember wat he used to beat the teacher table in the class until crack! So a heaty news in the school that time! And also a lot of teachers after lessons, will go back to the staff office and start "promoting" our class! So no one doesn't know we all!

4th pic Ohana Wena! During school sports day! We r the senior, and so in senior 3 we lead the juniors! We so lucky to get red house as our house colour! And since senior 2, we hv been starting on electing committees and a lot of things in preparing for our sports days! We had our own camp where the junior 1 n 2 xiao di di and xiao mei mei will b there shouting non-stop whole day! And we all senior 3 ppl also whole day in our camp! Our camp are v nice! Can find me in the pic? Actually i was being blocked by the big hand! And so sad, i don hv a proper n nice photo wif the camp!

5th pic Yea, graduation day! Happy day n take pics together! And btw, i got saw this same pic in one of the local newspaper! We were there taking pics among ourselves n the 记者took our pic! Haha. I did cut n keep the pic on the newspaper! The robe is nicer than the one is imu!

6th pic Poring! Hope i din spell wrongly! It's a place in Sabah, near Kundasang! So need around 2 1/2 hours bus trip from kota kinabalu! Normally, we in kk when go for trips, sure go mount kinabalu, but not necessary climb the mountain la, or else go pulau or beach! or else.. hmm, no way else liao i think! Oh n poring lo! It's famous for the hot spring! n also the hiking! We hiked up the hills to reach the small waterfall area! There is even a larger waterfall in another place which will take a long time for us to reach/hike there! So we din go there! We went to the Bat Hole (?) 蝙蝠洞 also, but din c any bats inside cause it's jus so dark! Oh, actually is we look for bats from a hole, n din realli enter that cave! Oh yea, n in the pic, we all were wearing the same shirt, that's our class t-shirt! Designed by hinching!

The following pics are of my frens, my cousins n frens again! Ok, nothing much to say dy! It's realli a long post! Stop here n ciaozzzzzz lo...... bye!
