445th Post

Means the previous post was the 444th post -Like a curse!

But all is still well...
Sometimes when Im having the worst moments ever, then things suddenly take a turn of events....
Life is like a yo-yo!

I received an airflight itenary through email and the agent said:
"Please print and fly"

LOL

On another note, Ms. Felice, my pp3 lecturer is always so cheerful.. The Energiser Bunny I like :)
She always uses words like "Brilliant!" "Fab!" "Good!" "Well done!"

Spot the Energiser Bunny :)

Just what every student needs to hear~~

Ducking the Limelight

I can't help but gush at how cute and adorable these ducklings look!

According to the ARTICLE these ducks were only three years old and the photographer attempted to line them up in a row to take a 'family photoshoot'. But, one duck decided to avoid the 'limelight'. So, just as the photo was about to be taken, the duck turns his back to the camera! It ended up with a picture, which in my opinion, was special!

Then, that particular duck decided to move along the branch and ended up toppling his other siblings....

I soooo wanna have a chance to capture moments like that!! :)

We laugh, We cry. We share. We love.

Regardless of the obstacles we face
No matter what lies ahead,
You will ALWAYS have me backing you all the way.

Photography is amazing when you can capture HUGE WAVES.

But it is fantastic to be able to create a new kind of photograph - The one that moves!

Ten rules for a Happy Ever After

Sometimes we know whats right, but there are times we lose ourselves and get a little side-tracked. Here's a little help: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-1378115/Relationships--Ten-rules-happy-after.html

Picnic on Easter Day!

A bunch of us headed outside on Easter day for a picnic. It was a glorious weather with some occasional wind.

One of the laughable moment was during the jump shot. There were a few who told me not to jump so near the slope for fear I might go tumbling down. Alas, it wasn't me who did a 'Jack n Jill", but my pretty white sandals! The camera caught the moment my sandal was off. Definitely had a good laugh and thanks to Alex who sacrificed his neck and bones to roll down the slope to retrieve back my sandal ;)

Now you see it...

Now you don't!

Choice of food prepared by the chefs were two thumbs up!

Too many photos taken.....:)

Lastly, every Malaysian needs to end the day with photoshoots. The posers:

Uninvited creatures

Spring is here and so the bugs come out to play. Not exactly ideal for me living here, in a room which depends on the outside air to cool the fan-less room. Hence, it is necessary to open the room window if not I will be almost baking inside.
I've had a bee coming into my room, spider, a ladybug and other tiny insects.
The bee comes in, I run out.
The ladybug comes in, I let it crawl on a piece of paper and I fling the bug outside the window *too cute to kill*
The creepy crawly bug, I cover it with a container n let it suffocate to death.
Yesterday, there was a spider dangling right in front of my nose! The only way was to squish it to death ASAP before it ran away.

Today, there was an insect on the window, I didn't want to squash anymore insects which would result in a messy murder scene. So, I had a prescription label, which is a sticker, so its sticky. I just lightly pressed the sticky part onto the insect. Voila~~ It gets stuck on the sticker, I don't need to kill it. I just dump it into the bin and yea, it will die there but no mess in my room!



MY MORNING CATCH: Say Hello to the little thing.



Soldiers

The Royal Wedding is coming soon. The heat is on. The weather is hot too. So, when a soldier on duty faints, it should be done like this:

I also READ they are not allowed toilet breaks. So if they need to pee, they would have to pee in their pants and their wool trousers would at least camouflage it... Interesting~~

Energy saving lightbulbs

Knowing too much is REALLY not nice. It leads to paronoia. The last time was about 'freshly' baked bread, which made me stop buying those kind of bread. Doughnuts don't seem so appealing anymore.. Now its about energy saving light bulbs!

It is said to emit cancer causing chemicals and it should not be kept near to the head or used for long hours. I look at my table lamp, the bulb shining oh so brightly.. it looked like an energy saving lightbulb... it could be... I should go ask the village office tmr... Should I turn off the lamp now and not use it till I confirm it doesn't cause cancer?

OMG... its always definitely near my head because I use it for studying.

These lightbulbs emit Mercury if broken and when it is switched on, it releases carcinogenic chemicals....

The report on German television forced the country’s environmental protection agency to issue a warning against 'public hysteria'.

O.o

My Blonde moment

I think I have toned down on the food craze. It will come back, not now, but eventually. It's probably just the time factor. So, when I don't think of food, my mind does wander of to something else. Given that the weather is getting better and better, my thoughts drift back to the time when I wore long dangly earrings, ladies shoes, skirts and dresses. I've been so deprived of all these throughout winter. I am awaiting the perfect weather to ditch the long pants, sports shoes and t-shirts - things that don't make me feel female enough. I was recently in H & M in Germany and I was told by my aunt to pick any clothes I want. The only thing I had eyes on were dresses and skirts! I did get one dress in the end:) Shopping websites are currently filled with wonderful colours and clothes designs for spring.

On another note, summer is almost here! I'm looking forward to know what England's seaside has to offer while earning there. I'm also going to have to 'tune my ears' again to get use to British English.

Stirling

My spirits have been high recently. Maybe its due to the weather or maybe the trip to Luxembourg was rejuvenating or meh-be something else ;) Anyway... Stirling trip this Wednesday takes about 1 hour. Its a hospital visit to the Stirling Royal Infirmary. I was told the visit was till 1pm. I'm thinking I should not waste the money I spend getting there by leaving Stirling so early. Should explore at least the town a bit.... But then again, its not to say I'm having ANY free time to waste.... But then again.. I should make use of this trip which cost 11pounds.. Explore, then I can say I have been to Stirling, never go back there again, n move on to another part of UK... I.M.NOT.THAT.FREE...........................:(

Headaches

The past was great
The present sucks
The future, so uncertain
But, one moment of success makes the past, present and future worth the struggle.

Historischer Keller Restaurant

On Day 1, I had my first lunch in Trier Germany in a restaurant serving German food. Im letting the pics do the talking this time.

A moose

Plenty of wildboar heads hanging around the restaurant given that their specialty was wildboar meat

The specials which I cant read but I think I order the first special on the list

The name of the restaurant

The drink I was recommended to try - apple soda

meet my aunt and uncle - the cheerful duo

My meal - wildboar meat with white asparagus and fried mashed potatoes covered with white sauce. it was delicious.

My aunt had salad

Fish and chips

Rice with bolognaise chicken

The interior of the restaurant

My cousin

its customary for European ppl to have a cup of coffee after their meal. 

Their theory for drinking cofee was so that the caffeine kicks in and they dont feel so sleepy after lunch.

McD

McDonalds is still called McDonalds regardless of which part of the world we are in :)

McRibs found in Trier, Germany. A favourite of many people here.

Mouth-watering pork ribs from McDonalds in Trier, Germany and they eat their french fries with  Mayonaise

Trier, Germany - The area

I was brought to Trier in Germany after arriving at Luxembourg. Trier is an older part of Germany. It was a 30minute drive from Luxembourg Airport. It has a University located so high up in the mountains that the people up there hardly needed to travel to other areas as it was like their own little town up there.

I was told that Trier was a shopping haven for most from Luxembourg and surrounding areas as there were plenty to buy and most importantly, reasonably priced. I visited this historic building called Porta Nigra.

Porta Nigra behind me

We also went on a train ride tour around Trier. I fell asleep while sitting in the train as it was really hot. Also, the tour guide was repating everything in three languages - German, Dutch and English. The English explanation was last, so yea.. I had a good nap. Took some pictures which were n ot very good given that the train had really horrible glass windows...

More to come in the next post....

Dictionary required

Currently in a place where English is not their first nor secod nor third language....
It felt awkward to be the one having to wear the headphones to get everything translated to english.

Also, everything sold on the shelves were not written in english too. Its always either french, luxemburgish, german or sometimes dutch. Needed help choosing a cleanser and buying groceries XD

Went to a milk/cheese/butter/yoghurt making factory and was back to wearing labcoats ;)
