BERLIN BERLIN!
We were supposed to meet 6.55am at the bus stop 20 mins away from our house. And I set alarm for 5.15am. so I had time to pack my bag for the trip. Apparently, the previous night were juz got back from Barcelona, so I was super tired. So I kinda went back to sleep after the alarm rang. Next thing I heard, knockings on my door. Took me a few seconds to jump up from my bed and it was alr 6.20am.
OMG! 35 mins to pack and go to the bus stop. And wif Rebecca! OMG OMG! Brushed my teeth, shoved things into my bag, sarah jane helping me pack my chargers too. Chionged out of the house but forgot to bring passport… damnnn….. ran back to get it and was extremely tired. The whole trip from Barcelona to Berlin and back to Bad mergentheim yesterday was juz tired tired tired. The class excursion trip to Berlin was fun but tiring. We went to the Berlin wall, the Jewish holocaust memorial, BMW motorcycle plant (the only BMW plant that manufactures motorcycles). Went to a club called the Matrix and partied wif our classmates and walked back to our hostel at 4.30am… was so dead I could juz lie down on the street and close my eyes.
Next morning, went to the Prussia Palace where Frederick the Great I, II or III lived. Dunno which one. I mean who the hell juz adds I to their own name and give it to their son. Its like if I have a son and I call him JJ I. sounds like some star wars robot loh.. anyway, we have to wear some heavy bathroom kinda slippers over our own shoes and walk ard in the palace so we dun damage the floors. Wth.. apparently, the tour guide said the pplin the 18th century doesn’t bath with water cos they tink tat water will enter their pores. So they juz put powder. And they got fleas all the time. Yucks…. The palace was quite nice inside and it has this marble room where everything was made of marble. The room was so heavy that it was closed for viewing and we couldn’t enter becos it was unsafe.
Finally, we left Berlin and had a bus ride back to Bad mergentheim. Slept all the way back. Ahhh… still recovering from the tiredness..
Today is Sunday, June 15, 2008. going to have a BBQ later on by the river. In germany, when u have nth to do, u can always call a few people and have a picnic or bbq. Such a great kind of life… stress-free.. that is until International Accounting and Finance tmr… haiz…

VISCA BARCELONA!
After typing the agonizing report writing for change management, it was full steam ahead to BARCELONA! Again, we went to Frankfurt budget terminal and took Ryanair to Girona Airport and took an hour bus to Barcelona city centre.
We managed to take the Metro (mrt) and walked to our hostel. The hostel was surprisingly nice and clean and breakfast was included. Then we went window shopping at a nearby shopping mall. We decided not to buy anything and go back again on Sunday. But who noes… on Sunday, we went to the shopping mall and it was still closed at 10am. So we went to the playground. Rebecca went onto a net-like swing and tried to stop the swing and *crack* fractured her ankle. Nice one reb… haha. At first tot is sprain so juz let her walk ard for awhile.
Mainly in Barcelona, it was juz shopping and some sight seeing. After tat, 1am in the morning, we set off as the 3 of us guys, took turns to piggy back Rebecca and walked like 2-4 Metro stops. We were all super tired. By 3.30am, we finally reached the bus station and took the bus back to the airport.

Mannheim
With nothing to do that weekend, we set off on a journey to the town far far away, Mannheim. Ok I’m exaggerating…. Its juz 2-3 hours away… we didn’t even noe wat to do there til we got there. But as soon as we got there and walked abit, we heard loud music and saw a carnival! Although we didn’t noe wat the carnival was for. But I guess its probably some brazilian carnival.
We arrived at some rock ‘n’ roll band singing elvis era songs. Then they sang Bubbly in a rock ‘n’ roll tune and bleeding love too. Its cool that they made the song their own and it was pretty nice.
So we walked further down and there was a whole stretch of pasar malam thingy with all the foods and beers and stuff. Then we got our air-brush tattoo. Haha. I tink mine is the nicest. Yea. Definitely. Hahhahaha. Cos its on my neck. My nice neck. Lol
After tat we walked to the other end of the carnival and there was another live band performing. This time, its 3 young singers. They take turns to sing a song and the other 2 will be background singers. There was ricky martin’s vida la loca or something, amy winehouse’s rehab, rihanna’s umbrella and a few others.
After everything, we went back to our town and rested.
On Sunday there was a regional festival in our town but there was nth much. Bought gummy colas. Ate ice cream as usual. Went back and rest.

Picnic + Frisbee + Playground
went to the park nearby and had a picnic wif rose, katka, mehdi, florent, josh and the other 5 of us. for us, we made chicken mayo and egg mayo, topped with bawang goreng from IKEA. haha. it was super nice.. we used our blanket cover to use as a picnic mat since our "hotel" alr provide us with bedsheet and covers. after eating this and that, we played frisbee.
even though the frisbee flew into the pond a couple of times, and there were flies mating here and there and everywhere, it was fun. after that, the french guys left, followed by rose and katka, so the 6 of us and josh went to the playground. SWINGS! man... singapore hardly have any swings left.... its always mood-lifting to play on a swing. at the playground, there is this big net-like swing where 4 ppl can sit. tat was awesome! feels like a mini viking ship in theme parks. and that was all for that day.
