Whew. Back at long last. In touch with civilisation at last. Was like busy reading ppl's blogs, checking mail and stuff, and oh ya, like getting cleaned up after that 11 hour long ride. Anyway I thought it was good for me to go on this europe trip to see how europe is like since I so like want to study at germany. Cuz it wasn't as fantastic as like I imagined. Sure, there are like so many nice buildings and things and all but there are other small little things here and there that also make u think twice. And all these also make u appreciate ur ctry more.

Anyway here's a list of why I love Singapore more after this trip:

FOOD

You would be forgiven if u are scared of eating bread and pasta and pizza after returning from europe. It's like bread bread and bread everywhere (and also the cheapest stuff to eat la, restaurant food is like, one meal there can get u a zhu3 chao3 feast back here). Bell would LOVE it there tho :) but not me. Every morning facing bread bread and more bread made me scared liao. And drinks there are quite ex too (esp in switzerland) except for mineral water. And also like finding chinese food ins ome ctries is so difficult and when u finally do it turns out to be so ex u think u'll prefer to go back to the food u face 24/7 - bread. (Think 3.95 euros = SGD $8.80 for three siu mais. Like eating gold nuggets... -.-) THANK THANK GOODNESS we brought instant cereal and noodles there or else I will hin2. And one more thing. I can open my mouth and let water flow into it then swallow it if I feel thirsty without having to fear if I will be hogging the bathroom the next day while I'm in singapore.

LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION

In singapore I get ard pretty fine with the tongues I speak, and I almost easily catch anyone talking bad about me in front of my nose. But there I can't, unless I pick up german and/or french. Dammit la sometimes at some cafes or supermarkets when I kick a small little fuss about their goods, or when sometimes we happen to be a little mroe hungry and take more time/food for breakfast, they start to mutter under their breathe in their tongues I can't understand. Grr... -.- And worse still in France when some ppl dun understand (and hate it too I guess) english or english-speaking ppl, they just mutter a few lines of french and dao u. yup they just raise up both hands opening both palms and skae their heads and move on to the person next in queue. Damn I hate those stinking french (parisians mostly). They dun even bother trying to make some sense out of the frantic actions and signs u are making... But ppl in Lyon are MUCH nicer tho, so the french are forgiven haha :)

CLEANINESS

This is the ultimate ultimate reason why I LOVE LOVE singapore so much. Simply becuz it's clean la. Now I truly truly appreciate the title of singapore being a CLEAN and green city. it's like in some cities (esp Rotterdam and frankfurt) u have to look at the floor as u walk. No it's not becuz we are more inferior than the caucasians or anything but because there are lots and lots of land mines there. Ya. Spits and dog poo EVERYWHERE! Did I mention EVERYWHERE? Yes I think I did. If u happen to be looking for some landmark and monument and u keep ur head up for just 10 steps, u're bound to find sth white or black or worse brown under ur shoe. And if u dun have a spare toothbrush to clean it my guess is ur shoes will be sleeping outside the hotel rm. Yup. As if being shorter than them is not bad enuf we still have to bow our heads. Ew.

Yup that's about 1/2 of the ranting I have to do. Shall type the long long entries I write in my diary while in europe tml. Very tired now. Gotta nap. Laters.
