A Joke To Share With...

haha...finally im cleaning my room after so long..and as i was clearing some of my stuff..i came across this joke which i cut from the newspaper in london at the beginning of the trip..


A woman was out golfing one day when she accidentally hit her ball into the woods. While looking for it she came across a frog stuck in a trap.
The frog said to her,' if you release me, I will grant you three wishes.'
The woman immediately freed the frog, and the frog then said, 'Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Watever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!'
The woman said,' Fine.'

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
The frog warned her:' You do realise that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to.'
The woman replied;' Thats okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will have eyes only for me.'
So she becomes the most beautiful woman in the world.

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.
The frog said:' That will make your husband ten times richer than you.'
The woman said;' thats okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine.' So she becomes the richest woman in the world.

The frog then inquired about her third wish,
and she answered;' I'd like a mild heart attack.'

Moral of the story? Women are clever. Dont mess with them.
Attention all females: This is the end of the joke for you. Please stop reading here and continue feeling good.

Male readers: Please read on.
The man had a heart attack but it was ten times milder than his wife's.
Moral of the story? Women are really not that smart but think they are, plus they never listen.


haha...unexpected lerr??HAVE A NICE DAY!!

MEANS OF TRANSPORT during our trip..

okay..this post may not sound interesting..nonetheless im including it to make my record more complete..so bear with me ok?:p

~bus...

definitely the most memorable one will be the 9 hour bus trip from Glasgow to London and vice versa..spend most of my time dozing off; the 5 hour bus trip from Prague to Vienna was enjoyable for me..watched my 1st czech movie "Elementary School" (if i remember it correctly) which was kinda interesting, and had cappucino and hot choc in the bus-a total new experience for me!

waiting for bus outside Hellbrunn Palace, Salzburg..


One of the funny incidents was on our way back from Mainau Island. We were supposed to take bus back to the city centre of Konstanz..james and i were walking in front and suddenly we saw the bus tat we were supposed to take was already there..not wanting to miss the bus (as we’ve to wait for another half an hour for another bus), James ran to ask the bus driver to stop and wait for us, whereas I ran to tell the others to hurry up..and after we reached the bus stop..we saw the bus leaving with james in the bus, and everyone was startled..and the moment james appeared after taking the next bus..the first phrase he said was.. 孩子们,我回来了!wahaha!the whole situation was so funny! and according to him, the bus driver just shut the door and drove away when he requested for him to wait for a while...

~aeroplane..

1st time staying overnite at the Stansted airport, London before catching an early flight to Prague..cant belif there were quite a lot of ppl staying overnite at the airport..so it wasnt as scary and dangerous as we thought..but still not easy to sleep well with important documents to worry about..

~train...

Sitting in the train for hours traveling from city to city in Germany..for me the journey was interesting..

looking at the amazing view from the window..

snapping pictures..


chatting and gossiping with the others..

listening to music..

singing songs together..(especially all the zhang zhen yue’s songs)..

playing taiti..

playing killer...extremely funny experience..after a few days of training, pun transformed from the super-blur killer to hebat killer;kha hong and sekfatt were the silent killers; sipeng, suokteng,james and ahmeng either get killed by killer or kena suspected as killer(haha..maybe they got the keji look) ; suechoo..not so skilful as she oways had the satisfied smile whenever she became killer;as for me..i think im quite skilful *ahem* but i admit im a bad guesser larr..oways point at the wrong killer..hiakz

At most times during the train rides, we’d to transit for a few times (getting down the train, going to another platform and taking another train)

For example..the trip from Vienna to Salzburg, I think we’d to transit for about four times..

call me 变态 but I actually enjoyed running around with a big backpack( especially when the transit time was only a few minutes apart and we’d to run as fast as possible)..kinda reminds me of Amazing Race..

However, during our trip to Europa park, we were too excited toking to each other until we missed the stop that we were supposed to go down..luckily mashi and wee nien reminded us and we quickly went down the next stop which was a very isolated place..according to the timetable, the next train was going to be 1 hour later..but that day was our lucky day..just when we were discussing wat to do next, 说时迟那时快 ,we heard a train coming (it was such a coincidence that the previous train was late)..so the next thing we noe, everyone was running like mad towards the train..wow..rili an exciting start for the day!


~hop on hop off tram...

this tram saved our lives in Schonbrunn Palace by preventing us from freezing to death!!haha..get to tour around the castle..the idea of taking pictures was still more tempting..so some of us jumped off the tram at times to have a quick snap..


拼了!甘愿发抖也要拍照..:)


~cable car...

using the cable car to and fro Hohensalzburg Fortress in Salzburg..can see very nice view as well!




~tram..

taking tram is also a common way of traveling within the city..we were not used to see tram on the road and were extra careful whenever we crossed the roads.. In Prague, at the beginning we weren’t familiar of the route..and end up taking the correct tram but going to the opposite direction..haha..but it was also a gud experience since we get to see a different part of Prague..
Whereas in germany..pun as the tour guide was kinda lagging at times..he’d only inform us to go down after the tram has stopped for a while..luckily we were not so lagging..sempat to jump down before the tram moved..haha!

~walking

And of course..we've spent hours walking around everyday, never been so fit in my life!!

walking in Neuschwanstein..


walking up to the Heidelberg castle..the slope was very steep!!something like walking up the slope near our hostel..just that the journey was much longer!!

oh..and during the first nite in Salzburg, we were walking back to Yoho Hostel and we actually got lost! it was such a coincidence that the blur family was walking together..Pun(blur king), james(da blur), me(xiao blur) and suechoo(our new member in the blur family) were busy chatting..then suddenly, we realised that the others have disappeared and we were in the middle of nowhere!bt luckily pun had a map with him..and after discussing and walking around..we still managed to find our way back before the others came to look for us..kinda funny looking back nw..hiak hiak:p

FOOD...

Food is definitely one of our highlights during the trip…
These are some of the nice food that we’ve tried..
~Wiener Schnitzel..in Vienna and in Karlsruhe ( Karlsruhe definitely has cheaper and nicer schnitzel)
~Unforgettable nockerl..we had so much fun eating it..those who haven’t tried this before..u dunno what u’ve missed..


~PORK KNUCKLE..tried in Prague and Munich..my personal favourite cos im a carnivor..:)



~Beer...thanks to the guys who’ve introduced me different types of beer in Austria and Germany..I rili enjoyed it a lot. Below are the pics we took in Hofbrauhaus in Munich (the place where loutao declared that he’s a red apple:p)


(these were taken in Vienna and Salzburg)



~MC D chicken burger with chilli sauce..after this we’ll think of the trip whenever we see MCD burger..

~ the food below was taken in Stuttgart(the noodle-like thing is spätzle, the one in the senduk one is maultasche and the rest is pork steak)..this restaurant is where sekfatt kena bombarded for wearing Barcelona shirt by the weird waiter who’s a real fan of Real Madrid..

~The nice Japanese buffet we had in Sakura, Stuttgart..suechoo, pun, kha hong and I were at one table whereas bensi,suokteng and james were at the other table..with pun the 无底洞 and kha hong the marathon runner,sue choo and I oso kena trigger to eat to our maximum..we spent more than one hour eating non-stop..whereas the other 3 gave up and shook their head when they saw the way we were eating..we could hardly move after that!

~Rosti and the huge American style sandwich which we shared in Deli Restaurant, Konstanz..Kha hong and I are best partners in sharing food…kesian loutao pairing up with suokteng..have to eat so much bcos of her..
~Few meals of nice chinese food..especially the one we had the nite before we left Germany..the food was nice and we rili had fun tat nite..:)

But for us..the best meals are definitely these….

~The nicely baked chocolate cake, biscuits and brownies prepared by Mashi..we were so excited when we found that the nice smell from the corridor was actually from Mashi and james’ apartment..
~The delicious 蚂蚁上树..prepared by James..everyone keeps praising him until he paiseh..:P
~The nasi lemak.. 糯米猪肉饭 by mashi (cooked 4 times to feed our big stomach)..
~The sandwiches that were prepared for our picnic in Freibad horn..
~The Piña Colada cocktail prepared by Mashi….very NICE!!
~满汉全席 in Karlsruhe (to name a few..pork stew by suechoo, cola chicken by pun, my potato with onion:P,mu xu rou by james, spicy vege by sekfatt..taugeh by mashi..all very yummy!!)

And of course…not forgetting the 爱心早餐 prepared by the guys early in the morning(about 6 sumthing) before going to Europa Park..haha…to be honest, the moment we woke up and saw them busy preparing breakfast..we’re all kinda touched…thanks a lot ya..hehe!:P

WOW…cant belif we actually ATE all these..a bit sayang that we did not have photographs for these food.. probably bcos we were too hungry tat time..:P

POSERS..

Browsing through the pics for my next coming post(once again!!:P)..i came across many syok sendiri pictures..haha, kinda enjoy watching them so I decided to compile these pics..

hmm..maybe another reason why we get along so well is because of our 自恋 personalities..:p..
I personally like the pic of our shadows(me, suechoo and kha hong)..when suechoo was taking pics of our shadows..bensi and pun thought that the camera was aiming at them..thus the two camera-sensitive guys began to pose ( which is the next photo next to the shadow..haha..taken by suechoo as she din want to disappoint them:P)

Judging by the pics..its proven that the guys are much more 自恋 compared to us..hiakz

Another few details to be added:
there's a leg trying to kick st's butt-2nd pic from the left..st..obviously somebody very beh syok u worr..:p

there's a whole series of pics of ahpun holding the white umbrella..until other ppl kept looking at him..probably thinking he's some sort of a star from asia..haha

The most commonly used accessories are suokteng's sunglasses, followed by james and sue choo's hat..everyone had at least a few pics with suokteng's sunglasses

The most widely used pose is looking out from the window or looking at the sea..haha..actually we're ready to take pics at anytime-raining..inside the train..lining up...waiting for food.. and anywhere-beside a door,next to a statue,on the street,outside the restaurant.. haha!
