sunny singapore.

my mom thought i was asked to home quarantine bcos i haven been out since i came back. LOL. ok technically i went out last night/morning when the bf came over. but thats just to the neighbourhood to eat breakfast. at 5am. and for that short moment, i got all sticky even though i'd just bathed a few hrs ago. humidity really kills.

so my weather widget is still set in Münster and the current temp is 12 deg. time is 7am. oh how i wish i was back there, snuggling inside my sweater and typing this. but unfortunately im back. i dun really dare to face the weather outside. =x paris was sweat-inducing hot but uh, little humidity so i was ok with it.

anyway, I REALLY MISS GERMANY. Münster, Bonn, Köln, Bremen, Berlin, Stuttgart.
Efficient, clean, modern public transport. and dun say singapore's is like that bcos in germany, feel free to bring ur bicycle (not folded), dogs, prams, wheelchair up the bus, train and whatnot. there are special allocated spaces. they are truly disabled/aged friendly. well. the train station in Münster doesnt have elevators but other cities do. so ya.

And i love the little quirks of the germans. like how complete strangers will shout out "gesundheit!" whenever i sneeze. so sweet. haha. and how sometimes they will greet you on the train/bus with a simple hello/goodbye.

oh anw i caught this episode of germany's next top model and coincidentally, they brought the top 3 to Singapore! it was totally surreal. haha. they did a fashion show for alldressedup. they werent really that pretty but i liked the black girl and i later found out in the papers that she won!

a summary of amsterdam/paris/london:

Amsterdam: im really glad i went back to amsterdam even though we had a field trip there because i saw the nicer side this time. the previous time all i saw were hookers at their windows, sex shops, coffeeshops and black people. i din get a very good vibe. but this time, we travelled way outta the city centre to the suburbs.... to see a windmill! heh. and on the way while getting lost, we encountered a friendly local with reallyyy cute dogs, a lovely old folk's home (each person gets their own garden and house) and amazing houses.

Paris: supposedly the city of romance but when i first arrived i got a huge shock. i think my expectations of this city were too high. dirty train stations and roads, too many black people, super confusing metro, and wayyyyy too many tourists. but it was still a lovely place. spending 3 days there was definitely not enough. the landmarks were gorgeous and breathtaking. beautiful architecture as usual.

London: the city of musicals!!!!! for every musical, there was a theatre JUST for it. so Wicked, Phantom, Sister Act, Dirty Dancing, Billy Elliot, Avenue Q etc etc all had their very own theatre. you can imagine the amount of theatres they have! There were posters promoting the musicals everywhere! LOVES! London was another crowded city. but besides that, me like! and when we were there, stars like Megan Fox, Shia Labeouf and Britney came!! but we were totally oblivious. i only found out the next day in the tabloids. =((( london is amazingg! Stars are always in the city. i wonder if londoners know how lucky they are. but i dun think they care. haha. and some of my fave british bands were like having concerts here and there but too bad not during when im in london. =( i just really dun like staying in this part of the world ya noe. NOONE ever comes here. and if they do, its once every donkey years. and for that, i love london!

yup. i love every city that i went to. i love europe!! i wish i can travel like lucas! germany, rome, vatican city, venice, vienna, paris, barcelona and god knows where else. saw some of aalok's pix and they are gorgeousss!

im europe-sick!!! =((
