europe again ..

I MISS EUROPE :( the cold air , the food , the shopping , the views , etc .

anyways, i don't get it why people who have been to europe told me that the food there is not really good. according to me, the foods there were so good! even my mom, who used to hate western food , said that the foods there were good. the chinese food, thai food, indonesian food there were good too . my most favourite food(s) that i ate there are german food and french food . the macaroons there were insanely good too! my trip to europe was somewhat like a culinary tour ;) food lovers should definitely go there!

this was in frankfurt



this one is at cologne's main cathedral





beside the church, there was a shopping street there. ow yeaa , i shopped a lil B)



in front of one of the most famous bakery there. i tried some of their breads and they tasted good! somewhat different from the breads here . the apple struddel was yummy too

LOLOL

this was in volendam , netherlands :)



atomium in brussels



in front of napoleon's school when he was a kid (i think . hehe)

lugano lake ..

this was at venice island. the architecture = gorgeous!

firenze :)

this was dad's idea :p

colosseum!

sooo this is the end of the post . i don't know what has happened but photobucket was insanely fast!

i hope you enjoy these pictures ;)

some unimportant blahs

examens mensuels et revoir la liberté bonjour! (goodbye monthly tests and hello freedom). all my marks in this monthly test have improved .. well , except one .. :( and my general paper result is still pending. fingers crossed

okay, so i'm currently in a mood to blabber a little bit in my blog. first, i freaking hate being compared with someone else. and the worst thing is when you are compared with your closed ones. some people have been comparing me and my closed ones and .. they talked it at the back of me. pathetic much? i know i'm not as smart as that person and i'm also not as hardworking as that person too. but when somebody did that, i prefer to keep my mouth shut instead of commenting because .. hmmm i don't know . what should i do? :(

then , another thing is regarding to my admission. the enrolment is opening in october (which is about 10 more days!). and .. i have to do everything by myself. my dad said that i have to be independent. but come on ! independent in this kind of situation? i even called one of the schools by myself. and unfortunately, the person did not really understand my accent and she said 'can you please speak slower? because i don't understand' dang dang. somebody help me in this thingggg :'(

lastly, i hate it when someone started being crafty-ish (cunning) to get anything they want. semi-egoist and semi-cheater

gottagoo hubbub-ing (this is what i got from google translate from the english of 'galau' lol)

another update .. my dad has (finally) helped me by calling my auntie there (she's a teacher) . she told dad all the procedures.. very very complicating. but i'm kinda relieved too :)

i love this album sooo much :D for those who likes R&B/pop music, you should really download this album !

download it here

these also ..

Pixie Lott - Blackout (ft ke$ha) (but i can't really hear ke$ha's voice :s)

Joe Jonas - Just in Love (sorry no dl link for this ;p. i've closed the window of the site)

anyways, i'm sorry for lack of post. i am currently in the middle of my monthly tests. dangg i'm so scared of my physics :(

imma post something meaningful next week :)

p.s. happy birthday (again) to my dearest friend, Sheila ! thanks for the yummy opera cake . :*
