So now yknow, there's no more surprises.

Europe, baby, Eastern Europe.

Presenting.. our very first stop in Budapest! YAYYY

With pretty berries to greet us as we enter the restaurant.

And really cool hot wine which is boiled out in the cold, November air!

Jo & I were like "Awww" *wince*

Then the first stop - at some marketplace which sold tons of souvenirs upstairs!

Presenting.. my very own magical toadstool garden made out of porcelain!

And my green cow (with her green car behind)!

Lady-love-bug :)

These pretty angels cost me S$30 in total! They're made out of dried lotus flowers.

This guy burnt witches! Eg. Joan of Arc!

Onboard the cruise, we found things to do besides slacking in our cabins!

Freakin' puzzling, I tell you. Jo spent almost the whole afternoon there.
See that girl with her hand covered over her mouth?
That's Esther. She calls me Jenny. The last name she called me was Amethyst!
The one thinking real hard (directly opposite) is Christine.
She's really lovable and equally good at puzzles!

We laughed for 5 minutes when we saw this. Zeeta (our chambermaid) was really thoughtful!

"Aye! How dare you pin me tail!"

"We are one familyy, like a giant treee.." - Dream Girls

"I shall 'shoot' you with me cameraaahhh!"

This guy looks under the ladies' skirts. VERY NAUGHTY.

Meet Napoleon, my best friend :)

This architect is really awesome. His life was about nature and stuff. Yeah.

FACTORY OUTLET STORE IN VIENNA ♥

I got purple VANS shoes and a halter-neck top from Titus. (look below)

This store's changing room was just covered by black security belts.
I asked a chick working there and she said "oh nono, no one will look."
THEN I SAW SOME GUY PEEPING AND I WAS LIKE SHITTTT.
(But who wants to look at me anyway, ahahah!)

Emooo in da snowww. (We're in Melk Abbey right now, the library there is MIND-BLOWING)

Cherub baby! *wink*

This was the treasury, I think. It has 14 locks & when the mechanism moves altogether, everyone went WOAAAH.

That night, we had the ship's GALA farewell dinner!

Shut up, I know that pose is funny.

CHRISTINEEEE :D :D

Meet Cristi, the one who's standing next to me with that cheeky grin.
Behind him is Bogdan, SOME NUT.
Next to him in brown is of course, my pretty cousin :)

Oooo look, that's Adrian the teddy bear! :P

ONUT! You DONUT! :)

Bogdan! Ooo look at him, he has light brown eyes! *awww*

This guy kept checking on our puzzle.
"You done yet? Cos I have more!"
Jo & I were like 'AHHHH' hahaha :)

Oh this woman, Andreea is our Cruise Director.
The way she speaks on the microphone is very.. sexual.
The waiters, Jo and I and our 3 tour guides made a total joke out of her.
I imitated her on the restaurant's microphone.
Awesome night, that was! :) :)

I couldn't eat much that morning, I really missed the cruise, especially the restaurant where loads of memories were 'stored' in ):

But this place made me feel way better. Lake Bled, guys. MY FAVOURITE PLACE.

I love my cousiee. Oh, and look, the sky's purple!

This is the wishing bell which you clang while you're making a wish.
I'll tell you my wish *bonus* : I wanna get into art school so badly! :O

This tour guide is really cute, she sung us her Slovenian national anthem on the bus.
I think she went off for her date after guiding us.

Spell C-U-T-E!

Daaaang, I LOVED wine tasting.

At one of the biggest National Parks in the world. One of the most outstanding ones too.
Right now we're in Zagreb, Croatia.

"Watcha lookin at! I'm strutting me sexy stuffs!"

I forgot her name, but her dog's name is Oggie.
This woman is such an inspiration! We met her at the Christmas Market in Zagreb.
She got raped when she was really young but yet she told Jo & I to love every single person in the world, despite our differences.
She really made my night worthwhile.

Sausage and Red orange juice!

This lil kitty was a lil bit scratchy but I LOVE HIS PERSONALITY :P

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LING OHH!
Cara, Char, Ling & Belle
30.11.08

Gold star earrings on my table.
A very pretty tube dress on my bed.
My presents strewn all over the floor.
(Birthdays are so awesome.)

Europe was.. the bomb.
My cousin and I made really cool Romanian friends onboard.
Those people are OUTSTANDING in almost every way!

Like Cristi (our really charming waiter who never knows what we're laughing about/ who makes massive EARTHQUAKES with his darling wife in his cabin/ who has the cheekiest grin in the world/ who really makes our days onboard!/ who says the craziest things that are so damn unexpected/ who got bored of French (EGO GUY)/ and who repeats his "hope you enjoyed it" sentence after every meal.)

Onut (pronounced as "oo-nooz" the Donut who's really funny and calls me AYE and watches Malaysia, Truly Asia and makes my cousin blush and knows how scary chinese ghosts are and laughs with his mouth closed even when his teeth are glistening white and didn't tell me he was freakin' married and says I talk like a black girl - which I do!)

Bogdan (FREAKIN JOKE. 1. "See, look at Cristi, I am more beautiful than my cousin!" *rubs cheek with hand* 2. *looks at me longingly when I'm walking out of the restaurant saying* "SWEAAT DREMMS" in disgustingly sexy voice. 3. Just look at his face, he resembles Mr Bean.

Adrian - BIG BIG AMERICAN TEDDY BEAR!~ HE DOESN'T LOOK ROMANIAN AT ALL!! He's like a daddy to me, who reminded me that God's love is also very important besides having the love in between a man and a woman, who really made me know that God's with me wherever I am. AWESOME GUY, THIS ONE.

I really need to sleep.
This birthday has been the BEST.
But really, I'm exhausted.
Look, I'm 15 years and 13 minutes old.
PS: JOJO-JIE IS LIKE THE BEST COUZZIE EVAAA :)

2.12.2008
DETAILS!

The song Decode by Paramore accompanied me on the cruise and it really flung me into this deep, deep rut.
Especially when the ship was passing some deciduous forest.
I watched them through the cabin window and I shivered.
Decode reminded me of Twilight and somehow a type of forbidden love.
I KNOW IT SOUNDS SO *WHATEVER* BUT IT'S TRUE.
I felt so alone suddenly. It was a type of pain.
The kind which leaves you shocked and gasping for breath, the type in which the tears just stay hidden in the corner of your eyes, stinging.
I don't know how that hypnotising power got to me but it just.. did.
I remember that feeling so well, and the image of trees just keeps flashing in my mind when Decode is playing on my MP3.
Believe me- it was more than morbid.

Europe let me understand my Mom more.
Her words are harsh, yes, but she doesn't mean to hurt me (even if they sting quite a bit).
I guess I just have to give and take.
Oh, and also, somehow someone has inspired me to slim down LIKE SLIM DOWN.
Yes, OMG, reader - how long have you not heard these two words? :)
So I'm going to some slimming doctor at 4.30 PM.
Right now I'm waiting for Charmaine to finish scanning the Neoprints we took on Sunday for my birthday!
Yesterday I went out with Char+Cara+Lawr+Joseph to watch Wild Child.
The part when Emma Roberts was about to kiss Alex Pettyfer - THAT PART - I actually did an AEEKK! sound (because I was head over heels in love with Alex and I couldn't believe she got to kiss him) and I made the whole cinema laugh!
Hahaha that feeling really made me feel like God was giggling too, and I felt like a true blessing in my friends' lives even if I don't feel like I'm one sometimes.
Then Joseph gave me my present (THANKS) because Char and Cara told them I wanted it!
You girlssss always remember well :) :)
Gosh, my birthday was awesome, and I was really overjoyed when I saw all the "Happy Birthday Liling" posts on my wall on Facebook! *JOY JOY *
Sleepover with Char and Cara next week! Belle can't make it (but haha next time when you're older and you can do anything you want, WE'LL GO ON A ROAD TRIP IN USA!)
After the sleepoverr...
DECEMBER CHURCH CAMP 2008!
Hell yeah!!!
