Foxy pena

It's already 3.35am and i still cant sleep..Due to holiday,my biological clock has been changed..I am now sleeping at 5-6 am daily n woke up at noon (the earliest that i can recall!=p)..My mum gave me a nickname for that, miss foxy fena..Hmm, sexy!haha..
Right now,daylight is so much more shorter in comparison to night..When i began to sleep,it is still dark n when i woke up,i could only witnessed 2hours of not so bright daytime then it is dark again outside..Cool!Im officially the creatures of the nite..=p

For the past 2days,I've been going out..Went to IKEA to buy stuff n for the sake of just being out of my room.Coz i found my room as a cozy n comfy place to hibernate but Emy just couldnt stand the sight of me lazying around in bed doing nothing for days..So i decided that i need to get a life,went out to shop..

We bought a cupboard for our house..The cupboard hasnt been assemble, so the great pena n superior ks,were joining forces,hand in hand contribute in fitting the component parts together!Well,soon these 2 people thought that if they couldnt make it as doctors,they would turn out great in being carpenters..Nah,in ur dream pena!hahaha..

The next day,after went shopping in IKEA,we were out again..We were on a search for shops that can repair acer's laptop..We never been to that place before and it's -17C outside..We couldnt afford to be wandering around or being lost in these kind of situation.Remember,it is DAMN cold outside,any mistake means fatal..haha,kidding.It might not be fatal but getting urself in the cold for hours in -17C is really torturous..Trust me,u wouldnt like it either..We need a proper planning..So we search for d map n studied it carefully..The outcome was satisfying!We managed to be at that place without being lost.That was really cool and adventurous ..Independent yet manage to be successful!=)

So there it is,the life of pena during winter hols..Pena's nite life were spent majority on playing uno game,movie marathon, k-drama, mengumpat,playing games, n other non-beneficial activities you could ever came out with=p

p/s:watched gossip girls,wasnt that thrilling as i anticipated..I was expecting more sweet scenes from rufus n lily or any moment that would make that episode such a cliffhanger.Instead,they present us a flat drama.I couldnt sense any twist there.Such a disappointment! Sigh....

Vienna, Austria

Alhamdulillah, I am very thankful and grateful for given the time, strength, ability and opportunity to plan this wonderful and exciting journey. Well, due to summer and long hours of bathing under the burning sun which the temperature is usually above 32⁰C, I got tanned and darker. Good news is, we are now physically and mentally prepared for weather in Malaysia! Lol.

A brief information about the trip, it’s a 5-6 day journey throughout Eastern Europe ( Vienna, Prague, Budapest and Bratislava). We spent only a day or two in each city. Yeah, sounds rushing but we got the whole city covered, we think =p. So, 1^st stop, Vienna, Austria.

It is a small, but wonderful city. People are warm and friendly, willing to offer help, without us asking for one. Since we will always comparing them with the Russian’s attitude, Vienna and many other Europeans will always be on the winning team. Haha. The most popular spot to be are Schönbrunn Palace, Wien Ferris Wheel, and the centre where u can find numerous souvenir shops lining up.

On our way to the palace, we accidently made a new friend. Funny how we met, all thanks to the cap that I’m wearing, for having writings in Russian alphabets. This girl approached me at first, Vi gavarite po ruski? ( Do u speak Russian?) Da, chut-chut. No ne ochen harasyo. ( Yes, a bit. But no so good ). Well, that’s the initial few lines that lead to many other conversation between us. Her name is Tomoko, from Osaka Japan. She’s studying linguistic in Moscow. And because she not comfortable speaking in English, we converse mainly in Russian, the other language that we both know. Instead of walking in a group of 3 ( Fatt, Ks n Me), we were now 4.

At the palace, we've met 2 couples from Holland. Most probably they were in their 50’s but, they certainly are still fit n such a loving, fun, romantic pairs. They were very nice to greet us and asking we are we from n etc. They know Malaysia, thanks to our famous Petronas Twin tower (Go Mahathir! Ure such a genius =] ). And they were shocked hearing that we are studying in Russia, and already surviving there for 3years. Guess, Europeans have their own opinions about the Russians and I don’t think I need to elaborate on this. Lol.

Wien Ferris Wheel is famous for being the oldest in the world. We bought tickets and went for a ride. Being inside there, u can enjoy panoramic view of the city. Owh, have u ever watch a film called ‘Before Sunrise’? Starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. It is shoot around Vienna. I love that movie. When I walked around Vienna, I’m like, yeah I’ve seen those in the movie. So exciting!

Down here are some of the pictures taken. So many picture, it was hard picking which one to upload. Hahaha =p

To be continued......

Budapest

There’s no place better than home. Yup, that is definitely proven correct! Well, firstly sorry to my 2beloved cousins for not calling n letting u know I’m home. Felt embarrass when u called me today =p **blush2**. Too excited being in Malaysia I guess =D. Oh Kuala Lumpur, Bandar yg ku cintai!!

A little bit about Budapest. Hmm, actually it has been quite sometime I’ve been sitting in front of the PC, thinking what to write, seriously being at home I think I lost interest in blogging, the idea hasn’t kicking in yet. That explain the absence of updates when I'm back in KL last year. Lol. I’ll try to change that this year =)

Arrived there nearly midnight. 11pm to be exact. We hurried to the Metro, catching the last train. Something did happened, kinda funny if I retell it to others, but really terrifying when u experienced it urself. What is it? No, am not gonna tell, am keeping my mouth shut! Lol. To miss Sarah, u really are certified to be our official spoke person. The award for Miss Drama Queen goes to u! Hahaa. People involved know what I meant =p

The weather, so damn HOT! I’m like squinting most of the time. Luckily I brought my cap. I lost my shades in Vienna, the very 1^st place that we set foot on. The city is divided into 2 by a river. Buda and Pest. Buda is where the castle is and pest is where the folks live. The two are connected by Charles Bridge.U should see the Metro, the train is exactly like those u see in Moscow. The old ugly blue coaches. After all, the were under USSR before. The trains must be from that time.

As usual, here goes pictures!

Prague

After Vienna, we move to Prague. 1^st thing that I noticed about Prague are their signage. Gosh, the language is similar to Russian! But they didn’t use Russian alphabets, the letters seemed like Romanic. When we were getting out of the metro, heading to our hotel, we heard 2boys were conversing in Russian. I quickly hid my cap. I don’t know why I did that. We possibly didn’t want them to know we’re living in Russia with no specific reason. LOL.

Prague, a city full of historical buildings. It’s a beautiful city. A quiet city, not so busy traffic, people not rushing nowhere, very helpful people and many can speak English. Contradict everything in Moscow, heavy traffic, people rushing in every time and not many can understand English. But of course, Moscow is way bigger and a lot more modernize. After all, 4 fashion city in the world include Moscow ( Milan, New York, Paris, Moscow).

The city is well known for its Bohemian Crystals. My mum, fan of crystal, surely want 1 of those. And of course, her obedient thoughtful daughter decided to get her 1. Hahaha. Since it’s cheaper there, why not? I felt relieved after finding 1. As for papa, coins for each cities visited. No prob, all settled, except Vienna, the shop closed.

Historians said that, conflicts always revolve between the rulers and their people. Kings are said to follow everything told by the priests. Administrators were living in wealth while common people suffer from poverty. Whenever the people try to voice out their problems, the priests will stop them from directly in touch with the king. So does the king, he wanted to be involve directly with his people, but again the priests insisted in being the middle man. U see, the nobles are not so noble.

A lot of things I wanted to throw up here, but then I have probs in retelling stories and getting it done in sequence. LOL. Owh, I made a friend here too. She’s local, her name is Veronica. We were sitting next to each other on the bus to Budapest. We were minding our own business at first, keeping quiet. Then the steward made announcement in their language, and I saw her fasten her seatbelt. The announcement then is translated in English. N I said ‘No wonder u were wearing the seatbelt’, she laughed and that’s the start of long hours conversations. Trust me, she’s really talkative and friendly. She did all the talking, and even asked whether she’s giving me a headache. I’m like, ‘No no, not at all. I love to hear ur stories. Beside, I prefer to do the listening rather than talking.’ And she also mentioned that she loves my features. I replied, I love European features too, different hair and eyes color unlike Asian, only black. Well, the grass on the other side always looks greener.

Let see some pictures! =)

p/s : I'm going home today! WEEE!
