Official lessons ended on 12th Jun so we had Fri, 13th Jun free. Monica, Beetsma, Emily, Calvin and I decided to go to Bodensee (Lake Constance). Heard it's beautiful. Decided to buy the Badenwuerttemburg Laender ticket which allowed us to travel up to a maximum of 5 in a group to anywhere in Badenwuerttemburg. So we happily happily bought breakfast and the ticket and boarded the 8.04am or 8.14 train(cannot rmb) towards Konstanz. And as we were talking about conductors checking ticket, a conductor came. We happily showed our ticket to him (cos the 1st day in Germany, my frens and I oso bought a group ticket and it went MISSING! and we had to buy another 1. but this time we HAVE the ticket!).

Den he said in german that this ticket only allow us to take trains from 9am onwards and asked us to alight at the nxt stop. Den we were super sian. We hoped and prayed that when the train reach the nxt stop, it'll be 9am already. At 8.38am, the train reached Boeblingen station. We had to alight. And guess wad. We're still in STUTTGART. The same city where we were living in. We're not even out of the city. my god! and thanks to this wonderful machine (tada..the one below)

we just nidda type our starting station and destination station and it'll show u all the different train connections. which station to alight to change to another train and which track the connecting train is leaving from. and wad's more, if u don hav a pen or paper or hp or wadever to take it down, u can PRINT THE INFO OUT!! haha. it's absolutely WONDERFUL when u're lost and like us, suddenly havta alight and not knowing when is the nxt train. so we checked and the nxt train to Konstanz was 10.38am. WAD?! 2hrs wait!! We didn't wan to wait so we decided to take a train to Ulm (quite a nice town too) walked around for an hour and catch another train from Ulm to Radolfzell den another train to Konstanz. Bo bian. though nidda change many times but better den waiting for 2 hrs in STUTTGART. At least we're going to cover another town. haha

calvin and his weird looking cookie. haha. look like him~~hehe :p

that day was a cold day. windy. my strawberry cardigan (red cardigan) was not enuff. so borrowed calvin's thick blue jacket so i'm officially blue berry!! haha

taken on the train. cos nth to do. so take photos of the 2 heart shaped cherries!! haha look gd and tasted gd too!

After about an hr of train, we finally reached Ulm. town with the world's tallest cathedral and birth place of Einstein.

walking towards the tallest cathedral on Earth.

in front of the tallest cathedral. but, my cam don hav wide lens so couldn't capture everything.

see drawing ba. mayb u'll figure out how tall it really is (:

below are pics taken inside the cathedral.

after about an hour of exploration of Ulm. we nidda catch the connecting train to Radolfzell.

this was taken on the train. not Bodensee yet i guess.

and we reached Radolfzell. i was shocked by the lok kok signboards at the stations. nv seen such old signboards in my 1 month stay in Germany. Below are pics taken during my few minutes at Radolfzell. cos there's another train to catch b4 I reach Konstanz.

and here I am. KONSTANZ. like after such a long journey i'm finally here. we walked around a bit and decided to take a ferry ride around Bodensee. the ride costed 6 Euros. not cheap. but the view not bad. below are the photos.

the ferry we took.

Me and wassermelon Monica. she's watermelon cos her jacket black background and green strips look like watermelon.

more fruits to intro. the one in orange is peach Beetsma. and blackberries Emily and Calvin. Fruity outing. haha

there's almost no difference between the sea and the sky!

after the 45min ferry ride, we only hav like an hour or less for the town Konstanz. so did fast shopping. bot some cheap goods. haha and dinner to be eaten on the train and had to wave goodbye to Konstanz. below are the pics taken of the town.

In conclusion, most of my time that day was spent on trains. took like 7 trains in all. and spent so little time at Ulm and Konstanz. Maybe can choose uni in either of these 2 towns and spent my exchange programme time there. Beautiful yea?

From strangers to classmates to gd frens to super duper gd frens. Been thru ups and downs together. Seen each other cry and at times cried for each other. Of cos not forgetting the times we 疯狂大笑 on the streets. Laughing at every small little thing, crapping and cracking stupid lame jokes. And also our characteristic (not weird) conversations. Introducing my 2 super duper 要好的 frenxx: 班娜娜Heng and Toinh Long Long...*applause*

班娜娜Heng: She was my first fren in Nan Hua. And just so nicely, she stays in Bt Batok as well and we could take the same bus to and from school. Just one bus stop away. And I'll always walk to her stop to board the bus together. And she was my classmate for the 4 years in Nan Hua. 8 years of frenship and counting, she really know all my 怪癖and习惯. So she's like the one and only person who can guess correctly which is the thing I like if given a shelf of things. SUPER! 我们对彼此的了解已到了不需要多说，大家也能明白彼此想说什么。 I just need to say "you know you know?" and she will always say "ya I know" and she really do know. I treasure our frenship loads my 超爱演的朋友班娜娜小姐！

Our journey thus far:

Toinh Long Long: We were classmates since Sec 3. Before that I donno him at all. Just saw this 校服皱皱也能当Councillor的boy boy :p. In Sec 3 and Sec 4, we weren't very close. Just know that his bdae is close to mine. And he hates 王仁甫and 5566 and I love them. So this is our common topic. Our common game: 海带拳. After graduating and first 3 months in JC, I decided to ask him to join me in PJ. I also donno why I did that. I wasn't even close to him. And heng heng-ly, we both got the same O-level results and love Maths and so ended up in the same class. So we were closer and again I also donno why, 3 of us just went out together and we became super duper gd! 我们之间的对话有时根本都不需要字。 我们只需打个眼神再加上几个Hmmmmm Hmmmm就知道对方在想什么。 太神奇了对吗？

these are the things Toinh Long Long wrote for me in Sec 4. can see our common topic is just 王仁甫 and 减肥.

I don hav any photos with Toinh Long Long only in sec sch. can see how not close we were then. so only photos in the recent 2 yrs.

SAME SHIRTS!

Just wanna say a BIG THANK YOU for being there for me when I needed you all most. I LOVE the times when we're out laughing and crapping. 好友不需要多一两个就够了。我爱你们！ I LoVe you all! Ich liebe euch! 사랑해요!
