Thank God, yesterday Etienne brought me out and walked around this city. We went down to view the lake at the park, in front of the court, Montbenon. The weather was chilling, but it was still fine. Etienne laughed at me when I started to tremble, well, he is used that weather though. Haha.

He was really nice to help me get the bus concession, and then he also brought me down to the phone shop to get me a swiss sim card. He paid for it! Thank God!

Well, Lausanne is definitely a very relax place, the shops are open only opened till 6pm on sat, while they are closed on Monday mornings and Sunday. Probably open till only 5pm on weekdays? Wow, that is so different from Singapore, how can any store survive in Singapore man? Well, so after Etienne left me to walk alone, I went shopping!cool man! Like what many said, the winter clothes here are so much cheaper and much more fashionable than those ugly stuff in Singapore. But there isn’t any point for me to get mine here. There are also other clothes too. so I tried a few shirts. Well, I still go for those on sale, probably less than 20swiss franc? I got myself a pair of ear rings, and a ring for 15swiss franc (s$18).

I was getting thirsty, then I decided to go to a restaurant for my lunch, though I was feeling pretty full.

Then I went ahead…….

<<>> Le dynasty!
Still not too used to having cheese, bread and those funny stuff for breakfast.
So I still decided to have some Chinese food bah…

Does it look royal enough? Haha

The waitresses and waiters there are all Chinese, and that really made me feel so much better to see your kind of people in a far away country. So I looked the menu. It was in English, French and Chinese. And as for the pricing, it is really “royal” enough. A plate of bee hon is comparable to a few plates of beef beehon, well, definitely not as nice as that. K, so I looked through, and the word “SINGAPORE VEMICIMELLI” just stands out. So I ordered that! And had a coke light, + 2 bottles of non-gas mineral water. For once, I really don’t understand why is there gas for mineral water??

So…. How did my first lunch in Lausanne looked like??

It definitely looked Singapor-ish enough, but the taste is still far fetched. Its wet, the chicken is hard. The taste is weird. Haiz, I miss mummy’s cooking!!
Nonetheless, the coke light tasted more or less the same….

Well, I only managed to have less than 10mouths, and my stomach started to protest. The lady boss saw and she offered to tao pao for me.We spoke for awhile, and get to know that they are from Malaysia. That made me feel at least near home. This lunch cost me 22.50swiss franc, and not to mention, it also covered my dinner. I really saved a lot for company arh.

So, I wasted about 30mins at the restaurant before I decided to explore more of Lausanne. I walked further and further, trying my best for visit all the stores before they close. I also took a few pictures of the nice buildings. Oh, did I mention about the people here? The girls are extremely gorgeous! They all looked like super model or something, and they all seem so filthy rich. They are either carrying Guess or LV bags. Not to mention, the guys here are so cute and charming too. One more plus point, they dress well! they really have a great sense of fashion

a picture taken from my room... rue caroline

their buildings are really captivating

the long plane trip....

Now I m here waiting for my next plane to zurich. Sitting in the lounge of the business class looking at all the ang mohs gobbling down the white cheese which I seriously din enjoy it when I was on the plane.

Since yesterday evening, my anxiety and worries have grabbed hold of me that I actually had a stomach-upset. Even till the very moment when I m going to enter the departure hall, my stomach still… arh. And for that, I took 2 diahorrea pills. How abt that man.
Really missing home now, had a dropped of tears, but still, I can’t just cry like that arh.

The air stewardess and air steward were really nice, and to the fact that I was actually kinda kind. And true enough, I guess I was the youngest in that area. Oh ya, I actually managed to watch license to wed! I wanted to watch this some time ago, but it was showed on the plane over and over again lah. Haha. In that 7hours flight, they fed me twice. First was the omelette with sausages,with yougurt, orange juice and fruits. I was trying to digest my food while watching the show when the air stewardess cleared my plate. Goodness! I haven even taken a bite of the fruits and the yogurt. Sob sob. That goes my fruits! I slept a few times, the seat wasn’t as comfortable as I thought.

Well.. lots to mention for these 7hours, but I really miss every single soul back in Singapore… sob..
