Back from my summer hol trip to Austria and Germany. :D Vienna, Salzburg, Mondsee, Munich. Wheehee. Had a bit of language trouble with the locals since we're nobodys in German. D: I loved Mondsee because the atmosphere was just totally relaxing. Imagine. A really wide lake with clear water, and mountains in the background. Always around, every day, for you to gaze at. Well for me, 1 night. D: It's a small town, with cathedrals, and a small town area with shops and restaurants. But I think cycling around in the forests on the bicycle tracks will be really fun. Austrian food is quite nice; I love the dumplings! Haha, I ate so much I got sick of them. Went to visit Mozart's birthplace and residence. Saw Beethoven's Eroica house too (where he spent his summer working on a symphony named Eroica but didn't complete it). My sis and I got a hand-drawn portrait of ourselves on an A3 sheet of paper by a roadside artist in Vienna. My mum managed to bargain to 30 euros. Sat there for about 20mins for the artist to draw. :P Turned out that my portrait look prettier than me. Haha! Longer eyelashes than usual, neater hair and fringe etc. Pity I don't have high cheekbones. Heh. My mum did loads of shopping, like searching for small figurines/sculptures to put around the house. Cute, but I thought she bought a bit too many for the first round. Oh wells. The bad thing about the trip was that I had a sudden bout of stomachaches and bloating and I couldn't eat when I was hungry. How torturous. Like I've been injected with amylase-inhibitor or sth of that sort. Anyway I've posted the photos of the trip on Facebook, so feel free to look! :D
Yay, 19 August, school reopens! :D My 1st day of school. In a mixed school. Perhaps not. MOELC can be counted as my 1st day in a mixed... learning environment. Haha. But yeah, it was fun both ways, mixed or not. So hopefully I'll have a great time at ISB. ;D Heh I seriously need to make friends as fast as possible! Need to be more sociable. And perhaps braver. :P Yes, do what I did in P1. But I kind of forgot the style and strategy. D: Haha wtv.
Thinking about P1... I was just so innocent! 1st day of school and I went home telling my parents I've made friends with the whole class! Well, nearly the whole class. There weren't any cliques, cos everyone was new; and everyone was just so nice to each other. Oh my wonderful memories of MG primary will never fade. And then for the next 8.5 years from 2001 I spent my life there! Wow.
My subject combi for Grade 9 and 10: English, French, German, Physics, Chemistry, History, Geography, Drama, Maths. Yay I'd better ace them. Or else I'll be lagging behind Singapore standards. :P
And Kenny made my day for telling me I got 88.sth% for Controle 2! Haha. And like I didn't study as hard as I did for Controle 1 but got a higher score. So weird. But now here when I watch French shows, I can't understand. I can pick out a few words and phrases here and there, but not in time to piece everything together. Anyway no offence to the French, I find French movies/shows quite boring. :/
I miss Singapore. And I was missing Malaysian food. D: Gotta get over this soon. OH! And congratulate me, I've managed to stay the same weight for 3mths+! Haha YAY YAY YAY! I need a round of applause for encouragement for my challenge for the next 3 months! Hopefully this can go on for the next few years... ;) I need to love salads as much as I love fries. Argh. This is hard. Because I hate salad and its dressing.
Nvm nvm nvm. Looking forward! :)
