Day 4: 26th July 2008

we left berlin with too much memories to be cherished. we had to say good bye to wan, kamal and helmi as they were goin to their fren's hse. we were heading to munich with zaim, our loyal fren and tour guide. we departed from haupbanhof berlin by a train at 12.30 pm heading to munich. the train is far from what we expected since there was some problem and instead of getting a new train, we boarded an old one. to deviate our mind from the scorching heat in the train, we chilled out by playing cards. a game that made me addicted to it haha. who knows, our happiness was someone else's annoyance. 

we laughed like hell when we noticed that the person's face who got annoyed and asked us to keep quite looked like sarah raisudin, asrih's fav singer back to msia lol. 

the 9 hours journey would not be reaching its destination if it's not because of zaim, the only person who can speak Deustch. i remember one incident where zaim was sleeping because he was extremely exhausted and we were approached by the ticket controller, telling us an alien language that none of us can pick that up.

"%$^7**@$^&$$%*" he said.

me: zaim tdur d blkg...zaim o zaim... [ still my soft voice could not wake him up]

fren: eh cmn ni? zaim mana? apa ni? [panicked]

one lady that sit next to us translated what the man said to us just now.maybe she could sense that we could not understand the man. we were told to move to the next carriage since the carriage that we were on will be disconnected. we talked about this lady n her fam whoz really nerd just now, but she bacame a big help to us. she has a wonderful son who read all the way and one of my fren made joke out of that..."potential sofyan b yusuf, replacing sufiah" she said...and how is that could not make u laugh? hahahaha

maybe God wasn't happy with what we did, so as a punishment we had to sit in front of the WC for the next 3 hours in the new carriage. but that is not the worst thing. we need to be alert all the way because a bunch of drunk people keep passing by [o, have i told u that we were so sleepy n tired?]. silap2 haribulan kena tempelak huhu. so for this, i thank my fren N, with her wit and hilarious jokes can owez make my sleepy eyes go wide. can geletek my stomach till i couldnt ask for more. i bet, without her in this trip, it would be a dull one. muahss munkie sis :)

in the train..yule, aku pjm ja ni hehe

white and pink clan..erk campur coklat2 sket :p

we arrived in bayern aka bavaria where king ludwig was once ruled this country. buchuk, a fren of zaim fetched us up in the train station. and that night we were advised to sleep early because d trip to castle will be on the next morning. o ya, thanks to buchuk and the whole hse for the hospitality and the deliciously yummy food that u cooked. nnt boleh la hntr recipe ya? :p

Day 5: 27th July 2008

we left home at 930 am, excited to visit the sleeping beauty castle that we have been talking about since this plan took place. there are two castles in the area, situated close to one another. one is built for the king's family as their "rumah rehat" and another is the big one that we visited. the king was found dead in the lake near his rumah rehat. the cause of death is claimed to be unknown until today. but it's believed that it was due to a great depression of having debts to build the new castle. o ya, he was unmarried and another claimed that he was playing for another team [ yule's politically correct way of addressing this group. for more details, kindly buzz yule ok? ]

the journey to the castle by train took us 1 and half hour.but it worth every second that we spent tho. few steps into the jungle reminded us of ranau. the view from the castle lawn resembles batu caves! so pple, dun bother to travel miles away from family when we have it all in our homeland haha. here are some pics taken around the castle that worth sharing :)

Day 6: 28th July 2008

cool isn't?

calculating on how many on calls do i need to buy this car 

we rushed back home since we have planned to cook for them,  as a return for the food for the last few days. so after a long discussion last nite, we agreed to cook chicken curry, vegetables wif oyster sauce and dessert: tiramisu.

mommy N, papa asrih, sis wada and lil jamiey cooking like a fam :)

end results: chicken curry wif extra carbon flavor, tiramisu with bketul cheese and sayur tumis

Day 7: 29th of July 2008

last day in germany. o i hate the parting scene. everyone was apologizing and thanking the host for the 5 star hospitality. for my dear fren zaim, thank you 4 everything! tQ 4 being that cool mlayan ragam kami :). 

our flight from frankfurt to dublin will depart at 10pm. travelling in the strange land without our translator and guide to frankfurt was a bit challenging. i remember how one of my frenz was so panicked till the ticketing thingy was passed to us. that is what i said, u'll see the real colour of a person when u travel with em. from there, we could learn much on how to behave and act in certain situation when u need to.

we arrived in dublin safely that night at 12 am and had dinner at asrih's before me and N got sound sleep after the long journey.

 

for my travel mates and anyone who involved in this trip, maaf andai ada tkasar bahasa, perlakuan yg mnyinggung perasaan dan yg swaktu dengannya.

i have absolutely say this trip is a trip to remember. life goes on, but what we had in this wonderful land will remain as memory, a sweet one indeed.
