Hello everyone *twirls around*
I made my foray out of Germany after being there for 4 weeks because I was getting bored lol.
No la, I'm just kidding to be honest. But I was super super excited I kept telling everyone at work I was going to London lol.
They kinda got sick of me repeating it heh xD
I made plans to head up to London to visit dear Sloth who is there and stay at her apt there wahahaha (I brought 'payment' ok... Hanuta chocolates, Haribo Smurf gummis and Milka chocolates!) when I arrived in Germany. It was a very impromptu trip, very YOLO. I like.
So I left on a Thursday evening and took Friday off from work because I wanted to maximise my time in London.
Being there on an evening didn't bother me because accommodation was... free :P
Took the train to Köln/Bonn Airport from Leverkusen after work (I even brought my luggage to work leh, excited much despite being mindfked by one of the directors at work lol.)

 

This airport is not an international airport as you can see, mainly they serve domestic and budget airlines so the place was pretty small BUT free wifi and that, deserves thumbs up from me :D

Airline of the evening: Germanwings

I had originally wanted to take Ryanair because it was tons cheaper but after reading so many horrifying reviews online and the fact that the airport terminal was damn far for me (Düsseldorf Weeze is about 30 mins away from Düsseldorf Flughafen) I decided to just pay more for Germanwings (departing from Köln/Bonn) and easyjet (My returning flight, arriving at Düsseldorf Flughafen) just to have a peace of mind.
You'd be surprised by the reviews I've read about Ryanair and I asked my colleagues who told me not to take it as well lol. Trust the Germans on this I say.

 

Germany to Switzerland

HELLO EVERYBARDI :D /waves/

I hope people are still reading this blog lol.

I've been stuck in the office on my computer for ages and I thought it'd be good to just pop by for a little update.

Cannot believe that I'm leaving Germany so soon. 2 months really flew by and now I'm soon moving on to the next country I have to train in.

Haven't been the sanest this month, October has been quite horrible to me.

I moved from working in the lab to the office - sales - and now am stuck on my computer because... the staff are too busy to come and train us.

Don't like how this feels, makes me feel very unwanted haha (I am that insecure to be honest).

My SG colleague came for a week and we had fun together (she was staying at my place) then luckily after she left my dad came a few days later hahah.

He came a week ago to Germany for a trade fair and we spent time together so it was good.

Had to stop myself from bawling my eyes out at the train station last night when I went to send him off.

And then when he landed in Singapore, he went home and threw a fit because the house was in a mess due to all the packing my mum, bro and bf have been doing.

SIGH, headache really. Nevertheless, I still am looking forward to going back home to Singapore despite not having a house to go back to.

Alrighty, I have been making use of my free time to write up some entries on my travels in Europe so stay tuned!

:D
