Finally, freedom at last.
3 papers, 1 oral exam. Ya!!!
But, I’m sick.
I was down with fever, flu and sore throat since last week and I did question myself if I am a suspected case of a swine flu patient. It has been a week and I’m slowly recovering I guess. Mummy and Papa are quite worried and even ask me to return back home and fly back again for graduation in mid June. But I guess I won’t be doing so. Maybe it’s the exams that make me sick because I was also down with fever, flu and sore throat back in SIM during the exam period.
Anyway, I mentioned that I had an excursion to the Europa Park in Germany last Tuesday.
Left school at 7plus in the morning and arrived at 9plus, it was rather crowded for a weekday I guess.
The rides there were ‘wow’. I guess Lardy will like the rides.
Water rides, scary rides, normal rides.
I took all of the above three.
We took the normal rides at the beginning whereby we happened to meet others took the water ride together.
We completed I guess most of the water rides that didn’t got us really wet, just slightly.
I was kind of forced to take the scariest ride in the park.
Silver Star.
Johnson took it already at the very beginning so I was on the ride with Yongyi as Dawn and Pamela didn’t want to join us. Damn, very scary can. Queuing up already super scared. On board the ride worst. I finally know the feeling of screaming with no sound coming out. It’s like tio stunned. I was practically screaming my lungs out and when the ride ended, I felt that I was still dangling upside down. Heh.
Overall it was fun la. It has been a year since I took rides in theme parks.
Johnson bought a new additional to the family of sheep. He bought one black sheep in Manchester and now a white one in Germany. So my bed now has 2 sheep and 1 bear. Haha.

Entrance.
Sister's favourite jumping shot.
Us with a taLL Zorro.
The ride that has no heights got us the wettest.
The ride when we met Angela, Clarice & Jaclyn and had 1 boat to ourselves.
Silver Star, Europe's highest roller coaster. Do search for the videos on Youtube or what. After watching the video, I then realised that I took such a ride because my eyes were mostly closed.
It’s the holidays for most of us.
Probably going to go around Switzerland next week before the guys head off for their part time job in Basel.

I’m here to update about my concept on Monday (4th May)
The name of our concept is Tivu.
A theme derived from Maldives giving customer a ‘beach’ feeling.
Preparation started on Sunday afternoon, and like what I predicted we were the earliest group so far to finish decorating the restaurant. Usually, the groups before us make full use of the time given. But instead of utilizing it till 2300, we ended at like 1900. I spend most of the time in the kitchen though, because there wasn’t much to decorate.
Monday was the concept day and we can start at like 1330. But I attended classes till 2plus and was down at 1430. Heh. All 3 chefs were there, but the other 3 guys who aren’t chefs weren’t there. Heh. Tiring sia. Shifting all the tables and chairs, placing the centerpieces blah blah blah.
Went to change and thankfully everything was done at 1800 as we begin at 1820 reception.
I was the lucky one chosen to be at the reception holding the tray of champagne. So long since I held tray with drinks. Haha.
I was assigned to other side of the restaurant that has 3 tables, luckily I didn’t have demanding guests there. But managing 3 tables on my own can be tough taking food and drinks others, serving them drinks and food, ensuring everything was ok. But I did get help from the others when I requested them to. There were some hiccups during the service and food side which I think it unavoidable.
But overall, Mr Currie said it was good but he said it was good to the other teams as well. Haha.
But finally, its over!!!! Ya!!!!!! Enough of the group members that I can’t stand man.

It's the month of May.
Exam is during the last week of May.
Dissertation submission is on the 11th of May, coming Monday.
I'm done with it already. Just need to print out my 12,000+++ words report out and I can submit it. It's like 5 months of hardwork and research to produce a 41 page report. Really hope I can score well for my dissertation.
Time for a little relaxation i guess. Haha. =p

Here goes the London trip.
I have been busy handing in my first dissertation draft on Friday, preparing for concept night on Sunday and the actual concept yesterday. Thank goodness the concept night is over man! Shall update more about it the next post.
A 2 day 2 night trip to London on a Friday and it was my first time traveling on a budget airline. Interesting eh. Haha. So fun to see the life demonstration of the aircraft procedures. But the flight was fine, somehow rather quite smooth.
Dawn, Milan, Pam and I stayed in a service apartment for both nights at 2 different hotels which Pam found through her manager. Overall, both hotels were good, because there were service apartments. Haha.
Headed to Singapore on Saturday but we were rather late because the train ride was rather long. Was there at around 3plus but the event was still on-going and it was rather weird seeing so many Singaporeans together in one area overseas.
Took the underground aka train to the next few attractions like Tower Bridge and London Bridge which were both walking distance from each other. Not forgetting, to see Big Ben which was really huge. I always thought that it was just a small tower clock.
Had Japanese dinner near our hotel and I think it has been quite some time since I eat it.
Sunday was out last day in London were we have a flight in the evening.
Went walking around the shops and not forgetting Marks and Spencer where the biscuits were so cheap!!!!!
Headed over to Chinatown for Chinese food and we had a table full of food. So fulfilling. Haha.
We had quite a little rush to the airport and the walk to the boarding gate was damn far. Too much.
Overall the trip was okie. But maybe, too short. Haha.
Look at this 2 bridges below, guess which one is the London Bridge.
The answer is the second one. 
Us with Tower Bridge
London Eye
Big Ben
The biscuits at M&S is cheap man.
Taking a picture with Lardy's favourite M&S biscuit and the shirt my mum bought for my bday. 
Lunch at Chinatown, London
On the train back from the airport to Zurich and to Luzern
