Just for your information.
I am back from Switzerland.
Back for good as I have completed by course just that I'm not doing any in-training.
In fact, I touched down on Friday morning instead of the schedule Saturday morning which was actually planned around 2 weeks ago. Which means to some, I knew when I was returning just that I don't want to say.
Why?
For fun la.
I guess only my family, Johnson, those in Switzerland and Yanni whom I was supposed to return back from Switzerland knows.

The plane back was rather empty whereby I had 3 seats to myself but just couldn't fall asleep.

Met the guys the night I was back.
Drinking with them which I guess I drank quite a lot after a long time. Haha.

Out on Saturday to meet Johnson, and when I was at the MRT station I stunned for a moment.
What is "Joo Koon" man? Where is Jurong East and Boon Lay? Haha
And the trains even have those directions that indicates the next station and the door opening just like Hong Kong.
Johnson explored Tampines with me because I want to see the changes made especially the new shopping center.

Watched Transformers 2 and Ghost of Past Girlfriends (something like tt) with him.
In fact I'm spending most of my time back with him. Perhaps its because we spend almost every single time with each other in Switzerland.

I'm searching for jobs now.
Future seems so uncertain man.
When Johnson ask me what do I want to do, I said I don't know, which is very true.
I really don't know.
But I guess I'm going into the education industry.
Well, we shall see how it goes.

I was supposed to update on Sunday since I was back in school but I had just too many shows to watch la. Haha.

Anyway, I shall update about graduation and the trip to Zermatt and Interlaken with my parents.

Graduation, Wednesday 18th June was graduation at Casino Luzern.
We were all busy in the morning putting make up and figuring out how to wear the graduation robe. And then off we go on the bus to Casino Luzern.
Immediately after alighting we adjusted here and there to look good for photo taking.
Snap snap snap.
There was hesitation on whether we should wear the graduation hat since the tendency of it falling off is high. Eventually, we wore them as most students did.
After that, it was back to school for FOOD!!!!!!!!!
And there is a mistake in my transcript can. Heh.

Headed out of Luzern to Zermatt on Wednesday where we stayed for one night.
Zermatt is just a small town, thus there wasn’t much to do except going up the mountain.

Interlaken was the next stop for 2 nights where we stayed in a hostel which was cheap and good.
However, the weather was good as it was raining and gloomy.
Thankfully, the day we headed up to Jungfraujoch, top of Europe, the weather was fine.
Met Johnson together with his sister and brother-in-law and Winnie and we went around Jungfraujoch together.
It was rather tiring and I K.O. at like 2130. Haha.

Till now, I can say that it is my first time spending so much time with my parents. Such as spending time with them and talking.
But it was really a test of patience as they tend to bombard me with lots of questions.

Happen to see some Bollywood action.

A guy was filming his MTV I think.

I made a trip back to school after staying out for 3 nights. It was rather surprising that there was a smile on my face to be back, to see the familiar place that I had been for 6 months.
But the school is rather quiet with most students either out for in-training or back home.

I'm in Interlaken now.
I was in Zermatt yesterday.
In fact, I'm travelling with my parents.

Graduation was held on Wednesday, it was rather fun I can say.
Shall post the pictures up probably on Sunday when I'm back in school.

The weather here in Interlaken is not good ya.
It's raining now and we are suppose to head to the mountain tomorrow.

Till then, wait till Sunday.

I was on a Switzerland tour last week.
Headed out from Wednesday to Saturday.

First stop was Geveva.
It's a 3 hour train ride from Luzern can. Sit until backside pain.
But there is nothing much in Geneva though, just lots of watch shops.
But they do have a wide variety of food.
We had chinese food which was not bad and sushi. Haha.

The second stop was the Rhine Fall on Thursday.

Located near Germany its around 1.5 to 2 hours away.

The Rhine Fall is said to be the biggest waterfall in Europe, though it wasn't high it was still rather magnificent. We even took a boat to the middle of the falls where we can get closer to it.

The boat ride

The view from the top

Headed to Mount Pilatus on Friday with Johnson as Dawn and Yongyi have things to do in school.

Mount Pilatus is in Luzern so it didn't took us long to get there.
It was windy and I didn't wore much but it was still manageable la.
The view was great as the skies were clear.
It was rather tiring though because we had to climb up to 2 different mountain tops to get 2 different views.

We took the world's steepest cogwheel up and a boat back to Luzern which was rather relaxing.

I risked my life to take this pic. Damn scared can.
There was no fencing or whatsoever as Johnson made me climb up to take pictures.

But I can't deny that the pictures were quite well taken. Haha.

Saturday was a bad weather day with rain and clouds.

Despite so, we braved the weather to Mount Titlis located 1 hour away by train.

Board the cable car and the first revolving cable car up to the mountain.

It was all white.

The sky was white, the floor was white with snow.

We were like in heaven.

We couldn't open our eyes wide partly due to the sun. But it was still beautiful.

It was cold but not that cold though as I only wear one long sleeve shirt and a jacket.

Our tools to sledge down the snow.

In the glacier cave...

My results are out yesterday.
Though it wasn't what I aimed for but I kind of expected it still.
Papa amd Mummy are coming over on Monday.
Graduation is on Wednesday.
And then is a trip around Switzerland with my parents going to the places that I have explored together with some new places.

Our German teacher organised a trip for our class to Burgenstock which is just across the school. Apparently its for our class but in the end, it was an outing for the SIM class. Haha.
The outing involves a boat ride across, a cogwheel ride, trekking and a lift up to the mountain which is the highest outdoor lift in Europe. Cool hur.
Total cost = 23 CHF
Overall, it was fun.
A little exercising with the beautiful view.
