Hmm dunno why I went there so many times...but this song reminds me of Paris.. :)

..Paris 2012..

The second video I ever made, properly edited with music and such. Music is by Kings of Leon, the song is Use Somebody. Pretty much sums up our trip to Paris. Unfortunately we didnt take much video of other places, but I'll try making some other random videos later. Enjoy.

..Planning..

So last Saturday we were planning about the hostels, bus, flights, and so on about our impending winter eurotrip. The motley crew this time around was to be me, Diana, Ipe, Ajee and Ain. The bubbly Sharifah wasnt to join us as she promised her mom to go back to Malaysia for awhile during this winter holiday, so that was a bummer. Anyway, we already paid for the flights and bus, the hostels looks decent, and I think we are ready to go :p I'm keeping the places that we are going to go as a secret as I havent told my parents about the places yet, but they already gave their consents. They're as cool as any parents can get, and I am eternally grateful for that.

 Dol with our sushi bill. Yeahh it wasnt that bad of a deal.

Last Saturday my buddy Yumnesh invited me to join his superstar handball team to participate in the rsmu's handball tournament or whatsitsname I don't really give a rat's ass. We raped and pillaged all the other teams as we won the tournament, though I didn't score at all. I did have a shot at it, but my penalty shot was blazed into the kop and out of bound. I was just a substitute, but I could care less. Its my first medal of the year, and I hope to collect more as I am about to finish studying here in Moscow. Yeah, sports is a major thing in my life. I play futsal, football, handball, basketball, badminton. But mainly I play futsal these days.I don't really have the talent, but I try to make it up with my hardwork and dedication.

Handball champions. Dammit I look like a douche at the back.

As we inch closer to the end of the roman year of 2011, why dont we stop and think, what are the things that we have done this year? How about those new year resolution? Any luck with that? Have you been a good boy or girl this year? Did you make your parents proud or make them suffer? Any thoughts on your future?

Fuck I'm getting old.

Sooo...last winter holiday I went on a Eurotrip again, this time with Hazirah (Ajee), Irfan (Ipe), Diana (Yana) and Sharifah. It will be my first time traveling by train around Europe, so I was looking forward to it, the experience and all. The weather was of course, unforgiving, but you have to expect that, since it was winter. It still is winter here in Moscow, what with blizzard and all. Truth is, traveling during winter is much much cheaper for us students. But just a few hours before boarding Air Berlin at the Moscow Domodedovo Airport, there were news about suicide bombing at that exact airport. Not wanting to worry my parents, I called my dad and told him about it. He just told me take extra care and don't walk alone. You'll never walk alone =p Ipe quickly called Air Berlin and asked them about our flight, and it seems that ours was good to go. Due to the commotion, the taxi asked us to go to the airport an extra 2 or 1 hour early because he don't want us to run into trouble in regards to the tragedy. When we arrived there, it seems like its normal and really, the only thing was that there more Militsiya (police) personnel and police dogs. Other than that, you wouldn't know that a bomb exploded just hours ago. Russia just has her ways of covering up eh.

We arrived in Berlin in the morning, the flight was excellent, good job Air Berlin. I think this would be my second time in Berlin Tegel International Airport. Didnt really had breakfast much, because Berlin would just be our transit before taking the train to Prague in the afternoon, so we kinda have to rush. Sharifah and Ajee havent been to Berlin before, so they were extra excited. But Ajee and Ipe were rushing us so much so it gets me kinda annoyed. The weather was pathetic. It was raining, windy and cold. As it was, the train terminal was not that far away from the famed Brandenburg Gate, so we took a walk. And it was a hell of a walk, what with the rain and all. Funny thing, we bumped into our batchmates, Kumen, Hari, Yan and their girlfriends. Out of all places, heheh.

We didnt really went anywhere far, just around those places, the Berlin Memorial, buying souvenirs and stuffs, then went back to the train terminal to have a rest and a good decent lunch. The lunch was a Turkish meal, and it was delightful. Expensive? Yes, but this is Europe, and something's gotta give.

After a very delicious lunch, we boarded the train, and we were off to Prague, Republic Czech :)
