Shinzz

Thinking of leaving soon makes me feel half hearted to leave this beautiful and peaceful town.. Remembering the first day i got here, ‘wow,i’m in switzerland now’ this kept playing in my head..It was the first time getting out of the country all alone in a mission to accomplish..(which is already done..) Everything were so new to me.. and different to me..

Our first visit to the famous Lion Monument..

None of us (those who came together last year) understand the language even though we spend about a year studyin German back in college…we were the minority but yet we were lucky to hav met people that taught us bit by bit..(i still cant understand everything but at least i can communicate in the basic…proud of that) Now everything seems so familiar to me and its time to bit farewell.. i’m surely gonna miss this place alot.. and not forgetin all the memories with the people here.. (tanja: ich wolle dich vermissen!!! bitte nicht mir fergessen..meine liebe schwester…)

Almost sunset by Lake Luzern.. Almost 10pm and its still bright enough to go for a swim in the lake..

Enjoyin the cool breeze by the lake while sun setting…

Eba accompanying me.. So much photos only from a walk by the lake…

Gonna miss those duckies in the lake too….

A strong urge to go home is still inside me but in somewhere there is a voice telling me its gonna b a whole different scene when i get bk to Malaysia.. definitely the weather..people, culture, environment, system, wow u name it , i’m feelin it.. my friend Vi was telling me that we (those who came here before) would eventually find a way to get out of Malaysia because it feels so so so different..(to my friends who r reading this, i’m not trying to b ‘lanci’ but its the truth.. u will know if u experience it)

Well, i’ll b off from the cyberworld soon.. mayb tmr mayb sat..hav to cancel my internet account before august..but i’ll try to update whenever i get to go online.. heading up to Berlin Sat nite..

folks in Malaysia.. I’LL B BACK!!!!! I’m stil using my MAXIS num, so call me or sms me if interested in meeting up k.. (this is dedicated to CRYST!!!! like kev i need a semi bombastic gatherin.. a try out b4 kev’s)

Missin the lake already..

Its not gonna be long till i get home but i’m feelin like getting home earlier… but yet to confirm…

I miss my mommy!!!!

As my life span in FH is coming to an end this weekend..its a norm for the boss to hand out a meal voucher worth for a meal for four and two bottles of wines.. So i got one of the voucher and decided to call Vi, Violet and Lucy to hav a feast be i leave..

Since i started working there, i’ve always hav an urge to try the beef steak that looked so yummy…i repeat..’LOOKED’….

I made a reservation under my name few days before..

We met up @ Fondue House at 7pm last Sun as i was given one miserable  day off on a Sunday after a long nine days of work (all shops close la.. sien..) when we meet up.. chit chat abit and waited for what seems to be like ages before ’someone’ actually noticed our existance.. service sucks big time!!!! (please exclude me..) and this guy that i really HATE really gets on my nerves… i’m so glad i dont hav to see him anymore after this sat…PHEWWW…

Vi n Violet

Me n Lucy

We ordered a BunderTeller for starters..Its BunderFleish…I love this meat so much i’m thinking of buyin a big chunk home cos it costs a bomb in Malaysia to get ‘air dried meat’…The meat goes very well with Raclett cheese, pickles and bread.. thnking of it my tummy is having a live jazz performance…

And we also had a salad bowl consist of cabbage, purple cabbage, lettuce and a lil of julienne carrot..

The Yummiest food of the day… BREAD.. I’m a bread person so i guess i live with Bread instead of rice.. haha…

Then we waited for a few centuries before our nex course arrived on the table..a big pot of CHEESE …its Fondue time again… i’m gonna miss smellin like a piece of cheese everyday after work…

Potato and bread in cubes and lotsa pepper…into the pot, out and slurrrppp jus yummy!!!

Everyone enjoyin the pot of cheese…and what else can we do other than eating talking and sitting around waitin??? pictures!!!!

After a heavy round of cheese, this is what happened…

Complainin the white wine not cold..

Noone refill her glass of ice water..

Its stiill the same pot of cheese infront of her… ‘wheres the next course???’

Wondering if i should get in and say smth…but… jus in the midst of me standing up…

someone came and lit the fire.. means the nex pot of oil is arriving..

And my plate of beef steak which tasted more like a cold cut from the fridge instead of a yummy piece of steak… *eewwww*

After hours of chewing, finally finished it.. n i hav no more space for the choco fondue.. n not much mood to click on the camera due to some ‘better not to mention scenario’..

so 7pm to 10pm i was @ FH.. makes no difference even on my offday.. i’m still in that old sucky place.. i couldnt explain how this place seems to normal in the photos but so so so  horrible in real life….

GLAD ITS COMING TO AN END SOOONNN!!!

Last fri was my last day working with Frau Maria.. She went for her 3 weeks holidays and by the time she returns i’ll be far from this ‘living hell’.. (in a way i’m glad she is away even though its only one week b4 i finish.. at least i get some peace and quiet one last week…)

She was supposed to be leaving at 2pm but delayed till 3pm cos it was busy that day.. but in the midst of the busy day i insisted for some photos..only a few… so here…

Me and Maria but its too bright outside

Mutter and Maria.. the partners in crime…

how come its always blurrrrr when it comes to my appearence in the photo??? huh huh huh???

Maria calculating everything to return.. keys, stock geld… etc etc

Ciggies while continously gettin the figures right on the calculator…

The receiver… swearing every two seconds cos Maria was rushing her…’alles ok arr mutter….. alles fertig?? ok? ich muss gehe jezt..’

two seconds to snap a photo but it turned out blurrrrrrrrrred tooo… sheeshhhhh..

Anyway, TCHUSS MARIA.. mayb we shall meet again.. or mayb not.. viele gluck!!!

Aufnicht wiederSehen.. hahhahhahah

This is for my complicated son, Izzo..

For Cheese Fondue heres the recipe…(provided u can get good cheese in Malaysia without having to pay off with both ur kidneys and heart…)

ingredients

600g (I recommend baguette or any other kind of white bread with a lot of rind)

600g Swiss cheese (e.g. Freiburger, Appenzeller, or Greyezer) 3dl white wine

1tbsp cornstarch

1 peeled garlic clove

a bit pepper, paprika, nutmeg

Preparation

1. Cut the white bread into small cubes

2. Grind the cheese and put it into your Fondue Pan

3. Now mix the white wine with the cornstarch and pour to the grinded cheese. Cook it with low heat. It is important to stir regularly.

4. Put the peeled garlic clove into the Fondue Pan

5. Spice it with pepper, paprika, and nutmeg Cook the Fondue with a Fondue Burner at the table.

Now you can enjoy your Swiss Fondue. Use Fondue Forks to stir with the cubed white bread.

Tips

Long stocked cheese suits better for Swiss Fondue.

You can pour more white wine into the Fondue when eating. The Fondue will stay viscid longer.

The crust, which remains at the end of every Fondue is known as a delicacy among Fondue connoiseurs.

I recommend a glass of white wine to enjoy a perfect Swiss Fondue.

En Guete! (Enjoy your meal)

To keep the Cheese warm, u need one of this thing…

Nice pot of Cheeseeeeee yummy….

Add some black pepper is even better…. (esther is jus the model in this post okai.. she will be demandin for her publication fees soon hehe…. )
