Feeling Better

Today was a much better day. In fact, the weekend was awesome!

Starting with Friday, when I went to Zurich with my mum and sis. It was their last day and we checked into Zurich Airport Holiday Inn Express since they had a 10 am flight the next day. So we left Marigny taking the 8.15 funi. When we finally reached Zurich, it was already 12 plus (because there was a delay in Visp, which saw us waiting close to 40 minutes for a train towards Zurich Airport. So we ended up getting croissants and hot chocolates from Coop and camping in the useless glass shelters in the stations since it doesn't serve its (supposed) purpose of keeping us warm heh. By the time we checked into the hotel, and left for the city centre, it was already 1 plus. So knowing Switzerland, where most lunch places close after lunch hour and reopen for dinner service (yea wtf I've lamented about this before. Got money don't want earn), we settled for a Sushi fast food joint. Something like Umi Sushi in Singapore, except that the prices are crazy. Like 500% of what you pay in Singapore, maybe more:O Anyway, my sis and I each got a pack of sushi and the three of us each ordered a bowl of noodles (which soaked in MSG laden soup). I had the soba (as compared to their udon) so I guess I had a more manageable time. Then we just went around shopping in Zurich. To the chocolatier, then to Body Shop, then to the boutiques because I wanted to get a pair of new boots. I ended up getting a pair from Zara that look suspiciously similar to what I'm wearing now. Lol this really feels like a one to one exchange but I'm guessing the new pair I got was a new and improved version 2.0 of my original pair from Zara in Champs-Elysee. Pictures another time because my boots are in my closet and Julie's sleeping in the room. Then I saw a coat on discount too. CHF69.90. Quite thick too and had a pretty princess cut. So of course I'm getting it. After that we bought another luggage because we broke the original one (story another time. omg I always have epic travel stories to and from Bluche) and headed for dinner at the Old Town. It took us quite a long time to find an italian restaurant although idk why. In the French speaking regions of Switzerland, Italian restaurants are abundant. They are everywhere! Maybe only people here like their pastas and pizzas. Looks like I went to the correct part of Switzerland. Also, since it was my mum's birthday, we wanted to find a restaurant with a nice dessert menu (with cake) so that we could shun bian do the cake cutting there. Finally saw one after making so many turns while pulling our luggage on the cobbled paths (not very good for the wheels. I know). Food wasn't too great though. It was passable:/ I mean the restaurant we went to in London was so much better... I guess Alissa was right? You can't really go wrong with restaurants there. So yea we had our main course then chose a lemon tart for my mum's cake. It was quite good actually. I like sour dessert:) After that, we returned to the hotel and my mum resumed her packing.

On Saturday, we left the hotel via the shuttle quite early. Around 7.30. Because we were kiasu and we were right to be because the bus was so full. Can't imagine missing the next bus and the next... you get the drift. Anyway, so we got to the airport in around 15-20 mins and I helped with checking in the luggage. Saw my mum and sis off to the immigrations counter and I took the train back. Eh this time it was pretty fast. I managed to do a bit of grocery shopping and still caught the 12.15 funi back up. Johan came shortly to watch his shows and use wifi while I cleaned the house and prepared for Julie and Rachel's arrival. Watched some funny videos and Friends with him too. Then Sherli and Chelsia came in the evening and we started cooking our Char Kway Teow! Yay it was quite successful! Chelsia brought so many Prima packs. Like Char Kway Teow (she even brought the kway teow), Prawn Mee and Curry Chicken. I should buy Chicken Rice the next time I go home. Have more confidence in making local food with friends now! Yep after dinner, we just hanged around, washed up and watched more funny videos lol. Then they left for the last funi at 9.15.

Johan came by again today and we watched more Friends and Anime lol. Julie and Rachel also settled in! Yay I have company at home now! We had Raclette at Montana today omg. So good! Although I think I gained back all the weight I lost back in Singapore fml. Anyway, I think I better work out before class tmr. Maybe just a simple Blogilates abs video. I'll see what I can do. Yay to late starts on Mondays! 2 lessons and I'm done. Then I'll probably get my boxes with Can and my greatest worry will be over! I just want to see my boxes well and alive (although the house is so well equipped and I used up most of the storage space so idk where I'm gonna store the contents of my boxes) But still, all my stuff and clothes and everything! And most importantly, my woolen tights. My legs were so cold today in Montana I was basically jogging to the restaurant lol. ok I better head to bed soon its already 12.08 and I guess the good news is that I have overcome my jetlag. So, good for me!
