What Ive Always Wanted…
Today’s my 2nd day in Geneva. I woke up at 5am and surprisingly Dad & Mom were both eating Maggi in cups.Thinking back.. I think neither one of us is used to the time difference here yet… since its 7 hours behind Malaysia time…5am here would mean its 12pm in KK…which is my usual wake up time.. lolz…oh well..I suppose few more days here I’d be able to cope up with the time difference.
Anyhow,today was quite a day. My parents and I met up with the taxi driver who sent us to the hotel from the airport yesterday.Mr.Munir. He’s a nice guy but we had a hard time trying to communicate with him. In Reynie’s and MeiHsing’s term,they’d call this “Different Wavelength”… Its because of our language barrier I suppose. None in my family could understand,let alone speak French nor German and Mr. Munir is not fluent in his English as well..but that didn’t stop us from going around the city hehehe..just wanted to let u guys know exactly what happened
Went off from the hotel at 10am.Was supposed to go round the city but due to my request,we went around to find….SNOW!!! hahahaha Ever since i was a kid.. I have always dreamt about having a WHITE Christmas…since its already January now..I dun care! I still want snow! hehehe All this while I’ve been hearing about ‘The Alps,The Alps,The Alps..oh how beautiful the place is’…when i asked Mr. Munir about The Alps,bet he wanted to laugh but he didn’t.Turns out The Alps is in France.sheesh!!!!!! potong stim..but he said there’s a place in Geneva with snow as well.So we went. The road uphill was a very..and i mean..VERY WINDING road…it reminds me of Kundasang..oh kk..sigh~ and when we reached…. Yup! I saw snow!!! We’ve reached Commune De St-Cergue (which is just 4 km away from the border of France) hehe extra info
Reaching there,since this was a last minute arrangement to ‘find’ snow, I didn’t wear the appropriate attire. Imagine wearing high heeled leather boots going through snow.A very wrong idea right? lol well it happened. The young kid in me was the happiest today. Some parts were slippery due to the snow melting process…I nearly fell like, twice?Mr.Munir saved me the 1st time…the 2nd time i hung tight to my dad.haha. After ages of taking pictures there.. we continued our journey.
Oh btw,forgot to mention..after leaving the place..we had to go through the long winding road again right.and guess what. I fell sick. Head was spinning..I was about to puke anytime. I couldn’t take it anymore so i lied down n slept. What made me got up was when dad said ‘ kalau tidur apa la ko nampak’ UHUUUUU that woke me up. heheheh ok so we went through quite few places.. I don’t really remember the names of the places..but will show pictures later on. Some of it were Lake Geneva, Old Town, Labour something something.. Union something something..hahah dun remember..oh well..what I do remember is passing by the expensive shopping part of the city. Saw Celine,Mont Blanc,Rolex,Louis Vuitton..just to name a few. Talk about living the life of The Rich and Famous…
Basically that’s about it.Oh tour today cost my dad 494 swiss franc.(for just about 2 hours drive?)which means when converted it’d be RM1482. adedeh…poor dad…but he said its worth it la ( i think he was consoling himself?)..well at least that’s what mom said.. It was around 12 plus to 1 when we reached the hotel…dad,mom & I went hunting for food…after making few turns round the corner.we settled down for chinese food. Had chasau,Duck and Sau rou..huhuhuhu….made me miss kk more! everything i do here kills me!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!
After lunch..i went to get myself a new mobile number here.I would still keep my old number but if i were to use that here.. I’d be broke so soon that i wont be able to go through life here hehehe.. so to friends that i haven’t informed of my number…do let me know k…Tried to post the pictures straight away but its taking too long a time.I’ll do it tomorrow k ppl! TATA!
