Switzerland Day 1~ Lucerne

I took the tram from the hotel to the Zurich main train station...8 stops away.

I alighted, crossed the busy street and I saw this beautiful fountain with its water frozen.


I met Kate here and we headed to Lucerne, our first stop.

Lucerne is the most populous city in Central Switzerland and focal point of the region, with a population of 57,890, . The city's agglomeration consists of 17 municipalities in three cantons with an overall population of nearly 200,000.

Due to its location on the shore of Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee) within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi in the Swiss Alps, Lucerne is traditionally considered first and foremost as a tourist destination.

The most famous tourist spot is the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), a 204 m (670 ft) long wooden bridge originally built in 1333, although much of it had to be replaced after a fire on August 18, 1993, allegedly caused by a cigarette that was thrown away.

Chapel Bridge is easily accessible from the train station. It is situated just right in front of it, so once you step out from the station just cross the street and walk towards the river.




















Later on, we walked along the river. You can see the Alps from here...oh my!!
















Thanks for the lovely trips...
Thanks for the companion...
Thanks for being my friend...
Take care dear...

Hope to see you, soon :)

Switzerland Day 1~ Murren

It was a LOONNNGGGG day for me. After flying for around 13 hours and working for over 15 hours, I headed straight to meet Kate after a shower.

We first visited Lucerne (one hour away from Zurich by train), walked around the city and its famous Chapel Bridge (pictures will be posted later on), had a light lunch and then took the train and a cable car to Murren (around 2hours from Lucerne).

At 1,624m (5,327 ft.), Mürren is the highest year-round inhabited village in the Bernese Oberland. Mürren has a population of just 450, but has 2,000 hotel beds. Tourism is popular through the summer and winter; the village features a view of the three towering mountains: Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.

It was exhausting, and the jet lag didn't help either. However, looking at those gorgeous panorama, one can forget the tired body and simply enjoy its beauty.

I am lucky! I am seriously lucky. My initial plan was merely to visit Lucerne. Then Kate told me why not we go to Lucerne, then to their mountain house *which is at Murren* and then pay Interlaken a visit on our way back the next day.

I had sooooo much FUN.... My last flight was amazing and unforgettable!

Switzerland Day 2~ Interlaken

lemme tell you 'bout my trip to Switzerland. I had the chance to meet Kate and Dan. Went to Lucerne, Murren and Interlaken before headed back to Zurich and flew back to the tiny red dot.

Let's start with Day 2...

We paid Interlaken a visit on our second day. According to Kate and Dan, her boyfriend, Interlaken is more like an Asian town in Switzerland. True enough, out of the Interlaken Ost train station, I straight away noticed a Chinese restaurant and then a poster of Korean restaurant.

I met more Asians along the way as well.... yuhuuu....








Switzerland definitely has an undeniably gorgeous natural scenery...










A trip is not complete without a great companion. Thanks Kate!!!

See you again owkayy......


Hugz....

wisdom tooth...

The pain is still bearable. The swell is yet to be obvious.

but time is running low...super low in fact.

I went to see a dentist today, after hm....I-can't-remember-exactly-coz-it's-way-too-long-ago... 4 years? 5 years??

I only wanted to do come cleaning before Chinese New Year and ehm..ehm..while I assume I am still entitled to it.

But then the pain attacks....


The dentist said it was a wisdom tooth infection. Ouch... where the gum blocks the tooth to grow. The tooth needs to be extracted.

Now.... the things are:

1. It it not only 1 tooth. There are 3. Three of them!! Although there is only one creating some problem now.

2. Man...why must it be now? I mean... Chinese New Year is coming (I wanna eat good yummy food), I am going back to Indo... and hell yeah... no more entitlement from tomorrow onwards.

3. Ugh... gotta fork out my own money in Indonesia then...


Oh... mirror mirror on the wall... why must it happen now after all??

just the two of us

Finding you is a treasure

Being with you is an endless blessing

Loving you and being loved in return is my life's worth

but

When two persons meet and decide to be together

So much love, so much happiness, so much laughters, so much smiles, so much hopes

and so do expectations and compromise

All blend into one.

I am happy...

I am sure we will always be alright...

but I do have my down moments too,

and so do you.




p.s: Never thought my tear glands still work pretty well ....

nothing is rarer than you to me

Deep inside the darkest cave
Sweet as the fruit of a twisted tree
Nothing compared to the love I gave
In the hope that your love would come back to me

Rare as the flower in the snow
Rare as the love that will not grow
I'm as rare as a man as you can see
Nothing is rarer than you to me


Sweet...

Accidentally found it in a piece of paper that wrapped The Notebook dvd, burned by moi love.
