Street Dance

Since Leeds is organizing a Healthy Week campaign this week, I decided to take part in some of the course available. One of it was street dance... So Ken Wayne and I decided to just join this dance club for fun since it's only for a day.... So we paid our 1 pound and went for the class...

The lesson was held in the Dance Studio in the uni.. We reached there about 10 mins earlier.. We were looking for the studio as it was our first time there.. lol... Anyway, when we found the studio, we got a little shock coz it was all girls.... I tot we went to the wrong place.. So Ken Wayne went and ask one of the girls if that's the studio where the lesson will be held... SHe said yea and asked us to go in.. I was like.. Seriously.. We went in and after another 10 mins or so another guy came in.. Thank god.. I tot it's an all female lesson.. lol..

Well, the dance lesson was quite nice just that my body is too stiff to do most of the moves.. lol...and the instructor was really good.. I couldn't follow most of the moves that he taught.. lol.. Overall, it wasn't too bad..

Anyway, I'm kinda tired now.. Next up will be paintball this Saturday in Darlington.. woo hoo.. It's been a while.. will update next time.. till then.. cheers..

Germany trip

First of all before I start posting all the pictures taken in Germany I would like to wish my mom who celebrated her birthday last week, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY...


Dad and Mum

Alrite.. after weeks of slacking, I finally edited some of the pictures which I took in Germany.. There's so many of them.. sigh.. anyway, I just took a few to post it up... I stayed in one of the youth hostel in Mannheim..The hostel was very clean and it has 3 double decker beds.. However, one thing which I didn't like about the place was the toilet.. The showers has got NO doors.. It was cold and I am not comfortable bathing with other naked guys.. lol.. Therefore, I only went to the showers in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep...

The weather there is so freaking cold and even though all of us were wearing 4-5 layers of clothes, we could still feel the cold... And it was also snowing over there although its not much but then u could see the frozen spider web, one of the river in the castles.. we even broke one some of the ice by stepping on... lol..

During my stay in Germany, I've visited about 5 cities (Heidelberg,Karlsruhe, Schwetzingen, Stuttgart, Mannheim) in Germany and 1 in France which is Strasborg.. Strasborg is about 2 hours by train from the place I stay.. Went to Stuttgart where the Mercedes- Benz Museum is located.. the place is pretty cool with all the types of cars mercedes has produced... However, since it was Christmas season, there's so many Christmas markets around where they sell the famous German sausages, candies and also Gluhwein(some hot red wine) which keeps your body warm.. Din really like it..

Traveling around in Germany is so easy with the trains and trams available and its quite cheap if u travel in a group.... Other than the christmas markets, we also visited some castles, gardens(imagine walking in the garden where the temperature is negative degrees celcius), museums and also did some shopping.. For me,, I was eating most of the time with all the candied peanuts, German sausages, etc.. lol... In Strasborg, we went to this restaurant called SEGA FREDO, where I heard from Isaac that they have a branch back in Malaysia.. I never heard of it though.. Anyway, the food there was just ok.. not too bad...

And on the last day of the trip, we decided to try the famous pork knuckle.. The thing is huge and I din know how I managed to finish the whole thing.. lol.. it taste good and we had some beers to go with it.. Imagine taking beer at 12pm in the afternoon.. lol.. It was a very tiring trip where I had to wake up like 7 am everyday so that we could travel to other cities... However, all of us had fun for that 5 days... lol... Hwei Chuin's friend who is currently studying in Mannheim Uni, took us around to all the cities.. Have to thank her for that..

one last group picture before we left Germany...

On the last day, we packed our stuff and leave for Frankfurt Hahn airport and waited there for almost 4 hours before we could hop onto the plane for our flight back to London... there was an hour delay.. sigh.. since we were all so bored and got nothing else better to do, we decided to play Big 2 while waiting.. lol..





Well, that's basically some of the pics I took in Germany.. too lazy to blog on the stuff I did over there.. lol.. It was a nice experience... my first trip to Europe.. lol... So, till the next time... Enjoy reading and take care guys and girls...
