WTF.

Well, I don't deny streaming ALOT more movies online last week.
But come on, its Christmas holidays!
We should be given the discretion to watch whatever crap we want, how much we want.

Now, even loading the FT website takes agessss

Next time, I will monitor my usage closely.
Make sure I use 6.9GB EXACTLY every week.
Thats what you call maximisation!

BLACKBERRY CURVE 8520!




My webcam's photo quality is quite crappy so it does my bb no justice.

I wanted the one in violet, but Vodafone only has bb's in black?
Not sure, because I forgot to mention the colour when I ordered it on the phone and the sales guy didn't ask either.
So I am assuming they only have 1 colour option.


So much for my pink phone dream!
Well, perhaps another time then.
Since my dream phone (Samsung Haptic in pink) is only for sale in Korea.



Till then,
I am very contented with this.

Cologne. Part 1!

I HATE hassles. Especially when changing service providers in UK... Why do they need to lock your mobile phone and number!? Isn't it our rights to change to whichever service providers that we wish without that extra hassle of unlocking everything???

Sorry for the random rant. Lets continue with the main content---> germany!

Durgha and I stayed in Severin's house for the whole duration of our trip. Our train got delayed due to 'extreme weather conditions' (quoted from the announcements made at the train station), so we arrived in Cologne 3 hours after our expected arrival time.... around 9pm I recall.

And we were STARVING... Sev's mum prepared a wonderful dinner and we took a walk down the river after filling ourselves to the brim... YUMS. Sorry, no photos were taken as we were too busy with the food...

But here's one with sev and parents.


Next morning, we walked to the famous dome of Cologne. Climbed up some everlasting spiral stairs till the top of the clock tower to get a bird-eye's view of the city... I swear, half way up, I was starting to think the staircase was never coming to an end. And as you might know, being a physically inclined person as I am, it took massive effort for me to reach the top. XD

But the view was worth it!


As you can see, the top was all caged because some maniac jumped down the tower to kill himself, but he landed on a pregnant lady... so basically 3 lifes was lost that day. The bars all around made me feel safe in a way, because I have a "teeny" fear for heights.

We then went the awesome Christmas market right outside the dome.


So much food and cookies!! My favorite.


I'll end with another random comment... I love blog wars!

Happy New Year 2010!!!!

Its already year 2010. I hope everyone had a great time counting down! As for me, I went to embankment to watch the fireworks display at London Eye. The display this year was much better compared to last year's.... AND at 15 minutes past midnight, it started to snow!! The snow didn't last for very long, but it came at the right time~

And then, I got pickpocketed.

They took my phone! Now I am searching for a new phone. Any recommendations?


I am currently looking at the Blackberry Curve 8920 Gemini

The classic black one.





or





The girly violet one.

I'd probably go for the violet one, as I have always wanted a pink phone. Besides, black is too common. Don't you think so?
