EUROPEEE WAS SO SO SO FUNNNN! :D
okay i admit, i was soo skeptical about tour groups because i was afraid there wouldnt be people around our age group and there wouldnt be nice people and stuff.
BUT one million percent i was so darn wrong!
never thought it would turn out so great and if there was anything i would change about the whole trip, it would be to make it last longer HAHAHA.
and there's just so many pictures to upload and so many things to talk about and so many inside jokes and stupid things to write here, but i shall not! because honestly, i dont know where to begin and even if i do, too much to write.
what we did there, click here to read annette's blog.
im wayyy too lazy to do day by day hehe.
so here are a couple of highlights :D
picturesssss.
the world famous vatican city where the pope (pronounced "poke" according to tourguide michael HAHAHA! inside jokee LOL) lives.
the famous disgusting squid ink pasta thing at venice. i totally couldnt even swallow ONE mouth of it. like i almost puked trying to swallow.. so we decided not to waste the food and used it to make black lipstick to camwhore with (:
the world famous gondola in venice. freezing weather to be riding it but it was nicee :D next time go there for honeymoon HAHAHA!
this picture is VERY significant. because zehzeh made me climb into it. and as always i listened to her. then on the way in i totally banged my head on the ceiling and it bled -_-" which reminds me of all the mischievous stuff zehzeh and i always get into last time HAHAHAH.
and then it was switzerlanddd, only the nicest country in the worldd :D i've loved swiss ever since a long long time ago and finally got to go there. and what's switzerland without the famous matterhorn ehh(: its the furthest, whitest mountain you see there!
talk about seeing snow.. we got to see TONS of it :D and this was the first of the few snowmans we made haha.
we decided we seriously needed a picture with michael and the word INTERLAAAKEN! cause he's been saying it since day 1. like every day he repeats the word like at least what.. 10 times? LOL. from left to right.. zehzeh, emmanuel, me, michael, annette, constance, lynnette.
and THESE TWOOO! im soo in love with them. they meant tons to me during the entire trip. meet constance! :D she's on the left and she's 9 years old. and meet emmanuel! :D he's on the right and he's 7 years old. 2 years apart, just like zehzeh and me!!! and they're so special because when i see them, i see zehzeh and i when we were young. kinda like going back 9 years in time. how i wished that could happen. we'd quarrel over the stupidest things and disagree over the smallest, most silly things in the world. but that was what made the two of us what we are today ehh! HAHA i love my sister.
the last of our snowman endeavors! HAHAHA we tried to make it life size but we arent pro enough LOL. its super cute can! and the 1.50euro carrot noseee. what an expensive snowmannn AHHAHAH.
SHAUN! :D he's from ACS too. and i didnt know he was. since day 1 i thought he looked familiar and it wasnt till like day 3 did i find out we were ACSians! cool (:
i still have problems spelling all the crazy late night parties and laughing at elmo/ernie and hanging out! it was wayyy fun (:
the 4 of us, inseperable! is that how you spell it? its been a year since i spent 24/7 with my family. and it was totally worth it :D i love my dad and mum and sister ALOT.
emmanuel! (: he's so similar to what i was 9 years ago?? i dont know. i still see zehzeh and i when i see constance and emmanuel HAHA.
the view outside the plane on the way home was georgous! :D but i really dislike long plane rides.. drains your energy HAHA!
stanley, joy, zehzeh, me, shaun! these people just made the trip so so so much better :D and i guess this was the last picture we took before leaving the airport. it was just damn funny laa! all the bridge games and interlaaaaken and luuucky ahhh and all that crap. i miss it! and SHAUN ahhaha the gambler dudee scene we saw was insanely hilarious omgoshhh. so yeah la in a nutshell, it was worth it- very very very worth it! i really didnt expect it to be this great but it turned out beyond what i'd ever expect.
and amidst all the fun and all the sightseeing and money spending, God was indeed with us through and through. i really didnt realise it until later on in the tour. i mean, everything was already planned by HIM since months and months ago.
few months back, i was complaining that we would be overseas during youth camp. the entire family compromised with my whining and chose to go earlier. it seemed like a total "okay leaving this early because shaunald complained" decision. but when i saw God's protection over us, i was like WOW! had we gone later, we wouldnt have visited venice because it was flooded 1.6m the day after we left.
and like rome had a riot sometime later. then there was this other tour group that had the same program as us, just that it was backwards. had we chosen that package, we would've to face the dangers of the riot in rome ehh.
i think God was so in control! and praise HIM for that (:
yupp i guess that was basically highlights of the trip? of course there are tons moree but lazy to type.
okayy church camp another dayy!
strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
we will wait upon the Lord

Our hope our strong deliverer

the everlasting God
You will not faint
