yeah! i had a really satisfying lunch just now at nottinghill nonya restaurant with wl and jk~ gosh! had beef rendang with rice, vege and nonya kueh!!! i couldn't have imagined myself eating nonya kueh here! there's no babi pong teh though (from xiao niang re). am contented. and went over to bayswater to get 2 jar of kaya for 4 pounds! kinda ex actually but i miss kaya toast and 3 packets of tangyuan, with 10 in each packet. and each packet costs a mere 1.2 pounds! really cheap! woot! haha... i feel like revisiting nonya sometime soon... can go portobello also...

And finally, we went to the world renown Geneve! we've read so much about it in textbooks and finally i'm in this really famous place. not many attractions to go to actually, but i'm contented with visiting these big institutions. and along the way, we got a little lost and this kind singaporean gave us directions, and she happened to be from hwa chong too and is working at switzerland now! what a small world! like what she said, the hwa chong community in UK is really strong! i totally agree!

So after Lucerne, we went on to Bern, the capital of Switzerland and stayed a good 6 hours there. had my nice pork knuckle there for lunch and went to look at the bear that gave this capital its name. though it's the capital, it's less bustling compared to geneve and lucerne. but really a peaceful town~ alright, photos again!
