Europe trip - Budapest Day 2 Part 1

Day 2 at Budapest - Bright and Sunny day in Budapest

Love the clear blue skies

Along the way to whatever we go .....

The Chain Bridge

 The Széchenyi Chain Bridge (Hungarian: Széchenyi lánchíd, Hungarian pronunciation: is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Budapest, and was opened in 1849. It is the oldest permanent bridge on the Danube

The bridge has the name of István Széchenyi, a major supporter of its construction, attached to it, but is most commonly known as the Chain Bridge. At the time of its construction, it was regarded as one of the modern world's engineering wonders. It has asserted an enormous significance in the country's economic, social and cultural life, much as the Brooklyn Bridge has in New York and United States of America. Its decorations made of cast iron, and its construction, radiating calm dignity and balance, have elevated the Chain Bridge to a high stature in Europe. It became a symbol of advancement, national awakening, and the linkage between East and West.

Europe Trip - Budapest

 We were lucky to catch a few hours of sleep before leaving for Budapest. Saida was kind enough for us to rest at her place when she depart for SFO on an earlier flight before is. Semon, saida's roomates offer to bring us to the HBF in case we lost our way. Glad to have friends oversea.

Buy the ticket direct from the bus driver to frankfurt Hahn ( 1 hr 30min bus ride from Frakfurt hbf)

Manage to find a budget flight that cost about 40euros per person to flight from FRA to Budapest, as by researchm it will take 12 hours by train from frankfurt to budapest and there is no direct train from FRA.

Even ZP say wizzair review are not fantastic, we decided to take a risk.. Thats the whole point about travelling, and we will be in FRA, so there is not much to lose right ? Which budget airline doesnt have cancel flight or delay ? Even full airline will...

 Classic photo of the plane as above, and if you are interested on how the stewardness look like !

Flight time was 1 2/2 hr and voila ! Finally, we arrive at Budapest about 1530hrs, port time.

So we took the door to door service . from the airport - a mini bus that will take you directly to the hotel door ( ours was 10euros per person ) 

 About half an hour ride to the place we stay !

Inside the apartment, we had to open almost 4-5 doors from the entrance to the unit !

No.1 Budapest Apartment
Loft unit with spacious living room with free wifi and washing machine and full kitchen.

Our courtyard view, look simple and nice in the morning !

Ok, feeling feeling to do some blogging, and done with the random update, time now is 0406 hrs, time to rest already !

Frankfurt- Day 1

Due to my "kan-cheong" mood, after seeing "frankfurt AM MAIN" i quickly rushed Zewl to off load all the luggage. But felt weird, so look at the sign board again, "Frankfurt Am Main Flughafen Fernbahnhof", seem so different from Frankfurt Am Main HBF, when i realise is something wrong, wanted to board the train but it left already. Tried to ask ppl for help but they didnt understand English.

After a few phone call, Saida told us we are at the Airport, and she will come and pick us at , cause it was too drama for the day. So we were suppose to stop at the last station, but I really didnt know. Lucky we were in the Frankfurt Main area and we do have friends to rescue me.

After we saw Saida and manage to leave luggage at her place, and we went for a quick walk around Frankfurt and meet the rest of their friend over at the Dinner ! 

Authentic German restaurant and food, with real Germans, drinking the Apple Cider and beer

Saida and Nathelie friends that we met in Frankfurt, 1st night for dinner.  Great hospitality !

  the highlight with Germans , always end off with a shot !

                                        To another round of drinks at a live band !

                                         A little Party after the chilling out.

Meeting other girls and see how thy dance, so fun !

Towards the end of 2013

As more people are aware that I actually went back my previous line of job instead of continuing in the sales line. My intention is to help more people and hopefully able to pass my skills to the future lifesavers so that they can save more lives.

I am not the best, but pretty sure I am one of the better.  I am indeed much more happier than in Sales even thou on and off i am piss with certain people. I am happy that after almost close to a 2 years struggle, I do consider myself to climb out of the darkness.

The right decision to come back, allow me to be more open plus The inconvenience of not having a car allow me to travel further and longer to other countries. Maybe what they say about "what doesn't kill you, make you stronger!" of course, they didn't say how long it will take.

I rarely post about my work or bitch about it, because I grow out of it and deem is quite useless with the same management. Working in the outside word, allow me to see the other side of the world and teach me how to use PR or choice of words , to make things easier.

Today is a special day for us and for me. This should be my 4th maternity case for the last 10 plus minus years on the road. First was a 32 weeks pre-mature baby after my trainee level 2 at sembawang hdb grass patch, BAA. 2nd was a malaysian, that we delivered inside ambulance at the expressway after i completed my O&G. 3rd was a local, CBAA off geylang.

Today, was my 4th, and knowing my part time PM wanted to deliever and I gave her chance when I monitor other stuffs which i feel more important ! Time of Birth, injection, care for the mother and baby.

We are glad that the daddy gave us the permission to take photo of the baby. It is the only happy call in ambulance. Especially if you have a standby day with CVA, fall from height.... I am glad that baby was fine

As I alight from the bus last Saturday, to transfer to another bus to Station. I saw my morning crew at the bus stop attending case. Heard them saying it was a standby case and i just drop my stuffs, wear glove and went to help. And most of them was surprise to see me, wearing half u and helping, and most epic was walter, "Eh, Jody! you are here!"

Seriously, I didnt know what case was it. I just went to help, and I didnt know what to standby also. Oh well, I was just there with a extra hand.

Last Monday, was like the only day off we had for the month since the start of the Sunday shift and work till 2300hrs. He was from post night and I was work early the next morning but we had some time at orchard to look around for gift.

Last Sunday, we had our friday date night, started with a xmas present from him and a quick dinner at marina square. Then walk throught the helix bridge then to MBS, while at chanel, thought of Faz and was telling Zewl about her, and then we saw her, and we were going to the same musical play

Staff nurse like her, plus my current station OC together with other nice people with their little gesture and things, make me feel that I am loved in this job. Few weeks ago, was feeling depressed and about things happening in the staion. Contemplating to leave, but all these people make me feel happy again.

When you Pray to God, asking for strength , energy and knowledge to go through difficult time. HE hear it, but he had a better plan for you. You just need to trust and obey.

I pray and hope for a better 2014, for good health, wealth and happiness !
