Finally! I can online long enough to blog. In Germany right now for about 2weeks already. And the weather has been getting from bad to worse! haha.. when I mean bad its not the heat.. but the cold! haha.. its summer now! But the temperature was 4-12 degrees yesterday! The wind is super strong and its freaking cold. My daily wear consist of the same old boring clothes (t-shirt, jeans a wool sweater and wind breaker). So I actually look like i'm wearing the same thing everyday! haha..

Arrived in Hamburg on 16 May at around noon (its 6hours slower so it was evening in Sg already). Surprisingly it was quite easy for us to get to our hostel although everyone didn't brush up on their german before they embarked on this trip. haha.. or maybe its only me.. anyway, the flight here was quite sleepy.. I travelled with 4 other people. one of the guys started sleeping the moment the plane took off.. ha. and the thing is, he sleeps with his mouth open and only open his eyes long enough to answer the air stewardess about his preference for food. we are a group travelling around pre-immersion.

Visited the rickmer's rickmer.. some ship and i acted like a ghost in front of the mirror.. haha... (will post the link for pics up after everything) anyway.. im quite lazy to type everything out here la.. haha.. juz ask me abt it whn im back la haha... about 2weeks worth of stories.. but im getting quite sick of looking at castles and churches.. just to update, i was in hamburg for 2 days then went over to düsseldorf for 1 day and the next i spent it in köln.. the Dom (cathedral) in köln was super duper huge la!

Since then, i was in Stuttgart.. currently staying with 2 other guys.. and cuz they r guys, they take a much shorter time to prepare in the morning.. so although i wake up the earliest everyday , they always have to wait.. haha.. Tut mir leid! hee.. my host is very very nice! and we actually live in a house... with 3 floors including an attic! haha.. too bad there r 2 rooms in the attic but one is the host's room while the other is used as a storeroom. During meals, they light up the candles in the dining room and those on the dining table. If we do that in singapore, i think everyone will ask me "whats the occasion?" but it makes the atmosphere nice.. candle light dinner, candle light breakfast, candle light lunch... and its here that i really understand the meaning behind living room, dining room etc. cuz they have different rooms for everything!
sound so mountain tortoise.. but i really think i will be really fit after this trip... walk and walk.. walk and walk.. besides getting sick of breads, im getting pretty sick of walking too.. but the public transport system here is pretty easy to smoke through... they dun have gates for u to put in ur card to enter the trains because most people have concession travel.

german lessons everyday... sehr sehr langweilig!!! wa.. this teacher is the worse man.. plus we have to face her everyday except weekends and PH and some times up to 5/6 hours a day! sian... here's a pic of me sleeping hee.. dun doubt that this was a accident.. haha.. anyway the teacher is named Dagmar Grieser and not really on the thin side.. so erm... she looks like the witch in the little mermaid.. haha.. its a strange name i know but apparently it seems to be quite a popular german name.. german sort of getting better... sad to say not getting alot better... but i can understand more of the blabbering.. when they speak very fast.. now they dun sound so much like speaking in martian already..

picture of me sleeping.. an everyday sight.. hee..

The Procrastinator!!

haha.. well thats me.. permanent member of the slackers' club.. ex-co already.. 2more days to germany! Getting increasingly excited, so blogging now because I cant slp.. But the thought of packing just spoils everything (for the time being.. hee) Still about half done with packing only..! That's because I keep trying to rmb wat have i alrready packed..

Weird thing about me is i always feel home sick before long trips.. haha.. NO idea wats wrong with me.. but i tend to have osciliate between bouts of home sickness and excitement before the trip.. the excitement makes me high and that's y im down here blogging lol..

Was at suntec today. What's wrong with the students nowadays? Y are they all flogging to town after school? It gets irritating when u cant even walk faster without having to aviod knocking into people. Even the past few days during the week days, shopping centres were packed! I thought its their exam period now? hmmm guess children must be smarter now than our time if they have so much free time ha.. or were we just more stupid? hee.. rather its them smarter.. Anyway, my best wishes to all having exams now..

Jia you xue er!

My first post! haha... actually i sign up for the blog a few days back, but as your know.. shu the computer idiot haha.. got the help of anlin.. she taught me how to change the template, colours and sizes of the font and alignment.. initially the template part looked like one huge mass of nonsense.. not like it makes alot of sense now haha.. but its more like one huge chunk of words...

anyway went to anlin's house yesterday to return her piano book so that she can practice for her piano lesson tmr.. Initially i only intended to stay for about and hour.. But, I ended up staying an extra 6 HOURS!!! haha.. we did the blog, played the duet and made pizette for lunch... Unfortunately, we didnt let the dough rise enough.. the crust was hard as rock.. haha.. Its the same thing. I wonder is it us or a coincidence haha.. The 1st time we made pizza together with wholemeal flour, it turned out almost the same way. But when qiuqun and peishan were with us, the crust turned out fine! haha.. ok.. Or rather anlin made the dough while i entertained her by the side of her tiny kitchen.. haha.. u can actually touch the sink and fridge if u stretch out ur arms in a straight line to ur shoulders! haha..

This is one of the pizzette (Anlin's... cuz i started on mine hee..) baked apples with canned sardines..

Anlin happily anticipating lunch!

Hard as rock! the crust of our pizette was hard enough to support the fork..!
