hi all,

 

i m back from my post exams travels in barcelona and london. It was really tiring, but definitely worth it! i think i have never took planes so many times as i did last week. Haha..budget airlines really revoluntionise air travel. I nv dreamt of travelling around europe at this age of 22! Yupz, i muz really thank god for being so lucky.

 

havent got time and mood to sit down and slowly blog about my travels, which i must do soon before i forget and lose the feeling. Haha. Right now, i have just packed most of my stuff into my luggage. Or rather, stuff everything into bags so that the housemaster can check the room. And i had a great evening with my neighbours trying to estimate the weight of my luggage. Some say abt 10kg, some say more. We have tried many means to correctly estimate the weight and our tools were cartons of glass bottles and a mini 2kg weighting scale. Obviously it wasnt accurate until we decided to use the bodybuilding machine outside Jose room. So we brought our luggage 2 storeys down and use the metal rod as the balance scale! haha. Andreas even brought the ruler to measure the midpoint of the rod. Really nice. And tadaaa..my bag is about 17kg.

 

And the really sad thing is that our baggage allowance is only 20kg. I think i have about 35 kg in total. And only 5kg is allowed in cabin. So where shall the 10kg go? hahah...i m gg to perform some magic!

 

shall go off to bed and continue another day.

 

 

 

Oh no, i think i keep neglecting my bloggie. And complaining when pple dun update theirs too often. So i gotta make it a habit to write more often.

 

END OF WC2006!

This is like really fast. When i first came to stuttgart, the countdown clock was like many many days to World Cup, then when i next came, it just seems to get slower. And in a bliz, it is all gone. WC always update my soccer knowledge from 0 to a bit more than zero. Haha.Before that, i have totally no idea who are the players in the German team. But after a few matches, the names become familiar. Haha..if only i can remember the names of the new people i met this well. But that's cos the players are wearing jerseys with their names. Haha.

 

So Italy won. But i think the french are quite lucky to have come this far too. Bias or not bias, it's over. And the result matters the most, not the players' skills or their method of winning, so long they win. Cos that's what everyone remembers them for. Being the winner.

 

Oh yes, it marks the end of the pipipopo of car horns in the streets. And the sea of flags, painted faces, enthusiasm, hope, tears. It is interesting to watch how people react to soccer. Haha. Such intense reactions on a mass scale will prob nv happen in Singapore.

 

SOMMERtime

Summer is getting so hot one week and rainy another week. but it is still generally hot and the buses are totally like incubators. But summer has great things to look out for too.

Summer has great sunsets. At ard 9pm, the sky is cast in shades of pink, orange and purple. And is slowly gets darker and darker. Longer days means we can stay out later but then again all the shops are closed too early.

 

End of summer brings summer sales too. And it is especially good because of the World Cup, the shops are opened a little later than usual. But not enough! Hopefully, there will be more time to do shopping before i go back.

 

Summer brings loads of fruits too like strawberries and cherries, which i m alternating between them cos get sianz of them when there is too much. They look so much nicer and fresher than in Singapore and best part is of course it is cheaper! As well as many interesting fruits which i wanna try to! Ritter Sport has summer series too. Of yoghurt flavoured chocolate with fruits. They taste greater than chocolate cos they dun hv the chocolatey sticky,and sinnful feelings. Haha.but i doubt it is any less fattening than the normal ones.

 

END oF EXAMS

It is not the end of exams yet, but i feel like a kite on a really really thin string. Like my freedom is almost there where i can taste it. hv been slacking around or zzing. Left with the last paper and the whole exam period is too draggy. From the 20th June till now. I guess, the momentum of studying is also lost, or hasnt really been there, or will be there when nearer the date of exam where i ll go oh sheet oh sheet, then start picking up my books.
