vor meine Abfahrt (Before my departure)

Today is my last day in Singapore before flying to the country i've always been dreaming of to go to- Germany!! Its a dream come true. I've always wanted to stand in front of a football stadium in germany to experience how the footballers felt, wanted to go shopping in their grocery shops to carry bags and bags of groceries like we see in movies, to sit and just idle in a cafe observing the surroundings, to immerse myself into their culture. I just cant wait for Euro 2008! Germany will be playing against Poland in Klagenfurt, Austria on 8 June, which is on a sunday. I will try to be there no matter what. Germany all the way! Everytime i watch a football match on sports channel, i cant help but wish i were there witnessing the goals and victories. So, this is it!

My german teacher said that germans are very direct in speech and straighforward unlike asians. Hmm which is true. For me, i would often give mild comments or even sometimes choose not to comment at all! Which was why she had a hard time deciphering what people in Singapore actually meant. But i do hope to get used to it soon and make a few forthright friends.

As the day of my departure nears, i have a sudden feeling to forget about this whole thing. It sounds crazy. I mean my german classmates would have readily offered to take my place. But after spending time with my friends and family, i just can't help but to feel sad leaving them for 6 months. I must admit i'm a homely person. But i really want to thank my parents for giving me this opportunity to go Germany even though they haven't even been there yet. And also to thank my 2 lovely friends deb and yy for reminding me time and time again about the unseen danger being overseas. Guns and stuff. Yea, i'll remember to protect myself! And most importantly to thank God who is always faithful and guiding my direction in life!

So in about another 20 hours, Germany here i come!

Kaffee


Kaffee Kaffee. Gestern habe ich eine Tasse Kaffee getrunken und die ganze Nacht kann nicht schlafen! Es war schrecklich! Ich war im Holland V Starbuck Cafe mit Singyee. Wir haben uns lange über unser Leben und das Film "Cloverfield" unterhalten. Sie findet das Film nicht interessant und ein bisschen abstrakt. Glücklicherweise habe ich das Film nicht gesehen! =)

Jetzt bin ich müde, aber es ist schon 8 Uhr. Und ich muss zur Uni gehen weil ich mich mit meiner Freundin treffe. Keine Wahl. Ich muss nächtes Mal merken, "Ich darf nicht vor schlafen Kaffee trinken!"

Yesterday i drank a cup of coffee and couldn't sleep for the whole night! It was terrible! I was in Holland V Starbuck Cafe with singyee. We updated each other about the happenings in our life and also about the movie "Cloverfield". She told me the movie isn't that interesting and it was a little abstract. Fortunately i haven't been to see the movie. =)

Its already 8 am and i'm feeling tired. I still got to go school to meet my friend. Next time i must remember not drink coffee before i sleep!

Mein Deutsch Unterricht

Jeden Montag und Mittwoch gehe ich zu Deutsch Unterricht. Aber ich fahre am 31.01.2008 nach Deutschland für Student Exchange Programme. Ich denke, ich werde Singapur, meine Familie, Freunde und Freundinnen fehlen.

Meine Deutsch Unterricht Lehrerin ist sehr freundlich und hat viele geduld. Ich habe viel spaß gemacht. Am Montag habe ich "Antworten mit weil" gelernt.
Z.B. Ich lerne Deutsch weil ich mich für Deutsch interessiere.

Heute bin ich zur Uni gefahren. Ich habe der Kurs "Financial Accounting" interessant gefunden weil ich Mathematik mag.
