Backkk!!!

Hello there, sweeties. Apologies for the lack of update in my blog. I ain't gone yet. Soon, babies!

Truth is time is something that I have plenty at this moment. But I can't seem to make good use of it.

I am finally connected to THE technology talk of the century! Albeit many years too late. Haha. After much research and contemplation, I decided to purchase an ipod nano to replace my ageing and cracking creative mp3. I am lu-rvving it!

The miniature and sleek nature of this gadget renders me just speechless and I feel the urge to take it out just to awe at this amazing creation. Call me suaku but I feel a sense of admiration for this Apple.

I love my ipod nano. Looks good in the pockets.. but bad for my credit health.

My German buddy from EBS has just gotten in touch with me. He is such a nice chap. But truthfully, his answers to my mysteries of EBS and the small town that I will be living in only leaves me a little disillusioned.

Philipp (my German buddy) told me that there is only a very low possibility that apartments in Rheingau comes with internet connection, confirming what I had already suspected a long time ago. When I read this sentence, my hands when cold and I wanted to scream. Afterall, this would mean that I would be cut off from the outside world for four months. Boo!

But no worries, you sweeties. I swear that I will find internet connection somehow and bring you guys all the pretty stuff in Europe!

Furthermore, my plans to clear five credits in a semester have been ruined by the fact that I will be doing the Diplom-Kauffmann Program in EBS. The Diplom-Kauffmann is the Bachelor and Masters Program combined into one in Germany. Because this is the last year of this program, this would mean that I would be doing courses that are at the Masters Level Program! Philippe advised me against doing five, especially finance courses because I would be going on weekend trips frequently. And now, I would probably have to just clear four credits or lesser.

On a separate note, I miss my gal pals terribly.

I miss my bestie, Shiyun.

I miss my favorite gals from 26/02.

Blink.

I am a little dismayed that Germany did not make it to the World Cup Finals. Maybe dismayed is too much of an understatement. More like disturbed. Agitated. Distressed. Melancholic.

Sure, I may not be the ultimate football fan around. My eyes are on Keanu Reeves in Constantine playing on HBO while the Germany versus Italy match goes on. But the fact that I will be spending a semester in Germany gives me this obligation to devote my twisted loyalty to the Germans. And not to mention that Michael Ballack is cute. Haha.

'Nuff said about football and.. cute football players. I have been soaking myself in Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.

True to my belief in rationing books, I am into the second chapter after two days.

It has always been a mystery to me as to how some selected few people can make spanking decisions and choices in a fleeting moment. Maybe they have ESP. Otherwise, it must be kismet!

It has become a habit of mine to berate myself for the untimely and crummy decisions I made. Whether it is a minute choice of purchasing that shirt tucked at the bottom of my closet or just.. something far more important. So let's see if you can spot the difference in me after I finish devouring the book.

Give Me My Forty Winks.

My otherwise tranquil leisure hours have been marred by a bad bout of insomnia. A sense of peevishness always descends me in the middle of the night as I toss and turn restlessly in bed for hours.

It is hard to rest when your mind wanders upon a deep reflection on your life and the anticipation of what is lying ahead of you. Funnily enough, the last summer holidays were spent searching the meaning in life.

From Yomeishu to red wine, I think the only thing standing between me and getting a shuteye is banging my head on the wall.

I want to find the peace in me!
