Hotpot session
Just came back from the hotpot session… didn’t eat much. We had Vietnamese style.. very spicy and sour. Didn’t really like the soup base. Rush to the toilet after my meal, just as i expected. Guess it was because of the spiciness and sourness. But we had a good time chatting and laughing ard.

Thank-Giving dinner
Just came back from my 1st Thank-Giving dinner. International dishes we had. Chat, crack jokes, exchange thots and even secrets. Tried several dishes which I’ve never seen before, some taste funny… but still I like the glut wine best. Glut wine is a type of typical german x’mas wine, it had to be drink piping hot. Real hot and it taste delicious. I drank so much; luckily there wasn’t much percentage of alcohol. So I was still sober.. Cool…
There was like this break-off virus in our batch. I just came to know there were already 4 couples that break-off with their partner in their home town. I was shocked. Everyone was here for only less than 3 months and so many things happened. When they came over, they were still happily chatting about their relationships. But now sad to say that things is happening this way. It is so difficult to maintain long distance relationship?

My own problem...
It seem to be my problem... Is my expectation too high...
Happened several times, i expect my grp members to be more independent and complete the task by themselves instead of being late and keep on waiting. In the end, i wasted my time doing nothing except waiting and waiting.
Just a simple task and yet cant make their own decision. Really pissed me off. If they want to book consultation time then go ahead. If not dun bother. It seem that everything they do they have to ask, ask and ask. Trying to test my temper only.

Neuruppin - November 09
Day 1 – Neuruppin
After 2 hours journey down southeast of Germany, we had reached Neuruppin. We are doing our small project here in the famous attraction of the town.
My impression of Neuruppin.. weather was cold… beautiful lake… quiet and peaceful town. We first started with a simple city tour… well… it was quite pleasure to walk down the street. We went to the destination of where we had to be going for the next couple of days; Temple Garden. It was a small garden but with many sculpture and statue of the famous people in Neuruppin left down from past history.
Dinner was served at a restaurant in temple garden. Had beef for the 1st time. I had no choice but to eat the food. The food was standard… nobody can be picky about it as accommodation and food was free and included for this small project. Traditional german food. Had to behavelike the german.
After the food, we went to tour the temple garden for the night view so we can be prepared about how we are planning with the lighting effect. Spooky and creepy… not a single lamp was lighted. It was so dark inside this garden. We had to walk so slowly and watching our steps. I was commenting that with the wind blowing, the botak tree branches (due to winter the leaves all fallen) it was exactly like a typical western horror movie…
Day 2 and Day 3 – Neuruppin
We started working in the temple garden from 1pm till midnite after 1am then we return to our dorm. It was raining and we were all freezing. Still we have to work.. gosh… we were all like slaves. It was really hardwork. We were all drenched, tired, cold and starving.
Day 4 – Neuruppin
Finally is the showdown. We went to the park really earli to make sure that things were in place and getting ready for the public. God really heard all our prayers, it went on smoothly till eveing. TO my surprise, there was a long queue of public waiting to get into this garden. Everyone was shocked at their present. It was really touching. After three days of preparation, we can exhibit our work and the public were really amazed by the result. There was a couple of hiccups… half way thru the whole garden got into total darkness. I couldn’t even see my own finger let say even walking a few steps. The power fuse was overloaded and for almost half an hour, there was no light and we were like all going like mad running ard to solve the problem. Luckily we managed to powerup the fuse and things went back to normal again. Everyone stayed till after midnight to clear all stuff. We were like really super terribly dying to go back and rest.
Day 5 – Neuruppin
All were over, I was really glad to be cuming back to Wismar. To my own small whole. Everybody went early to studio for our last briefing. The prof showed us the local newspaper, we were all on the news. Our works received remarkable great positive comments. Everyone were giving us thumb up for all the effort we made and we created a night of pleasure for the local. Great job… so all the really hard work was worth it.

Stupid me...
Didn’t sleep well at all… Stupid me, I washed my blanket cover yesterday noon as I was thinking that since I will be away to neuruppin for a week. I might as well wash the cover up and make use of the week to let it dry. But I was wrong. I was freezing last night. In the middle of the nite, I have to get up and dig up my sweater to cover myself before I can rest. But still I didn’t enjoy resting at all.
Early morning, the postman call me up and said he will be delivering my parcel. So I was glad that I didn’t have class in early morning and I wont missed my parcel. Who’s noe. I waited and waited and finally I gave him a call. He told me he will be sending at 11am which I had my presentation. Had to get my german fren to call him back and ask him to send between 12 to 1pm. Which means, during lunch break I had to rush back to my dorm to wait for the parcel. Finally, I’ve received my parcel. Cool! Didn’t waste my rushing journey back to get my parcel… So many goodies inside, I was like a kiddo. When I open the box I was like digging for gold.
Thanks to everyone back home who had contributed to my parcel…….

Thank you but no thank....
Back from my heavy dinner. Had dinner at Paula's place today.. I cooked Bak Kut Teh and Heng's cooked japanese curry... Yummy! I can start my own cooking bz liao... hahaha....
Was busy doing Light & Symbol rendering. Cool... now i had even in-depth knowledge on this software... after this rd of trial i will move on to using relux and see how good it is...
Paula talked to me just now, she wanted to share the room with me.. she said she wanted to stay with close fren and not by herself. She was suggesting either she share the room with me or i can moved downstair to stay with her as her room was 4x bigger than mine. We can have partition and share the rental together. In that case, the rental i'll be paying will be about 40% lesser than what i'm paying now.
After some consideration, i guess i will still reject her offer. I kinda wanted some privacy of my own and i dun realli wan to stay with anione at this moment. It will be so inconvenience...althot i can save up on the rental but still there are many complicated things involve of sharing the room with anione here. I kinda like my own space and i'm used to it already so i can only say thank you for the offer and no-thank to the room sharing....

Tired, tired and tired…
Tired, tired and tired… no other words can describe me now… so many 1st time for today..
Just finished the presentation for my lumiaire at St. Nikolai Church… it was bloody hell cold and raining outside… I was really shivering when doing my presentation. Everyone else was also… there was no heater inside the church and it was so dark and creepy… dark because nightfall by the time of 4pm and creepy was becoz we were all stepping on the crypt of ancient heroes who were bombed in Wismar when walking around… I dun like the feeling the church had given me especially during night time…
Fell down of my bike when coming back to my dorm. Didn’t get hurt but mud stained on my jeans. Luckily tomolo got no class but had consultation time with the professor and I ned to prepare for my presentation on Thursday.

Tired by rewarding trip to Berlin
Berlin Day 1:
Took the early train to Berlin, upon reaching Berlin we head straight to the hostel to put our luggage. Then off we went with a group of 8 people to the Museum Island. I did some research before going, so I plan to spend my whole day at the island. I chose the combi tixs which cost me 6.50euro for entering 5 different museum together. In just 6 hours I explored 5 museum and the famous Beliner DOM.
I love the Pergamon Museum best. The moment I entered their main hall.. I was like… OMG! I was strike by their collection. I felt that I had entered into another world.. EGYPT… the Pergamon Altar was really so grand and impressive. The whole place came alive to me.
But I was amazed by another artwork or rather painting at the Alte Nationalgalerie. “Die Erfindung der Malerei” painted by Eduard Daege (1805 – 1883, German) I can never imagine myself standing in front of an artwork for almost half an hour just to admire a painting. And I actually did! From the details to the paint lines… I really salute the painter. It was so detailed and every shadow and corner were so attractive to me…
Was thinking somehow, how can the people from history create such impressive or rather amazing artworks. From sculptures…. Painting…. Collections to architect building…. All were so beautifully done….
Berlin Day 2:
Went to the famous Berlin zoo… before I went I really wanted to go there… had been telling my fren that I must went to the zoo… it was so famous and was consider as one of the largest and oldest zoo in Europe. But…. I was so so so disappointed… the zoo was not that big actually. Althought I saw many animals which will never be seen in spore but still I was really disappointed. It wasn’t that impressive for me plus it was drizzling since morning so I didn’t really enjoy my morning trip to the zoo..
After the zoo… I told my fren that I wanna go wander around on my own so i parted with them. With just a map of berlin and my lousy german I really went exploring this city on my own. With my own plans and timing I managed to travel around with much pleasure…
Berlin Day 3 to 5:
PLDC started. With a 3 days full congress, I made fully used of the time I had. I attended those seminar I was interested in and I was like running from level 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 just to make sure I didn’t missed the timing for the topics. I love this round of congress. Learned and seen a lot presentation. The Vox Juventa left me a really deep impression. Both thumb up for them…
I also met several supplier which some I was rather familiar with their brands. To my surprise, there was a spore company this time round. The boss, Andy Lai had a lighting company in Kaki Bukit. He was talking to me non-stop and was rather interested that I went back to spore for my intern next year. Well… I wont consider him at all.. the work he had produced so far didn’t catches or rather have any impact on me. And my intern goal is not situated in Spore. I’ve made my own plan for my intern actually but still I just bullshit along with him. He even introduces his so called lawyer partner to me. But too bad.. I was not interested with both of them.
