Ach jaa.. My exchange year is going to end soon. It sucks bad, but life goes on. Anyway, I've been thinking, I've been here for almost a year, but I still can't speak the perfect German I thought I could. A bummer, but I'm quite proud of myself tho. I mean, I couldn't speak a word of German before I came, except Guten Tag, Wie geht's and all those simple stuff. 9 months, or maybe 10, I don't know... I stop counting ages ago... anyway all the time here, and now I can at least understand and speak my mind. I guess it would've helped if I countinue taking German lessons, but being the lazy ass I am, I didn't. Na jaaaaa...
I am wondering why is my house phone back home always engaged? I thought of calling home... but I can't even reach the home line. I don't even know why I wanna call home. Weird. Haha! Guess I just wanna say hi. I don't remember when was the last time I called. Hmmmz, probably ages. Ne, not getting homesick. LOL! Don't worry.
Guess I'm just bored...

It's -2° and I STILL haven't seen snow!
Yup, that's preety annoying... when you look so much forward for snow... Anyways, other than the disapointment of snow, it was a cool week tho. Annie, the first host daughter of my host family was here for a visit with her brother, Harry... Yeah, it was really cool! =) Well, for one I got back most of my English! =D
I hate school! I had like one period of History today, and then 3 free periods so I'm back home, and then 3 more periods and I'm home again. Bahhh! Thank God it's only 5 minutes away, if not it'll be annoying!
Somehow I can't get to school on time... Especially on Monday mornings... like, it doesn't matter what time I get up, I still get to school 5 minutes late for History. I woke up early today, but... yeah, I still got to school 5 minutes late. Weird but true. Na ja...
The time is scaring me! I have like less than a month now... and like, yeah, it's too fast! Hate it, but can't stop it!
Guess this is an annoying post.... I guess 'coz I'm annoyed. Can't help it tho. LOL! Hope your's wasn't as annoying as mine.

1 month left...
Yup... time actually flies. It's scary how I feel like I just arrived and that I'm new and stuff, and now I'm leaving in 1 month. It just doesn't feel right. It's just weird! I mean, it was so long ago when I arrived... right?
So... What did I do today?? No, I didn't celebrate. LOL! I went to school like normal. As usual 5 minutes too late, but somehow the teacher was also late today, so no one noticed that I was late. Haha! I spent the whole time in German and Religion class drawing and scribbling stuff... My teachers better not read this. ;) I never do anything in German anyway. My teacher is probably really annoyed with me. There was this one time, where everyone around me kept asking me about Malaysia. And I was like explaining to them how we have tigers, elephants, snakes, bears and stuff like that in our jungles, and they were so fascinated, and then they asked me to teach them Malay, which I did 'coz German classes are boring. I can't do anything in German. The teacher was pretty piss off at us. Hahaha... To think about it, my group there doesn't really do anything in German classes. Luca keeps talking to Jan and disturbing Isi, and he comes out with all those wacky funny ideas which keeps us laughing all the time! And Jan, he started writing this novel about some wanderer if I'm not wrong. And Lina keeps talking to Luca, and Philip keeps trying to make Lina concentrate in class, and sometimes he himself starts talking. LOL!
After school I went for Badminton as usual, but somehow today I couldn't really play. I didn't have the lust. I guess it annoyed Mami alot 'coz she wanted to play seriously but I wasn't really in the mood. And then I wanted to go jogging but somehow I didn't have time to do that, 'coz later I went to Laura's and we practise the violin abit for the recital on Saturday. Pretty excited and nervous about it! =) The Christmas Concert is on Thursday, after which I have to rush over to Gianna's birthday, and then on Friday is Kenny's Reinfeier. Party weekend again. LOL! Too bad I can't make it to Marcus' birthday but it's on the same day as Kenny's and Marcus lives like 20km from me. Oh wait, went out of topic. Sorry! Yeah, so after practising with Laura, I went swimming with Annie, Lydia, Luisa and Lisa.
Swimming was really fun. Annie (my host family's first host daughter), Lydia (from USA), and I spoke English most of the time. Ok, my English sucks really bad... somehow or other. I can't say a fluent sentence. It's scaring me! I'll die when I get back home! =P Anyway, Luisa (from Columbia), and Lisa (Lydia's host sister who was in the USA for exchange) were feeling left out. And somehow or other, I guess they hate us now. The 3 of us were always together and yeah... but anyway, I guess things work and Luisa didn't feel so left out in the end... I guess... Coz we agreed to play some games that she suggested, and we talked afterwards.
So not looking forward to tomorrow... School somehow sucks if you don't know what I mean. I mean, the people is really nice and all, but the lessons are really boring, and the teacher sucks, especially the... to think about it... I don't know any good teachers there... Ok, one... or two, but that's it.
Right, it's getting pretty late and I have to sleep if not I'll get to school another 5 minutes later. Somehow or other I can't seem to get to school on time. Haha! Big problem for me!
PS: It's only 23:15 here on the 11th of December... My blog will say it's 5am something on the 12th, 'coz it follows Malaysian time.

Weihnachtsmarkt Münster
Ya ya.... It's the Christmas Season now in Germany... Yeah, we have Christmas chocolates, Christmas candies, Christmas cookies, Christmas cakes, Christmas everything.... yeap, even Christmas market (Weihnachstmarkt)... Ok, I have no idea what's it called in English, but direct translation then... yeah, Christmas market.
So yeah, I was in Münster... with AFS... and we went to the Weihnachtsmarkt. We left Dinslaken at about 10.18am, to Duisburg. Took the next train to Münster. It was really cool, and funny!
We kept walking in and out the market. And there was one point where we had no idea where we were... and then 5 minutes later we found out we were 2 minutes from the Main Station. Haha!
Tja, that was our Saturday! It was really cool!

Try this!!
This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't. It's pre-programmed in your brain!
1. WITHOUT anyone watching you (they will think you are CRAZY...)
And while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer,
Lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number " 6" in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction.
I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it!
You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done,
You are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.
Hahahaa!!
