8888

I possess it even before I could master the skill to use it. Yet the sense of thrill is uncontainable seeing it right in front of me, meaning for me to call it my own.

A lovely present from the very thoughtful in-laws. Instead of a KitchenAid which is of course incomparable. It is without a doubt a more desirable gift.

I felt giddy and took a deep breathe. Followed by a wide grin on my face. I am walking on air towards seventh heaven.

I can't wait to play with my new toy.

Germany vs Turkey

The police are on standby tonight despite reports that it's going to be a huge celebration for both german and turkish nationals here, no matter who gets into the final. No one believes such pack of lies.

It is akin to Singapore vs Malaysia.

Enough said.

7:30 - 4:30

It's been barely a week since I touched down in Germany. Yet, it seems like a month has flew past me. A new job, a driving refreshment course and a german exam around the corner. All before I have even recovered from my Singapore trip. No wonder I feel so drained.

Exhaustion aside, a new routine has taken its place now. I no longer have the luxury of sleeping in. My day begins at 5:30am and usually ends at 9ish in the night. No chance of MSNing or blogging till the wee hours. No more spending hours in the kitchen brewing some soups or cooking up a storm.

I am not lamenting however. The man observes, in spite of my weariness, I look happy. That observation comforts me somehow. Despite the need to perform housework as well, I revel in zipping around like a bee. For now.
