last days everywhere

it dawned on me just now that the end of this semester is actually there and that its over and that its a turning point once more...
how comes? well... everybody's leaving! not here (well also but that somehow wasnt clear enough for me to notice!) Friends who were still in HK or China this semester are packing up and actually leave these days to return to whereever they are from... new people came to check out my room and its subrented once more... which means that I'VE GOTTA BE OUT OF THERE... so soon!! end of the week I'll go!!
well, maybe thats the point that actually made it that clear! who knows!

well anyways I just wanted to let that know!

oh... and I have to quote what anke just said (you should know for that that there is a family living in the flat above us with an active kid of about 3 years old we guess!)... Anke: "dat kind ga ik echt nog een keer afslachten!!" (in very nice words: someday I'm gonna kill that kid!) and later: "all die kinderen gehoren afgeslagen gewoon!" (All those children should be slaughtered!).... now, that just to show how nice and children friendly my roommate is! (the kid can be annoying though... especially at those times (read: always) when it decides to enjoy a jog (read: stomping run) around the flat (read: especially above our living room). grrr

oh and since I worked all day I have an another weirdes customers anecdote to share: I was actually asked today whether we also have any articles which do not attract dust, as the whole flat of that special customer gets dusty all the time... now isn't that weird? never heard of such thing as dust setting upon stuff in any other place... must be quite a new thing! maybe she should invent something totally new to prevent it also, such as CLEANING!! weeeiiirdooos

I gotta go now... so I'm leaving... adios

... as the world turns

so.. after 3 months of bloglazyness a new entry!

What has happened during this time? well a lot but I am not gonna write all that now... just shortly,

I was quite busy studying - I am somewhat more focussed on that here than I was in HK!! Well, now the semester is coming to an end - I am in the middle of exam week now and I am too lazy to study so I rather write this!

I have had a bunch of interviews and a bunch of internships for which I was accepted... so I cancelled some quite nice offers and decided in the end to go to (reaaaly far ;) ) MUNICH!! Yoohooo... I will live in my favourite German city for 6 months. (oktoberfest, beergardens, hiking, skying, .... :D ) - I will actually be going there in 2 weeks already.

As I am moving again we are currently also looking for a new housemate who wants to rent my room in Breda for these 6 months.

While being lazy last week I found somethign nice online... for all of you who love china as much as I do.... or who are interessted in languages and find enjoy funny misconceptions... check out this site: http://www.chinglish.de/. Even though it is a German site the chinglish signes themselves are of course chINGLISH - and as such relate to English... and should be understandable for you... I loved this site, kept me from doing anything or more importance (which would be basically everything I suppose) for at least an hour... some great examples and even one of those that I fotographed myself was published there before... here it is again, as a little sample of what you can expect.

So... what else? I've been working quite extensively at the IKEA those last months and well, now I have to stop again... next week = last week already... but I hope to return next spring when I'm back here again... I cant deny it, I'm addicted.

Other than that I've had a great semester. My roomies Anke and Antoinette are in the US on a fieldtrip now, I miss them already especially cuz I wont live together with wode jia zai Breda (my family from Breda) for the next half year and then Antoinette goes on exchange (which means a trip to Finland for me ;) ) and Karo will write her thesis already... it shows in a weird way how quickly this great time of studying here will be over. Still feels as though I just started, but actually half of it is over... :(

ohh.. and last weekend I was at Festival Mundial again. This time the weather wasnt as fortunate as last year, but THE CAT EMPIRE made just the perfect compensation for the rain... damn is that Felix Reidl (leadsinger) cute... hot... yummy.... (*schmacht*) here some more pix...

rain :(

Martina and Pieternel!

The Cat Empire

soooo this it is for today... will keep this blog updated when I'm in Munich... promise to write more often also ;)
