... departure from Breda

today is the 31st of July, a crucial date, cause that means that I will be leaving Breda!! :'( (no more beautiful sunsets from our balcony :(
I've been packing all day yesterday and most stuff is in the basement now (thanks to Antoinette's help with carrying!!)
So today there are just some more boxes... and then the car with all the stuff that goes to Germany. It is already now quite scary to see my room so empty. Don't wanna be evil - but it is a very weird thought that someone else will live in my room now!!! (sorry Sascha!!) but well, ... it's gonna be fine... but :'( :'( :'(
I will miss it - and so I am already looking forward to February, when this stupid exchange in stupid Hong Kong is finally over ;) and I can get back into our lovely flat with Antoinetje and Karotje!

oh and now I will stop with the wining and hey: I am finally going to Germany!!! today!!! yeahhhh yippieeeee yuhuuuuuu.... no more work in Breda, no more packing my stuff... finally this is over!! ;)
I am really looking forward to the two weeks in Germany - during which I will be quite busy I guess with

1. going to the "Annakirmes" (large fun fair in Düren (next city from my place))

2. meeting friends to say goodbye again

3. go to the Annakirmes again ;)

4. pack stuff for HK and China

5. relax

6. enjoy my moms food (hope she doesnt cook any rice)

7. sleeeep in

8. chillllll

9. lay in the garden in the sun

10. be totally lazy

11. hmmm what else?

ok.. so this is my to do list for the two weeks in Schlich!
I'll keep you updated and now I should really get back to my boxes...

oh wat jammer - Ikea, I will miss you!!

I just got home from work, and guess what, today I loved working, everything was great and I realized that I am actually gonna miss all the colleagues over there. It still doesnt seem very realistic to me that I am actually not gonna stand up at 4:30 on Monday to go to work... and I mean, really, who likes sleeping in??? Well, I only had nice customers today also, and my boss said that I am welcome back in February... wahhaaaa... thats 6 months... :'(
I will have to find something against the withdrawel symptoms (for the Germanzzz: komisches Wort für Entzugserscheinung) , maybe there is a Selbsthilfegruppe (self-help-group??) like the "anonymous-ikea-addicts" - AIA ??? if anybody has some information about that: PLEASE HELP ME!!
Oh and you know whats even worse? I had to hand in all my lovely IKEA clothing, my name badge, my keys, my clock-card... e v e r y t h i n g !! No memorables left!!
.... I'll go to bed to cry now... Ikea forever!

heya everybody...
I completely forgot about my personal leaving countdown... and was just surprised/shocked myself - it is only (oh noooo :'( ) 5 days until I leave Breda and exactly 3 weeks until I go to Beijing... what is nice though, but also a little sad is that i only work 4 more days at this best stores of all... ;)
other than that there is not much to telll... (I know - what a boring life here!) working all day long each day,
just tonight I went to Yusnita's (a collegue and good friend!) of mine to have dinner (again... THANKS so much!!) and it was as always reaaaly wonderful! I'll miss it over there (even though I guess I might still be able to eat rice in Asia, won't I?)
so... thats it again 4 2nite... groetjes...

Me, 4:30AM:
"is it really M O N D A Y already?"
"nooo... keep sleeping... '"
"yes come on... get up..."
"just 5 more minutes"
"ok, ... your fault if your gonna be late"
grrrr
. . . . . .

uhh uhhh.... sundayyyyyy

finally- almost sunday - which means: THE day!! The one day of the week where I am off... the one day not to get up at 5AM - so, who cares about our noisy neighbours who like to have parties until 3 AM in the morning EVERY day of the week? ;) its just that- today they obviously take a break.... bet they'll start up again tomorrow... but I already planned my "Rückschlag" hmm... revengeeee... I really like to listen to loud music soooo much at 5AM in the morning... sorry over there hahahaha ;) ;)

other than that there is nothing new, besides that temperatures actually dropped from about boiling temperatures to only simmering ... from 37°C to ONLY 36,5°C!!! yeiiiii... I mean, the prognosed thunderstorm and drop of temperatures stayed away... but well..... we still have the sunday, which I wouldnt of course like to enjoy outside.... hmmm....
letz wait and see...
oh and I think its time to start a countdown here now... it is uhm... 8 days until I leave Breda (until February :D) and 25 days until departure to China.
