Entry 23: Second Life?

Some time ago, I began to wonder, if given a chance to re/live this Germany experience, how different would I be?

I guess this usually happened when things are approaching to an end; just like the times when the exams are over and you begin to ask yourself, did you do your best?

For me, it seems that I have waste a considerable amount of time here in Germany.
Also I realised I need stress to work. I am hopelessly lazy when left alone.
I still remembered when I set off to Germany, I made some promise to myself:
- I must be able to speak German as if it is English.
- I must work out until I gain to build.

- I must get to know more people.


So far, I only achieved No.3, half of No.1, a quarter of No.2. Add up, I guess I had failed.

Main reason> Lazy, Free Online Game, U-Tube, Very Friendly Colleagues.

So if really I were to live these 1 year all over again...
Most likely... hmmm.... I would end up the same lol

Entry 22: European

Hi all,

Sorry, it has been a long time since I update this blog mainly because of gaming. (Oops... I am born an addict)

Anyway, Spring is here in Regensburg. The sky is always blue now and the baby birds have all grown up! (Meaning they no longer "chip" for food).

The good old mother or father birds are now fatter and look as if they are feathered balloons. Sometimes, the small balloons which I named them, high pitch noisy balloon and non-stop high pitch noisy balloon and 5:30am noisy balloon, would come to my window if I leave them a piece of bread outside.

(Good thing is that they are now learning to sing for mating season)

Anyway some thing I discovered about Europeans is that they like to work in dim lighting.

Back in office, whenever the sun comes out, my colleagues will just pull down the curtain and dim the light... (to me it is just the perfect setting for an afternoon nap...)´

Back home, my flat-mates have just removed the light bulbs from the main lamp in the living room and replace it with a table lamp bulb with a thick blur glass covering which gives a fade yellow glow. (to me it is just the perfect setting for cutting off your fingers when chopping vegetable)

Oh and most importantly, I realised that I have misunderstood the intend of the girl I met in the bar in September for asking to come home with me at 2am.

It is common for them to go to a friend's house after a drink in the bar and stay there (the house) to continue chatting with a glass of wine till earlier into the next day and drive home.

(I found this out because there are always people (flat-mate's friends) in my flat chatting until 4 or 5 am)

Ok, the time has come when I must return to my game.

Take care!
