Background

I think its time for me to change the background of my blog. I am boring with it already, although Paris is a beautiful city. But, but I will change it when I back to Malaysia I think. I am not lazy to change it, just dont want to waste a lot of time in front of the computer and searching for the background I want.

Chritsmas

Its a celebration that I am not used to celebrate.Until now, included this year Christmas, I only celebrated it twice. 2007 in Italy and this year. I like this celebration very much. Although it was a little bid stress with buying presents, but received presents replace all the stress with happiness. I felt quite warm actually when I received presents from my host family. I received a beer openner from my host sister, a small bottle of vodka from my host brother, a year magazine from my host mother, a sweater and an ice-wine from my host family. In short, I love to receive presents than preparing presents. xD

I am going to Austria for snowboarding with my host family from tomorrow until the 2nd of January.I hope that my ass will still alive after that, haha. And then,I will go to Hamburg from 4th of January until 8th of January. I am looking forward to these tide and pack holidays as these will be the last for me to do some visiting.

23.12.2010

Today was a day that I dont hope to forget. As I wished, I get to met and played tennis with Nadine. She came to pick me up at about 12.30p.m., and then we went to have lunch in Mobel Martin. At first, I thought she would bring along her friends to play tennis with us as only 2ppl should be quite boring. But then she told me she bring along her brothers =). Its actually better because I may not know her friends, but her 2brothers, I knew them already. Although not very long since the first day that I met both her brothers, but we had a lot to chat and its like I knew this 2guys since long ago. From the second that she told me she bring her brothers along, my mood changed from already very excited to a mood that somehow I dont know how to describe. I really dont know how to describe it. I just knew that, more than 200% that this day's outing with Nadine and her brothers would be a great and funny day I dont hope to forget.

Mobel Martin is a furniture shop, and I dont know at the top of Mobel Martin is a buffet, and the youngest brother from Nadine, Alexandra choose a beautiful blick from the window of the Mosel river. I had only a sandwish for lunch, but it was full enough.

After that, we went directly to the sport centre to play tennis. As I expected, I had a lot of fun with Nadine and her brothers. At first, Nadine only booked the court for 1hour. But,what I dont expected was, that I have more fun then I expected. After 1hour, we decided to play for 1more hour as I really have a lot a lot a lot of fun with them. I think I will continue to play tennis when I back to Malaysia. Thank you Schartzs. Haha

Later, I went with them to their house. I think I only met saw their dad once(with shaking hands) many times(in newspaper). And her mum, I think 2times. Their parents are as nice and as friendly as their children. I think maybe because of the parents are so friendly, so their children are also like them, pollite, nice, friendly.... I had dinner with them in their beautiful house. Their house is really wonderful. And, not forget to say about the beautiful and amazing decoration under their Christmas tree. Their dad found a technique to make the water flow like the real water flow in river. Its totally amazing as it was made by himself. Congratulations =). What I like about their family, is the way they disscussed something, especially the brothers. When we had lunch, they told/ask me some questions about Malaysia. Some of the facts that they told were quite shocking me. I dont know they 2 made some researches at home just purposely for today's meeting or they want to know it not because want to make me think that they 2 know quite well about Malaysia. If you 2 knew it not purposely for today meeting, then I would say, both of you 2's knowledges about Malaysia were the best that I had ever heard among the teenagers of your age in Germany, and even better than some teenagers of your age in Malaysia. Oh ya, their mum then gave me a chocolate bar, a huge chocolate bar as a Christmas present, and then a Christmas card for me to family Gajan. My dad asked me to buy a Christmas card for family Gajan as he forget to send 1.

In short, I just wana say Familie Schartz bring a lot of happiness to me. You all are the second family after family Gajan, my host family in Germany, whom are really like my natural family in Malaysia. I felt really like home in Schartz house. Thank you, I love you all, Familie Schartz. and I hope you 6 stay healthy always. For Nadine, I hope that you will do well in your Abitur(like spm in Malaysia) and I wish that today would not be the last time we met before I go back to Malayia. And I hope you manage to get Indonesia or Malaysia as your social work with AFS, then we can meet each other again. Oh gosh, I started to miss you again....

Christmas time

Christmas is coming!!! But I dont like 1 thing about Christmas, only 1. The super and greatest of all time, that 1. To buy present. I think the last time I bought a present was in 2007, for my family when I was in Italy. Those are consider as souvenirs ba. So the last time I bought a present, for a birthday gal/boy, I think its when I was 7/8 years old. I think la. I was quite shock when I think when was the last time I bought a present for someone. Normally,  I just share it with others of my friend. So my job were just gave money, and those who responsible bought it.  And now, I salute those who always bought present. Its not eassy, for me to think what should I give to them as present. xD. I need to buy present for my host family and for my Wichtel. And I already thought about what should I bought as presents for them for a very very long time. This is what I dont like about Christmas, haha.

Its raining now. I hope snow comes more, and we will have 'White Christmas'. We have quite a lot of snow now, but it rained today and my host mum told me tomorrow is going to rain too. =S When it rainned, the snow melt, and we only have ice, not snow. I hope it snow on Christmas day, as it was my childhood dream to celebrate Christmas with snow falls from the sky! But I hope the road condition will be OK on Thursday as I want to hang out with Nadine *deadly*. Please be kind to me, I miss her very very very very much.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

Monday:
Manchester United won! Manchester United won! Yeah, I know its abit late to post this news, but late is better than never right? =) It was a match of Manchester United vs Arsenal. The score is 1-0. Who is the hero? Park Ji-Sung. He is a Korean who plays for Manchester United. Although he is not my favourite player, but I love to watch him played. Especially when he scored a goal. So now, Man Utd top the premier league table with a game in hand. Next match, vs Chelsea. Hoping for Man Utd to beat Lusheng's supported team. xD

Tuesday:
I went to Paris for a 1day trip. I would not be a day to forget for me. My trip started at 5.20a.m., when I woke up. After having my bath, brushing my tooth and having my dinner, my host mum brought me to Konz train station. My trains were from Konz to Saarbrücken, and then from Saarbrücken to Paris L'EST. In Saarbrücken, I met Estiban, also a student exchange like me in Germany. He comes from Costa Rica. We dont know we would go to Paris on the same day. Its shock for both of us to see each other in Saarbrücken main train station, and both of us want to go to Paris. He had his host aunt as tour guide, so I joined them too, as travel alone is quite boring. We reached Paris L'EST at about 10a.m.. Just moving out from the train station, I could felt another type of atmosphere and environment. Its PARIS! It is so beautiful and totally amazing. I dont know how to explain it by words. I could not believe I was in Paris and this type of 'unbelievable feeling' was really unexplainable. This city really lived up to the biling point as the city of love. Its so beautiful and even the streets, the lamp post, the people, the language, everything were so cooool and beautiful(for me). The first destination is Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, we walked to the church. It stand on a hill, and from there, one can view a wonderful blick from Paris. Then, we took a Metro to   Eiffelturmes, one of the most famous landmark in the word. After that, we took a Metro to Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. and then we walked down one of the most famous and the most expensive street in Paris,  Champs-Élysées. Next, we walked to Musée du Louvre, where Mona Lisa is placed in the museum. But unfortunately, it was closed on Tuesday. Even it was openned on Sunday, I may need 1day to view this museum as it is very very huge. Nest destination was  Kathedrale Notre Dame de Paris, and then to the town hall of Paris,Hôtel de Ville, and next to Centre Georges Pompidou. After that, I walked to the train station alone as my train leaved at 5.09p.m.. Overall, Paris is too big for a 1day trip. It was so stressed as I walked a lot around Paris as I wanted to see a lot in 1day. And at last, I had joint pain on both of my leg, but it was worth. =)

Same thing, I needed to change my train in Saarbrücken. I passed my train in Saarbrücken, but I met 2 friendly and funny guys. I saw them too in the morning train. They were also going to Paris as I did, but for difference proposes. I was going for sight-seeing and they were going for business. And when we met, one of them asked me, did you miss the train too? And I said yes. I cant believe how eassy it was for a chat in Germany probably in Europe too. I mean, in Malaysia, no one will talk to you like this, and offer you a ciggarette(of course, I dont smoke). As we needed to wait for an hour and as it was so cold, they invited me for a glass of beer in a pub. We have a little chat during that 1hour of waiting. They were very funny. Haha.

9.30p.m., I reached home. It was very tired as I walked almost the whole day. My host mum asked me how was it, and I told her my experience as I told my natural mum. I am glad that I have someone to tell my story. =)

Overall, I just want to say. I am going to come back to Paris again for sure if I have the chance to come to Europe again. Paris is a must destination for Europe trip. =)

Wednesday:
I went to buy a Christmas tree with my host mum. It was a brand new experience for me indeed. First time saw how people bought Christmas tree. Cut it down, wrapped it with duno-what-plastic, and then transported it to the car. We havent decorate the Christmas tree yet as its still a litte bid early. It still lying outside at the garden. Poor tree, as outside was cold, haha. But bo bien, its so high, about 3m long. haha

Thursday:
Today school was as normal as usual until the 3rd lesson. When we had sport lesson, the director from our school entered the sport hall, and told us that we can go back to our home after the 4th lesson because of snow. It was reported that snow would came, and affected the road, so we were allowed to go back earlier. But I didnt go back. In fact, I went to a friend's house. Before that, we went to a supermarket and bought some beer xD. I went to home only after 2.00p.m.. But the snow did not come so early actually, haha..

0-0

I watched a football game live in stadium just now. It was FC Kaiserslautan vs Wolfsburg. The atmosphere was better than the atmosphere when I watched the bayern games. I think maybe its because the stadium is smaller, so you can hear the cheering of the fans clearer and louder than in Allianz Arena. But, the match was a little bid boring for me as the score ended 0-0. Without a single goal, its consider as boring to me. It was very+super+ultra cool. Lasse and me were shiverring when we watched the match. We cant concentrated on the game as it was very very cool. I think it was at minus temperature just now, and with cool wind, it made us cooler.

What am I going to do tomorrow? My host mum gonna call the people up-hill to ask about the snow condition where Sophia and me went for snow board last Sonday. As the temperature were a little bid higher suring the past few days, the snow had melt. So my host mum gonna ask about the snow up there. If there are still snow up there, we will go to snow boarding again. I hope jadi la, as I dont have any programm tomorrow. =)

Finally

I bought the ticket to Paris at last. Finally, I am going to Paris on Tuesday and I cant wait for the day to come. I will leave from Konz(a town near where I lived) quite early in the morning. Paris is one of the most important and one of the most beautiful town in the world, but I am only available to do a 1day trip. Dont even say 1day, I think 5days are still not enough to visit and discover every corner places of interest in Paris. Although its very short, but its better than nothing. =) (my only way to an1 wei4 myself, haha)

Playing With Snow is Fun :)

Today last period was the funniest and coolest of the whole day. As usual, the Geography teacher came late. Before he came, I was going with Richard and Klements to Backerei to buy something. When we back, Mia, Min Yong and Laura were playing with snow. I joined them  for a few minutes and then I went to the classroom as it was freaking cold for me. Then, the teacher arrived. Someone asked him, can we have our lesson outside with snow? Of course, he said no. But, he said we can play with snow for 5minutes. Guess what, everyone from my class ran out from the classroom and played outside for 5minutes. =D With snow balls flying in the air. Its very very cool and funny. Hahaha. I hope it keep on snowing, and we can play again tomorrow. Every student love snow. =)

Schnee macht Spaß.. xD

What A Shock For me !!!

When I was shopping in Galerie Trier today evening, I was shock.. Really Shock!!! I wanted to buy something. I already pick it up from where it should be. Then I reached for my wallet and openned it. Guess what, My wallet was empty. No bank note(s), no a single one, only some coins. Then I put it back, and walked out from the shop and kept thinking. Did someone steal my money? Why I did not realise my wallet is empty? And after a few minutes, I just knew that I used TOOOO much money to buy this and that for the past 2weeks. I really need to think twice when I want to buy something to eat or what-so-ever.  And I am not going to let my wallet with no bank note(s) anymore. I dont like my wallet to be empty. It makes me feel unsafe. Who knows what will happen in the next few hours when I need to use money to do something. At least a 10euro bank note will make me 'lega'.

 It was a day to remember, Chew Yi Lun!

Snowboarding!!!

Today morning, I went to Hermeskeil with my host mum and host sister. And what we did at there? Snowboarding.. // My host sister and me want to learn snowboarding. After we rent 2 snowboard, we tried at somewhere near the car park where there is snow. After that, we went a little bit higher, and did as the others did(snowboarding and skiing). At first, its very difficult.(even until now), but its more and more ok. I felt down many n times, and luckily my ass still alive. haha. Although very tired, but it was worth and cool. To me, its cooler and yeng-er than skiing. Really! Next week, we are going again, and this time, we gonna take a course and learn from a teacher. I cant wait it because its really FUN!!!

Dear Stephan

Dear Stephan, I hope you reply my e-mail as soon as possible, because I am eager to make the trip to Bremen, Hamburg and Kiel. It will be a huge dissapointment for me if I dont get the chance to make a trip to this 3 city. Although it will be quite cold in these northern city, but I still wana go as I have never been to the Nothern part of Germany.

Tomorrow I will have an AFS outing in Trier. Its a visit to Trier Christmas Market. (honestly, I went to there once I have free periods) Its just among student exchange and our contact person. I hope my coatact person manage to go as it will probably the last chance that we meet. But if she is placed in Indonesia next year, then I will visit her next year not sure gok.. xD

hehehe //

I am going to another German PROFESSIONAL football league match again. // but this time it is not in Allianz Areana, but in Kaiserlautan. Costed cheaper than the tickets for a bayern match. It costed 35€ for Kaiserlautan match and a match for bayern costed 60€, almost twice the price. And today, I put all my thing in a box. Host dad is going to Thailand for business trip and he said he can help to post for me from Thailand. So I packed the thing that I want him to help me post since Monday. It only weigh 8kg now. I think I am going to buy some beers/alcohol to make it 15kg(as he said he can bring 15kg for me). //
