Top 10 things I've learnt so far

It's been awhile since i updated!! Wahh! Almost half a month!! Soooo much has happened!! But since I don't have that much time, I'll just do a SUPER brief update and do a more detailed one uhm. Next time? :p

1. Eating Fast
The trick to eating fast is to NOT TALK! Yes yes, you can all say what you want about me and not talking. But when you're at a table with like 5 other guys, who eat super duper ultra fast. And you eat super duper ultra slow. Well, you'll get 5 guys waiting for one girl. And I already eat like, how slow. Imagine if I were to happily go on talking the way I do while eating. They wait even more lor!! But by NOT talking, I eat a LOT faster. They still have to wait for me la, but not that long. :) And anyway, most of the time they speak in German.


2. English
Most people wanna practise their english. PLUS, Matlab and stuff are all in English. Which means I've been speaking English most of the time. Sigh. =( Must practise more German!! So my English grammar has improved coz a lot of them will ask me the most basic questions that I feel like an English teacher, but my German. :S


3. WOrk
That I love working! I love it so much that now, at 9pm, I'm still at work! Haha. Scary rite, me and work. :P


4. Sunburn
That I can get sunburnt in winter. Yes, I am burnt. Completely. To a crisp. And the weirdest thing? Only my face!! Well, over the weekend I went to St. Moritz. And the weather was PERFECT! It was sunnier than in SG coz there were NO CLOUDS, and yet it was cool enough that the snow was all there!! (In fact, when I left on Monday it was snowing in the morning). That meant INTENSE solar radiation to my face, sans the area where I wore my goggles. So if there was a raccoon dressed up as rudolph, that's what I would look like right now.


5. Someone up there loves me. :)
When I arrived, I was hoping and praying it would snow. And it did. SO much!! And then I had to go snowboarding. And the weather was perfect just for the time I was there!! No earlier, and no later! And then here, when i got back, it started snowing again!! In spring!!! I mean like, if it had continued snowing all the way it would be ok la. But one day of COMPLETE sunshine just for me to go snowboarding in nice weather was perfect la! Sans the sunburn. But hey, there's a price for everything, and this was worth it!! I think I am gonna go snowboard again next weekend!! Hee. :)


6. Phones and Scratches
Scratches occur even when falling into water. Or frozen water. Or snow to be exact. Haha. While snowboarding my chio v3i falls out of my pocket (coz I'm so pro I go so fast. Haha.) And then when I get it, coz the dinky cover only covers it halfway, there's a small little ding where the cover doesn't cover it. =( I knew I should have bought the helicopter super-scratch-proof cover for it. SIghs. Oh wells. At least it wasn't a pink phone that got scratched. :p


7. I love snow.
That I'm a mountain girl. Haha. As in, I love being outdoors and running around. Beats shopping any day. I don't like sightseeing much, I would rather DO things. Like snowboard, or go learn how to fly a plane, or something like that. Hee.


8. I hate taking photos
Haha. Yes, I actually knew that from before. But even now, I'd rather revel in the moment than capture it for next time. It's all up here *points to my head* But of course that doesn't mean that I won't use my cam la. Haha. I do occasionally take a few photos. :)


9. Cooking!
Like when I cooked my first meal! I took a lot of photos for that ok! Coz I was so proud of the fact, and coz the food actually looked (and tasted!) really really yumm!! And for me to say something tastes yumm, I actually mean it la. Not just coz I cooked it! Hahha. But so far, I can make french toast, scrambled eggs, pasta, omelettes with cheese and mushrooms and uhhmm. I think that's it. For now. Haha. Haven't experimented that much. ;) But this doesn't change anything. I only cook because I have to. Once I'm living with someone else who can cook, it's over. Heh. Hence the photos. A once-in-a-lifetime thing, that.


10. I want my Beetle.
I am more in love with it now than ever before and I am seriously contemplating buying a Cinquecento here, and then driving it back to Singapore (coz driving back will be an adventure in itself) and I so wouldn't mind just leaving the car in my garden. Haha. Make it a playground. Or rip the engin out and modify it so I can make it my bed. Hee.
