I've been having problems with Enetations time and time again...I dunno why though, cos I haven't been playing around with the html or anything like that. So I decided to change to 'CommentThis'. Hopefully it works better, because I sure as hell do not understand a single bit of html at all!
Well, this has been one long weekend really. Or week for that matter. On Wednesday, Ruth's friend Joshua came over. I showed him around a bit...not much to see in Dresden when you don't have much time. Sounds ironic, but it's true. Some of the good things are a little further out. We went to look for a birthday present for Ruth after my class, then we went back and made chicken curry..and then watched the Champions League finals on TV. It was a really cool match. The playing wasn't like the most skillful in the world, but lots better than S-League and the match also had its great moments. It was really exciting. Though AC Milan was gonna win...but Liverpool really came back with a bang in the second half. When I talked to Max over the phone during half-time, I thought Liverpool was doomed. Well, they did well to come back from 3-0 down. It was one of the fun-nest finals I've ever watched...you should've seen the Liverpool goalkeeper during the penalties. It almost seemed like a diversion tactic the way he was moving. But the penalties were really horrible! Still, Liverpool won. I don't think I actually really supported either team, but somehow I wanted Liverpool to win this one.
On Thursday, Joshua went to Berlin and I had class. Got back my Diachronic Linguistics Klausur. Got 1,7. Technically, it's a good grade, but there are mistakes I know I could've avoided if I were more careful. Sigh. Feel very unintellectual. Went to Angeline's place for dinner. Her mum made chicken curry (again? But it tasted different) and we ate chocs and ice cream too, while watching Meet the Fockers. Her parents are really nice. Didn't watch till the end though, cos I had to pick Joshua up from the train station. However, the tram was LATE and when I got to the station, the platform at which he was supposed to arrive was barricaded. Hmm...then I climbed up anyway and saw that it was arriving at Platform 14 that night...so I walked there...no one. 2 policemen stopped me and asked to check my passport. I was getting desperate, so I called Angeline. Just then, I walked back into the station and saw Joshua at the phone booth just about to call me. THANK GOD!!! PHEW!!! I wouldn't know what to do if he got lost.
On Friday, I decided to pon swimming...cos we got home at 1am or so...and I'd have had to wake up at 5am to go swimming...and somehow rush to the train station by 8:30am or so...and I hadn't fully packed! So obviously, I chose sleep and peace of mind instead of swimming. Quite luckily or intelligently, Joshua decided that he wanted to go to the supermarket, so I went to meet Max on my own. We arranged to meet later at the platform. Things went quite swimmingly with Max. There wasn't anywhere to sit and drink coffee or something, so we just sat at the tram stop. It was fun, like a few stolen moments. We only had 20 min or less, since I had to catch my own train and his had arrived not long before. Anyway, then we went to meet Joshua...and then, finally, I was in Kassel.
Kailuo and Lee Ting picked us up from the train station...we had lunch, then Ruth brought us to Herkules. I was being a lazy bum as usual and kept complaining. The view was great, but it was soooo hot! But I was very happy cos Ruth let me bring Po, her purple hippo with me! He was in practically all the photos we took. I was very happy when we finally got there...cos I was looking forward to going back. Was feeling kinda tired. Ruth cooked dinner for us! She made curry chicken (yes, 3rd time in 3 days) and chai poh egg (yum) and turkey with kiam chye and vegetables. We all ate till we nearly died. Then we had dessert: ice cream and chocolate cake (which tasted more like bread, but I kinda liked it...tastes like Five Loaves bread). The ice cream was Mövenpick Maple-Walnut. My favourite! Yummy! Then we played Ligretto. Very exciting! Then it was midnight, so we wished Ruth Happy Birthday.
The next day, Ruth and I went shopping. Ruth saw this lady wearing a pretty white skirt and we saw it later in C&A, so I bought it...and also, a pair of sandals which are really pretty too! Ruth saw them first. Ruth brings me shopping luck, I think. She's my favourite shopping partner! I also got 2 t-shirts. One of them says, "This is what perfect looks like". Cute, huh? We got really tired after a while though, so we went to an ice cream place and had ice coffee. Then we met Kailuo and Joshua and went back for an early dinner. Ruth cooked nice pasta for us. Then we just rotted at Ruth's place till she came back...then we watched "Goldmember". So crappy man...but funny also lah...haha. I have developed a taste for crappy movies. Well, not really. Ruth couldn't really understand lah, but it's ok. Haha. Then I went to sleep, cos I was really tired.
Sunday morning, I woke up early to shower, then we all had breakfast...and I said bye to Po, the purple hippo. Then we went to the train station. Got on the train and nearly died of boredom on the train, although I had a magazine with me. The people around me were talking loudly and the little kids were singing/screaming. Ugh. I was so happy to be in Dresden. Also partly cos I'd get to see Max again. I was playing a bit hard to get when I called him to tell him when my train was coming...said I had something else to do, so I had to go...hahaha...but he probably knew I wasn't seriously playing hard to get when I said I was gonna gossip with the rest.
Max met me at the train station. We went back to my place, complaining how hot it was. We watched "Meet the Fockers" because he hadn't watched it and I only watched half. Then he decided that he wanted to eat out...and treated me to Mexican food. I had ribs but couldn't finish it...he had to help. But that made it better, cos I didn't have to force myself to finish and he got more to eat. It was expensive though...32 Euros. For dinner...not a special occasion somemore. Then after we parted ways, he sent me an sms: "It's been more than 10 seconds. Do you miss me?" Seeing he never sends this kinda thing, esp just after we've met, I didn't even check my phone till this morning. But it was a nice surprise. I wonder if it's a well, just one-off attempt to be nice. But ok, I shall not be so sceptical.
Was so lazy today...Didn't do a bit of work. Should do at least one thing before I go to bed tonight.
