Life...and other afflictions

The rantings and uninteresting events of my life

Stupid CokeFridge.de...hello...I have never used the damn code before...unless someone else opened the bottle before me. Which I don't think so. It's the second time it has happened. The people at Coca-Cola should be more careful man!

Haha...anyway, that's just a silly complain...I'm not really mad or what.

I ate like crazy yesterday...it's just ridiculous...dunno whether it's out of boredom or stress or cos it's gotten colder...I wore a sweater and sweat pants to play tennis today...and wore the jacket I usually wear in Autumn or early Spring. Well, I will be happy if June is around 20 deg...right now, I don't really have a need for warm sunny weather, even though it would certainly be nicer.

Anyway, Fu Wei baked coconut buns and I had 3 of them...and Mai and Phuong made the fresh Vietnamese spring rolls and sago...I can't say no to those things, because I haven't eaten them in eons..that was along with all the nuts, cereal and kiwi and what not I had between lunch and dinner. I also had 3 bananas between breakfast and lunch. Amazing what my stomach can hold. We also watched X-Men 2 on TV. I haven't watched the movies, but Sherry and I used to watch the cartoon series on TV when we were younger.

Today was a tiring but really not bad day...I woke up a little late and I missed the usual 5:39am bus to the swimming pool..actually, I did wake up at 5am...but then I decided to lie down a little longer and when I woke up again, it was 5.35...so...too late...but after thinking about it for a while, I decided to go.

And erm, I drank a bit of chlorine water, which is making the area in my mouth between my nose and mouth hurt a lot...a bit hard to breathe :(. Anyway, I still can't get the breaststroke right. I can't move forward and I can't keep my butt up. Blah. But the coach said I'm good enough to move on to working on my backstroke and front crawl. I personally HATE the front crawl...but maybe after working on my backstroke a couple of more weeks, I might try the front crawl. I was glad that I went though...it felt good.

Then I came back and slept a bit. And then went for my Indian Cinema seminar. My prof thinks I've got luck with the beamer...hmm..as if! I hope nothing goes wrong when it's my turn to present. The second presenter was this guy who usually looks sloppy. But today, he had a new, neat haircut and was wearing a long-sleeved SHIRT (i.e. not a sloppy sweatshirt)...I was surprised and impressed. But his presentation wasn't very good...but it was good because good points were brought up because of it. Hope I can use this new knowledge appropriately during my presentation. It's actually coming up after the hols, and we're gonna meet the prof on Tuesday, so we can work on the presentation over the hols. But I'm gonna be travelling during the hols. I hope I can work it out somehow...got so freaking much to do that I'm slowly going insane. Ok, but my two main tasks for the hols are the presentation for Indian Cinema and the Language and Society article review. Then the Language and Society presentation...and after that, all the various exams...and after THAT, the term papers and my project...have to take things one at a time...but I'll survive somehow...besides, as I keep telling everyone, if we didn't have these things to do, we'd probably be bored out of our wits.

Then, I came home for a while and had lunch...made a couple more plans..and then went for tennis. Florian wasn't there this week...we had a replacement coach, Stefanie. She's quite cute...but oh my goodness, the warm-up was soooooo TIRING! But we played a lot more than when Florian's there. When I played with her, she asked me if I'd played tennis before. I said yes, but like a suuuuper long time ago..she said she could see it, that I had good technique. No ball instinct though, I told her...and it's true...I mean like I've said before, I can demo the moves quite nicely...but try to combine the action with a real ball...and bye bye to the nice pose. But thanks for the compliment anyway :) When Florian comes back, I'll have to work on playing "with more feeling".

Going to Weimar tomorrow...hope it's fun! I will bring more jackets cos I don't wanna freeze!
