Well, let me try updating my blog...it has not worked for a while...somehow after 2 seconds, blogger always fails to save and publish my blog.
Anyway, I am finally back in Germany. Maybe it was the strange connection in Singapore that didn't allow me to update properly. Or maybe blogger just doesn't like me...who knows?
Had a great time in Singapore meeting up with friends and all. Will post photos later because the photo entries always seem to get screwed up...so will do them separately. But towards the end of the 4 weeks I spent in Singapore, I was sorta suffering from burnout...at the beginning, I could deal with 3 or even 4 appointments a day...but towards the end, I just couldn't go out the whole day. I had headaches and felt like sleeping all the time...ugh...and a bit of nausea.
And, it has continued. Been sleeping a lot and feeling like crap cos of headaches. When I went out with Steffi yesterday, I was aching all over...but as the day progressed, it got slightly better and I didn't think about my headaches and stuff. Maybe I do need some fresh air...although it seems really hard to get out of the house at first.
Not that I haven't done anything the few days that I've been back...went to SEALIFE with Marcus....I didn't know that flatfish had one eye that migrated to join the other and that they were actually swimming on their sides..until I read the board and noticed they only had one fin flapping against the top side of their bodies. I also didn't know that lobsters had one fat claw and one skinny claw...well I'm no seafood lover...and I almost threw up everytime the guy came by with raw fish and prawns to feed the sea creatures. *shudder*
Marcus and I also watched "Das Parfüm"..which is actually an English-language film based on a German novel dubbed back into German. Well, it was a good movie...very good visuals...but seriously, it is psychotic...not that the film is psychotic...the characters are psychotic...well, there's a little black humour thrown in for good measure as well.
We met up with Steffi and cooked potato, carrot, pasta and sausage soup...her favourite. Just hung out at her new apartment, which is very nice...she and Marcus were talking about the colour Steffi's brother bought to paint the kitchen with. They both found it a horrible colour...it looks like the yellow of school poster colours!
Yesterday, I went shopping with Steffi. Basically ate a lot yesterday, even though I didn't really have much of an appetite. As in I couldn't taste the food properly. But I had 2 mini baguettes for breakfast, then a Bratwurst in a bun, then grapefruit juice, half a huge apple pastry, a plate of Bambi Goreng (well, not a huge serving), strawberry tea with tons of sugar, 2 bananas and 1/3 can of sour cream and onion pringles. Oh I feel sick thinking about it...not as in eating so much sick...but remembering all the different smells and flavours sick. I even get sick from the smell and taste of my own toothpaste these days...maybe I should go and get a new, more neutral one.
Well, in any case, I hope I get better before school starts...because right now, I truly feel like crap.
