updates...

ok, guess i have been bitching about the weather in germany too frequently these days... better provide some update of my well-being...=)

bought my air tickets to portugal finally!!! promised leandro and some of the boys in EMMS that i would pay them a visit in june... so here i am, armed with a big empty bag, getting ready to leave for porto next wednesday... however, due to budget constraints, i have to fly vis RYANAIR once again... and that translates into spending one night at the london stanstad airport, before taking the earliest flight on thursday morning to porto... so it's time for me to spend tons and tons of pounds on those sports and health magazines... and on happier note, i will be flying back vis TUI.fly from porto to hamburg in the wee hours of sunday morning... well, at least i wake up and find myself in hamburg....=)

on my hindsight, i brought back most of my savings to singapore last month, and subsequently, i am in some kind of financial difficulties... well, i didnt expect that i have to pay up-front 6 months of rent when i get to denmark in late august... and that translates into a region of 1800-2400 euros... and it does not help that i've no allowance in the months of august and september... so i have to survive (5 months + that pre-payment for rent + whatever traveling i've planned) on only 3 months' allowance...

speaking about traveling around... last night was the unofficial "D&D" for fellow singaporean students in hamburg... not that there are many to start with.... me + dave + cailin +ching wen + kelvin = 5 of us... and since kelvin and ching wen are finishing their internship with AIRBUS, and that they will be spending the rest of the their spare time traveling, we thought that it would be probably one of the last time when we could just sit down and have a nice meal... anyway, after chatting with them, i realized that i am lagging behind in the number of places visited.... hahahaha... so i must buck up!!!!

in a desperate last attempt to preserve some of my soon-to-be-evaporated insanity (due to the warm weather), i've bought a fan!!!! 14 euros in exchange for my mental health...

and exams are finally around the corner!!! apparently, exams are scheduled by the lecturers, instead of by the examination board... so i've had some papers whose dates have not been finalized... but since exam dates can be arranged, we students are having some problems having to compromise.... everyone wants to have the dates arranged according to individual schedule... well, for me, i think it's better to cramp everything into 3 weeks and finish everything asap... "just suck it in, and have a wonderful summer..."
