Hey guys! Long time no see (X_X).... Yes, yes - its a long overdue update to this blog. I'll have to clean off the cobwebs and start of anew because as you all know a new year has started and 2010 has taken off its hand and begun its twirly dance. As I listen to Mika's latest album (The Boy Who Knew Too Much) I'm thinking of how to lay out this post in the best way possible; hopefully in a way that prevents any one of you from pressing the "X" button before you've read through to the end. Well, today marks a crossroad in my life because tomorrow night at midnight I will be flying off to Dusseldorf, Germany via Vienna and starting a small but new chapter in 2010. For 6 weeks I will be diving into the research labs, in the hope of feeling what it is really like in the world of the 'working people' and gain a better understanding of what "biocatalysis in the field of fats and oils" actually means. Well that is my idealistic, whimsical view on what I'm hoping to do but don't worry I will be hoping to tell you guys the full and "could be" dreary truth when I have the chance to during those 6 weeks.
Already, the craziness has started with my packing today..... Oh gawd, packing is NOT good especially packing for a climate of which I have no experience with WHATSOEVER (T_T). And the weather reports show that the average over the next few weeks will be around 0 degrees. Seriously, if I find the winter in Melbourne already a bit cold, I don't think I'm going to be able to use my brain much only because it will be on a permanent brain freeze without the consumption of any slurpies~ Which you know forbids good news for an intern who already has no clue what she will be doing there.... plus the fact she is sure that her brain has turned into mush as soon as she had walked out of the REB's grand doors after the last stats exam. I don't actually think I have packed enough but I'll have to deal with it when I reach there I guess. I'll be sharing with another person in a youth hostel around a 15 minutes train ride away from the office's headquarters which should be an experience by itself because I have never really had a roommate before not counting all those residentials where you know who you are staying in a room with. Hopefully everything will work out fine with that :) I checked out some photos online and they don't look too bad - they kind of remind me of Unilodge for some reason so I guess it isn't too much a stab in the dark! Gosh, I sound so pampered but the truth is I probably have led quite a sheltered life. Haha - now's the time to step out of my comfort zone!!
Ok.. seriously.. knowing that I have almost zilch knowledge of German freaks me out! It's going to be bad.. I know it - I can feel it in my bones~ (I feel it in my fingers, I feeeel it in my toes!) But what can one do except futilely struggle in the hopes that maybe I'll learn a sentence or two. Sorry in advance to my 'German teacher' in Melbourne, lol - I don't think I will be of much use in conversing to when I get back [T.T] Gomennasai-ne!! XD
Lol - I'm feeling lazy to blog now... Aiks - and I still havent even started talking about what I did during New Years in.... guess it??? Hong Kong!!!! XD whee~~ I was soooo excited with that trip, I kid you not! And then once I have had tasted the egg-tarts from Tai Cheong, I felt the whole trip satisfied! Haha - of course not lah....I'm not so superficial, but it was partially satisfying! I got to meet Sherman and Yoyo there as well plus the visiting CMGians: Shermayne, CK and Wei Chi. So.... I obviously have a lot to blog about! Oh, oh.. and I got boots! Like seriously, I am in [LOVE] with this pair of boots which I have got - it looks kind of military and chunky but androgynous as well~ I'm finding my inner tom-boy! Lol XD ok... going to rewatch Full House now! Night nights little ones! :)
P.S. Thought I'll just do the lazy thing and pop in some photos from the HK trip~ XD
doing the whole movie starwalk avenue thingamajjig~ :) posed with Bruce Lee too! XD But I forgot to do his signature pose (T.T)
At Times Square, posing with this cool bear which from what I learnt, is a famous character from a series of children books :) So na rak though! XD
Eating some goodies whilst walking around! I didn't get to take a photo of the pudding we ate that night though... it was HEAVENLY~~~ XD
Egg tarts, egg tarts, egg tarts... need I say more??? It's not the famous one but the colour in the photo looked too great to not post it up! XD I could lie in egg-tart clouds anyday! XD Haha
