Life throws twists to me?

Event 1: My German class teacher begins to get mad at me with the following attendence record: Day 1: 15 min late Day 2: Absent Day 3: 30 min late * It seems that I'm about to throw my deposit $$ into the sea. =p Event 2: My language exchange is cancelled today due to the heavy rain. * Verdamn! =D Event 3: Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 16:58:19 +0800 From: Office of International Student Exchange To: [omitted] Subject: Acceptance letter Pls noted that we have received the acceptance letter from Tuebingen, pls come to 9/F Knowles Bldg for collection. * Did she intentionally send this email at 16:58 when the office is going to close at 17:00? I feel I am facing a similar dilemma like 2 years ago. =p

The 6-Hour-German Marathon

Today is nothing academic. The whole morning: The University summer intensive German class begins. Teacher Wang is humorous, but I prefer to have a native teacher. =p I thought the German level of univeristy students can be better than my Goethe classmates, but in fact they are no different. At the end of the class: Wang: Your German is quite well. Who was your teacher? Me: I did not learn at the University, I learnt at Geothe. (The point is I don't think my teachers at Goethe are particularly well. Maybe I am too picky... =p) The whole afternoon: Department Jupas Interview. There were some 100 students. I think I didn't really help that much except contributing my time. The whole evening: German course at Goethe. Having no revision to attend the class was a complete mess. =p

The last seat again

Since last week, all the airlines except China, Eva & Philippine are full. I waited for a full week hoping that a miracle would appear... In the seismic second (simply went to Agency A, then B, then return to A), there is *a* free seat!!! Now I will go by Korean. =D Today, S replied my email and told me he is just married in HK!! (and he's in HK again =D) I guess with the woman I saw last time, some 6 or 7 months ago? I still remember I helped her to translate a few sentances on a paper, and helped him to translate an email from Chinese into English. As an observer, I simply cannot understand their *magic* way of communications. =p Does it fall into the same theory that L told, "It doesn't matter how long you have gone over it, at the right moment you can progress alot"?! Maybe when I'm at 36, I will have a different thought?

Signing contract

Today I went to Entone to sign the contract. They hired 19 students in total, among them only 2 of them are girls, and 3 of them are from HKU. Pengasus asked me 3 names in Canossa, but I know none of them. I know the $900,000 recorder that he mentioned in the Breifing, I actually have used it once at PCG. I have a bad feeling after sawing the two game consoles... =p
