Shapes

Winter Solstice Festival was like 3 days ago, on 21st Dec. It feels alil weird that I am not at home this year.

I used to be up in the morning helping mum making 'tang yuen'. Mum and I would compete with each other, who would roll the glutinous rice dough the fastest. Mum's is always smaller and rounder, looks more presentable too. Once the 'tang yuen' is ready, we prepare for the prayers.

This was one of my favourite celebration.

One - yummy tang yuen (with PEANUTS, sometimes) fillings
Two - fooood (especially steamed chicken and homemade tumbuk-chilli)
Three - family dinner at home

Earlier today, I made 'tang yuen' soup with sugar, ginger and vanilla essence. I think the soup turn out rather yummy. Or I was just feeling hungry. Or I was bias. The shape of the 'tang yuen' was, not round. LOL. Its always about the taste and not the outlook right?

Half of the 'tang yuen' fillings was Nutella. If only there's nuts for the fillings.

Why was it so late for me to only have the chance to eat tong yuen today ? No reason really.

------- Probably a turkey dish 3 days later (after Xmas). LOL. 

Grammar

2 months ago, I took the DSH course entrance test.

2 months later, I took an exam for the Deutsch Grammar Intensive course I attended. 


Despite from the crazy pain from the cramp, I still went for the exam I was not obligated to. So proud of myself :) 

It couldn't have been possible without care from Mr J. He did so much to lighten the pain I was enduring. After 2-3 hours of rest, it went away and I was fit to take the exam. 

The exam wasn't that tough but I know what I am still weak in and should work harder on that few points. 
Yes, I am more motivated than ever to learn the Deutsch grammar and getting it right. 

Sense of accomplishment, when I was re-reading my Grammar book again. I understand what the book says and could correct myself from 2.2 months ago. LOL.  
2.2 months ago, I was struggling to understand and reading it. Now, it feels right.

Verrücktes Wetter

 

I hope I will survive this week.

*gasp*

Schokolade

I think I was a bad omen to two of my coursemates yesterday.



During the break, ... 



I was talking to Alv . As we walk at the corridor, he was nom-ing on his chocolate bar. Just one last bite before the chocolate was finished, it fell to the ground. I can't remember what my question was, but Alv was replying with some hand gestures and it happened. I. Feel. Bad. 

Then, it was Mal's. She offered me chocolate but I said "thank you, its ok".
As she walked towards the window, a part of the chocolate fell. Ugh. 
Alv was laughing upon see-ing this, its like a replay from his.

Coincidence?
I hope so.

Elo Winter

It is official, it is here. 

The winter is so pretty. I think Winter is more beautiful than Autumn. 

Weather goddess in Nürnberg has her own mind. On Thursday, as I look out from the window during class, there was SNOW STORM! 

At 12pm, it looked so gloomy, cold and windy outside.

I, was contemplating and scared about going home with that kind of weather. 

The picture above you see, were taken at 2pm. Yeah, the storm was here to frighten my lil heart for 1 hour and it succeeded. 

You know, the weather here in Nürnberg is unpredictable. 

One day, the whole roof is coated with snow. The next, there is no sign of snow on the roof. Then, it could just rain the whole day. Next, sun and alil warmth. Gosh! 

I hope weather goddess will be considerate this time around and have mercy on me.

"Mr J pondered, 

does the ducks feel cold .. 

swimming in the cold water? "

Ausreden

The many usual excuses you usually hear and say (I am guilty for some).
Enjoy!

Die Tür

It feels super good to see dad and his smile again. I think its been almost a month since I saw dad via Skype. 

Oh, I miss home. And my ever caring family. 

I know what I want this Christmas Santa. The magnificent Doraemon door. 

Dear Santa, I just want to have a weekly meal with my family. It is not too much to ask for right? 

Glühwein

Mein erster Glühwein

It was my first time at the famous Christkindlesmarkt today. The market was a lil small and not as pretty as I expected it to be. Not much of interesting stalls were opened, and too little stalls as a matter of fact. Komisch für mich - I only saw perhaps 3 decorated Christmas tree. Why so few?

I had my first Glühwein! It is warm, which I didn't know about until I hold the glass. Haha. Me and alcohol knowledge is rather non-existent. I, just drink them XD

I have a really nice bunch of coursemates. They have been super nice to me despite my bad Deutsch. It was a good hangout day, to know them a lil bit more :)

Ein guter Tag.
