Bye bye 2005

HAPPY 2006 EVERYONE!!!

Oh man... another year is gone. And very soon my Working Holiday Visa is expiring... I can't believe it, I still remember vividly the months I was spending in London, adapting to a whole new environment and enjoying the freedom and heading the route to self-discovery. One and a half year has since become a history, and with this I can also count the months I've been with Flo (mein Schatz). And not long ago, Angela has decided to join me in the holiday making experience - I guess she has a bit more time than me to still enjoy the sights!

Everybody like to do a bit of re-capping at the end of the year of what they have accomplished, for me I can't put them into words. I can only say for the last 2 years, there has been a lot of learning experience for me. Things happened, progressed, changed... in my family back home, in my relationship, in my friendship, in my working experience in London, my travels in europe and also with my own self. I should say I am still very glad I am in one piece, and at the moment am happy with my life and very much looking forward to the new year. Yes, 2006!

My horror or fear of returning back home has since disappeared. Instead, I feel eager to see my friends back home again, to find a super GREAT job and earn more money for future holidays. Somehow I have a lot of "ideas" of what to do when I get home, but nothing seems to be in the right picture yet. I am also wondering how has Angela changed since her experience in London - I believe it is going to shape her up;) or it already did!?

As to the last few days before the end of 2005, I have done some new stuffs. I tried Ebay, bought the Lomo Fisheye Camera I had been yearning for. Ebay is cool, I think I will try a bit more shopping on there! Me and Flo got this PC-DVD game and we have now completed it in 3 days - good partnership. It is called Black Mirror (only in German.. Schade!), it is like an adventurous mystery where you go speak to important people and solve the puzzles! I give it 4.5 stars out of 5 for its amazing graphics and animation!! Fantastic characters and buildings, witty plot. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!! Lady luck has also been on my side a little, I was booking my hostel for the coming holiday... just a few minutes before I booked the "only double room", someone else just hit his/her booking button! Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn... I was cursing, swearing... actually I was more upset than angry... and I tried for hours hoping something will happen. And it really did, some hours later, as I refreshed the page, the room became available again. That someone could have cancelled it. I couldn't believe my luck... so I grabbed my opportunity this time:D

As for my achievements last year, I am proud to say I have attended a German Language Course - at the very least I can speak and understand some now!! Oh I should give myself a pat for the solo travelling I did some months ago to Ireland and York/Scotland. --> it does feel a little weird mentioning 2005 as last year now!


Let's welcome this new year with open arms!! Even though we are again getting one year older, I hope this year brings us bigger surprises!
