Just went driving again. :) Did the usual rounds and reverse parking. Then even hill start!! :) It went pretty well. On the way back, it was drizzling and I had my glasses on, so naturally my eye sight wasn't too great. Anyway, I didn't see a bump and stepped on the break and we bounced over. I could see Papi grabbing for the hand break already. ^^ When we got home, I stopped really short infront of a car. I couldn't even stop properly, because Papi pulled the hand break. Then the car died. xD Not my fault. I would've left enough space. xP
Ok, better study Wirtschaft & Recht

On friday, after school, I
thought my
first ISTD class!! :) Grade 5 tap. How exciting is that?! Actually we were supposed to do choreography, but I only got the CD before class and Nisha didn't turn up. So we ended up doing syllabus for the whole class. I'll think of something till the next class.. :) Already have an idea..
Yesterday, Papi and I went
driving again. ^^ He freaked out again. I drove a bit faster already and I managed U-turns pretty well - Papi thought I was doing it in 1st gear, but actually the car was in second gear during the U-turns. xD And then also reverse parking and forward parking. He wanted me to go up this really steap hill, but I didn't dare, eventhough the roads were practically empty. Oh and coz we drove at the back road - shortcut from 1U to Centrepoint. I drove and then after we got to BU again, I wanted to stop, but Papi said drive in, so I did. And then I realized, I was driving where there were cars etc. On a real road. Then I just drove all the way home. I think Papi was super relieved, when I got out of the drivers seat. xP
We got
Grey's Anatomy Season 1 & 2 on friday after class. Have been having a marathon since then.. ^^
I did the
Pruefung 2003 - Region Mitte yesterday. I got a
TWO!! Yesss!! And I actually still had an hour left.. :P
Today, I'm gonna do Pruefung 2006 Region Mitte and study somemore..
Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

The
Expat Magazine's Extra thingi about Education just came out. And guess what it says says under the Schulgebühren (school fees)? It say 11th and 12th Grade are going to cost RM 29900/-. Are they insane?! The current one is RM 19900/-. That's like RM 10000/- more!
The
German European School Singapore charges S$ 16990/- per year. That's about RM 37900/-. Only RM 8000/- difference and they have so much more to offer - nice and newer school building, free ECAs, air-cond sports hall with German equipment, more subjects and an Abi that has been around for years.
The Abitur we are going to be taking here is going to be the
Deutsche Internationale Abiturprüfung, for which we'll be the guinney pigs.
What great motivation to stay here, huh? [note the sarcasm!!]
Mami was already saying they might as well ship me off to Singapore for my last two years. Or all of us move there. I mean, it would probably be more worth it. We'll see.. ^^

My turns are back!! :) Yay. I managed quite a few clean tripples today. It felt so nice and controlled.. So straight. ^^ It was as though I was just being turned and turned.. Good turns today. xD
Minitoons is opening in 1Utama. ^^
The Ski Championships are on in Are, Sweden at the moment. So I decided to check Astro, to see, whether they're broadcasting any of it. Guess what - no. I looked through, but it's always the same thing - Auto Racing, Football, Basketball, Golf and Rugby. Oh well.

A man is driving down a deserted stretch of highway when he notices a sign out of the corner of his eye..It reads:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION
10 MILES
He thinks this is a figment of his imagination and drives on without second thought....Soon he sees another sign which reads:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION
5 MILES
Suddenly he begins to realize that these signs are for real and drives past a third sign saying:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION
NEXT RIGHT
His curiosity gets the best of him and he pulls into the drive. On the Far side of the parking lot is a stone building with a small sign next to the door reading:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
He climbs the steps and rings the bell. The door is answered by a nun in a long black habit who asks, "What may we do for you my son?"
He answers, "I saw your signs along the highway and was interested in possibly doing business...."
"Very well my son. Please follow me." He is led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented. The nun stops at a closed door and tells the man, "Please knock on this door."
He does so and another nun in a long habit, holding a tin cup answers the door... This nun instructs, "Please place $100 in the cup, then go through the large wooden door at the end of the hallway."
He puts $100 in the cup, eagerly trots down the hall and slips through the door pulling it shut behind him. The door locks, and he finds himself back in the parking lot facing another sign:
GO IN PEACE.
YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS. SERVES YOU RIGHT, YOU SINNER

On thursday morning, we drove to Singapore - well, technically (sp?) JB. We parked there. Then took the
SBS bus over to Singapore. From there, we got onto the
MRT in Woodlands and took it all the way to Lavendar.
There we went to ICA. I needed to get my PR stamped into my new passport. We were in and out of there in less than half an hour! Amazing! And I actually didn't even need Papi along. I could have gone all by myself.
We basically just wandered around Orchard Road for the rest of the day. Then got me a ticket for the ballet on the next day.
Friday, I just went out all by myself. It was nice ^^ Had to be home in time to get ready for the ballet. Then I took the MRT to CityLink and walked to the
Esplanade. I had a ticket to watch the 8pm performance of
Romeo & Juliet by the
Stuttgart Ballet. It was amazing!!! :)
I want to watch the
Queensland Ballet in March - they're doing
Alice in Wonderland. Looks pretty cool ^^
Oh and we came back yesterday.
Now I have to work.

"We all think we are going to be great.
And we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren't met.
But sometimes our expectations sell us short.
Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected.
You've gotta wonder why we cling to our expectations
Because the expected is just what keeps us steady, standing still.
The expected is just the beginning.
The unexpected is what changes our lives... "

Today, we had an
excursion to
Templer Park. First we climbed tons of stairs. We passed a few waterfalls. Then on through the
Jungle! It was kinda scary at times - slipping etc. But all in all it was actually pretty cool ^^ When we got to the top, there was a really nice and cold
Waterfall there. xD It was really super cold! 23 degrees Celsius. Then after the nice dip in there, we continued on downwards again. In the past two years, they went with a different route, but there are really aggressive wasps there, so they decided to take a new and unknown one. We had to stop somewhere, because we couldn't go on in the jungle. We had to cross the waterfall. After a lot of hmm-ing and ha-ing, we managed to get across. ^^ The stones were really slimy and slippery. But we made it. :) Ok, then we went on through the jungle all the way down. And got through safely. We even got to see a snake, monkeys, leeches and a centipide.
I'm tired.

After Church, on the way home, we dropped Granny off at her friends house. It's somewhere in Desa Sri Hartamas. It's so beautiful!! Really unfair.. :P
Then we realized, that I hadn't driven in a long time, so we went to one of the back roads near by. I managed to drive off pretty well this time.. :) I let go of the clutch a bit to fast sometimes, but it was ok. I even managed the bumps (with breaking n everything!!) and then starting from ontop of a hump. And I did some U-Turns. My starting is getting better. We've decided, that we should do this at least once a week. Hehe.. then when it comes to the real lessons, I'll know how to drive already xP That's how it was with my cousins. Anyway, next week or the week after, we'll try the hill near by. ;) That should be interesting - especialy the hill starts and going down..
I can't wait to get my license!!! Only another 253 days till I turn 17. Can hardly wait.
Lol.. Let's see. This was my 5th lesson. :) hihi.. The first two were in Austria with a Peugot and a VW Golf. Then here - our big white bus and the last two with our Nissan Terano. ^^
Well,, there's still loads of time..

Today, I got my new passport :) It's one of those
bio-metric passports. The cover is hard, but the page where my info is on is very flexible. The info page even has my height and signature in already. Although my height is 1cm off. I'm actually 1.74m, but it says 1.73. I was 1.73 when i got it made.
It's really ugle - the pages. It looks so..
china? I don't know, but not very nice. The old ones pages looked way nicer. Oh well. It's got the
Bundeslaender imprinted in it. ^^
Anyway. I have to go to
Singapore next weekend. Yay!!!! xD Finally. Although I don't want to stay too long - still have to prepare for my
Mathe Pruefung. >.< Ayo! I have to get my PR stamp over into the new passport. Hopefully I can still get tickets for Romeo and Juliett - Stuttgart Ballet.
The "singaporeans" arrived. We went for dinner - seafood. Tomorrow we're gonna be there at 10am already. I'll just walk over from there to ballet. Then back again.
Next week we only have 8 hours of proper lessons. :) Yay.

JokeThere once was a very good old barber in San Francisco. One day a florist goes to him for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to
pay the barber and the barber replies: "I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service."The Florist is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and a dozen roses waiting at his door.
A policeman goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. But the barber replies: "I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service." The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning the barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and a dozen donuts waiting at his door .
A Malaysian software engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. But the barber replies: "I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service." The Malaysian software engineer is happy and leaves.
The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, guess what he finds there...
Can you guess?
Do you know the answer yet?
Come on, think like a Malaysian....
..... a dozen Malaysians waiting for a free haircut
