The welcoming fireworks before the event, and the cruises. |
On Saturday, We had guest arriving to our house. Kate's sister-in-law, Claudia and her daughter Anna. They arrived quite late in the afternoon. Kate was busy with cleaning the house. She was so stressed up. Gong Joo told me that it is always like that. Kate was easily annoyed with things. She rushed out to buy groceries. Then Gong Joo and I ate the left overs from yesterday. It was really late and I didn't want to wait. I went for a jog in the woods while waiting. Then they were already in the winter Garden having tea and cookies after I jogged. I refused to have cookies because I ate 2 pieces of cake on Friday at Ush. However, I drank half a glass of sekt. They wanted to have really late dinner, just before I leave for the Kölner Lichterfest. They wanted to have a session of chit chat instead of joining Rebecca, her mom and I. I was slightly dissapointed but it turned out really good that Rebbecca and her mom were with me. Instead of going to the crowded area, we went to the south bridge. We saw the cruises and ships passed by. It was fun waving at the people. They cheered and roared. The scene was not as bad as expected although it was so far away, and the music wasn't that loud. We can merely hear it. Her mom didn't like the loud music so they decided that they go to the south bridge instead of being with Leonie. Then I had a really nice time with them and her mom was not that weird as I thought. Perhaps it is just that I am somebody new to her. I got problems speaking to her mother. I tend to think and speak wrongly although I do always have that problem but it was worse. I felt much more better because she is really nice. Rebb explained to me about her sisters and brothers while we were waiting for the fireworks to start. We were obviously very early. I got a good laugh with her stories. I got to know her deeper and I realised that she has quite some similarities with me. That is perhaps the reason why I felt much more easier to speak and interact with her.
I then reached home really late like 0100 on sunday. The amount of people using the tram was unbelievable. The polices were on duty to make sure that the tram schedules is in order. I was really glad that I went to the south bridge instead of some other places since I live so far away from town. The amount of people waiting at the Deutz station was really enormous. Igot a place to sit down before the stations. The tram was totally packed. They were like sardines in a can. They can hardly even rotate 90 degrees. To not be too shocked by the situation, I decided to take a nap until I reached home. They were still talking and having cookies and wine. I explained and went to sleep. What I know was that they slept really early in the morning.

She said something funny |
On Sunday, Kate planned to have a really nice breakfast together with all of us. However, they oevrslept and I had to have breakfast alone befoe I leave to the main train station. Yvy came by and Jamie woke up. They talked about the wedding celebration she attended on Saturday. Sister Claudia was not there because she worked in the restaurant on Saturday. So, I was glad that I left early because Kate told me that she will be serving bacons and eggs. Then, I reached the main train station early to meet up with leonie and Rebbecca. Both of them are bringing me to the Museum Island, the Hombroich museum In dusseldorf. We boarded the S-bahn. While waiting, both of them were explaining to each other what they saw and their thoughts about the firework on Saturday night. Both of them saw different things and rebbecca made a statement that is really good. She says that we see different things from different perspectives. They are really nice to me, they paid for me for the bus tickets from the Nuess tram station to the musuem. The concept of the musuem is just so special. There are houses that are like exhibition halls. The paintings and sculptures are arranged and placed in a artistic manner. Most of the art works are not labeled. The architechure of the houses are also really sophisticated. There are houses are only built and left empty to emphasize on it's architechure. The sculptures we saw on the way was also hilarious looking. I made some pictures with them. Then we had lunch in a cafeteria with also a special architechure. It looks really modern and nice. We ate outside under a tree. There were geese and ducks around us. It was a surrounding with nature, not to mention that we had guest while we were eating- bees and bugs falling on us from the tree. The bugs that were all over us are small but harmless. It is just annoying to see it being all over us. I don't think we managed to get rid of it. I tasted some spread that looks like butter but it is white with colorful stff in it. I saw rebbecca taking a tablespoon portion of it, so I decided to try. The taste of the salt was good but not the texture of it. It make you feel really fat. It is lard spead, they call it Schmalz. I was really lucky that I took a teaspoon amount for a try. Then we went to a exhibition room after lunch and decided to go home. I was actually making sure that I will not be too late for visiting Kenric. He arrived in Germany! I feel so glad and happy that somebody from Malaysia is living nearby. I made it to the station and only Marlene, Martina and I was in Kenric's host familys' house. It is really comfortable to be there and they served coffee with ice cream, plus berries. They talked alot of funny things and his family members seems really nice people. His father even told me that I can come to visit Kenric anytime I would like to. He seems really tired but he is still really a nice boy. Martina told me that he is a bright and open person. It is just that he needs time to learn the language. I can see that he is very enthusiastic. I treated him lebnis pick up since I don't want to have it just to watch my calories. He is underweight so I didn't bothered. He needs more calories. haha, I know that is totally mean. Anyhow, I had a great time. Moritz and the other cousins were there, they were having coffee, wine and cookies again. Sometimes I just wonder how can Gong Joo eat so much but still look the same. Or is it just that she doesn't gain weight.
