The sun was really awful on Tuesday.Not to mention that I received a missed call from my dad while I sleeping. It disturbed my sleep because I know that When he calls me in the morning, it is not a good news. He sent me a really sarcarstic message that I used up to 320 ringgit for my phone calls back to the malaysian bank to deal with my debit card. I eventually forgot what the pin number was. He used that and made me feel really bad. I was bothered with that freaking message for the whole morning. I can't actually believe that he wants to torture me mentally and he should know that I didn't mean it. I felt really sorry for Kate that she saw me in that awful fom of me the first thing in the morning. I looked really gloomy.And in school, It was so hot that I couldn't really think well. The temperature was as high as 35 degrees celcius. I got a headache. I screwed up my english paper. Amadeus wasn't there with us as he flew to England for a project from the school. It was really cool to know that the school pays for everything for him to be able to join such programes that will be last for a week. Everything was planned including timetable, visits and accomodation. In the afternoon, It was burning hot and the condition of the surroundingd was totally anoying. I went to the Waldbad while Kate and Arlene was busy with the garden. I think that it is really nice that they do things together. Arlene keep telling me that she feels lucky that she has no brother at all. The swimming pool was really full due to the weather. I felt really weird for not being able to swim properly although most of the people don't really pay attention to me. I had a great time. I felt really weird when Kate asked me to bring a book. I stopped and thought for a while. She told me that it is relaxing to lie down and read for a few hours. It ws such a culture shock. What I only think is only to swim but not to relax because the main idea of me going there is to exercise. She even asked me whether I am asking somebody to go there with me. She told me that it would be nicer to have company. I agree to that but not when I would like to concentrate in swimming. Perhaps it would be nice when another person with the same purpose is swimming with me.
On wednesday, I had no Arts class and I went to Mcdonalds during the arts period because there was a test for the others. I don't know anything theorical or historical about art, therefore I went to hang out with Max, Rebecca's friend in MCD since he wasn't going to get any marks for the semester. Then we talked a lot about the differences of the countries such as Malaysia Germany and America. He was totally crazy about gaining weight. He went to America and gained 8 kgs. That was really shocking. It wasn't that suprising when he told me he went to Mcdonalds everyday for breakfast and lunch. He is still not satisfied with his weight. And I have to agree that he still looks skinny. I can't imagine how he was before he went to America. If I told Kate, that would be a little offensive that he went to America and gained 8 kgs. I skipped choir and went for Orchestra. There were not much members. However, it was totally better than the previous orchestra. I had fun. The people here are nice and sociable, disciplined and fun. The conductress Frau Whitman is really fun and hilarious, she a little child-like. In the evening, Kate, Arlene and I sat in the winter Garden after dinner. We had wine and I listened to them telling me stories of their childhood and travelling stories. Kate told me that they didn't have any money and her mother wanted to travel to Europe. They did alot of bag-packing,camping and tenting. And it was really funny that they told me how funny and memorable it was. Arlene told me her story while she was in Spain. There was a time that the people in Spain had to vote for a new government before the dictator is dead. A famous professor and her wife refused to vote for anything. Then, they were arrested and claimed to be sick. This was broadcasted through the radio while Arlene and her host family was having dinner. A girl said that it is not true, but another person says that it is true because it is broadcasted through the radio. She told me that taught her a really good lesson that she will not forget. We have to really interpret the information we receive and not just accept them blindly. It showed us how effective medias are to change their perspective of thinking. I learned really alot from what they told from their experience.
On thursday, I had sports and played volleyball. I was not in my good form but I was glad that I am better than before. . I had fun and I did really good sports. I felt that Doro is ignoring me a little. Perhaps it is because that I mixed around less with her or something ? Or perhaps it is just that I am too sensitive or having high self conciousness? I don't really know because sometimes she tends to ignore me or not hear me.
Fri- On Friday, I actually had Choir practice but I made my decision to skip the practce in order to make it for the farewell meeting of Shinji, Brian, Flor and Luis. They are really nice people although they seem really weird to me. Especially Brian, he has totally changed the impression I had when I arrived here in Köln. To my suprise, Marlene came too. In the mids of the meeting, we went to a park nearby and have a drink. The part that I think it is funny is when they went in to a alchohol shop. Everyone was suppose to buy something in 5 minutes in the shop. I was walking around with Shinji and he was showing me around to tell me which beer is good although I know taste is something really subjective. Then <moritz saw me walking around and he was asking what am I buying. I told him that I am not buying anything. His expression was totally funny. I tried some from what they brought since I don't drink much beer. On the way to the park, Shinji told me to be really careful to Luis because he slept with girls before from different race. Luis keep getting close to me and trying persuade me for a drink. He was putting his hand over my shoulders and so. Shinji came by and stopped him. It was really a funny scene for me to know what is actually happening. the guys were asking me to say foul words in different languages, for god sake that I can't recall what and how it sounds. Then they told me about the first day of stammtisch regarding Shinji. He drank alot until he went tipsy. It was really funny because Brian and Moritz was supposed to make sure that he knows his way home. Instead of boarding the correct tram as told, Shinji ran to some direction opposing to the correct tram direction. Moritz and Brian board off their tram and ran after him. It was really funny to hear that. They managed to get him after he fell on the ground. Then I wanted to return to the meeting place early because Marlene was there and I wanted to share Fries with her. It was really nice that Brian accompanied me back early. We spoke in languages that we understand and he was walking really fast. He told me that I don't look like I am 18 bacause of my size. Then Flor came by and asked why are we leaving so early. Brian told her that we are going back early because we are chinese. Chinese goes home early. I was totally agreeing to his statement.It was so funny that only chinese could understand why he said that. I am totally going to miss him.
