I'm bored now. I almost have no work this week, and as it is the last week before I go I'm restless and dreaming about travelling.. The strike is fading out, most airplanes are in the air now and I shouldn't worry too much about getting to Amsterdam, which is good as. :) Less stress... Funny how easily I get stressed.

Oh Jo, if you are online, could you email me your phone nr? And when will you be back in KL?
To all my Chinese friends: Happy new year! hope the dog will treat you all well. Celebrate hard.

breathe in.. breathe out

I dunno.. The strike in SAS is getting to me. I thought it would only last for one or two days, but now it has been five days and they are still not any nearer a solution... I'm not flying with them next time, they have officially lost me as their customer. I'm flying Norwegian from now on, no more SAS, they simply cannot be trusted. They put airplanes in the air that haven't had their safety checks, if there are few customers they cancel the flight, and now the pilots are striking... Norwegian is really benefiting from all the chaos though, most people are saying that they want SAS to be sold off by the state. I kinda agree....

Apart from that, I got one shorts today, and it doesn't look totally awful. It's not great either, but it is definitely better than the ones that I tried on the other day! :D

So now I'm on my way to work. I'm going to work the entire day tomorrow! From 7am to 8pm! I'm gonna be whasted, but since it is one of my last days at work I don't mind too much, I'll have until next friday to rest, that should be enough. :) MOOLAH!!!

shorts...

Today has been a kinda down day... I have been trying on shorts, and realize that I look absolutely horrible in them. My legs are ugly as, and white as, and I really don't want to show them. Which is kinda bad, when thinking of that I actually will die if I don't wear shorts when I go to Sing and M'sia... *sigh* It's too late to get a tan before going, and I also cannot loose 30kgs before going, so I am doomed to look like shit. Girls: get some really good sunglasses before I arrive, cuz I promise that looking at me will be like looking straight at a white as billboard in the sunlight.

I'm annoyed by Stafford who have ignored my email. No info on our roommate.
There will be better days ahead though! Today is just a bit down. Das ist alles.

Meeting my dad to go for dinner today, it'll be good. :)

storms!

Fuck I hate blogger.
I just wrote a LONG AS post, and now it's all gone. And I have no time to write it again, cuz my time is up. :'( Anyway, here are the pictures that I posted, they are all that I have time to upload now. *sigh* It's storming like crazy outside, and I have to be at work in one hour. For some reason, I didn't quite think of the possibility of storms when I signed up for this job, but so far it has not been that bad. Ppl up north are adviced to keep inside because of the strong winds, here where I live it's not that bad. But it's a bit hard to balance trays of food when I have to focus on keeping my own balance as well...

Doing fine with German, now I'm doing verbs, which is not that fantastically fun, but at least I'm good at it. Hopefully some day my German will be equally good as my English...


Ok, I really have to dash off now... Stupid blogger!

Bergen

I went to Bergen with my mom yesterday and did some shopping. :) It was good, got stuff that I needed for my trip, and some cool new music. Wuhu!
Well, not a lot going on lately, still working and making the days pass with German language. Got my offer of study, so at least things are going as they should. :)

Seems everyone are updating their blogs now... I can't bring myself to do that. Too much work, and I still like the looks of it, so then stuff it. Nice bloggie. :)

My second day off, and then tomorrow I'm embarking on another 4 days of work. It's a bit on and off, on average I've got about 27 hours a week, still I wish it was more.. I've got to stop spending money now and save them for my holiday instead! I got the best shoes ever, they're Ecco shoes and I got them real cheap, like $120! So I couldn't resist... but that will be the only pair of shoes bought here now. (hopefully... there is another sale starting tomorrow, and I'm a sucker for ecco shoes..)

Now here is a few thank-yous:

Thanx heaps for the Xmas card Loic! It was cute as. I hereby promise that if u take me to a French restaurant in Welli, I will eat snails. All though the thought of it makes me wanna gag...

Thanx for the lovely card from Thailand, Trong, Jo, Feli and Regi! I really liked the card, so good choice. :) Can't wait to get down to see you guys! and cool as that I get to see the body piercing thing! It is what I think it is isn't it? lotsa ppl that put sticks and stuff through their skin to prove their love for a god or something? Man, it'll be the best holiday of my life.

Thanx for the Narnia card Trav! but, I thought u had 4 names? I must have got it all wrong then.. Ah well.

Wanna travel now..

Well, I thought I'd show some more pics from my surroundings.. The boat in the picture is the place where I work now, and the fiord in the background is the one that I cross about 16 times every day. Well, working in a kitchen is pretty all right though, I like it a whole lot more than cleaning floors. :) Gonna miss the ppl there when I go, they are really nice. but then I have a lot of nice ppl in Welli that I miss now, so the trade will be fair, I guess. :D

Then this picture is the picture of an old farmhouse close to our house. You know how kids always make up ghost stories and find houses that are supposedly haunted.. Well this was our haunted house. It was said that there was a kid that got stuck in the mud under the house, and then he drowned cause the mud sucked him in. And it really was muddy inside the house, so it was perfect. Actually, this house still gives me the creeps. I now wonder what the farmer thinks about it, you can't see it but his house is just behind this house. I guess it's used for storage of hay and stuff... hm.

Days are ticking by slowly. I'm working quite a lot now, and that's sweet as. I don't mind. The weather is finally becoming milder, which sucks, cause I really wanted the water to freeze properly. There has been ice on it, but not strong enough to walk on. Or rather, strong enough to walk on, but not to trust. Oh well, I haven't been able to find my iceskates anyway. ^_^ I did find my rollerblades though. I'm having an internal battle with myself whether I should bring them or not. Mostly my mind is not here at home anymore. Tried to get some info from Stafford house about our mystery roommate, but they had only just started allocating flats... I'll try them again in one week. Too curious to wait.

Loooong time no see

This is gonna be a hard post to write. there is this guy sitting next to me and he is chewing gum with a passion to make as much noise as possible, and it's driving me nuts. If I only told him to shut his mouth, I wouldn't have to listen to all that noise, but then he would think that I'm only picking on him because he's black. And anyhow, I wouldn't tell anyone else to shut their mouths even though they were white, I guess I REALLY don't like confrontations... So instead I vent my fustration on you guys. It's a complicated world...

I've had a good Xmas with lots of snow and an average of -10 degrees. It was absolutely perfect. :) We travelled to Trondheim at the 21st, and reached our destination hours later than planned because of the conditions at the airport in Oslo. Crap airport, they close a lot because of bad weather... My Grandmother was really happy to see us, and I wish in a way that I was able to spend more time with her during the year. I'm gonna be a good grandchild now and write letters and send her pictures and stuff, I know how much she appreciates that, so from now on: Dicipline! (Or whatever it's called.)
Got lots of nice presents, and mostly didn't get anything I didn't need. Sweet as. :) I'm now in the process of planning my return to lovely Welli, and I will be back there at the 20th of Feb. Whee! after a super duper trip to Singapore and Malaysia. I can't wait! But I know I have to.

I have to get serious about my studying though, I've been lazy as all holiday. So today It's back to studying and no more lazing about! I'm only making it worse on myself by not studying German, so I want to finish the book before I go back in one month.
Ah well, I have to run now before my brain overheats and explodes because of all the chewing being done next to me. Catch ya later!
