if only i can simply remove the battery from the tick tock clock

The clock reads 0020 and it continues ticking. I have entered into the last Sunday that i will be spend in Konstanz. one more week left in this little town which i have called (second) home the past 6 months and 3 weeks.

Exams are finally over although I don't know how I'll fair. One more academic challenge -- a political science term paper, and I'll be done officially for my SEP semester. It's been long, but right now, i really hope it never ends. I like it here too much.

Having experienced it myself, I am amazed how people are able to change locations so many times within a period of years. It is the idea of, you go to a foreign land, you try to adapt, you finally get used to it, you have to leave. Exactly the course of my life for the past months. No, not that I am willing to give up everything in Singapore for Konstanz, but the idea that I have no clue when I will ever meet my friends again, sucks totally. Friendships like these can never be exchangeable and compared.

I was showing Eneli, my housemate, my blog today to explain 'Singlish' and we went through some of the earlier entries. Time has passed so quickly. There are so many nice memories. I am glad I wrote about my exchange. Those entries are precious. Blogspot better not die on me. I shall try to print out all the entries when I return to Singapore and frame it up or something. Eneli is leaving for Paris on Monday morning. *heavy-heart*

Anyway, it's going to be a busy week. Tonight, I had steamboat(like FINALLY) with my chinese friends, Shouwen and Mali. Tomorrow is Soba night with Solene, Joey, Asami and maybe Asami's new friend. Dinner with Miri on Monday. Choi Kwun, who does her SEP in Innsbruck is coming on Tues and I am going to make chicken rice again. One more night for bbq with Christy, Shouwen and Mali (since the weather is so good nowadays). One more lunch/dinner reserved for Lee Ting, the other Singaporean girl in Konstanz. Friday is move-out day. Saturday, I will finally see a family member (and some Singaporean delicacies) after 7 months exactly.

Till I find time to blog, seeya!
