Usually, nothing much really happens in between my posts. I mean, even though I update my blog like once every 2 months nothing much happens anyway. I’m still happily attached (sorry girls). I’m still sexy. The only thing that changes, are the idiots that I meet in my different groups and even that’s a constant. Not this time though. This time I have sooooo much to blog about I don’t even know where to start. Expect my blog to be updated much more frequently over the next few months because I’m just completely backlogged with stuff to blog about.
I guess I’ll begin with a quick run down of everything that’s transpired thus far and then I’ll probably talk a little more about each event in separate posts. Well at least the stuff that’s more worthy of your time. But since missing cookies previously warrant an EPIC post (as seen here), you can expect pretty much everything to be covered.
1. My Birthday. For all of you that forgot. Shame on you.
2. I settled into Mannheim, my home for the next few months.
3. I totally owned Spain.
4. And finally, I’m back here in Mannheim with classes starting next week
And so where better to begin than my Birthday – The Longest Day
On my 24th Birthday, Singapore mourned because it would be deprived of my Mojo for 4 months. Upon hearing of my exchange plans, Singapore cuts GDP forecast to 4-5%.
Of course the Government hid the real reason but the impact of my departure is evident and I apologise to all who will feel the repercussions of my decision.
So the time came for me to leave Singapore and my flight was scheduled at 740am. Merciful as I am, I ordered my groveling minions not to send me off as that would mean that they would have had to be at the airport at 540am, an ungodly time by anyone’s standards. My traveling partner and compatriot, Hey Gorgeous SMU winner, Wu Jiahui, showed no such compassion. Arriving at the airport with a full entourage made up of the remnants of her dwindling fan-base (most of which had defected to swear allegiance to Queen of Queens, Elle Yeow), she looked very much the Queen, albeit of a nation on the brink of collapse. See what the Queen of a dying nation looks like here.
After a few farewell shots, I embarked on the longest day of my life. On my 24th birthday, the sun refused to set. Leaving Singapore at 740am, we arrived in Frankfurt Singapore time, 1am the next day. And yet… the sun was still up. In fact the sun was up all the way until Singapore time 330am (Germany 9pm). I can only think of one logical explanation for what happened. The sun was drawn to my Mojo and followed me to see where I was going.
Nothing particularly blog worthy really happened during the trip however. Well, nothing besides the celestial displacement of the sun. Mostly I just napped, stoned, ate and watched a few movies. One thing for sure was that Thai Airlines’ in-flight entertainment was pretty bad. I had heard that we’d get a private screen but it was just a shared screen in the front and it was poorly lit so half the time you couldn’t see what was going on. They showed Ironman though so that was great. And there was this gay looking male flight attendant which really is the Thai Airlines equivalent of our Singapore girl. So it was really cool seeing a Thai national icon. We were pretty lost when we arrived in Mannheim but that was to be expected. However the most epic thing that happened was when we stopped over at Thailand for 3 hours. During the wait, we decided to play cards and I got round to teach Jiahui how to play Daidee. After playing a while, she was struggling pretty badly even though she picked up the basics fairly quickly. Her main problem was she didn’t know what cards she had and as a result she either took too long to put cards down or she might have a full house but didn’t know it. It finally dawned upon me why she was having so much trouble. Observe!
Heehee… we all had a pretty damn good laugh at that. Thanks Jiahui! You made the wait totally enjoyable!
