all's well that ends well. i'd like to extend my congratulations to xuefang. i think you did really well!! (though you may not read this).

going back to tj makes me emo. haiz. i don't know why i did it, but i sat at the bus stop for 20 minutes waiting. and of course nothing happened lol. so i went to samuel's place and gave tuition. thank goodness i have those kids. at least for those 2 hours i could fully concentrate on a concrete matter.

why do we have to change?

looking forward to field trip to Penang. heh. other than that.. no good news.

after a presentation in goethe class by a classmate, i've decided to check this guy out. Friedensreich Hundertwasser. He must be rather eccentric. Born Friedrich Stowasser, (a perfectly normal name), he decided to adopt the name Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser. literally translates to Peaceful Rainy-day Dark-and-colourful Hundred-waters. not my cup of weird name. but that aside, his architecture is very interesting. some similarities with Antoni Gaudi in the use of mosaics and biomorphic forms. and looks a bit middle-eastern thick-wallish. he's austrian btw.



quote from his Verschimmelungs-Manifest:
"
A person in a rented apartment must be able to lean out of his window and scrape off the masonry within arm's reach. And he must be allowed to take a long brush and paint everything outside within arm's reach. So that it will be visible from afar to everyone in the street that someone lives there who is different from the imprisoned, enslaved, standardised man who lives next door."

makes me wonder if the many colours he assigned to his buildings are supposed to act as camouflage. but cool, nah? (thank goodness i haven't started using "gell") in the picture above, the whole area is like his playground. the buildings scream existence. and authorship. not for the low-profile.

fate is a line of non-uniform thickness. it may fade. just like using a brush. the more you exert, the thicker the line. and when you let go, well.

anyhow, i've just received my cert for the B2 Pruefung. which went 23/25 compre, 25/25 listening compre, 21/25 written expression and 17.5/25 oral expression.er it was.. what i expected i guess, but not like a fantastic surprise. lol. but yeah, given the level of difficulty, i'm satisfied. at least now i can use this cert to work.

well we'll see how it goes.
