We had an excursion to d town area of stuttgart for architecture lesson yesterday. Imagine about 20 ppl being herded in town in d relentless rain. Horrid. It was so cold my fingers were too numb to press d buttons on my keypad. D funny thing is, yesterday was d 3rd time i've been given a guided tour thru d town area to d same buildings, to d same church, to d same market hall. D only thing i was actually lookin forward to was d visit to d main train station n going up the station tower n being able to get a bird's eye view of stuttgart, but d excursion insisted to b a disappointment wen we arrived der n Mark, d teacher realised its closed on mondays. Grrr.... ah well, der's always tmr, or d next day or d next 40 days.

Dis architecture teacher of mine, Mark Phillips, is a 36 yr old English man who has been livin in Deutschland almost all his life, so he talks like a german. He has dis mysterious, brooding face w dark brown shoulder length hair n a hint of stubble. He wears a knee length black jacket n brown shoes w orange laces. Ok, so y m i describing him in such detail? Cos i fancy his look, der i've said it. But unfortunately, dis man w a hugh-grant-like aura cannot, for d life of me, hold my attention. He is so monotonous! But alles kla, i'll manage. Ahhhh....

Moving on....
I called home yesterday. ok u c, i had to be strategic, so i called d love first. i managed to control my tears n d phone call was pretty good wer we exchange funny stories for a while, so i laughed a lot during this phone call. Then, i called mom n d niagra falls were utterly unstoppable. d whole time, i spent talkin while trying my best to wipe d streaming tears off my face. i did calm down abit but wen she passed d phone to my dad, d dam broke again. it was crazy. i came out of d phone cubicle 20 mins later w swollen red eyes. Woosh! ok dah, satisfied for d day.

huifang n hajar came back w me to my place n we cooked dinner! Fusili w tomato/chilli sauce with champignons n rosenkohl.... Kenyang.....

Ok now i'm gonna share w u about d place wer i am now.
Some general info about Stuttgart:
Stuttgart is d capital city in d state of Baden-Wurttemberg. It is one of the highest industrialized areas in europe n d largest wine producing state in germany. It produces 60% red wine n 40% white wine. D name stuttgart came about wen a man came hear to look for a horse stable. He made dis place a big horse stable n named it Stuartgarten(stuttgart) from Stuart=female horse n Garten=garden.
