German language course - A1

I'm down and out today.. A visit to the doc told me that I'm down with gastric flu.. Wonder where I got that from. Anyway, might not be a bad thing cos I have time to update my dear blog.. *giggle*

As I mentioned in my earlier post that I have been waiting for the registration at the Goethe Institute to open for term 5 of this year, I finally managed to get down to the school last Saturday and *viola* - registration is complete. I will officially start lessons on the 16th October 2009 *yay* and after that every Saturday lessons. ~Back to school~
While I was at the school, I paid for the 1st term (there are total 3 terms for level A1), my 'membership' with the school for a year and also for my textbooks for the course.. Took a little peek into the textbooks and thought to myself.. Ok, by the end of my 3 terms, I should be able to understand all these.. LOL
Sorry to say that my limited vocab of the language is still resticted to simple words like - Danke schön / Entschuldigung & 'Da bin Ich'.. *chuckles*  (sorry Mikka, but I try my best...)
Just to be more precise about the course structure in case anyone out there is thinking of taking the course too, level A1 consists of 3 parts - 1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3 (therefore 3 terms) and each term will have 10 lessons (once a week). If you have time to do the full-time course, the duration will of course be shorter cos the lessons run through the week (Mon-Fri) during the day. Just hope that everything goes fine and that I will be able to complete the entry level by May next year.

** My N97 **

Another "at long last thing" happened.. I got my Nokia N97!!!!! yay yay yay!!!

Really came as a surprise too. Actually I planned to get the phone a few months later but my colleague had a friend who was not used to the phone and wanted to sell it only after buying it for a month... What luck I got.. *chuckle*
I spent the whole of last night trying to figure out this cool toy. I really like the e-mail shortcut that you can put on your mainscreen so that you can access anytime. This is a very INTERNET phone, so make sure you have an appropriate mobile plan with surfing or you might end up paying a fortune to the mobile company cos you just can't get your hands off the phone.. LOL

German Course... At long last...

Was faithfully checking the registration openings for the German language course by Goethe Institute Singapur for the past few weeks..
Today I finally got some good news from the school.. The registration for term 5 of this year is finally open. According to the German Embassy (in both Germany and Singapore), I will have to complete my A1 / A2 (not sure for B1 - have to re-check this once again) in order to complete the Resident visa application. Which means... another 30 weeks of school (minimum) for me... Honestly, I don't remember when was the last time I really touched a text book... LOL.. Well, just hope that everything goes well and I will be able to complete my course soon. *GRINZ*

~*~G-FORCE!!~*~ *Hail the Guinea Pigs* LOL...

Saw the trailer for this movie a couple of months back and I told myself - I HAVE TO SEE THIS!!! *LOL* G-Force *The Movie* Official website

I wonder how many of you remember the 'invasion' of the guinea pigs in the Southpark cartoon series? I was just making a joke that they will make it to the movies soon enough.. hell.. it really happened.. now they really are on the BIG SCREEN.. and they became the heroes... *chuckle*

Time for coke & popcorns again... *GRINZ*

Back on Track *PC Revived*

Was actually supposed to get it back last night but my PC doc forgot to take my CPU with him when he left the office... bugger... Nevermind.. at least I got it back, now I'm HAPPEEE......

I told Mikka baby that I saw a news report about an 'invasion' of marmots in Germany's southern Allgäu region that's driving the

farmers crazy.. (http://www.thelocal.de/sci-tech/20090825-21481.html) Now he says he's going 'Marmot Hunting' on Saturday... sounds fun..
He got himself a new toy, the - Canon Photoshot SX200IS - a reeaaal good camera. Can't wait to get my hands on it too... keke..Hope he really finds them and take a few goods pictures..

* But Mikka, be careful not to step into their traps.. Remember they can kill cows too.. * *chuckle*

My biggest nightmare - PC Crashed!!!!

Last Sunday my dearest PC crashed. Having no PC is the worst thing ever. Its like being cut off from everything. No entertaintment, no games, no interaction....... Think people nowadays live by the PC.. keke... Thankfully I still have internet connection when I'm in the office. If not I think I would have started to feel like a caveman already... LOL.
It was really crazy. I was only watching my series as usual nothing else, then suddenly -POOF- it went dead and could not be restarted. Told me that a "WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM" file was either damaged or corrupted. The Windows XP disc did not help as well. I could not even boot up the system in safe mode. There was nothing I could do.
Yesterday, at long last, I managed to get my regular IT guy to pick up the CPU and see what he could do to 'revive' it. He told me that he only re-installed the OS (thank God cos all my data in the hardisk is still intact) and the system could be booted up BUT only in safe mode. There seems to be something preventing the normal startup. He said he will try to fix that and if everything goes well, I should be able to get my CPU back this evening.. YAY!!!.. I keep my finger crossed.
