Thank God I passed the test...all my effort hv been paid for...I got one mistake...deep inside me I´m not satisfied...I was careless not too read the answer carefully, it´s a simple question...those difficult questions I got all correct...anyway...the bottom line is I don´t have to repeat the test.  and now I can close the chapter and concentrate on other things etc. packings, clear my errands, cleaning...I´ve not been doing nothing since weeks...my apartment is in a mess...

yesterday I had a great day, after the test I met a Russian friend, Julia for a breakfast at Sax, my favourite cafe...then I saw another Indonesian friend there whom I supposed to meet on Wed...huh, she asked me if I do nothing afterwards, so since I stayed with Julia till 12noon, I hanged with her in the city and it´s snowing the whole afternoon...we saw Santa Claus around the crowd...it´s beautiful day.  We went for shopping, for lunch and then coffee...that´s a pleasure catching up with her...I came back home around 7pm and I was damn tired...but it was a great day for me.

Today I went to visit a Thai friend who´s just got a baby girl 3 weeks ago...her baby´s name is Sandra...she is so cute...once I´ve download the pic I´ll upload here ok.

I´ve been wanting to announce earlier but everytime while I was thinking what to write I kept on postponing.  Actually I´ll be moving to Qatar in about a month´s time from now.  Those who don´t know where is Qatar...it´s actually under United Arab Emirates country (UAE) close to Abu Dhabi, Dubai & Bahrain.  I was there three weeks ago to look for an apartment around.  The possibilities are there but with the limited choices.  Qatar´s scenario is similar to Dubai except that Dubai is much more developed...at least I´m closer to home then. 

So I don´t really have much time left...but I´ve started with my German driver´s license which I´ve been procrastinating since a year.  I´ve stopped my German course since more than a month...it makes no sense to continue anyway because I have to concentrate on my license thingy.  I´ve been learning the driving theory really hard...I have 60 sets of tests to study, each set contains 30 questions...so altogether are 1800 questions.  My theory test will be on Monday 19-Dec at 7.00am, if you live on this side of the world you could imagine how cold and dark at this hour while some are still in bed...so 6.45am I have to be there and I have to wake up at 5.00am...argghhhh I hope I won´t oversleep...

besides the license, I´ve been busy busy uprooting...with packings, sorting out which one should be packed, basically I need only summer clothes...in the beginning I was a bit sad to the fact that I have to move...after about two years living here and get to know some nice people and then you have to leave again...and to start all over again in another country...but on the other hand I´m excited to learn about other new lifestyles and cultures...it´s a mixed-feeling actually. Anyway...2 years isn´t that long...time runs really fast nowadays and you won´t feel it when you enjoy it...it´s only too long if you don´t enjoy it...so enjoy your time while you can!
