Schools start again today after a long holidays in Germany...people get back to work and the morning traffic begins...but I´m still sitting at home thinking what to do then, shall I go to the city? I was feeling low the whole weekend...nothing´s done, juz tried some new recipes and watch movies...the new year has juz started and everyone has new year´s resolutions...I can´t really tell mine, everything´s put on hold...the forwarder will come on the 20th to collect the boxes but so far I haven´t got any boxes yet, how to pack them all.  And my visa will take longer than expected , due to the long holiday in Qatar (Idul Adha).  The earl ier plan is to leave the country by 25th but now I have to stay a bit longer...my tel. line & TV´s pay-programme& nbsp;juz till end of this month.  Things don´t go as planned...it´s not really a choice but I have to make do with it...life moves on...the best is to enjoy every moment I have now with the charming people I rolled around with...hope the plan for breakfast tomorrow will happen...so far none is replying my email...sigh...

Anyway, my driving class is progressing well despite the snow and cold weather....last two weeks we really had 15-20cm snow and now the road is clear again with a short time sunny-day....thank God!!!

taken on 25-Dec-06.

my next driving class is tomorrow afternoon at 3pm...so far I´ve done 9 hours and this week will be the last week for driving class and next Tuesday (17th) will be my practical driving test.  Basically, I have no problem with driving except that the rules are different here...you really have to pay attention to the pedestrians, cyclists and buses...unlike in Malaysia, they have priorities in any case here, furthermore you drive cars with left-steering-wheel on right-hand-side of the road...that requires you to think ahead...

have to go now & will catch up later...
