A a... like I went on blogging vacation?!

... ent?! Pressure...

World Cup fever persists - despite our being eliminated... but no one of us really expected us to win WC'06, right? We did much more than most though we could do! Well done, Soca Warriors! Two words... well, ok, more than two - Shaka and Carlos... outstanding! *Carlos, will you marry me?*

I felt a pang of jealousy and nostalgia watching the matches and the parades in the streets of Germany... and a tad angry too! Four years ago, when I decided to choose "that German school" instead of doing the conventional - i.e. heading to North American universities for further education - I was greeted with several remarks "Germa-who?", "Germa-where?", "Germa-why-girl?!", "Whey you goin' quite-o quite-o for?", "Honestly now... who even goes there anyways...", mostly said with this facial expression - a mixture of scorn, puzzlement, and ... something else. Now, just about everyone comes with smiles "Can you speak German?", "Aye... yuh ain't goin' back? I goin'?! Teach meh some German nah..."

I love you, Germany. I miss you... I miss our time - when it was ours. I wish I could turn back the clocks... I'd... I'd... fail a couple courses to stay a bit longer :P hehe... joking! But I'd definitely lived it up much more than I did... oi oi oi.

Is it too late? Germany... wilst thou consider the I an' I once again?

Soooooooo.... I am in the process of dropping out of that BEng. programme... yep. I'm a "college drop-out"... camoly! Though I stated to the Head of Department that I "couldn't continue with classes due to unforeseen circumstances"... this isn't entirely the full truth - though it is wholly true.
Yes... the circumstances were unforeseen... I got bored! This may come across as haughty -perhaps - however, other than the fact that the Math class pace was ... well ... ok, I've done most of the things they had to cover, and too... the instructor went so slowly! I was borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeedddd to the max! Chemistry was fine - not easy, and very interesting... and the other course was so so so disorganised and the instructor so full-of-it... and yuh know yuh girl and her gettin'-annoyed-ever-so-easily attitude already and how I turn to switch-off mode!

Truth is, as a friend and fellow (ex) classmate pointed out - it's a Bachelor's... i.e. the first year or two is gonna be more general and basic before specializing in the final year(s). And I believe therein lay the problem... I have already gone through the introductory phases... and I already have been down that "conditioning" road... now I want to specialize! Now... in what? That is another issue... but I do know that I am not willing to go through that again... not that it was hard or boring, but I deem it ...er... unnecessary. And, heck, it's gonna last 2.5 years!! Just a tad too long for something I am so uncertain about :)

Sooo.... other than that, I have rekindled my old flame - yes yes *sigh*... I am back in the gym. Yeah baby, yeah! *allyuh geh frighten eh? Taut I did get marrid? ent? hehe* If yuh see meh Tae-Boing yesterday... like a massah!

And big... no... HUGE plans for this weekend... get ready... ready? READY???? Dum dum dummmmmm.... I have to babysit and tutor my 9-year-old nephew ALL WEEKEND! Starting tonight!!! Whosalosa?! hehe... *allyuh geh frighten again eh?* My sister went to Jamaica with her luv-ah for a vacation and only realised that her son had his end-of-term tests next week... she called me on the brink of tears (she is so much like me... or the other way around... but anyways... in the sense that she detests asking favours of just about anyone and also hates leaving her kids - like everything she holds near and dear - and the responsibilities that go along with them in the hands of anyone), saying that she has the biggest favour that she could ever ask me... this time, I'm assuming it's to give her a huge sum of money to travel the world in search of her "calling", (ok not really), or (more likey - I thought) for me to make several trips around the country for... something. Who knows - she just made it to be such a big deal! When I heard it was to act as tutor and make sure her kid revises for his test... I laughed at her... she's so cute. He's my favourite (but shh.... don't tell the others!) nephew - and he knows it. I am ever so excited - mommy for a weekend! I'd let you know how that goes.

One other reason I didn't blog all these days... I have some pics I took from the match we watched (against England) - but my sister is yet to send them to me... and now that she is all high on Montego Bay, well, fat chance of that happening anytime soon *snickers*. I was also on TV!!!! After the match, the CNC (Cable News Network) interviewed both my sister and I on our post-match thoughts... I had a big red flag on my cheek and said something like:

No worries boys... it was a bit disappointing, and we did so well for most of it... no probs boys... no probs... we deserve being there, and we'd show it soon... we have one more to go... Paraguay - watch out!

Looking straight in the camera - like telling my opponent to "Bring it!" hehe... *oooooooooooh it's oooonnn!*

Oh gosh... like I making up for lost blogs! A a... ok ok... I'd go for now... Department going out for lunch today!

*Zue zooms outta blogger world, proud to have rekindled the ol' flame *of blogging!!! gotcha again, eh? hear nuh... presh-uh**
