Happy New Year!

Frohes Neu Jahr! :) Spent New Year's eve (Silvester) in Cologne with a bunch of Singaporeans including lovely xizhen who brought us around Cologne and Aachen. We counted down along the Rhein amidst self-fired fireworks. There were so many of them that it seemed as though it was an organized fireworks display. :) The enthusiam about Silvester is kinda contagious, but the debris that was left the next day is slightly disturbing. Broken beer bottles strewn on the streets, remnants of fireworks which have been set off.. We're now in snowy Berlin. Trekking through the city with the snow coming down strong is a rather interesting experience. It does snow in philly- but never as strong as this. Berlin still feels oh-so-familiar, despite my almost 5 months abscence. I guess I can now say that it is my favourtie German city of all. Nuremberg, Heidelberg, Bonn and Munich might be pretty, but none of them are as interesting and diverse as Berlin is. :D

I've 2 new year resolutions, which I vow to keep this time.
1) to forget him
2) to study hard and find an internship

:( hard work is required, I'd say.
