a summer well spent,
a summer full of fun and laughter and hilarious happenings,
a summer never to forget. =)
to quote our head coordinator:
"Remember all the new things you encountered, all the friends you made along the way; all the times you came to German class in the morning feeling tired; all the times you thought you had left behind your family and realised you had found a new one here in Germany; the times when soccer became a life force of its own; the time when you realised that one of the best times of your life was about to end; the time when it came to say goodbye and return to your life before Summer University; the time when you told all your friends about it and decided that maybe - one day - you would return to Germany and see all of us again."
the first ones to say goodbye to:

when we got back, we gave them this photoframe with our memories in it as a final parting gift, and also two friendship bands with their names. =) this is marcia before she turned around and started crying =( =( =( we all broke down right there and then, with marcia crying the most and the last look i have of her was her burying her head in her mom's clothes, refusing to see us. =( =( we went out to meet our friends shortly after and she was still crying when we left. we didn't manage to see her the next morning cos she was still sleeping when we left the house and boy, it was really really extremely hard to say goodbye to my two wonderful hosts cum family.
final supper session in stuttgart with kelvin and kenny. =)
being whacky as usual hahaha!
i miss the days of rushing down for breakfast (toasts, juice), chatting with the two of them, having BBQs together, going to the supermart together, singing and playing the piano together, teaching marcia hand games, and saying "gute nacht! habe einen gut geschlafen!" every night. it was a wonderful 6 weeks =) but yes, memories stay but people move on. who knows? perhaps one day wanwei and i will pop by again and see marcia all grown up and petra prettier than ever. =)
yep! my room when i'm halfway through my packing. haha. messy eh?
one journey has ended, but another has just began. =) our europe travel!!
