Updates from Berlin

Yo friends following my blog. I am sorry for my really inactive blog, since I left Melbourne and arrive in Berlin, my life have always been on the run.

For all of you that have missed out let me refresh you with what I have been doing since

In July,
**

After I have completed my master degree in Melbourne, I took a loooooonnngggg way (almost 21 hours of travel) to get to Berlin. Of course on the way I dropped by my beloved KL for 1 and a half day. Just enough to get all I need for upcoming journey and meet my long-missed family members.

I spent one and a half month in Berlin doing german language courses and getting adapted to the city.
Good side: I met lots of nice people from all around the world, seen lots of nice places, learn alot of new things, get to spend lots of time with Stefan's family and know them better.
Bad side: Missed asian food sooo badly as good asian food is hard to find (haven't found any Malaysian restaurant in Berlin so far), felt alienated sometimes because of the language barrier and of course the usual - home sick :-/

Thanks to the supportiveness of my ever thoughtful boyfriend, Stefan. I managed to overcome most of the downside.

In August,
**
We left Berlin to KL to visit my family and travel a little, we spent three weeks back home and I wished we could have stayed longer but it won't be possible as Stefan had to complete his final thesis which was due in September.
But we both had a good stay, Stefan got along well with my family and tried and seen lots of new stuffs in KL and Malaysia. KL was definitely a good distraction from all the stress we had.


In September,
**
Got back to Berlin, I had to start language school the next day after I flew back from KL. We had to battle jet lagged and adapt to all the stress again. Stefan and his final thesis dateline. I on the other hand apart from doing language course was busy job hunting. It has been a really stressing moment for us as I was sending out many applications but not getting any positive respond. Despite so at the moment, I am still trying and hoping for the best.. *keeps fingers crossed*


More to come on my updates... stay tuned!
