I haven’t been able to focus on learning something for quite a while, as my heart were somewhere else. The only thing could somehow compensate for my guilt a little bit would be my persistence in dancing. I set my goal to learn dancing 2 years ago, and I eventually took action last year. This is my 6^th month taking dancing class and I am doing it pretty well. You can find me in Salas caribe proudly showing myself and enjoy the music and happiness.

I made a wish to be a bar singer, as I can always sing in concert halls, in church choir, and can easily be found on TV program since I was a little girl. I imaged one day I could sit on a chair on the stage of a bar in sexy black dress and swing my body…and I did it!

There were many places on my “TO GO” list. Cambodia and Vietnam were on it. I long for the Angkor-Watt and the Khmer Smile. When I stepped in the long stone causeway leads through the massive wall, I felt peace in my heart. The feeling I got from Ta Prohm was absolutely different. It was breathtaking. The temple and all the man-made architectures are being invaded by towering trees. But they melted so harmoniously. It felt like the temple and nature are part of each other.

Now it comes to 2009. I really need to say sorry to myself as I set my goal to learn another language last year, and I spent pretty long time on thinking about what language I should learn. And when I realized German was the one, I spent the rest of the year on thinking about learning it without taking any action…Ooops, I checked out the classroom, but it was being decorated. So I told myself I would not spend money on sitting in that room full of poison gas. But do you think that’s kinda an excuse? I do…maybe a little bit. So, this year, I make it my first priority. I’m actually taking self-learning lessons at the moment.

Flughafen Tegel. Ah, Ankunft.

Sind Sie Claud Neddermeyer? Ja

Guten Tag. Freut mich.

Freut mich auch.

Willkommen in Berlin.

Danke.

See, my first German self-learning lesson, simple but interesting! The cool thing is, I found a good place to do learning or reading! Julie is becoming a fan of bookworm and making her decision to be a bookworm. Is that all? No way…she is gonna release all the energy at night club haha.

 I wish, at the end of this year, I could speak some German, I could dance better, I put some places on my TO GO list and tick on more places to tell myself I have been there, and I am making my dreams come true.
