I did bring home a German-born Blond Male

My achilles heel is tall blond guys with blue or green eyes.

Call Me "Steiffmeister". B1 wanted to call him Monsieur B, but that's Mr B's name (on this blog)

While we were visiting the Steiff museum (more on that later), I asked B1, may I have a teddy bear as my birthday present? Talk about letting him off easy (I had originally intended to get German book as my present). But after staring at all those teddies in the museum and shop, I really wanted one. HM said that that the lady who was demonstrating how teddies were made, told him that only those teddies that wear the "Made in Germany" stub on their left ear, are really made in Germany. The rest are made in other parts of Europe and QCed in Germany.

So searching all over the shop for a teddy which wasn't mindblowingly expensive, I found this guy. Huggable and adorable. :D

On the way back from Germany, B1 turned to me and remarked drolly "hey, you did bring home a gin mo (blond-headed) male back from Germany."

I had threatened to "scheidung" him a few times when he made me mad there, and come back to Singapore with a blond man. I came across the word on a gossip magazine headlining Heidi Klum's ongoing separation, and we had been using it on each other ever since. It is our favorite German word.

I replied, "he doesn't have blue or green eyes. Fail. Looks like I am stuck with you."

Till Pee do We apart

When we were coming down on the Tegelbahn (cable car up and down the Tegelberg), we encountered this young European couple kissing each other passionately in the building, tongues and everything. Even after they finally came up for air, the guy slowly moved away from his other half and their fingers lingered so until they were holding onto each other's fingertips before they regretfully parted, fingers tingling like "magic fingers". The girl even made a clutching gesture at her heart as the guy walked away.

We thought that it was because only the guy was going up the Tegelbahn, but turned out, he was only going to the loo.

Take so long, later your bladder burst into flames. *sourly*

B1 said "this is a case of till pee do them apart".

You have to give it to the Caucasian people, they really love and hate with true passion.

Connie kommt in die Schule

Ich habe dieses Buch, Conni kommt in die Schule. Ich habe es in Kinokuniya für etwa drei Dollar gekauft.

Ich weiss dass es "Conni starts school" meint. Aber kommt auch meint "comes".

Wenn B1 das hört, er sagt "When she has hair on the muff, she's old enough." Droll.

Übrigens, ich eine Schultüte unbedingt wollen. Ich denke, dass die Schultüte sehr spaß ist. Sie ist voll mit Bonbons und Spielzeug.  Schnappi hat gesagt, dass  alle Mütter die Schultüte  für ihre kinder macht . Nur schlechte Mütter kaufen die Schultüte. keke.

Updated!!!
Ich habe in Deutschland gesehen dass, ein Buch kostet 0,95 Euro. Da ist es sicher billiger.

BattleField 3 - B1 style

Most people play with controllers. B1 plays Battlefield 3 with PS3 and an emulator...

The pragmatic side of me would ask why the hell you don't just play pc version? The geek loving side of me is totally digging this =D

I also realize that I suck at FPS. Both of us had motion sickness watching me move across the scene. No wonder I have to stick to RTS. I asked B1 if most girls cannot play FPS, he said no, because in that case most women also cannot play RTS. How can that be, women are such scheming creatures. RTS is up our alley  =D.
