Ginny Chua, i went hiking!

Yes.. I filled my gepäck with 9kg worth of weights (in the form of water in bottles) and went hiking up Mount Schönstatt. It was beautiful! Best (or worst? Hmm.. cant decide) of all, it started to snow when i was in the middle of the forest! ahhh.. triggered memories of snowy woods and it was really pretty :) too bad i didnt bring camera with me.. bcos i was really in heaven, it felt a bit like dong ji lian ge bcos of all the trees. except maybe dont look at the mud on the ground and the felled logs lying around painted with their serial numbers and "Vallendar" in bright neon red paint, waiting to be shipped off somewhere. And also ignore the occasional nondescript dilapidated old houses that trigger thoughts of ripper style serial killer movies (think b-grade films.. about american teens hiking in the woods/going on a short camp in the forest in summer). Other than, it was still beautiful hahaha :P

but i was stupid.. forgot to bring my watch. so i had no idea how long i was out there.. I had to deal with it by counting the number of songs that had passed on my shuffle and then calculate the average time.

102 songs in my shuffle
total play time = 7 hours and 12 min = 420 + 12 min = 432 min.
By the time i came back it was the 20th song.

Total hiking time = 432 / 102 x 20 = 80min.

Not bad lah.. haha.

No wait. one major shitty thing happened. the stupid juice carton of "Ja!" multivitamin juice leaked! So now my backpack smells of multivitamin juice (dont ask me what kind of juice is that.. haha) even though i filled it with water. but still there is the multivitamin smell and i have to find a way to dry it (its on top of my heater now) and the inside as well. ROARRRR. stupid carton.

But overall i enjoyed my spazieren gehen hehehe. I know, excessive use of german in this post.. cant help it, i just finished my german exam! yay.. happy but at the same time lost. i want to keep learning german! have to go find some books and CDs etc to help me with it.
