We were asked to bring various item from home so that we can "basteln" (make) something. If she had said earlier that it's a busy board, It would be way easier for me to bring suitable things. Anyway, I brought Aluminium foil, some covers from bottled food, pasta, Pom poms,…

Cultural difference…

This CNY i/ we decided not to join fellow Singaporeans for the reunion lunch in Munich. Sad and sorry to say despite most of them living in Germany for a long time. They still think that they are privilege, special etc. I am really not interested in listening to your…
