I slept at nearly midnight and got up at around 4am today. I
just couldn’t sleep. Must be nerves. Of course it was still dark outside, with
only the pathways “bright” as it was white with snow. I switched on the radio
and tried to sleep some more as I still had 3 hours before I really had to get
up. Try as I might, I was still up at 5am and was online. Lol! I finally forced
myself to at least lie down in bed so that I won’t be overtired by the time of
my flight.
At 6.30pm, the sky was quite bright. I got out of bed at
6.45am and proceeded to get ready – change, pack, pack, pack. I was done by
8am. Then I went online as I waited for Anna to pick me up.
Anna arrived about 9.30am and together with her and my
hsemate, we brought all my stuff down 5 floors, loaded them into her car; took
a couple of pictures of me and my hsemate, and then it was bye-bye
Dieffenbachstrasse and Karin.
Over at work, Claudia, Marie and I had a one hour morning
chat over coffee, evaluating and wrapping up my stay here in Berlin . It was a good discussion, with a lot
of sharing and information exchange. I feel that my stay here was worth it for
both parties.
Most of the legal trainees and I had one final lunch
together in the office. We just sat around and talked. Then Marie told me that
Joe will be following me to the airport, especially since I have such a heavy
bag (19kgs!). Somehow it seems fitting as he was the one who came and fetched
me on my first day here. So it’s like a cycle. J
The sun was up today!! Probably to say bye-bye as well. At
least it was not THAT cold. Just -2C. Lol!
This entry will be my last from Berlin as my flight leaves at 6.25pm.
Next time round, I’ll be writing from sunny and hot Penang !
