All over again !


i wrote last week that i found a house, right? wrong at approximately 5 pm last friday the real estate agent called us and said that we cannot move in anymore. allegedly the city council sent her a letter saying that the property has to be used in a commercially. well, we called the city council and their told us this should not be a big issue. all we had to do or let's say the owner of the property has to apply a development proposal to change the standard into a residential one.
but the dodgy thing was on the same day i transferred the bond money of 2400 AUD and picked up the keys we get the notice. the whole last week we were negotiating and talking to so many institutions such as the fair trade union to know whats going on. everything was just sooooo disappointing, we even bought color to paint the walls on thursday. the agent was not a good help on the contrary she actually tried to kick us out of the contract as fast as possible. she was obviously annoyed by us because we didn't just accept it. she underestimated us and probably thought we are going to leave immediatly without questioning the issue. well, very wrong lady. but to come to an end, we already looking for another places because it is useless to waste anymore energy on that. we will definitely make a complain and already told the tenant union what happened to us. it is just a pity because we imagined everything. we bought color, rented out the car spaces, i already found someone for my old room and so on.
it is the real estate agents fu**ing responsibility to care and to prevent those things. the worse is that we just had to give in but we will try to get a compensation for all our costs. and yeah everything all over again!!!!that just sucks...seriously.

my little unborn baby brother did still not pop out to our world. my fathers girlfriend was supposed to give birth yesterday. we'll see it will happen soon. i already bought a present for him. it's a teddy bear a very stylish one. it looks like the Mr.Bean teddy bear.
well thats all, i am tired now and a little bit tipsy too hehe.

Auf wiedersehen!

German news versus Australian and much more other stuff to tell

hi everyone,
haven't wrote anything for quite a long time and feel bad about it. but everything was just so exiting recently. also i had to do a lot of stuff. i had to confirm my return flight to Germany. had to rearrange the flight back to Australia. then, my friends and me were looking for a new place...and we found one. it is a very nice place. it is bright, spacious, not very expensive and located in a familiar area. i am now living in surry hills and will move just one street further which is very handy because of moving all my stuff.

anyway, my best friend is back again and we're sharing my room. i thought it would a bit complicated sometimes but it is actually quiet cozy. we're both studying and working so that means we don't annoy each other too much. when this semester is over i fly to Berlin, again. actually i think it is too soon but i have to visit my little baby brother Henry.
Henry is not born yet, but will 'pop out' soon, probably this weekend. he is just my half brother though. but that doesn't matter i think. it is a bit weird to be such an old sister. i gonna be 22 years older than him...for gods sake i could be his mother. what a strange world we live in, he?!

a propos strange world. since i got a bit more knowledge about podcast i download every and single day the German news from an independent channel called ZDF. it is so interesting whats happening in the world but if you watch news on channel seven, nine or ten you become or stay stupid. honestly, there are 22 south Korean Christians kidnapped in Afghanistan (2-3 killed) and its apparently not entertaining enough to keep on reporting on that. there are also two Germans kidnapped near Kabul and one of them got already killed. i haven't seen anything about that in the news. furthermore, a virus spread in Great Britain which could ruin thousand of existences. nope, nothing for the glamor news on most of the channels. i can really recommend the abc news or world news on sbs. but most of the people find those ones too boring to watch...it is a shame. well, i just had to let that out because it just makes me angry that news like "brangelina" or "who is in the rehab today" are more interesting for people than the reality with all it wars.

alright folks, that was my 'speech of the day'***
