carpe diem

I've been attending a customer interaction course the last 2 days, which would explain why you haven't been seeing me in the office (except after 5). Oh and I got the best trainee award! I haven't had any awards in the last 2 years, so I guess this is a happy occasion. As Forrest Gump says, "Life's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get!" So, in the words of inspiration from the Dead Poet's Society, we've got to Carpe Diem (seize the day)!

I'll be in chinatown for Oktoberfest this saturday night, if anyone's interested in joining me for a pint or 2 drop me an sms. It'll be a little hot compared to Munchen but I guess we'll still feel the atmosphere. Which reminds me right now of the best foreign film I've watched in the past year, a German movie called "Das Wonder Von Bern". A lot of Germans think I'm mistaken for a swiss movie cos Bern is in Switzerland and the swiss speak German too! But trust me, it's a German movie. Who came up with this term "foreign film" anyway? Every movie we have here is really a "foreign film" from the US or HK or something yah? It was probably the Hollywood chaps who came up with that term. We can come up with something better.

Back to Munchen. A lesser known gem of Munchen that is not Oktoberfest, or that shopping district, or its churches, is the Munich Museum of Science and Technology. I can't describe it, and we chanced upon it accidentally. I read bout it in some travel guidebook, and i suggested we check it out tho it was only 2 hrs before closing. But I can tell you, that museum is absolutely amazing. You can't even imagine what I'm talking about. You would need 2 WEEKS to see and appreciate the whole place!!! Now that's what I call a real science museum!
