It started after Thorben helped me moved to my new apartment and we had brunch at Penta Hotel and two weeks after that it will be his birthday on 7th of April and he made RSVP for 14 people. His bday fall on Qingming Holiday even though some people will travelling away but 14 people should be easy to reach considering that I don’t think anybody want to miss his bday 😉 I mean…why would them?
Then… I think I get used to unlimited list going on and on and on haha another wechat group of 5 people started and the list was for 14 people. So optimistic that he will make 14 out of 5 people 😉 but then this list getting long and longer through the following days. Ben said that he need to reserve the whole place of Penta Hotel instead of a long table. Up until this list blew up for 30+ people and Ben wasn’t so sure if Penta Hotel has chairs for all of us, but then Thorben said “knowing all of you, it will be like this sooner or later so no chair needed”
And the day arrived! He booked 3 big tables for all of us and we all had chairs 😉 It was all you can eat buffet with no time limits! And to make it better we can also order one additional dish! Penta Hotel is the best!
I was so happy that Stefan brought his son- Nemuun! Look at this cutie! He was just there, eating quietly but at some point he got bored and I tried to talk to him, apparently he doesn’t really want to talk to me mwahaha however I didn’t give up, considering that I already invested my Saturday and Sunday for 2 months in Goethe Institute, I need to speak to him in German! And the result was….it didn’t really work mwahaha but in the end we still managed to play 4 in a row and dopple card game and he was really good on it!
Focus on the kid please 
Yep see the kid!
After some time, he wanted to play with his star wars game ALONE! I got rejected! Huaaaa Nemuun 🙁
It was a lot of fun with many new stories, one of them is Giorgio’s “haunted” apartment wuuuuuu it’s getting spooky! Against all odds, nobody want to be his neighbor so he has a whole floor of apartment by himself which is pretty cool for partying but there must be a reason why nobody want to rent it out which is……
Let’s just moving on to something funny when 1 hour of labor turned to 5 hours of labor and 1 person turned to 6 people hahahaha! Yep, Ben and Luis also moved to a new apartment and Thorben said that my stuff is only 1/10 from their stuff! Yes! I don’t have that much stuff then 😉
Another funny moment was when Nicole tried to take a thousand pictures of her 😉 I was talking with Ivy and I heard Nicole said “take another one, again and again” haha such a job to take your picture! Hahaha Here’s finally her picture, thanks to Julia and Michelle that patiently that took it 😉
The… 
Photographer… 
Involved… 
For Her!
Ivy and I also had a good selfie! I was either eating sth or looking somewhere when I heard my name being called “Marlyn” and I know it’s selfie time! Haha
Yep I was eating 
Cleaned up the desert!
Moving on to Tim, he looks so elegant in his shorts and shirts, he can pull it off with just a simple shirt no wonder he’s a news anchor, therefore I need to say hi to him but either I was too excited or it just need to happen, I spilled the water to his shorts, he was on his phone and he said “bitch” so I feel (read: not really) bad 😉 I need to remind him that it could be worse, it could be a bloody mary, but since I don’t drink so……. It’s only water and it won’t leave stain, well it shouldn’t happened on the first place but it did haha
I think we were there until….3PM ish and before we walked to Zhongshan park which is only at the corner. That day was perfect, weather is really well cooperate with us, sunny and just nice!
Ben insisted of asking Luis to buy him Frisbee but since Thorben remembered that he has Frisbee so he didn’t let Ben or Luis brought it, in the end he borrowed Frisbee from somewhere and they played it for quite some time 😉 sooo think we owed Ben a “thank you” 😉
Then up until Marina said “let’s make a circle!” and here we are!
As if Thorben could predicted already, no chairs needed! And it’s not so much different from what he expected and reality 😉
Happy happy happy birthday to you Thorben! I’m so glad I can call you my brother, thank you for joining the Spartan exercise last year where I first met you (even though none of us did or will do the real Spartan haha), thank you for all the world cup game that we watched, thank you for all the steak and other food that you cooked for me and the list of thanks to you going on and on and on. There is no words can describe how I genuinely glad that I know you and simply put, you deserve all the best!
P.S: this is not some shitty lame bday wish like when you don’t know what to write to that bday person and just write “wish you all the best” hahaha biatch please 😉
