Creationism? Definitely a hoax

So, there seems to be a new sequence of events that seems incredulous, like the fact that I cannot write full 3 page essays on creationism and evolution, and the inevitable creationism versus evolution; the fact that the Eagles (Australia Rules, read: game) lost by 4 and that the Bush administration are all but squandering money not on the hurricane Katrina victims but on weapons and machinery AND troops to be sent to Iraq and some forsaken land of suicide bombers and extremists. So whats all the fuss about creationism? Is it a theory based solely on faith or scientific discoveries? Can I really say that it is a science? First of all, the afore-mentioned questions applied to the sensitivities of the human psyche. How can anyone ever prove God's existence? The simple answer is people just cannot use faith as a reason to prove a supreme creator's existence (see that I do not put a capital to the S and C). To justify this rationality one must get involved with the scope of the conception of the universe's inner workings. Only then can a person grasp the theories of creationism, to their realisation that such theories are conjured by like-minded individuals who do not understand the concept of the universe.

To even convince such people that the world did not come about within a week is to deprive yourself of the many opportunities you would have used to do much more effective work. Sometimes humans have this concept that just because a book revered as a god's revelation meant that its words should be taken with gravity but in fact it is just a book for people to immerse themselves in to past the day. I admit that some of the words hold true the nature of human character and that some of its guidelines to living a fulfilled life could be applied. But what I can never comprehend is the fact that people can just blindly follow a book and interpret it as a no hold barred instructions to wage war or evangelise; to even believe in a part of the ribcage being taken from the "first" man to create the "first" female is absolute gibberish. The fact is that evolution has done its work and the using of natural selection meant that we have both male and female individuals unlike the amoeba which uses mitosis to produce two different individuals (no gender/gender division). It also means that we cannot just come out being created from mud or some god's hand and voila we have a female companion because a god wants to give us some entertainment and pleasure which is indeed a faux pas.

Come to think of it, life aint that bad. The only thing that stops me from being happy is the negative thought instilled in my mind after some bad hair day. And that said i can only assure that my muse is waning. Come BACK PLEASE!!!

Rationality and not indecision

Since the month of August is coming to an end, I would like to include this entry to sum up my thoughts. August to most people is a month of autumn serene and peaceful idleness (please excuse my Romanticised version of autumn), the time where people would fornicate because of the breezy temperature and warm sunlight that penetrate your skin and fill it up with a crazed amount of oestrogen and for us guys a sense of lascivious zealousness. The only time where your pets would not fill the whole house with their "eau de parfum", most courtesy of their obnoxious habits and an inbuilt knowledge of German gas. For me August would always be summer in Singapore and spring in Australia, the ideal time for some loving from my kindred and preparations for a little bit of slackish endeavors. But with time August seems somewhat of a misogynous month, where you just sit around and contemplate the different opportunities opened to you throughout the whole school term. It is just so amazing when you realise that August is always a month that coincide with the mid-term, so it is not all about playing, its about the more serious stuff, examinations. When we see things as it is, sometimes its hard for us to find the underlying truth behind all these events or academic obstacles (read: tests). It is only when we analyse the whole content over and over over again do we see the brighter side of it and do it with a huge amount of efficiency you just cannot believe your eyes. If we kept on doing this would it not be a better place for society as a whole (?). In fact, I reckon that the only reason why we are in a chaotic mess was because of the constant misinterpretation of religious doctrines, theories of human perception and self-improvement books (sorry but if you had noticed, its been around since the time of the Minoan Period, which was indeed a great place of culture before the Greek culture ever materialised). That said, life as a human could not be tougher in some countries for even if its day time the danger of being murdered was evident by the political and social unrests surrounding the country.
If the only thing that I can do is to lobby for or against a social or theoratical decision then I will fork out the time and a never-say-die spirit to strengthen my mentality. Anyway, point is being in a country that promotes democracy and free speech does not mean it entails a better future. Instead, it will corrode your already rotten mind and turn you into a vegetable with a trance-like look on your face. Discrimination abound so do not be surprised by people shoving you aside or even bashing you to add that touch of alienation from the country itself.
My only plan is to actually avoid people with cut-throat rascism. How do you actually do that you would ask. Well, I read people as if they are some lab experiment and then proceed to ascertain the hypothesis by observing how he would react to a person of another race. If there are none then just brush off the thought of getting to know them because I know these people just do not deserve even a tinge of respect, no matter how much they would try to command it nobody would take heed. Rebellion is an inbuilt mechanism that command us to react with a passion the opposite of what we were asked to do, so of course we would not give a damn for that kind of person (read: Loser).
When September comes I would have to rethink the possible activities to be included in my chaotic organiser of my neuro-files. So people I would have to leave on this quiet note.
Shhshssh!!

I am really going to contemplate reading a book and actually concentrating on that main area of my life called studying (plus homework). I chose the book eventually, considering how interesting the read is, with the texture of the cover and other pages I relish the lush richness and finesse of it. I am sure I am going to enjoy this book, the title which is "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and that will lead to subsequent books of interests that I might pick up along the way. Anyway, enough about that book, wait till I finish then can I give a full review of the book.

Sometimes I cannot get my mind off something, which is my friends back home in Singapore, especially Yenn and Hana, like how they are doing and what is going on with their lives. Even with the constant contact through MSN, it does not really help much because I do not know and cannot even meet up with them in person. Their lives in retrospect used to mean alot to me but now it can only be up to a certain level, beyond that of everyday importance, mainly because I am in another country right now. But then it does not really matter for it means we would try all means to remain in close contact and a bond that would not break no matter how much strain is seeping into the friendship. There might be misunderstandings but that will only last for a day or two, depending on the situation if it does not aggravate. I feel lucky that I can express any problems that occur in our friendship probably because we have been opening up to each other and the understanding strengthens into something adamant in nature.

That said, the only regret I can think of that had happened is the sudden decision to actually move to Australia for my further studies and they only got to know about it only a month or two before my departure. I had this reassurance that tells me that if I have the chance to bond and catch up with them it will be during the summer holidays, which will be loads of fun because it is a two month holiday!

To actually assimilate into the Australian way of life is to relax and participate in as many sports as possible, so I guess I have successfully exercise that rule and I can truly say that the art of elation is the best among all the other forms of emotions. Homework is perhaps my weakness, I cannot really sit down and concentrate in doing my work because of the constant distractions around that would receive my immediate attention. But that can really be arranged by using determination and diligence, these two can actually counter-attack the distractions, so I guess I have got the best solutions to my own problem. With that in check, what can go wrong? I just hope my plans for being pliant in my time-management would allow me to soar to greater heights in academia. Anyway, it is really good that the obligations I have can have a positive role in my life.

What can I really determine is the value of the word time-management.

Ok, I just do not want to know anymore, this torturous siege is stalling me and confusing my already bruised ego. To think ye still have the cheek of even calling me with the rejection I must breeze through like nothing has happened. If ye ask me I just do not know why the attempt at making a fool out of me and then hysterical with a sudden outburst of calls and messages, is this a way of testing my inner strength or is it a practical joke aimed at tormenting my already tired soul. If this is what ye want then I ask for at least the respect I deserve and the credibility for making the effort and mustering a huge amount of almost-forgotten courage to ask ye out or just give me a break and give me a chance for expressing my deepest regard for a relationship. If neither works out then I am satisfied to remain anonymous and us as strangers for the better part of our teenage life or be just acquiantances if the request for friendship is accepted. I for once do not lose out and ye can just happily be the family-oriented, hardworking and diligent person like ye always are. I do not want to contemplate failure or lose for those two are minor and insignificant. If ye stay true to yer feelings then I would not even squirm or make a din and my compliance to yer rights are forevermore enforced. I have said my piece and albeit short, comes from the deepest part of my heart which is of course my soul. I do wish ye the best decision ye make with success and future endeavours fruitful.

I do not wish to repeat the mistake of asking someone out and not being returned the honour, for I have learnt that no matter how hard I have tried, the best that I can hope for is for the appreciation and love of a girl I have set eyes on. This in mind, I am going to concentrate fully on the opportunity my parents had given me from the day I was born, which is education and now education abroad. I can never thank them enough for though their role are not that influential, they have played a crucial role in making me understand the Tao of Human perceptions and behaviour. In my formative years the advice my parents gave and mistakes pointed out have made me who I am today, for without them I would not have known the dark side of human overtures and the lessons remembered my infrastructure. Even though I have my ups and downs and somehow some part of them have affected my parents, they did not conplain for they know that I can stand on my own two feet and though that might sound too risque but it is testimony to the individual I have myself to believe. I shall dedicate this latter part of my blog
to my lovely parents, sweet and contemporary as ever.

I LOVE MOM AND POP FOREVER AND FILIAL PIETY BE A PART OF MY CAUSE!

Ambiguity or just plain bullshit

The reasons for trying to act as busy as possible is to showcase my intolerance to a particular individual, or so the story goes like this. How I actually get to know that girl is a mystery among sarcastic vandalism and the whatnots, the only good part of her identity is when she is not bugging me and bombarding my room (sans the over-friendly gesture). She is garrulous, uncouth and loud-mouth, she is the equivalent of Donkey of Shrek the movie (Ok, so I believe that Donkey is way better) reading a Sunday Heralds. The only time I can read a book and go online while having a drink on a peaceful day is when girl F (only to protect her identity) is not around beckoning me to watch a movie and/or eating my chocolates (of course I do not mind giving sweet treats to my friends but this? *groans and uttter exasperation*). And I have only known her for a couple of days!

Meeting this person could be the error of a lifetime but it is not that I hate her or discriminate against her colour (read race) but sometimes this kind of person can only deteriorate yer moral and living standards. The only thing ye can do is to get rid of this person or actually tell them that the way they are behaving is just like the primetime television program about some teenagers (especially the clingy ones) ye see on sunday or reprimand them without the slightest of sympathy for them at all! If they still do not listen then get ready yer running shoes because ye life from then on will be an endless course for torment and leech sucking (urgh, just do not get too close to me). Other than that, if the sophomore effort of yers work, then the ever peaceful paradise of calmness and goodwill will hang out like there is no tomorrow (pardon me for the pun). Send me an email, congratulate yerself, enjoy life and organise a party with a few friends and enjoy the freedom that abounds.

***********************************************************************************

If the only thing that could be worst is the rejecting of a love because the crushing of egos can be brutal and fatal. If just because of that they cannot accept no matter how much ye try to ameliorate or change, then forget about them. I just want to forget that person once and for all, stay as friends or whatsoever, as long as my love for her dies out. Even if reality sets in, I would just move on and give the afore-mentioned event without even a second thought because the past is a fragment of my memory, without definitely any significance but just an in-yer-face warning so that I would not suscept to this kind of adversity. Anyway, the future definitely comes with the uncertainty and I am ready without any doubt of the fishes in the water.

So now it comes to me saying farewell to that past and live with zest the obstacles that is to either baffle or soften me physically and mentally.

Anyway, what is the hurry?

This is so vague

This is getting so obscure, like everyone I know cannot see, probably only the few with the worldly views and eagled eye enough to spot the difference. It seems that the only time I really get to read is the night (excluding daily visits to torment unsuspecting people, nah I aint like that.) The rationale is that the world is changing, but for how long? I thought that the Age of Aquarius has arrived, or should I say it has been around for actually 4 years and the progress I seek to uncover is dismal in effort. That is to say the ostentious can only wait to slip into a coma and die of ignorance. Why, when we said that new "age" has arrived but the catalysts causing the amelioration can only prove that sometimes humans are blind to the ebb and flow of the cycle and series of events all around us or for that matter the only change people can muster is a change to their pathetic ego. The only time when I have seen a change was approximately one year ago I guess, when the Singaporean Government are changing some of the national aspects like the National Service, which is reduced to two years and the allowance for an even bigger amount of freedom for us citizens is concentrated on. All these afore-mentioned things just stop there, and to aggravate an already irritated me, no news of reforms nor changing social demands and norms whatsoever. I think I will have to wait for some of the news but all are not big enough, like a new idea sweeping across the globe. Reassurance can only be a mistake, so I will have to assuage my standards on this Age of Aquarius then.

What to even anticipate is the social structure and reforms about to be experienced on a global level, the only labile to ever suffice can be the entities present in countries, especially the Middle East, no matter where the extremists and fanatics go, a trail of devilish scent can be sniffed or even seen, perhaps even the word devilish can be form of euphemism and they will decrease in number as sudden as winter becoming summer in one day. So, I can only wait and see then, justifiably I must know about the big events, those that impact on the masses. The nostalgia can only be tamed with the forthcoming events.

Collision of the great minds (Doesn't necessarily meant the contents)

I would like to say that the recent improvements in Singapore of the Art scene and other social aspects of Singaporean mindsets are positive to raise Singapore to be a more globally accepted nation but that can only prove the strict and abominable aspect of the Singapore government, that is the conservative views they sought to instill in the masses are still noticeably with the every step they had tried to censor films of political and social themes that might affect the young and the "patriotic" people of Singapore. The art scene has a far worst impact from the conservative mindset. Artworks portraying nude people kissing or just standing by a lake with swans and water lilies were considered tasteless and people would rather be languid to these artworks than fanatics of a certain monotheistic religion who would then call on a jihad to exterminate the population and "infidels".

That said, society is one of contradictions, its demands and norms normally directed by a government are fast becoming the jobs of the media, which has to some effect, been monitored or influenced by the said government. If this persist, it will be a a catastrophe sat up by its own jurisdication. To actually counter this form of unnecessary trouble, we must eradicate the contradictions present in the media, especially the newspapers (and to a small effect, magazines). But how are we to even start on this when the many theories that people have contributed leads to the societal demands and norms presented by the media? So what we must do is to leave it as it is, for even if I seem to be contradicting myself that cannot be helped anyway. Thats human nature.

In line for the reopening of the school for semester two and term three the begin, I have made myself comfortable with the idea that as time goes by, I would be deemed useless if I don't start a fitness regime of my own, a set of hobbies to curb with my urge to splurge in the city on cafes and fastfoods, a way of contemplating the existence of my life and to set goals for the course in University that I want to get in (I could have changed my mind for the umpteenth time but that does not matter, what matters is the fact that I want to get into Macquarie U, or if possible, to an American U of a prestigious merit.). These and including the things from my last entry, shall give me the every motivation and time to work on it. My only worry is that school would get in the way, that I think I can reassure myself with proper time management (get me an organiser! Oh, I remembered I've got two! Haha!). So there, I have got no problems nor any obstructions!

Anyway, I am feeling nostalgic and uber euphoric because it is orientation tomorrow and that means I will be getting my new timetable and get to mingle with the new students or people who I have not seen for a long time. The fact that a wider range and more specific subjects like Economics, History, Applicable Maths etc... had been offered and accept for me is like a dream come true. Of course not to forget that with a new term my objectives is clear and that I should study, work hard and keep the creative juices flowing. I am more than happy to congratulate myself for all the ideas that I had come up with, wait till I did all that and see me relinquish my hold on the school! *Evil smirk* *Jack regained his confidence and throne*

Okok people, with that said wish me all the best alright! Thank you! Till then stay tune to my next ranting!

So, the time for a change of the themes for my blog. I am 17 and I want to change the layout and the things that might look at if I am 14 year old male blogger looking for immature and crude fun plus the occasional I-am-acting-so-gangsterish-my-cock-is-gonna-poke-yer-thing (get the V word?) entries the seems to please all those pre-adolescent youngsters who thought that they should be cool and write about the gibberish their pathetic lives go through sometimes, or even occasional, depending on whether they are on holidays or "punking" someone. Maturity should be a theme that is emphasised. The sanguine part of me shall be exhibited at any chance! My main motive now is to design a new background and a better layout that showcase my ability in the creative arts (who says a high school student who is lousy at art cannot design?). That said, what is left is the motivation to outcast the irreverant and do it! With school reopening on Tuesday the 19th (Monday is the allocation of subjects with timetable), my time to do this will be limited and that will cause me to feel agitated (don't worry I won't abandon it in despair). So the list includes:
1) New Layout
2) New Title
3) New Background
4) Do away with some stuff
5) Include a comprehensive list of links and new stuff
6) Change anything that should be labiled

So there, may the amelioration process begins!!

This is a lame title

So y'all call me a lazy, narcissistic, arse-crack of a blogger. But what can I do? I cannot just change my way of writing the peaks and quirks of my excessive time wasting life. All I can say is that airing my views about everything from politics to sexuality is justifiable and do not need license, neither shall people's judgement force me to unwind the secrets of my life or even shut me up. Anyway, so life has been a dull one since last week and I really want to go to the city to have some fun, the typical teenager kind. I am elated and ecstatic about going for lunch tomorrow with Yang(yes, and she is from China) and maybe a few more people. So I would have to wake up at about 9 a.m. Lol! Anyway, so the anomality of some things actually baffles me, like, for example, when ye are called immatured by some people and when ye tried to counter them with a negative attribute of their character, they just brush it off and leave ye standing there like an idiot. This might seem normal but to the individual it pose a more complicated problem emotionally and mentally. The only way to actually curb this is to exercise restrain and try to change.

Sorry but this is a really short entry. Cya folks (explained stupidity)

I am back from five days of fun-filled adventures and bonding. Or was it since yesterday? Yup it is. Hmm, where should I start. Yeah, the five days were short but cleared up some past misgivings. And yesterday was the farewell to them. It was all good fun, but the emotions surged through the air like never before felt. I was almost choked by it, to the point of crying. It has happened before and it aint a good thing to do, luckily I maintained my composure and my joy preceded the feeling of loneliness with the hugs and kisses flying around, not to forget the photo-taking outside my "house". The feeling was mixed, like rojak (a kind of Malay dish that has a mish-mash of fruits, vegetables and sometimes meat). But I am so used to it that it became second nature anyway, so there.

Yesterday went to watch Batman Begins, its kinda cool but does not really appeal to me, the action scenes rocks but the story line is mediocre, like the director and producers does not have the falir for their allocated jobs anyway.

Well, today I was slacking as usual, supposed to meet someone but in the end I did not go because he cannot make it and my laziness dominated me for a good five hours before I muster up all my mental and physical strength to wash the dishes. Called PJ whether the BBQ will be taking place and she said it will be on tomorrow, but then midway she told me she will call me back, but up till now I have not received that phone call, hope she did not entirely forgot about that whole deal. Was kinda pissed when I called someone from the Net but was not sober enough to talk to him, like my mind went into a total blank. Anyway, I am gonna sleep because the brain works in a labile way and I have to meet up with some friends in the city (Perth Metropolitan).

Last but not least I would like to extent my heartfelt joy and goodwill to my brother who will be the first son of the Philip Ang Clan to be enlisted into the army tomorrow morning (friday the 7th!) and hope those officers won't treat him badly and those privates I am watching ye!!!
Cya peeps...Nighty nights

Hmm...to start with, life is nothing but a bitch! Heard that before? Well, chances are, if ye are to believe, its 100% true. Why am I saying that? Because if ye are in a country with 5 degrees celsius and below weather, stupid room that aint cosy, housemates who sleeps at 1 am in the morning and cooking in the wee hours of the night, well, ye got my idea. Simplifying this would be a waste of time, perhaps ye would like to read this over a cup of coffee. Of course I aint making any sense. Well, back to that topic. The times I spent in my room is equivalent to shearing a sheep with nothing on yer mind. So that means I aint thinking nor doing anything productive. Lol...My parents and elder brother are coming to Perth in two weeks! OMG!! I`m getting ready for 5 days of bonding and hugging and kissing and disillusions...lol
Hohoho...I`m ready to go...ciaoz...

I underestimated ye, I trusted ye so damn much. I have officially been made a fool or myself one. Why did ye did this to me, I dun want that, for I have put my heart into loving this great buddy. I have failed, truly the only thing that would complement would be a bucket of alcohol. I wanna poison myself, blood poisoning that is. The severity of yer actions had left me broken. Now ye called me yer "friend", or for that matter none at all. Am I doomed to have failed friendships? Am I suppose to put on a t-shirt printed with a "Loser" on it? Or a headband that says I am a failure for life? Dun make me do drastic stuff, I can and will. My broken heart extends to infinity. Can ye mend this broken heart? All these facets are just fake after all. I aint happy. Now ye had destroyed my will to accomdate this world. Do ye wanna be the next? Am I the catalyst to yer suffering? Do ye want more? My blood for sacrificial purpose? My flesh to spice up the atmosphere? My breath to cleanse? So be it. Ye said ye could be sensitive, what about me? Ye wanna turn me into someone who distrust even the purpose of my existence? What didja said yesterday? About not forgetting me and I`ll remain in yer Messenger for conversational purposes. I have said my piece. My feelings justified. I definitely have not left ye out. Even if I replied in short that doesnt mean I had lost interests in ye. Ye have my every support, a pillar out of pillars to keep the foundation in place. I am at a loss....

Hey people, back from that long of a break, yep its been more than a month since I`ve blogged, but its definitely no surprise that I`ve got a blog on Friendster too. Hmm, now to get straight to the point, a woman full of anguish, frustration, despondency and utter desperation. She is Schapel Corby, the woman now on trial for possession of drugs. Thousands or even millions have heard about her case, sympathetical of the inflicted torture on her tired soul, which was traduced to bouts of uneasy silence. Just one sentence could ruin her future. Yes, those Indonesian judges have no brains and hearts to start with. They could probably be corrupted and to achieve a form of stardom most often called shamely publicity or infamy if ye like. After months of being in the Keroboken prison and number of pleas to no avail, I want to reach out to Schapel. She could be at her wits end, but upon hearing about the recent criticism, slamming and accusations hurled at the judges, I felt relieved. Media power these days can possibly thwart even the most antagonistic plans on Earth! I do hope Schapel Corby be acquitted of those allegations and be free of such pain and suffering.

So there people, help Schapel and her family, pray for her, just do yer part alright? Such injustice should not go unnoticed, open that iron heart and feel her fading soul, have some empathy aiigh? Cya folks!

I have to admit, i`ve gotta wake up at six tml, go beach, do some last minute photo taking then going to the airport for my flight back to singapore! Yes, singapore, i dun really miss it but i`ll be eating lotsa hokkien fried noodles and stuff like that, yup, lazy to elaborate. Hmm, it`ll be cool hanging out with my family and friends, see how things have changed eh? Time past in one blink of an eye, such is the acceleration, from the time i got to perth, it flies, so I`m gonna make full use of the 10 days or so to catch up, hook up and gather. Heheh~ Argh, lazy...gotta go get some batteries supercharged yea? Cya, Guen Nacht, Traum Suss.

Okok, so here`s the stuff: Today, i went to school as usual, though its exceptionally colder than yesterday, I still love it. Mad props to the divine, especially Thor. *smiles*
After school, erm, well, that was it!! Yup, went to the supermarket to get some goods with Sarah, Penny, Ash and Lisa. I was laughing all the way, because Ash kept teasing everyone, especially Lisa. Yup, she is the victim of verba and physical torture, literally. Lol. After the shopping, while in the car, Ash kept manoeuvring the vehicle, to Lisa`s shock. She kept screaming away like there`s a fire or something. Anyway, back here typing this lil blog. Can`t believe it, and I`ll list down a few of my to-dos for this year:

1) hook up with some bboys here to learn all my moves again
2) get all the Ripcurl and Quiksilver accessories to complete my "new me"(Okok, its crap)
3) Score and do the best I can within my abilities to achieve a good standing in Year 11(Tuart College)
4) get to Macquarie University with the courses I want!(Double degrees)

So I guess thats all then, cya folks, peace outz!!!

Hmm...sands on my feet the whole afternoon, went to the beach with Michael, yep, he`s cool, he surfs! I`ll make sure I take every chance to learn this skill. Heheh! Yeah, so erm, sorry, didnt blog for the last few weeks, was lazy with no inspiration to blog, lol... I will be going back to Singapore in April! Woohoo! All the Char Kwey teows, Hokkien Fried noodles, Hokkien prawn noodles(soup of course) heheh...

Sorry guys for the lack of updates, its either I do not have time for it or there were sopme complications. To start off, I had moved from my homestay to the Tuart Mews, where independence, responsibilities and freedom are offered. My homestay "mother" was actually stressed by alot of stuff, all related to me in a way or another. She was stressed with late payments from me to her, about whether I`ve done my homework, about me going out at night and coming home late, etc... Pissed off, sad, angry, frustrated were all I have felt on Monday, its like severe depression had crept on me and the prospect of moving out excited me! Sometimes I feel that having such sudden change of location and environment either frightens or excites me. Anyway, I have not got my ATM card from the bank. It have been like so long, about 4 weeks already? I kept enquiring about it and they said they have sent it already, I am so tired of asking! Just today I asked Ann, the International Student Office representative whether she had already received it, I told her to look for it thoroughly, after which she said she couldn`t find it. She then told me she will arrange a fax to the Bank. Damn it! I need my money, my convenience, my time, blah blah blah... Argh! Till the frustraion cooled off shall I write again, cya then! Auf wiedersehen!
