Hi there!

I started playing Go on 17 July 2003, but I don't play regularly. I've only taken part in a few tourneys up to now (Essen (D), Bonn (D), Hannover (D) and Lille (F)), however, that was really a lot of fun ;) Btw, that's me: [ext] Essen2005

You wonder perhaps, why I started playing Go ;) Responsible for this is Zwarn, who is now my sensei!

If someone wants to e-mail me, go ahead ;) celila@gmx.de

Je parle un peu de français - peut-être vous voulez parler avec moi? Alors je pourrai devenir meilleure. ;)

Have fun,

Celila

Last Saturday I took the ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam and arrived in good old Germany on Sunday. I haven't decided yet what I'm going to do with my studies in the UK, so I haven't changed the text above, but I feel like a failure because I don't know enough French to pass the exams in Newcastle and I'd put myself under too much pressure trying to pass - which really is impossible. So I'd only burn myself out until next summer and this would endanger my final exams in Cologne in 2006. Of course they are more important, so this is the reason why I'm back in Germany at the moment. I haven't told my University in Cologne yet - I wonder what they'll say - and the University in Newcastle still thinks I'll attend classes on Tuesday (we have a reading week at the moment, so no one misses me). At least they know that I don't want to finish my degree or don't want to try to finish it - but they don't want to accept my decision. Anyway, being home again is great ;) The future will have to wait a while ^^

I just checked my e-mail account from the University in Newcastle. One of my profs wrote an e-mail last Tuesday, he'd like to talk to me as soon as it is convenient regarding my studies. OK, now they miss me... I haven't answered yet and I don't know when I'll return to Newcastle. Officially I'm still there ... hm, but it's weekend now, I'll think about it on Monday. ^^

University, goodbye! I was offered a very interesting job and so I decided to earn some money. Starting 1 December 2004 I'm not a student anymore. With mixed feelings I leave the University of Applied Sciences in Cologne and Northumbria University in Newcastle, but I thinks it's the best I can do at the moment ;) World of work here I come (again)!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Two days ago I received a wonderful Christmas present. It was a letter from my University in Germany telling me that I have to pay back the grant because I didn't stay in England for 3 months (or more). Great!

Since today I have a tartrate number of 3 ;)
tartrate -> TheCaptain -> birdie -> Celila
birdie is in Berlin for some weeks and I played him and won! 9h though ... Who knows, one day I hope to beat him in an even game ;)

Three weeks ago I started playing again. I still don't play much, but at least I play and it enjoy it again. For two days I've been in bed with flu. A laptop is a great invention ;) Still, I'd rather be healthy and at work, my head nearly explodes ... That reminds me, I tried playing a game yesterday, but gave up after a few moves. I guess the brain goes on holiday when the flu moves in ;)

Funny thing to spend the first few minutes of your birthday on kgs ;) Thank you all for your wishes ^^ hm... have you ever noticed? perhaps not, but I don't feel different after turning a year older... which would mean I still feel like ... hm... 12? ok ... not really ^^ but I guess, I still get myself into mischief ... like I did when I was 12 ;D

I've been to London for 4 days and some funny things happened there:
- Especially funny for Germans: My hubby and I were on our way from the hotel to the city center when we passed some posters ... and I didn't notice them at first... only the words "Uni-Halle" ... and I thought: "Wait a minute... that's German!" So I dragged Rob back to the posters and really... in the middle of London there were posters for a concert from a turkish singer taking place in Wuppertal!!! And it didn't even say Wuppertal, Germany, on the posters... does this mean Wuppertal is a cosmopolitan city now??
- The other funny thing happened in a KFC, I think it was at Leicester Square. We were eating and it was noisy as usual.. when suddenly someone started to sing one of the Naruto end titles ... !!!! Hello!! In the middle of London, in a KFC, a Naruto song ... we couldn't stop laughing and I couldn't get this song out of my head all day long.
- Hehe, I just remembered something else.. I should have taken a photo, but I had forgotten my camera in the hotel: There was a japanese take-away, or asian at least, I think they also served chinese food. And the walls were decorated with Manga-pics. It was a really colorful little place ;)
A yes, let's not forget why we went to London:
Star Wars Episode III ... nice one ;) especially the music!! John Williams really connected the new movies with the old ones here *sigh* only thing I don't like is the fact that.. oh, I can't tell that here... let's discuss it when more ppl have seen the movie ;)
Join the Mos Eisley Cantina (under social) if you want to talk about both trilogies or just want to meet nice ppl ;)

Yesterday I played the most interesting game up to now ... it was really much fun and a lot of reading! I played erc in a simul game with 9h ... and I almost pounded him into dogmeat!!! He admitted in the review that he should have lost this game ... but as usual (and of course one of the reasons why I'm in The Stupid Room) I played some silly moves in the end and instead of winning with 50+, I had to resign. Anyway, thanks again erc ;) I think I'm going to play more games ;D
And to all those kibitzers ^^ wasn't there a more interesting game to kibitz than this one? ;)

Yes, I haven't written in a while ... uhm... and I'm only writing to explain why I'm leaving KGS. You can regard it as a time out or cold turkey ... it wasn't anyone's fault. No one annoyed me or abused me or anything. It's just my decision. I think I spent way too much time on KGS (some ppl might say, hey, where's the problem, I'm doing the same). Yes, I know, I'm not the only addict here ... but that doesn't mean it's ok. So, here I am, trying to spend much more time in my real life, sorting out some things for university (because I'm going to resume my studies in October), studying a bit for the first exam at the end of September, spending much more time with my hubby ;) and answering e-mails from everyone who wants to write!
e-mail address: celila@gmx.de
I hope I'll be able to spend a "healthy" amount of time on KGS when (yes, I don't think I can stay away from KGS forever ;) ...) I'm back. At the moment I'm only at home and I don't really see any reason to log out, which means I was spending more or less 24/7 minus sleep on KGS. Can't be good ;) In October I'll have to do a lot of work ... in January I will write my first few final exams for my university degree (lots of translations) and in July the same. I hope I can come back for some hours a week ;) and really log out when I should ... hehe.
All the best to all of you ;) and I hope I'll get some e-mails ;) Thanks for a great time!

I'm back! And only after 10 days ...
I'm sure some of you expected this ;) I couldn't stay away for long. But I made some changes: I left almost all rooms - I'm sorry if I have offended someone by doing so, but I finally found some time to play. (No, not really with this account, but I do have some other accounts.) If you have problems with users on KGS or you want to talk to me about something, you can still message me. It's just that I don't have the time to really pay attention to everyhing that happens in the rooms that I was in before I left.
So again, all this has nothing to do with anyone on KGS, I just have to cut back a little bit ;)
See you around! And thank you for your e-mails!

Hi again ;)
I'm back at university, studying translation (English and French), so I won't be here as much as I was in the last few months. I really enjoy working with languages again, translating texts etc *happy* and I'm playing some games now and then! my rank is ~12k ... sorry to everyone who asked for a game and I had to refuse. At the moment I concentrate on my studies and I'm often tired when I'm on KGS, since I'm on the train/bus almost 4 hours every day.
See you on KGS ;)
PS: you can also find me on Skype ... if I'm at my laptop, i'm on skype ... user id: Celila ... if you ask for authorization to see when i'm online, please add your KGS nickname ^^ i just get too many requests every day and refuse them all, if i don't know the person.

  • Bashan: Hi Celila! What does your nick mean?
Celila: It has no meaning for all I know. ^^ I made it up in 1999, and three months ago, I found out that it is a real name! That was kind of weird ;)
  • YouCantWin- Heya celila ;-)
Celila: hiya ycw !!

Celila: I hope you enjoyed it ;)

  • movado: Hi! Thats for recommending "The Girl Who Played GO" by Shan Sa! Too sad maybe I shouldn't have picked it up.
Celila: *sigh* I warned you that it is very very sad =( It is a short book, but you have to think about it for a long time after reading it.
Celila: hey woody *waves back*
  • Rutabaga: Wow, you HAVE updated this! Hope all's well.
Celila: yes ^^ all is well ;) i hope you are fine too! Hope to see you soon again on KGS ...
  • Launchpad: Ya know, if I was any good at go, I would take down TSC by myself! So, since I can't do that, I'll just say hi. hihi celi!
Celila: hi launchpad ^^ and you know, we might not have the most games or wins, but TSC prefers Quality ... not Quantity ;D
