Moody December

Year 2009 is coming to a close soon. That means it's time to pick up the pace and try to finish whatever that is needed to be done, be it Project or preparing 4 exams. Christmas is now like a deadline 4 me. Everything needs to be done b4 that. Sigh, stress~~

Im supposed to be preparing 4 my interview on Tues with Porsche. However, my mind seems to be in a blank. Not sure what to do to prepare for this interview. Browsed through the Porsche Website, took down some notes. It's rily boring... Having got the internship position with Continental means I have room for failure now. I can screw up this interview and still do my internship next sem. With this thought in mind, complacency creeps in. Like leading 1-0 in a football match. I have watched football long enough to know the consequence of being complacent. I guess I will have to go through those frequently asked questions again, like why am I studying in germany, why did I choose Porsche as my company to do my internship, etc...

Speaking about football, I nearly fell asleep watching Arsenal playing against Stoke just now. Watching Arsenal nowadays after Robin Van Persie got injured can be frustrating and sickening. Like a toothless tiger, Arsenal try to attack with either Eduardo or Vela, 2 of the most lightweight strikers in the EPL. Whenever the ball is passed forward, they lose it immediately to a bigger size defender. The same routine goes on and on for the whole match. Chelsea and Man City won their matches easily since they knew that our strikers pose no threat at all and can defend with ease. With that leaky defence and toothless attack, losing those matches were inevitable. And now, the whole team looks lifeless. Arshavin and Fabregas played poorly. Arsenal looked like a title winning candidate b4 the world cup qualifiers. After that, they played like a team from mid table, all thanks to an injury sustained during a FRIENDLY game.

Thanks to internet radio, my name was mentioned in YES 933 fm from singapore. I was chatting in their chatroom and mentioned dat I was from Germany. Who knows Zhou Chong Qing, the DJ dat time, saw my msg. "很感谢我们的 online radio，让在国外的朋友也能够听到我们的声音，今天我们就有朋友来自香港，台湾和德国！！Dann0910 from Germany!" wow... first time on air... haha...

Alright, time to cook dinner... What shud I cook then? hmmm.....

Autumn

My mum said she wanted to see how autumn looks like. So here are some pictures taken directly from my window. My photography skills are not worth mentioning, so just make do with it lah...

*The trees are all now "botak". And winter is coming. Will get to see snow soon.

Math

project vs exam

Depart from house when the sky is still dark, return home after the sun sets. Well, dats my routine 4 the past few weeks. 4th sem is indeed scary. Im still surviving, dun worry.

Here r some pics from my project. The model of an aircraft flap in the wind tunnel:



Besides this project, we got another construction project. Create a torchlight which operates without battery. Means using chemical energy from our bodies. u all know la, those torchlights which produces light when we shake it or squeeze it. Our task is to cr8 something similar which is not on the market. Not easy.

Having so many projects means we have very less free time compared to previous semesters. Whenever there's a free period, we will use it to do our project, unlike last time when we can use the free time to go drink coffee or go bek home n sleep. But thank God many projects = less exam. But isit a good thing? I dunno...

To u know who u r, having exams can be rily frustrating n tiring. But having lotsa projects has the same effect as well. U do ur exam, I do my project, we both gambateh ba! Im sure we can do it! n sleep more ya... less sleep = bigger eyebags. =)

Start of new sem

Oh yeah, the title says it all. My 4th semester, one of the busiest semester in Mechanical engineering in Esslingen. Many group projects and many 7.30 am lectures. 7.30 am lectures are 4 me the greatest challenge. Imagine going to bed late, have to wake up at 6.30 am, the outside temperature is less than 10 degrees Celsius, my warm n cosy blanket 25 Degrees, the sun still nowhere to be seen, etc etc... I tell u, the temptation to remain in bed n sleep 4 another hour can be irresistible at times!

Oh well, hope I can survive this new semester though. Needs lotsa strength n stamina since classes start from 7.30 to 5-6pm. *yawn*

Just got the topic 4 our group project. Testing of the wings of an aircraft (aerodynamics). The part is circled in red as shown below:

But of cos we are not doing tests on Boeing or Airbus (we r not experts yet), just some small jet that the students in the university have built together with some companies. Anyway, it shud be something interesting. Too bad that we dint managed to get our 1st choice project: testing of carbon dioxide as cooling agent in the large hadron collider in CERN, switzerland. That's the world's largest particle accelerator! Anyway, I shud be satisfied with wat i got. No complains!

Attended the wedding of my flatmate last saturday. Im rily happy to see him getting married. From the moment the bride entered the church, he cant stop shedding tears of joy! I dunno if I would do the same in future. It was so touching. I was his "best man" that day, responsible for leading the bridal march with a candle in my hand to light the remaining candles on the altar. I also sang on the stage at night during the wedding dinner. 月亮代表我的心， since it was also mid-autumn festival dat day.

Dats all 4 today, will try to upload some pics from the wedding asap. Till then, ciao~~

update update

Still in holiday mode, my blog as well. So sorry 4 the late update.

Weather in Germany is getting colder as autumn is slowly arriving. That means my holiday is gonna come to an end soon. awhhh... sad... I have also started working this week after taking a few weeks off 4 holidays. No choice, gotta earn back those spent money. =(

Have to say that im very satisfied with my last semester. Despite spending more time doing the tutor job and also working part time, my results were fine. Passed all subjects. Eventhough not all with flying colours, but im still satisfied with it. Thank God 4 that~! Hope to do even better next sem.

It has been a year since I last tried nasi lemak, bak kut teh, laksa, etc etc. Whenever I view my fren's blogs (those who went bek to Msia in summer), my tummy will start to growl. "Another 6 months to go", I tell myself... Another 6 months....

Curi-ed this photo from my fren. This girl is rily cute, right? If my future daughter looks like this, awhhhh... how sweet....~! looks like me onot? haha...

Venice trip

Im finally bek at home in Esslingen after a long 2 weeks trip in Italy. We stayed in a caravan, ate lotsa pizzas, became tanned and killed lotsa mosquitoes (my 1st time encountering mosquitoes in europe). Overall, it was a totally different experience compared to my previous trips. This trip was all about relaxing, not rushing around to get glimpses of as many cities as possible.


We travelled to Venice all the way from Stuttgart. In total around 850km crossing switzerland as well. This was the pic taken in Switzerland near Zurich. Beautiful scenery.

A splendid view of the alps during summer.

Venice:

The famous gondola of Venice. A romantic experience for couples. Too bad that i am still single.

The gang of four in Venice



The reason for my super tanned skin. We swam a lot as well since the camping site we stayed was situated near the beach. And i saw n touched a dead jellyfish... geli...

Marketplace. Very similar to Msian pasar malam where one can find many cheap stuffs, fake football jerseys included. (The one im wearing is not fake!)

Still got plenty of pictures but too lazy to upload... Got to start work on monday again... sigh... oh well, dat's life, right?

Ciao, Venezia~!

The talent-less me

Wanted to do this 4 a long time... but too bad that im not gifted in music... im only good at posing.... oh well, better than nothing, right?

Rain pouring down outside... makes me wanna drift away into dreamland... but I cant... Venice is waiting...

Will Venice be still as romantic as claimed by many people eventhough im not with the one I love? will find out soon...

Wedding in Germany~!

Straightaway after 2 weeks of hectic exams, the wedding bells came ringing. Steffen, our church leader of Hope Stuttgart, finally marries Ulli from Hope Berlin after years of relationship. Their wedding is my first wedding that I get to witness here in Germany. There are lotsa differences between an asian wedding and a western one. But both are sweet and romantic. (Too bad that there was no Yamseng...)

The wedding couple! German loves outdoors, so their wedding have to be outdoors as well, stg that we Malaysians will never do due to the hot weather. The wedding took place at a weinberg (wine hill), where the grape plantations are. The garden there was simply lovely with all sorts of flowers blooming.
The flowergirls. When the couple leaves the garden, they were in front of them throwing flower petals on the floor, cute right?

Guess wat they want?

Yup... Balloons... and lots of them too... too bad no ang pows 4 them 4 being flowergirls...

Love is in the air...

Believe it or not, the wedding was made and not bought from some cake shop. Stephanie-jie rily is talented in making stuff like dis.

People must be wondering what are they doing with electrical screw driver during their wedding dinner. Well, their wedding present was inside the heart shape container and they must screw open the container to get their pressie. Interesting huh...

Group photo with the lovely couple. Look how lengzai n lenglui we are!

Latest boys over flowers cover picture! lol...
