Easter- Mannheim, Metzingen, Sindelfingen, Heilbronn...
1st of all, wan to say dat im still fine, still fighting on bravely, n still surviving despite the tough challenges ahead... Hooray... 2 weeks have passed n im still alive... :b
The reward 4 "tahan-ing" 4 2 weeks is 4 days off from Uni due to the celebration of easter. Fri to Mon. Xiang Yu n Pau went to Munich w/out me... zzz... so my plan was to go Mannheim n visit my frens there, Yee Tong n Yen Zhao together with Qi Hao.
Mannheim, the 2nd largest city in the state Baden-Wuerttemberg. The so called City of Entertainment. I dint bring my camera along, so dun have photos... paiseh ya... It's ntg oso actually... haha... Mannheim is nt as splendid as wat i 1st tot.
2nd day, went to Metzingen. Wahaha... i broke my promise last time. I tot i could resist the temptation of not purchasing 4 more than 100 euros in Metzingen. sigh... i couldn't...
Adidas Pull-over: 35 Euros (RM 175)
Levi's Jacket: 80 Euros ( RM 400)
Reebok's shoes: 50 Euros (RM250)
Next stop - Heilbronn. Spent 2 nites here. Played lotsa Dotas... with Heilbronn seniors summore. Pawned them shiok shiok... haha...
Thx to my frens- Yee Tong, Yen Zhao, n Qi Hao 4 ur hospitality. Managed to destress a lot during this trip. Haha... Although i dint sleep well 4 those nites (thanks to snoring from sumone), i had lotsa fun n had lotsa great food to digest.
Today, Tuesday, reality check-- Bek to uni again. Woke up 6.30am. Snowing like mad outside. zzzz.... the urge to ponteng surfaces... so cold n windy outside n yet still have to go 4 lectures... Got lab summore... unwillingly, i dragged myself to uni. Wad greeted me in the morning was chemical bonding. haiz... felt sleepy... very... 3 nites w/out gd sleep is certainly 2 much 4 me. I hate Snore. Very. No offence to ppl out there who snores. I hate snore bcos i dun have the ability to ignore it. My ears r too sensitive, stg which i dun like. I can hear things, no matter hw soft it is. I do hope my future partner will be sumone who doesnt't snore... lol...
After hectic lectures, tot i could finally get sum well-deserved rest. Who knows stg worse awaits me. "Big bird ar, help me to carry my stuffs from Diakonie." Pau. 4 ur info, Diakonie is a place where 2nd hand furnitures r sold. So the "stuffs" dat Pau meant was furnitures, huge n heavy furnitures!!!!! Cupboard, tables, chairs etc.... To add salt to injury, he's living on 2nd floor... gosh.... Thanks Pau 4 saving my time to go gym... zzz
Reward 4 being a "carrier", free dinner in KFC. Celebrated Xiang Yu's birthday as well... nw it's ady 11pm while im writing this post. Haven touch my books yet... haha... n tmr got Construction class, taught by a prof who likes dialect so much dat i cant even understand 10% of wat he said...
救命呀！！

My another "leng zai" look: priceless
All paid using my EC card. Dun wan my wallet to be lighter. A good way to deceive myself since i cant feel the lost of money until i check my balance online.
Went to IKEA as well. Will elaborate on this point in my next post. Btw, i spent more in IKEA than in Metzingen. ;bNext stop - Heilbronn. Spent 2 nites here. Played lotsa Dotas... with Heilbronn seniors summore. Pawned them shiok shiok... haha...

1st day in uni - help...
1st day in uni. Duno hw to describe. Feel foreign n weird. Ish...
Uni in Germany got stg quite similar to Malaysia. Baca Doa b4 the sem starts. Haha. But nt islam doa la of cos. This is a voluntary service 4 christians in Germany, catholic or protestant. Weird huh... But attendance very low. Germans nowadays doesnt care abt religion anymore.
9am: Welcome event 4 all newcomers. Everyone on stage was telling us dat we have made a good choice in choosing Esslingen as our Uni, the best 4 blah blah blah...
10am: Free food!! Haven eaten breakfast yet n they served bread n coffee 4 free!! Took plenty of it! There's a meeting with the dekants( Head of faculty) at 12pm. Decided to ponteng. Haha... Turned out to be a very BAD decision. Haiz... watever la...
Second day, start lectures: =.=!
1st thought on my mind: Y did i choose to come to Germany to suffer??!!
Reason 1 : professors speak like bullet train. "Oi, im a foreigner leh!!! HELLoooooooo!!!!!!" Some speak dialects as well. zzzz... i cant even understand cantonese or hokkien, n yet u speak to me using german dialect.... zzzzzzz....... Even our class-rep speaks like an alien.
Reason 2 : Professors think dat we know everything. come on la... wat is S325, H123 etc...??? If u dint tell us dat that is sum steel beforehand i tot is car plate number ar.... zzz.... n dun tell us jokes dat we duno leh... seeing everyone laugh except me makes me feel like an idiot... haiz...
Reason 3 : Germans seem to know everything.... esp those who went 4 practicals in companies like Bosch or Daimler. Keep putting up their hands to answer questions. Even if prof dint ask, they always want to share their own opinion. Terima kasih atas cadangan kamu... zzz.. Stg like this wont happen in Msia.
Reason 4 : Test, Test, Test. Can u imagine dat 1st week ady got test?? Maths got. Technical drawing got. Worst of all, b4 entering the lab got test oso... zzzz... N it's counted in the finals. vomit... Heard from seniors dat it's ONLY 15 mins. 3-5 questions. essay style. Gosh....
Haiz....
Books i borrowed from the library. cham ady lah... so much to read... n all in german summore...
University of applied sciences of Esslingen- best in automotive n mechanical engineering, n oso best in torturing students. =.=
Seniors say it's onli tough in the 1st sem. After dat it will be much easier. Hope so lo... seniors oso told us dat they used to eat ice cream when feel stress. haha. nice way to relieve stress leh. =)
My way to destress? Bread + Nutella. yummy!
If u can view my next post, means dat i can still survive! haha... Go Daniel go!

Crazy weather in Germany...
The title says it all. Few days ago i tot the season is going to change from winter to spring. There was one sunday where the temperature was 18 deg celcius. Stg like the temperature in Genting Highlands. I could jalan jalan outside with onli my T-shirt n shorts on. Then comes the unpredictable a few days later. HAIL.
Snow... snow... n more snow....
I took this pic from inside the train to Stuttgart. It looks like rain but it's actually ice. Hard, solid ice falling down from the sky. Sounds crazy huh? Due to the bad weather all trains in Stuttgart were delayed. I could hear the sound of ice hitting the roof of the train clearly while waiting 4 the train to move.
This pic shows the weather a few hours after the hail. Like normal. Told u lo, the weather's crazy here!!
Today, 4 March 08:
Me: Hey look, it's raining again!
Pau: (chewing his food)Ya lo... sien... dun feel like going to class ady...
Me: Wait a minute, it looks like snow!
Pau: (still chewing his food) it can't be la... It shud b spring soon...
Some distance away, there were 2 german gals talking to each other.
German gal A: Im draussen gibt es Schnee, oder? ( There's snow outside, rite?)
German gal B: Ja.. (yup...)
Pau: (Stunned) walao eh!! is it rily snowing??!!
It's my 1st time seeing snow falling from the sky. What i saw the last time was onli snow on the ground, but it wasn't snowing dat day.
Those white spots r snow. The building is my current hostel. Going to shift away soon. =(
Star-shape snowflake on my pull-over. Haha...
Snow... snow... n more snow....
Talking about snow makes me think about the name "Michelle". Michelle, if u happen to read this post, i've got a surprise 4 u. There's a train station with the name of "Michelau" in Germany. The way to pronounce it is abt the same like how ppl pronounce ur name..... Mi-chel-au... Anyway, hope u r doing well nw in Korea...

Forever Love~
Shining right before our eyes,
The glittering sunset.
Inside my chest, a profound love
Like nothing I have ever felt before.
If I say to myself that I'm fine on my own,
I'm telling a lie...
I've been passing time like this,
But from now on,
You're the only one I'll never part from.
Time and time againI'll send it to you,
what you're looking for.
All your hesitation will melt away,
Let's live and FOREVER LOVE.
With shadows inching closer on a steep path,
The feel of your clasped hand.
It seemed like that gently, tenderly erased the pain.
What kind of a future are you painting?
The image of your young self.
Finding the first star of the evening.
Now, I'll give it to you.
Time and time again I'll sing for you, my precious one
The single most undeniable treasure in this world,
BELIEVE IN LOVE...
You're the only love forever
No matter when.
I'm confident that I'll protect you forever.
The thorns stuck deep within your heart,
If they're pulled out,
I'll hold you close.
An endless dream.
Time and time again,
I'll grant it for you,
Everything that you wish for.
The single most undeniable brilliance in this world,
BELIEVE IN LOVE
Time and time again I'll give it to you,
What you're looking for
All your hesitation will melt away
And let's live, together
You're the only love forever
