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!

haha. my senior also tells me that as u go further, it will be easier. it turns out to me wrong. the further u go, the more u suffer.

haha, luckily my recommanded books not as much as u. and there are lecture notes that can rely on.

actually angmoh are quite good in giving their opinions. asians are just too shy. besides, for my uni here, angmoh are in both extremes. either too pandai or too cha1. asians are normally in between. this is how my uni always get a nice bell curve in the results. hehe

i am still trying to overcome the culture shock and different way of study. lets gambateh...
