The effect of stress on me...

First of all, wan to clarify dat i have no intention of showing off in this post... Dun have the intention of being 自恋.. just wan to show how stressful is my life here... Give a closer look to my hair, not my face... =)


Dat's me on the day i left Msia (4 months ago): Stress level = minimal ; Hair = spiky n cool!!

2 weeks later: Stress level = still minimal ; Hair= as spiky n cool like before!

3 months later: Stress level = on the rise ; Hair= long, starting to turn white


Today: Stress level = maximum ; Hair = longer, whiter.. c how old i am now!! it's like 杨过 's hair after 16 years without the chance to see his beloved 小龙女... Wrinkles start to pop out.. sigh... cham leh... After entering uni, it's like 小龙女 jumped from the cliff ( if im 杨过 )... Ntg 4 me to look 4ward to... everyday go to lectures with a blur expression, go bek home with a blurrer expression... Reports, assignments, projects, tutorials etc robbed me of my happiness... During this depressive period i think i could master 黯然销魂掌 ady...

Until my hair become like this...

Haih.... Coming weeks: mechanics mid term, Strength of materials mid term...

When will my "16 years" come?? can i live until dat day??

broke the law... :b

Traffic lights... a common sight in law-abiding Germany... Traffic lights here r a little diff from those in Malaysia...

Malaysia: green, yellow, red, green.....

Germany: green, yellow, red, yellow, green,....

Notice the difference? The yellow light will appear just before the green to tell the drivers to prepare to go... if u take 2 long to go after the light turns green, be prepared to get "hoink!"

From my bus stop to my uni-- 10 mins walking dist. 3 traffic lights for pedestrians separate me from my uni. The urge for me to break the law is always there. Lectures starts in 5 mins, red light, no car, no policeman waiting... wat to do?

Cross la... wait 4 wad?? i have been doing this 4 the past few weeks... ntg happened... not until last nite...

Came bek from steamboat dinner with frens n seniors in Stuttgart. It's ady 1150pm.. Bus leaving from bus stop soon. Between me n bus stop-- traffic light again... red summore... cross la!! bus leaving soon ar!

As i took my 1st step forward, stg tells me dat things r not rite at all... i heard a vivid "oi!" from behind, dun care... mayb sum drunkards.... walk straight n everythg will be alright..

Naive thought... As i was about to board my bus, i received a pat on my bek, upon turning my head, a huge, green word greeted me...

"POLIZEI"

" Do noe dat u have crossed a red light?" in german... "errr..." " Do u noe dat such an act is illegal??"... " err... i dint c la.. sorry.." " Show me ur passport please!"

Cham lah... from dat point, i tot sure kena saman ady.. here saman not cheap ar... n then i dint bring out my passport summore... cham.. he might think dat im a illegal immigrant n send me to my 1st visit to lock-ups in Germany... wah!!! i still got labtest on tues one leh... dun like dat ar....

Unwillingly, i took out my Malaysian I.C n showed it to him. Dun have other identification stuffs on me to prove dat im legal here.

" R u from Malaysia?" asked the policeman. " uh huh..."

The following conversation is totally unbelievable:

" Ok, i will let u off this time since u r having ur vacation here.. u r lucky today.." " err... " ( still cant believe wat's happening.. blur )

" Dun do this again ok? Im sure in Malaysia there r traffic lights as well.. " " err... ok... thanks..."

Pheww... No saman... haha... Thank God 4 dat... =)

Btw, do i look like a tourist? weird... haha... =)



Maybe i look like puss in boots... cute n innocent until the policeman dun feel like saman-ing me.. =)

Happy bday to me...

My 1st bday w/out my family celebrating it with me. My 1st bday in a foreign country. My 1st bday where everything i tink about is how to prevent myself from sleeping in lectures and labs. My 1st bday where i hv to wake up so early in the morning. My 1st bday where ppl start to wish me happy bday when it's not my bday yet (haha).

Anyway, thx to everyone 4 ur happy bday msg... made my a day a lot more special.. enjoy this day ya... the day when i was borned.. =)

D.I.Y day

I have mentioned in my previous post dat i have spent more in IKEA compared to Metzingen. Around 200 euros in one go... muahaha... 200 x 5 = RM 1000 onli mah... :b

After weeks of "not free", "lazy" n "i wan to sleep more lah..", i have finally summoned enuf determination in me to start making my room a better place to live in. The stuffs dat i have bought from IKEA were lying motionlessly till today. So do the screwdrivers, screws, drill machine etc have to be awakened from their slumber, not to mention my neighbours as well...

Task 1: Table and drawers


Task 2: Wall-shelf (lotsa drilling involved, @#$%^&* from neighbours :b )


Task 3: Curtain-rod (need drilling as well, more @#$%%^^& from neighbours)
All D.I.Y... nt easy at times... Result of my 汗，泪，血:
My new-look room!!! wait a minute....
This stupid light bulb is the onli blemish in my room. My onli source of light from a lightbulb... haiz...

Btw, if u wonder how germany's toilet n kitchen looks like:



Preview of my next post:


Muahaha... anyway, my new number in Germany is +4917662219193

Sad day 4 Arsenal fans...

haiz... lazy to write abt wat happened... so copied the following post from my fren's blog...

Flamini受伤倒地的那一刻已经注定了Arsenal的败局。
Wenger好用不用，换了懒惰天王Gilberto上场。
局势马上180度转变，Liverpool控制了节奏。
Arsenal找不到那种默契，传球频频失误。
中场Fabregas独撑大梁，求助无门。
其中有一幕更是凄凉。
Fabregas前场获球转身想找人短传，却看到Gilberto在后场散步。
他一个人就这样从原本充满机会的前场落魄地带球到中场。
事后那一副抱头失望的表情，看了真令人心寒。
情势一直到Wenger把Walcott换上后才稍有起色。
Wenger把最后的希望，寄托在他和受伤康复后一直没有作为的Van Persie身上。
Arsenal要赢，真的还需要点运气。
八十三分钟，Walcott在后场获球，忽然神一般地连切四个人。
一个人从后场禁区外带到前场禁区！
我和智燊已经拉紧了神经，准备为Arsenal领军欧冠四强欢呼。
就在Adebayor扫进Walcott传中的那一刻，我们相拥而抱，大吹胜利的喇叭！
Walcott绝对是我们的英雄！我们呼喊着，狂喜着，这绝对是一个奇迹！
但就在我们庆祝完毕，坐下来的那一霎那，Toure在禁区内大动作却又没什么碰触地绊倒Babel。哨子响起，裁判亮了张黄卡给Toure。
全世界的Arsenal球迷沉默了。
这一声哨子吹灭了Walcott一分钟前的奇迹，吹灭了所有球迷的希望。
Gerrard不负众望地射进了点球。
Liverpool 3 - 2 Arsenal。
Arsenal才刚刚因为Walcott的奇迹恢复了状态，马上就被Referee小事当大事的哨子彻底地打垮。一撇不振。
最后一分钟Babel再下一城，给Arsenal球迷判了死刑。
而喜欢在后场散步的Gilberto这一会儿却不见人影，反到是Fabrecas苦苦地追赶已经突破的Babel。
这一个赛季真的踢得很不幸。
Rocisky, Eduardo, Sagna受伤。
Van Persie也处于低靡状态，害到大家只能眼睁睁地看“全能性前锋”Adebayor做戏。

Thanks to wee howe 4 the post... interestingly written...

On a lighter note...

Juz realised dat my past few posts contained elements like sadness, stress, anger, frustration, etc... Making others think dat life in Germany is like hell... like evrything can onli be associated with stress n hardship. Erm... no la... things r nt dat bad la actually.... haha...

Went to Konstanz yday. A so called mission trip planned by our church in Stuttgart where we reach out to malaysian students around the whole Baden-Wuerttemberg. Met seniors from Konstanz n played football with them, watched Arsenal vs Liverpool with them ( 1-1 zzz) n most importantly, had my 1st steamboat dinner in Germany!!
