cockroaches in Germany!

Actually, i still cant manage to find any cockroaches in Germany. Probably they r scared of the weather here. cold cold cold...

The "cockroaches" that i mentioned are actually us Malaysian students who are living abroad. Cockroaches are notorious for their ability to survive despite tough conditions. Back in Msia, it's rily troublesome to kill a cockroach. No matter how many times u whack it, it still moves!!! Taken from Soon Lee's blog: A cockroach can live up to 9 days w/out its head!! No wonder ppl say u r a 打不死的蟑螂 when referring to guys who r persistent in their effort to win a gal's heart.

So y do i say dat we msian students abroad r like roaches? well, imagine having to listen to lectures in a foreign language, learning things that u haven seen b4 but are easy to the germans, having to sit for exams in german, and handing up assignments that u cant imagine that u have to do it all by urself. By the way, im not trying to brag or boast about how great i am or wad. But it's pretty cool that malaysian students can do many things.

I was given an assignment to construct a bearing-testing maschine. U might ask wat on earth is that stuff.. to b frank, i was asking the same question as well. Despite not knowing what that thing is, through help of frens and lecturer, i still manage to draw and hand up my drawing which looks pretty satisfying... (SPM and A-levels never taught me how to draw technically.)

Besides that, we will have every fortnight a so-called lab test. It's actually a test to evaluate wat we have prepared for the upcoming lab experiment. Many germans failed that. We malaysians so far all pass. strange huh?

This is the semangat of the cockroaches! We take watever that are thrown on us. Whack us, and we still move!

Hopefully i still can say this after my exam at the end of my sem. :b

Excellent excellent piece of writing. This is exactly what I'm looking for in blogs, description about one's life and reflecting on it. Where other people fail, you never cease to amaze me. Keep up the good work!
