My lunch cum dinner!


Just finished my lunch cum dinner. This time round, i've cooked sardine. Yummy!
1st trail - very successful.

Was talking to bunbun on skype just now. As usual, he looks blur blur de. Heard he got a flu, poor bunbun. I was comparing my apple cheeks to his. My face was like two times bigger than before. OMG! i've gain so much weight. Luckily there is no weighing machine here if not i sure die. Hehehe... even mummy and daddy was also laughing at my burger face now. My face was like so round...
Manage to squeeze out reason of my gaining weight. Definitely becoz of my busy time schedule. Winter time now so i didnt go out for a walk or so. Everyday i just sit in front of my laptop to rush out my submission after meal. Thats why all the fat still remains inside me. Gosh... i cant go back spore in this kind of round face de lar. Everybody sure laugh at me de. Once winter is over, the weather is better sure have to go outside for jogging session. Anyway, i've stopped jogging for so ling liao. It is time i go back to my exercising habit.

Starting of my winter holiday.

Finally, i'm starting my one month winter holiday. Schedule all plan. This coming friday, i'll be flying to Switzerland and travel all the way back to Wismar. This time it will be a much longer trip. Planning to go on 20++ days schedule. Hmm... so now starting to search for my couch and places of interest i wanna go.
Just watch a very long movie, Holmes. Sherlock Holmes! Really a long movie and there will be another series coming up soon i guess. Really good movie.

Not happy at all....

I am not happy at all...
Everything added up is beyond what i can accept. Is my expectation to high for others and myself? Things did not turn out the way it should be...
Maybe i should lower down my expectation after all, to make myself be happier and more at ease.

Hope tomorrow will be a bright new day for me.

My dinner...


Disappointed

Just came back from my 2 presentation. I did well for lighting design but was very disappointed at my 2nd presentation, Technical English.
I was being commented that i have weird speaking accent and i speak too fast. I was like.. what. I spoke slowly throughout my technical english presentation and i was not speaking from the screen. I knew the mark straight after the presentation. I was graded 2, which i was really very very disappoint. 1 = best and 4 = fail.
There were 2 lecturers grading us.
One of them commented that she had teaches student from China, but me as a chinese student have very different accent from her china students. I was like so so so angry.. how can she compared with the china student. I believe i have better pronunciation than the china students.
Back in class, they were discussing about the people who had done the presentation. When i told them how i was being commented. They were like shocked, to them my accent was good and they all understand what i say.
Till now, i was still pretty much upset about the comments she gave.

Experiment presentation on lighting design

Cute BunBun

I saw cutey bunbun on skype just now. Havnt seen him for week i think. He is so hyper active now. He is really the laugher and center attraction of the NG and LIM family now.
His gorgeous eyes was so big and shiny. He was looking in the camera and smiling at me. I was totally captivated by bunbun liao.

Hmm... counting down to another six more month plus then i csn hug and kiss bunbun liao.

Can i cancel my trip with you to switzerland?

Damn it, now regretting going on the trip with you to Switzerland and round Germany. Having our final submission next week and yet you are still looking at the itinerary for the trip. I've to do all the work alone. Grh...

Is the trip more important than our submission! Gosh.. i didnt have any problem arranging and deciding my itinerary when i went backpacking during xmas time. It is so hard to travel even with just a fren. Just the two of us and yet you can keep on vetting me with all these.

Late night again...

I’m so full. 9pm now, just came back from school and I cooked myself a very nice dinner. Mee Huan Kueh. Lot of ingredient. I’ve put mushroom, black fungus, vegetables and a drumstick. I’m so full now. Gonna work till late again tonight.

Felt like I’m put on the altar today. Had 3 presentations in a row. Gosh.. kind of nervous? No way! In fact I felt I did greatly for the presentation. Initially, our group was the last group to present for the February conference to Pennstate. But earlier, the prof said he change his mind. This made my group stunned. Now, we became the 1st group to present.

Midnight Birthday Party..

Tired..... had a midnight birthday celebration for Andres. Most of the class went over to haus 25. We planned a midnite surprise party.
At 11.45pm, we all crowded at andres's room. We were all so noisy singing birthday song and cracking jokes. Had such big fun.
The celebration end at 3.30am and we were all so tired. But had such great fun.

No more complain pls... i'm so sick of it

2 down... hahaha.... completed my Arch Management and Light.Color.Material final presentation this week. Now, i'm still left with 5 more presentation and 1 more exam to conquer this month. Cool... quite satisfied with the results so far. Grade is not an issue to me, process and understanding means more to me.

Just came back from my 1st subway meal since i came over to Germany. Damn expensive, one full meal of 30cm subway cost 7.99euro. And i'm sharing the meal with a fren. Expensive but at least i can pour out my sorrow to the group. I had enough since tuesday. All about Anja, this demoralizing german girl. Yucks...

On tuesday, she was skyping with me. She was so bloody hell out of her mind. 5 of us were grping for LCM project and i was the last one to edit and make sure the final printed out version was complete. So after checking, i send out to the other 4 member and ask for final comments with the version before i send for printing. I didnt send to her alone and she replied me with a nasty comments. "Why? why am i always the one doing all the work and checking!" I was like... what... i was thinking that did i do that piss her off. How cum her attitude is so bad. Okie, i know everyone was really stress this month becoz there was so many presentation and submission but still.... control your own temper. I had to explain nicely to her that my intention was to do a final check with everyone and making sure everyone agreed on this printout. I dun see anything wrong with it.

Finally she calm down and goes on asking me how was my grp preparation with AM case studies report. Well, i answered that my group was going on fine. Now paula was doing the final adding in. So what wrong with that again. She then replied me :you ahould not be so pround of your work. It's not challenging at all to work with paula. Your design are just piece of art." I was really very angry with her then. What kind of attitude is she giving me? You ask me about my other grp progress and yet you are making so irritating comments about my grp work. Who the fucking hell are you to comments on me like this. Everyone came from different culture and backgroup. So what the problem you are having.

Grhh... this morning when i step into the lecture room. She came and sat beside me. 1st time in the morning, when my mood was really good. I was like OMG. Again, she started telling me that andres was mad at her. Andres was shouting at her on skype last night regarding our project. I was like.. what... we are a team in this project how cum i dun know that there is problem going on in our grp. Ok.. i was listening to her pouring out her sorrow. Gosh... after breaktime, she came to me again and saying that she was very upset becoz, andres was talking behind her back with max and mus. I was like what actually really happen. I dont know about the argument and can i not get involved in it. I'm simply not that interested to know. She keep on saying that she done nothing wrong and why is andres getting mad at her for. Hmmm... when i came to know the whole story, i was like... my mind's vein was totally unblocked. Aso.... that how the whole things went. Hai... cant we all make things simplify. Anywat, simplicity was the best.

I keep avoiding Anja since lunch. I cant stand her complaining to her the whole morning. I just wanted a more peaceful day. I guess i did it pretty obvious to her that keep her mouth shut. So after the lesson, the grp of us... the gossiper we went to Subway. We were all commenting about her behaviour. It seem that everyone in the class was having problems with her. I skype her conversation about.. not challenging... proud.. a piece of art... to paula, for her viewing as we were a team for the main prsentation... same thinking as i did... she was really angry with anja's attitude as well. We were all talking behind her back this time round. What problems does she have. She is behaving like a kiddo. So negative thinking, and it is stressing everyone out. Everyone got submission to do and why is she making a big issue out of it!
Learn how to control your temper and attitude well.
The final conclusion we all agreed on: next semester we are all not going to having any project grouping with her... No Anja no stress...

Super busy month

Is my expectation too high?

Again.. I was thinking, is my expectation too high?

How cum I can multi-task a couple of things in the same time and yet you are having such difficulty. I have done most of the work and yet you keep on dragging the final slides. Just a few of it, is it so difficult. Haizz… guess I have to get used to their slow working pace.
Everytime…. Keeping skyping to ask stupid question. Simple.. just follow the prof’s powerpoint guideline lar…

My Birthday Surprise



Received a great surprise when i came back to Germany. There was a large envelope being stuck inside my letterbox. I was like OMG...
When i came back and open the big envelope. I was so so so happy. Almost cried out. The best birthday present i ever had. My sis made a big photo card of everybody in the family and post to me. I love it so much. Now, i've put it on my table so that i can see it everyday. I missed everybody at home. Countdown to another 7 more month then i can go back to Spore for holiday.
Not only my family, both Janice and Lian also send me gift. I didnt expect to collect present one after another. I love you gals so much back home.

Day 9 and Day 10 X’mas Delight – Budapest in Hungary

Budapest, my last stop. Was already rather tired but still full of excitement to discover this beautiful city. I had read that Budapest was regarded as one of the most beautiful city in Europe. Just awaiting me to discovered. My hostel was totally screwed up. Had such a hard time finding in the end I gave up.
I was totally captivated by this beautiful city. I totally agreed that this is a really beautiful country. Had travel to quite a few countries before, I must really give my thumb up for this city. As I walked thru Széchenyi Chain Bridge to get up to Castle District and Fishermen’s Bastion. From high up, I could see the whole of Danube river in Hungary. As night was falling, the lighted up city was awesome. I told myself I’m going to bring daddy and mummy back to Budapest. It was really worth seeing. Altot the climb up to the castle was long and tiring, but it was all worth it.
My 1st time to the casino in Budapest. I did something naughty. Instead of carrying my backpack all the way, my fren told me to sign in to a casino and left my bag at the entrance and then we went into the casino. We sneaked out thru the sign door and off we went to go sigh-seeing. Hehehe…. It was a great idea. Lighten my load. Now, I’m a member of Las Vegas casino even.















Day 6 and Day 8 X’mas Delight – Bratislava in Slovakia









To my surprise I could go from one countries to another without having my passport checked or stamped. I was so … upset… Initially I thot cool. I could have a collection of all countries border stamped on my new passport. Who noes! Not even a check-point when i was crossing from Austria to Slovakia. Disappointed. Later then I came to know that all EU countires can travel freely as long as stay within the 90days grant. Haiz…. 1st disappointment.
2nd disappointment! What an old and boring capital. I stepped foot on the famous Danube river on my 1st day. Was rather disappointed. Althot nice scenary but was destroyed by the UFO. UFO as what the people called it, Nový most bridge. It was an impressive bridge but the surrounding was all old old houses or farm. Not much places to wander except for the old town. A lot of hidden sculpture for you to discover. I even spend some time to climb up the landmark, Bratislava Castle. It was one of the most prominent structures in the city. From the castle you could see the whole scenary of Danube river in Slovakia.

Day 3 – Day 5 X’mas Delight – Wien in Austria

The train that I took cause me almost 4 hours sitting quietly and admiring the scenery before I arrived at the destination. 1st time I sat in a train that took me into the mountain and across many hill and river. Now I know why there is this song of “She’ll be cuming roung the mountain”. Exactly the same thot I had when sitting in the train.
Arrived in Wien or rather commonly known as Vienna with much excitement. Heard and read a lot about this Austria capital. Musical and Artistic Town with many impressive building and memories. From the rathaus to MuseumQuatier to Parliament Haus to all the museum and finally the Prater. It was really cool… I simply love the museum. Their favourite empress, Sissi… I now had so much admire for her. She is the one and only empress in Austria or rather I would say in Europe that had an attitude of her own. Visited some castles becoz of Sissi that became so famous. When to their church and wow… I somehow wondered how can the past actually left behind so much detailed for the future to admired and study.
