Ipoh White Coffee & The British Trip

There's no connection between those 2 by the way. It's just that this post is about the both of them.

I finally have the courage to send my laptop for servicing. The main reason why I didn't do it long ago weas because I couldn't imagine 5 days without a lappie. I've actually experienced those days before when I bought my desktop and found out that the graphic card was not working well with the motherboard and so have to return and order a new card. Actually it wasn't that hard at all and it's actually a good way to trin my self not to be too dependent on computer these days.

Well, though I've solved most of my problems from the series of unfortunate events that happened to me last month, one thing that still remain is the Emo problem. Exactly one year ago from today Kelsen and I were on the bus from London to Cardiff. We had a night in cardiff and visited some of cardiff's beautiful scenary, which includes the Welsh chics during the night. They were so different from the Dinosaur German chics. The cardiff chics have great body figure and most importantly they were wearing really sexy & seductive outfits. Man, I gotta tell you despite the super cold temperature thery were wearing so little cloth, while Kelsen and I were wearing about 3 layers of clothings and yet still felt cold. You gotta love British chics. Cardiff was just one of the stops in our great UK trip. Before that we visited leeds and Manchester. Though it was my second time going to Old Trafford, but it's so different going wif my best bro. about 2 days from now one year ago we left CK's apartment to Bakerstreet station to meet up with Soo Fan and her friend June. Then we walked around London, covering alot of places. Though I don't remember exactly the whole agenda, but I remember we visited Hyde Park, Westminister, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, British Museum, St. Paul's Cathedral, Harrods and many more.

Though I was sick during the last days in London and despite some bad incident that happen to the hosts, overall the trip was fantastic. Second best after the Genting/Singapore trip.

Back to present. I always mentioned about the whole jiwang feeling about being so close yet so far. Today my friend Adrian gave me the whole pack of 3 in 1 Ipoh Old Town Coffee. Honestly it smells like soya sauce and doesn't taste as good as any oft he coffee here, but it reminds me of home. It taste exactly like those coffee we had in coffee shops in Malyasia. Then these few days when I login to facebook to check out the SJ4P group, suddenly I saw 70 new wall posts! Normally at most 2 or 3 per day or sometimes none, and only regular active members will spam it. Those spamming sessions made me felt more desperate to go home and have gatherings with them. The last time I had a grand gathering with them was in Lucas's house 4 years ago. The second grand was 3 years ago during nD's bday in Thai Sabye Sabye @ OUG. It's been too long and I really missed them.

I had a general question for you guys. Of course most of you have your own life now, but do you guys ever missed your primary/high school or college life? OR it's just me being such an emo bozo having flashbacks too often????

living the nomad spirit

Wooo, I'm MIA for quite some time in blogosphere. Yeah, been busy really these few days and I'm no more having my own room/internet. I'm living a life of a nomad now, and the owner of this room will come back on Friday from his lovely holiday back home in Malaysia. I will stay with him for couple of days to see if it's ok, coz his room is relatively small. Although I still manage to squeeze a matress in, but I am afraid it might cause inconvinience to him, so I'll look for alternatives. This owner guy reminds me of my holiday 2 weeks ago. He went genting with his friends and posted heeps of pictures in Facebook, and he also got a gf, which reminds me how I spent my holiday 2 years ago.

I'm feeling less emo these days, until today in the train back from Bochum (another town) after a small outing with Tharsis, Poong, and a new Msian kid. I took out my watch and that blink of a second i remember this watch was given to me exactly 2 years ago from today. Time really flies like crazy. Man, I'm still in the state of "so close yet so far" as I'm almost there but not there yet. But yeah, things are quite ok for me these days. There're 1 new Malaysian who came here for the whole bachelor course, and 6 others from UKM transfer. All doing Mechanical Eng. I've never met any of the other UKMers yet, but hav hang out wif that new msian guy (named Quan Wei) a few times already. He was just like me when i first came, without a room and lots of problem, but the lucky thing about him compare to me is that he have us, and he had more support these days as the Uni made alot of effort to give more support. But yeah, I don't complain anymore as these are all part of my experience gained which i felt more valuable than any other things in my life. We brought him to the chinese buffet thingy which we ate many times already and that guy was like tapao the whole place. See, people learn how to appreciate chinese food more when they're outside although the restaurant also made some changes to suit the European taste.

We're going to have a big gathering on this weekend to bring all the Malaysians together. With the amount of Malaysian who come to Germany to study, we actually learn how to appreciate each other more. Although we only meet once in a while, but I always put Malaysian as my first priority here, especially when it comes to help. Maybe it's bcoz i've beeen thru all these and i felt there's a need for me to help them.

Back to me. After 2 weeks I returned the room, I still felt abit nostalgic about the room. I've been there 3 years. Many sweet memories there. I've hosted a couple of VIP in that room before, including Oli and Pailing (December 2006), my parents (May - June 2007), Kelsen (February 2008), Nikki and Eriko (May 2008). It gave me a warm comfortable room to stay in. I miss my 6Mbit/s internet connection, my lovely double matress bed with my "coffee,tea or me" comforter, my blardy movable table, my ugly shelf and wadrobe and so many others. Here're some photos of the room after cleaning and painting.





Well, my thesis is not going so well at this stage as it comes to the hardware level but I'm confident it can be solved. New semester starting soon and today itself I spotted damn freaking many chics in the canteen, mainly from Business Faculty. Yeah Godfathar, you're right. Engineering is probably the worse gayish course in history. I should have developed my business mind from young, so i can be in the same classroom with the chics :) Lolx, sounds like I'm really desperate.

What else?? I've been learning how to cook 梅菜扣肉 these days as my friend taught me how to do it. He made super delicious, and he added some dried chilli which makes it even tastier. Yeah, though I'm not talented in cooking, but I'm interested. Maybe my future wife would be impressed of my cooking skill lolx. I'm one step closer to sell my guitar now, and as much as it has great sentimental value, it's a lousy guitar i have to admit. No point paying extra to bring up the airplane as i can get a better one back home. I've promised myself if I'm staying back for long period, I will sign up for guitar course and learn more advance skills. Again I'm not talented in music, but I'm super interested in it. I'm no doubt a lazy person, but I'm a person who doesn't like to just use things without knowing how it works. I love listening to music, but I also want to know how to make music. I love food, which is why I want to learn how to make them. I love electronic gadgets, which is why I took up E&E engineering.

Ahh, another long post. I should update more often.
