1st Advent Weekend

its been a while since i blogged about anything. its hard to find time nowadays with more work and headache which is also equivalent to much body pain and heartache. a lot have been going on in this little town of Landshut. about a week ago we have officially entered the winter season with much anticipation. and yes I've experienced snow which im not so fond of. snow came late here compared to the other parts of Bayern and well, it did not stay for long too.

*my studentenwohnheim in winter*

Starting this week, the whole of Germany is entering the Advent festive season. It marks the 4 weeks before the Christmas Celebration. Every Sunday of Advent, a candle will be lit on the Advent ring. its one of those things you see on TV that people put on the door during Christmas. funny that they have so much to prepare for when Christmas actually has no huge meaning for them. Its just a celebration weather you believe in the son of God or not. *sadness* the whole place is lit and Christmas markets are up all around Bavaria. These Christmas Markets are gladly exciting and fun. they sell all sorts of stuff from Christmas trees and ornaments to dipped chocolate fruits and traditional warmed wein they call gluehwein. Gluehwein works well in this really cold climate where i walk and could not feel my fingers!



this weekend, the girls came down from friedberg to attend the Mara's Girls day Out programme. we met at Muenchen on Friday and had our time together. Experienced the opening of muenchens Weihnachtsmarkt, strolled down the brightly lit and decorated streets and of course took photos. we then timed-out at Muenchens Hard Rock cafe for bites and also those thirst quenching drinks. so when andrina and I sat for drinks, i get my usual margarita and she will always get what is recomended. at least she got out fine.. not the lil' miss spinny head-salt eating girl in mid-valley which i will never forget. after a meal, they went to shop st the merchandise store while i spend my time looking at those signed guitars. That night, we went back to LAndshut still hungry and made Lasagna for supper. we crammed in my little room for lights out and as usual, me and Belle will still be talking in the dark.

Saturday came.. one of those tiring dates that i will keep in my heart. Those train waiting moments that hurts you so much that you will also hate the punctuality of Germans. the moment we stepped on the platform, only a second too late. we found ourselves waving goodbye to mr train heading for Nurnberg. so well, thats why we are here. waited another hour. got the whole schedule messed up, lost our way in Nurnberg.

we finally put the pieces together, found our destination and had our first official Girls day out with other Malaysian Scholar Students here.
And our activities were..

1. Futsal
2. Tali Getah or zero Point
3. Batu seremban
4. Galah Panjang

owh well, i do expect those laughters from the male species. yes thats what we call sports. unless you think playing zero point is so easy when you're 20. things we so much easier 10 years back. at least i did not have my veins streched making my leg hurt so much while playing. the guys as usual will have their game of futsal. and the gilrs will say, boys with their ball-kicking. we went over to meet up with the rest at their futsal game. well only some of them. got a few with us and had our fun at the Nurnberg town.

*Nurnberg weihnachtsmarkt*

*the huge pony ride*

Nurnberg is a really beautiful place i can say. not forgetting with so many people that it seems like a stempede. got saperated a few times with the group but theres always ways to get hold of each other.we saw horses, had fun looking at stuff, testing things that could be tested, watching children goin on rides and wishing we could too. we bought all kinds of food from the cutely decorated stalls that had toy decorations and shared together.. sweet stuff, cinnamon flavoured, vanilla cream, chocolate and apple sauce.. picking on each others food.



things of course had to end. and it did. we got on the train.. it was filled with malaysian students and we were so endulged with ourselves that we were not aware of the announcement. what we knew was that the train was delayed. NOT changing its route. so there we were, on a train heading to ingolstadt-Muenchen instead of Landshut-Regens-Muenchen. Spent time on the train with much chaos finally transitted in Muenchen then headed back home...

It may be one of my most tiring experience but because of friends, it went great as they are always there to share your laughters and bad train moments.

Tuning Soul

"Music is my life and my life is music, the beat of the drums in your hearts"

The magic of music that no one knows.why does music move you in every way?? i stil dont understand. thank God for youtube. i can reminisce all those sweet memories in silly songs. the thing about me is, i have memories for every song and i do not know why. it doesnt matter if i like it or not. wether its a junction, a road or an object, i see why music has taken effect on me. Lately we have been browsing music videos on youtube. with the exception of karaoke-ing on skype to Bidayuh songs. watching those videos i havent seen for more then 10 years!! i still remember the dance steps, moves and lyrics. at least i x end up dancing in my room like some people. hahhaa.. for the love of music... its so great how music lives in us.

90s pop affects most young girls at those times. not forgetting those endless list of boybands thta only became one hit wonders. i was a victim of music, i admit. and i still am. music make you live. its not full of naggy words but just a simple melody to testify your situation in life. well music nowadays are so much more influencial. we never really listen properly due to those up beat music and catchy chorus. but it seems to me that they are more negative as they tell you how to have sex and smoke weed or commit suicide. a negative impact on the world today. see it from a diffrent spec. you'll be amaze if u listen to them carefully. music back then was so laid back, telling you how beautiful love is (if you havnt woke up to the real world) or just silly funky lyrics talking about the taxi driver from calcutta. it scares me that when i was young everyone sang "liquid dreams" like it was nothing when it was really SOMETHING. so listen properly to wad you're singing out from your mouth. it sometimes will make you look foolish.

well, music will always be there for you, just tune to what your soul needs.

enjoy music!

my long time favourite song

the hurting leg sister

this picture soo reminds me of you but then im the one waiting for you to get here with ur "kaki kudung". hahahaha. dats what happens when u always say that ill end up like that. ok enuf. i know how it hurts. so the petua is to walk and not sit or lay because if you so, it will "masuk angin". actually its cause the blood dont flow. avoid sleeping or beaing static in cold places. i mean where theres air conditioning. and i recommend that you go and ask mummy to bring you to masssage it for the blood circulation.

to aviod getting your ankle sprained the 4th time on the same spot
1. EXERCISE!!! small base heavy weight?? not a good combination for anyting thats wants stability
2. watch where you are goin. jalan pakai mata bukan lutut.
3. kempunan may be the cause. so get your mind off food and refer to no. 1
4. be careful.

so thats all i've got to advice as a sister. hahaha. ill be praying for you.
love you lots!! muahh!!

A letter to Malaysia

Dear Malaysia,

How have you been lately? I've heard a lot of news about you but i could not split the truth from the false. looks like things got pretty hectic huh? its been two months since i left but my heart still stayed with you. Nothing beats being a Malaysian, not even being in Europe. how is it going with the government and the economic situation? I just pray that things will get better. prayers are always the best way to sort out situations. For me, being far from you makes me miss you so much. Ive had great times with you in my past years and i'm sure to have it till its time for me to leave you for good.

Malaysia, you are so blessed in many ways. Counting your blessing will take real long as it passes from Kelantan to Sabah. With your exotic beauties and great gifts, its no wonder a soul like me could not bare to leave you. you have given me amazing times both good and bad, and it made me learn a lot in this life. We had great fun don't we?? Having ABC or lai chee kang on a hot and sunny day is always the greatest treat. And those amazing stars that shine like blankets of diamonds were always amazing for me as i gaze at them on the way back from the kampung. Its just a waste that i cant really do that when i was staying in KL though. two years in KL was one of my great 730 days. It never seems to sleep and always has something to offer everyone of all ages. Those times when we had nights out in clubs and spend almost 2 hours in Subang looking for the home of a drunkard young lady. Amazing stuff alcohol makes you do. my fridays when i would take the train down to hang Tuah Station to go to Bukit Bintang. Walking along Pudu Jail to save a few pennies under your hot blazing sun. how Times Square was the place for us to spend our wednesdays for cheap movie tickets. you sur have your ways with students.

still malaysia, i admire your spirit of road driving and rage. How scary became not so scary and how speed traps can be replaced by a cup of coffee in the mamak stall. the minds of your people that you cant find anywhere else. your long jams are what i always saluted. i never figured them out somehow. especially your famous festive season back to back traffic. 7 hours on the Karak highway was a car show gallery for me. and how you would close your roads during your birthday and strike beautiful flowers in the sky at midnight. that act of closing your main road would make me suffer from Urinary track infection if you did not have mousy streets from Petaling Jaya to KL.

to tell you the truth Malaysia, i really wish i was with you now. sitting with my family back home enjoying each others company and going back to Taee on the weekends... the glory of Durians in this season. i'll be having a great time as i used to. As Christmas is approaching, how we would do our preparations and Christmas carols and Productions. The presence of ECF is so God gifted and they strongly pray for you in every way. malaysia, i love you and really hope for the best for your future. well, i hope i'll be back to serve you as your citizens have given me this chance to be here. i wont let you down malaysia.

lots of Love from your native girl

Why Science??

Ever wondered why we have to learn science? Or the logical thinking of maths? When i was young i used to question the natural phenomena a lot. why this and why that. Why is the sky blue and the ocean blue? but when u are up in the sky, its just a colorless empty space and the ocean waters are clear in the palm of your hands. I guess most of you who had spent time studying with me would still remember that question. What we see, hear, do or speak has its place in the history of our souls. Maybe some will end up in the history books of our children or grandchildren. That was why we had to learn a lot in our history class. I can imagine Malaysian History in the next 10 years or so. Thank God i was born earlier. Think of what will be printed in those pages : economic down turn of Malaysia, ministers showing who's boss and so what is shown on the news.

A salute to those who made NOW possible
Figuring out a math or physic question is always though. but those who figured it out had a real hard time. Most only got acknowledge after death. and we get it easily at a young age. questions like is the earth square or flat? Yeah, i knew the answer when i was in primary school. the theory of Einstein that gravity exist. I've read somewhere that the equator has a stronger gravity pull. the reason why we are short. Logic or no logic, i myself do not know the answer. what i can say is... only God knows. why?? because he made you and me so he is the master of all creation.

A lot of theories and believes are popping up like mushrooms due to the intelligence of Men this era. And their age gets younger and younger. Most don't end up like Einstein of Archimedes. Above all, there must be basic to what we have today and it is clear that without these gray headed people, none of this would exist. No cars, radios, planes and I would not even be typing this. We would be living in a world of our own not knowing whether there are anyone else besides ourselves. Now, many of us wish we would one day create history. May we be the big shot, super star or President, we all have our own dreams and its ok to dream big. to think again, most of these things are created by accident. we know that humans are not perfect. thats why its ok to make mistakes. it can make you the next big thing one day!
