Magic Filled Air

i have been quite busy lately. paranoid as well. exams are coming up and seriously, i do NOT know what to expect. im not so sure how things are done here during exams. its my first anyway so may God grace be upon me.

before i tell the tale of my first Christmas away from home, id love to wish everyone a great Christmas (hope u guys had fun!) home seems so far away now. i try to limit my calls home due to my past phone bills. id cry my eyeballs out to see another 200euros printed on my phone bill. so to those who texted me, im so sorry i cant text back. i noe.. sad2..

been looking at photos in Facebook.. how happy people looked, the girls had their dinner together after so many years apart, celebrated Audrey, Freda and Jamies birthday. well all happy2 in photos but behind those smiles, no one knows whats goin on. but smiles anyway. positive thinking.

as for me, i spent my Christmas up north in Friedberg. particularly Andrinas place. and dont ask why i dont go there often. 7 hours train ride is not so fun. but the presence of friends will erase it all. we had our chirstmas eve dinner. it didnt go well as we planned but we had fun. i cooked "Pansoh" chicken rice. explain2-its actually chicken rice cooked in bamboo but i made it in a pot. well it kinda taste the same. and the others loved it. then came drinking time. had a few glases of wine as Tommy and his friend from camaroon had. then the whole clan came and kinda spoil the warm party we were having. danced sang converse... then *piang* a drunk guy droped his glas of alcohol. ok *chow chow* they left Tommys place (where we had the party). things went back to normal. we waited for midnight. than midnight came. and yes, i cried. its normal ok. try being me here. tough situation. wished everyone a merry christmas, hugged and wiped tears then the presents came. yey! opening time.. tadaa~

*eat eat*

*no idea wad i was doin*

*mascots!!*

christmas day... we invited people for lunch. and i amazingly made Laksa Sarawak. nyum2. my side emergency meal was also a hit. something like Sugerbung Savory rice and honey roasted chicken. the idea only came at 4am when me and And suddenly realised we dont haf anything much to serve cos i left a packet of Laksa paste at my place. so the meal began. than there was Malay tougue twister thought to a Chinese from China. haha. we had a great time. laughed till my jaws hurt. again and again.

*tempting??*

at dinner, i was already exahausted. the rest made dinner and i came to eat. dragged my aching back which was not massaged well. wrong person to ask to do it. after dinner, we had.. KARAOKE!! walaupun dengan suara yg tak seberapa.. its so fun to sing together. then desi and i danced poco-poco. hahaa. finally.. a partner for me =)

*Andrina and I Karaoke session*

things went on well, went for lunch at Frau Antons place the next day, walked Frankfurt in the cold icy air without resistance and 2 movies ended the night. next day, back to Landshut.

i may talk much on the food and stuff but the most important highlight is the people who spent these moments with us. it was really hard at first since nobody agreed to celebrate Christmas with us. well here i can say, i really thank Afiq, Bachok, Mat, Syuk and Acap for making this moment away from home a great one. 9 hours from Deggen is tiring yes i know but i really treasure them for being my friends. not forgetting dem friedbergers.. for making this magical event possible!

so thats Christmas 2008 for me. happy Birthday Jesus!! bless me...

signing off with the real meaning of Christmas

Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Thank God Its FRIDAY!!!

its been a long sad tiring week for me. and everything went in all directions. and someone had to hear me whine about my negatives the whole week. yes u were right. i need a catalyst! argh!! positive thinking .. be an optimist please!!

Monday
bad leg back ache. after the hectic weekend, the pain still stays on. long enough till today. overslept, missed engineering maths class, went on till konstruktion lecture, didn't bring along drawing board. hardly understood anything!

Tuesday
night of the week that i never look forward to. Tuesday nights stands for hostel-bar night. the time when German students drink till they get soo drunk.. breakaway from their serious personality and just do stupid stuff. yes really stupid. i have in mind that i shoud ignore anything that happens on this night. see, my room is in at the entrace of the block. so they will crowd around outside my room to smoke cos they cant smoke in the bar downstairs. and its so annoying when they ring and ring my doorbell. they'll press it for a few minutes and its around 130am. and im sleeping!! place cleared at around 2 and im already fast asleep. at 3am i awoke with an annoying noise buzzing in my head. the fire alarm went off and i thought they did it purposely on me. i sat in my room for half an hour trying to figure out the source of the high frequncy ringing. outside was already full. maybe those drunkards really had fun fooling me. i cant stand the sound and was already halucinating with stupid thoughts in my head. i text my friend "sabrun, kau dapat tido ke dgn bunyi nyaring ni??" and guess what happen? he called back asking me to go out. i got dressed and he came knocking on my door. outside was a really badass scene. 3 firetrucks, 2 police cars and an ambulance. ok time to open my eyes from my halucination. this was real. after a while, the ringinging stopped, we went back to our rooms. and my body was still 'ringing' with the frequncy of the bells!! so much for drunk students!

Wednesday
i was so indulged in my own surrounding, chatting online when i told my friend, "i think those people are drunk again. my kitchen seems so noisy" and the noise went on till i slept. see, my kitchen is always a hub for drinking. and they drink like theres no tommorow.

Thursday
woke up to go for class.. guess what? NO WATER!! theres only hot water from the water heater. so good luck with high temperature on the skin in a winter morning. i managed to survive. went out and saw a tracktor digging behind my kitchen. owhh ok. piping i guess. and it WAS about the PIPES!! no pipes no water, resulting in the chaos the night before. yes. my kitchen was a platform for the spectators to watch the free splurging fountain the night before. it was like a free poolparty. now that answers the noise. not the drinking.

Friday
all i can say is that i so thankful im here alive today with a renewed mood. cant wait to catchup with people at home. week off to Slazburg Austria =)

I SURVIVED THE 1st WEEK OF DECEMBER 2008!!
