Manicured Nails and the Milling Maschine

A week has already passed since I started my Grundpraktikum in Muehlbauer Roding. A week on the milling machine is enough to strain my feet for the whole 8 working hours. It's not the work that's giving me pain instead its the safety shoes. My feet aches like hell popping veins out of my feet. All those times we stood jadi penyibuk. Now I know why companies don't take a lot of Practical Students at once. It's actually interfering with there daily jobs and assignments.

Now that I'm back from Landshut, I brought back my own safety shoes. The one I used to wear during my GMI days. Hope it works better.

As a surprise, even in industire work, rules are not as strict as there are back home. When I did Vorpraktikum in Malaysia, there's the no watch, no long hair and no jewelery rule to follow during the machining period. Here, it's so opposite. There's punk head with more colors on a watercolor box on her hair and french manicured nails on the green machine. Oh well, seems like it does'nt interfere their work though.

Another story about Roding. There's no O2 line in the industrial area. But we have internet access and call lines back in the hotel. We will be spending the whole month living in a hotel =) free breakfast buffet every morning. The bad part is that we can't cook, and this place does not really have meals to offer. The only eating place that opens is the Doener shop which is really tiny and I think another pizza place and a cafe. It's really small much more like a ghost town, but supermarkets are everywhere. Maybe knocking on a door for dinner may be a good idea. haha..

 

But than again, I'm really grateful that I'm here. 

That's my bed =)

Hairy Solutions

I needed a trim.
Owh btw, yes I've highlighted my hair. But the result did not come out as obvious due to my dark hair.
 
Not so bright as I expected though. The white flakes are not dandruff kay.. they're snowflakes.

Ok. I needed a trim so bad. I have terrible split ends which always distracts me during my study. It's annoying and dry. I've rarely had problem with my hair since young but being in a foreign place with different conditions. Now I have dry hair with lots of split ends. =(

So there was a search for cheap saloons.. Standard saloon here charge a minimum of 35euro per hair cut which is soo expensive. And it's just a normal haircut without the wash and blow dry.

Than we found one which was 22 euro per hair cut. (cut and go). but I missed reading something on the sign.
I told the hairdresser to only trim the ends cos I had bad split ends. Than he brought me to wash my hair. In my head, ohh maybe he didn't know I only wanted a haircut. Running in my head was how much cash I had with me.

After cutting my hair he said, "after blow-drying we'll see how the cut goes. I'll go get the hair dryer".
He went to get a box of hair brushes and a hair dryer.

He asked me if I needed a hair clip. I was really puzzled. He handed me the hairdryer. Huh??
I had to blow dry my own hair for 22 euros. =(
So sedih.
 
We cut, You blow-dry 22euros

Rejoice Rejoice

from the title, it's so obvious that I'm done with my exams!! yay!! I managed 8 papers out of 14.. YEs it's suppose to be 14. All in German.

Uncountable sleepless nights and late wakings in the day. Last night I was super stressed till it was so hard for me to fall asleep. I tried clearing my mind but again in the next few seconds, another question of Material Tech. Sometimes I think it's scary how my brain works. Like when I was in Form 5, I would enter a realm of numbers before my sleep really kicks in. All sorts of numbers will come out and I'll start calculating them one by one. Last night I answered my questions in my sleep. It's so sad. At 530am when I was entering deep slumber, tiba-tiba rasa mauk kemeh.. Aishh so bermasalah.

Woke up still stressed. So I listen to Hillsongs before I went for my exam. Reminding me that God is still there.

Soo.. my holidays are starting. but I'm not exactly having my holidays. I'm starting my practical next week for 1 month in Mühbauer, Roding which is celah-celah Regensburg. Another 4 weeks of waking up at 5am, entering the doors at 7am. Won't have much time in my hands as of now.

I'm going to watch Avatar tomorrow.. (lambat crita). I did'nt have time to go see it before this and the only place they show movies in english is in Munich (and thats only one cinema). Finally I get to unwind =)

I thought it will stop snowing by now. I was so wrong. I came back a snow monster. It did not stop since I went out this morning. If I were free this holidays, I'd like trying out snowboarding. But than again... I guess I can wait till next winter.

Lots of things to plan.. and I'm hungry. Aightt.. better have my brunch.

Anyway, buy a Large McMenu and get a free cool mug. I got mine yesterday.. Loved it =)

Teman Baikku

 
Teman ku sudah sampai..
YAY!!

How BIG are yours?

When I though my problems we un-solvable, I know that there are others going through much worst. I read about a late boyfriend who is suppose to turn 20, I saw pictures of dead bodies scattering after the effect of the humongous earthquake, and then I saw the picture of a little boy looking deep into the eyes of Pastor Catherine during the Meeting Needs Kuching Project.

And my problems are... almost neglible. I may not suffer physically but inside me, theres always a worry about what there is to come. I try to put it away, knowing it's not as big as the problem of humanity.

We might not know what happens tommorow. Weather we would still be breathing or planning our gataway probably sitting in a miltary truck. All is unknown.

I always find myself thinking or planning about the future while I just sit here in the present. What determines the future is now is'nt it? *reality check*

Thank God that this 3 weeks are coming to an end. 2 more papers to go.

Smile for it.

Another Day

Awake at 12pm. Slept at 3am. Noise at door at 4am.

Knocking on window at 4am. I think she was drunk. But she could not stop knocking on my window. So annoying. Somemore calling Monji. Hello miss, Monjis room is on the other alley. I HAD to show my face to get it staright that I'm an asian girl and not some Tunisian guy.

Kacau my sleep. As if the happy discussion on my door front is'nt enough. Just because your exmas are over does not mean that I cannot get my sleep. URGH!!

Owh I know why that girl was knocking. My lights were on the whole time. You know why? Because my friend was make 'hantu samar-samar' impressions in front of my toilet at 3am. Then he left. Of course I had to sleep but I kept looking that way and imagining the 'hantu'. Stupid. My Imagination went hairwire. So I did not turn off my lights till 6am I think. zzt.. fail.

I need to tame my imagination.

This was the reason why I slept late. We celebrated Fazs 22nd birthday. And my cake baking succeeded!! I was over the moon. It was moist and sweet and yummy. Usually when I bake cakes, it becomes burnt and dry. I suck at making cakes. As in cakes like sponge cakes. Cheese cakes have my stride on them.

 I'll show pictures now. Happy Birthday Faz!
 
  

The deco was from the birthday boy himself. I just made the cake. It was Moist Choc Cake. My icing talents failed me though. Did not come out smoothly. But it tasted good anyway.

We had Nasi Lemak Sambal Sotong and Lemon Chicken.
This is my lunch from last nights leftover.
 
 
Look like Nasi Lemak or not? =)

Mixed

I don't really know what I'm feeling of how I'm feeling at this moment.

So I decided to change my background. How is it? I blocked out of what I should choose. So far I'm settling for this. I would like something that looks like it came out of a scrapbook but I cant any that I like. Please suggest a website which I can get it from.

I think my brain and my body just shut down. I'm so tired, I'm so stressed. I feel like a stale bread and I have no idea where that came from.

Have a nice day everyone.
Schönes wochenende.

All man should be as such

I think all man should have
  • wisdom
  • success
  • creativity
  • brains
  • loving
  • well mannered
  • self control
 A woman should just be average.

If all man were as such, the world would be a better place for both party.

10 reasons why I think a man such be so.

1. Smart = Successful = Money
2. Well mannered = Responsible
3. Smart = good genes = Smart children
4. Wisdom = Good Family
5. Smart children will produce a generation of smart people
6. Responsible man will make them better husbands and fathers
7. When a man is successful, he can provide a better life for his family
8. self control would avoid domestic abuse, alcoholics, womanizers and gamblers, thus the end result = a happy family
9. creativity.. the opposite would just be plain boring
10. Loving, because love is the Greatest of them all

So how about us women?
I'm not saying we should just sit back and boss around. A woman should cater to the family needs.

If the man is a douchbag and just sits around lazing and gambling like all irresponsible man nowadays, we get hardworking women who are
  • often tired at the end of the day
  • procrestinate on housework
  • no dinner on the table or breakfast in the morning
  • has more than enough stress at work and at home = depression = become an annoyance (no woman should be an annoyance)
  • children with  fathers genes = not so smart nor hardworking = fathers attitude
  • nagging activity
  • have enough money = no money for beauty = unpleasent to eyes
  • back from work late at night
  • tired to please partner = partner looks for another partner
Thus, we know the end resut of all this.

But too bad not all man are as such. This world would be a better place.

Puff coated curry = Curry puffs

I always find it funny how people name things. Like a curry puff or karipap for exmaple. (Is it spelled as so?) Pap the curry. But when the filling is not consisting of the curry family, it's still called a karipap ex: karipap sardin. I was wondering what it was. Is it kari sardin of just the tomato sauce sardin which is red in color. Sometimes I wonder too much. Anyway, I still love curry puffs.

We miss eating currypuff. So the only thing w could do was to make it. I'm not much of a flour based delicacy person, which means I do not know how to make anything puffy or that includes flour other than making a cake. But we do have our own Flour based specialist. Jon Doel Madden.

My duty was just to make the curry filling.

 
best result would be from the master himself. Mine sucked like a shipping rope.

Everyone trying their best.
Note: end of table playing poker
 
wee.. fried Currypuffs

yummy results
the product by 12 guys and a girl

Ye dik, nak beli brape karipap? Ni sedap ni bru angkat dari kuali. =)
