Let's eat!

Today is the day to spoil myself badddddly....

I had so much food today and I felt so happy. Even when I am typing this, I am helping myself with a box of Toffifee. Yummm...

I bought a jar of Cornichorns and I ate it with a can of Herring fish marinated in mustard sauce. Some people may not understand my love for fish. I came from Malaysia, where fishes are meant to be eaten and not as souvenirs. It's been a while since I have fish for lunch/dinner.

And not to mention, that jar of cornichorns will be gone soon in 3 days.

I have not been starving but I felt hungry all the time.

Aha...moving on, I am having butter cookies and I have finished my chocolates with lemon tea.

What shall I eat for dinner? Okay I shall make myself some bread with ham.

My friend said I have hidden emotional problem that can only be solved with food. I have not found the emotional problem in me yet.

Quantum Foodsysics

Use More Brain Power = Use More Calories

Use More Calories = Eat More Food

Hence, I am eating non-stop like nobody's business. Owh....food time.


I am so hungry right now.

My Hidden Dramas, My Life

I believe everything happened for a reason.

And yes, when I know the reason, it came in too late sometimes. Or maybe late enough to make my body shiver.

The moment I stepped out of Berlin Hauptbahnhof, I have expected whatever I have chosen to do/stay/eat/etc etc, do came in with a reason.

And those interesting things that happened to me would be:

1) The building that I stayed for the first few nights in Berlin used to be the the site of the old Reich Chancellery. Yes, the place where Adolf Hitler and his partner, Eva Braun committed suicide. Yeap, from all the areas in Berlin, I chose to stay there. I know Berlin is BIG, but I didn't know the history behind the guesthouse and buildings around it. And sharing the room with random strangers everyday is also an extra point to laugh for.

2) The Doener Shop downstairs (where I stay for the first few nights) is very popular in Berlin as a lot of well-known political leaders ate there before. The owner of the shop is the one who helped us to ring the bell and the staff there has been really helpful to us. My first Doener in Berlin was bought there.

3) My german language lecturer who also happens to be a lecturer in Humboldt Uni is a book fanatic. And he just won a bid for an original book by Albert Einstein which costs him a BOMB. And he will show it to us probably by next week and yes, I get to touch the book and take some photos with the quantum physic bible. Nice.

4) Did I mentioned that I was stuck in a demonstration while visiting some place in Berlin? Yeah, a few times actually. Demonstrations are everywhere here in Berlin. Peaceful demonstration.

5) I got to meet up with a friend in Berlin who happens to works in the German Historical Museum. Wonderful. He showed us around Berlin. Although it was quite brief but it was good enough for my friend and I to know more of Berlin as the both of us are like headless ducks in Berlin. Since then, Alexanderplatz is like my second home. Thank you thank you thank you. I still owe u a Doener. I know. Please set a date and we shall enjoy our Doener with a bottle of coke.

6) I have a list of BEST BUYs that I bought since I arrived here. A few of them should be dictionaries. Oh gawdddd...I bought 2 dictionaries and it costs me 3.95 and 2.95 Euros each. I am talking about those HUGE dictionaries. Ah, I am so happy. And I bought a new pullover for 9 Euros. Happy. And the best part is..I bought a german novel for 1 Euro. Double the happiness.

7) The house I am living right now is filled with things and utensils from the DDR period. With these things here, I am appreciating each and everything around me. This shows me that life is indeed short and I shall live my life to the fullest everyday.

8) My love for history and philosophy and poetry and a few other things which I would never even look at back in Malaysia is growing at a very healthy speed. I didn't know that sometimes I can be THAT philosophical. Which I find it's good. It's like a hidden talent or something.

As you can see, the list will grow longer each day and yes, I shall say that I am already adapting to my new life here.

Is sleeping a sin? I felt so

At 2.30pm I told my friend:

"Please...please wake me up after 10 minutes okay. Today the lovely sun finally came out and I wanna explore Berlin a bit before the weather turns ugly. But I need some nap. I think 10 minutes will do."

At 2.40pm, she woke me up:

"Hey wake up!!!!"

and I replied,

"I don't care if the sun is in or out today. I just wanna sleeeeeep. Please do not disturb me please. Sleep is very important, without a proper sleep I will turn into a monster. Sleeeeeeeeeep!!!"

Amazing, the things I will do for a good sleep. And I just woke up after 4 hours of snoring like nobody's business.

For the past few days, I have been struggling to keep my mind sane due to cramping my head for the right reason of refreshing my mind with loadsa german words till very late at night. And yes, I get little sleep and everyday without fail, I have been waking up very early.

And did you know there are 78 verbs in german for the word of movement (which involves the leg) like walking, galloping, walking like a duck, walking like bear, walking like a penguin, walking proudly, walking like a star...there are so many names for different kinds of walk which are non existant in english or other languages. Ahh...I love this language!

Serves me right. Now that the sun is gone and I am left with dark skies and very cold weather. I should have wake up and explore Oranienburger Tor.

Hmmmm...it's time to be more discipline this week. No afternoon nap.

Time to get smart now...Revision!!!

Oh god!

Since I woke up till now:

- I broke a plate
- I nearly burnt down the kitchen
- I burnt a ladle
- I nearly make the house burst
- I nearly break the sliding toilet door
- I nearly break the cupboard's door

Serious isn't it? What have gone into me?
And I am not allowed to touch anything till I am 100% normal.

Low

I am feeling so low low low low low low....at the moment.

Since yesterday to be exact. If it goes any lower, it will be lower than the Mariana trench.

What is the problem?

Sick

Yeap...sick.
I don't know how or when or what this happened. Maybe because:

A) Carried too many things for the past few days. I am talking about 20kgs everytime, from point A to point B.

B) Not enough sleep

C) Stress (Jeez...headache with the german grammar)

D) Ate the wrong food

I don't know...what's the reason, all I know is that:

I hate to be sick

Endlich...

Okay...I found the washing machine. With a lot of other things aswell. I got lost inside that bungalow. But me and my friend live outside the bungalow. In order to wash our clothes, we have to go inside and get ourselves lost for a while.

And my tenant is already match-making me with another tenant. My first day here is all about him. Match-making me in every single way. Oh gawdddd!!! Why am I so dumb to tell her that I am single. Jeez...dumbness!

She keep on saying, "Mocco ist noch ledig. Er hat keine Freundin. Mach Abendessen fuer ihn."

Yeah rite, as IF I am THAT nice to make someone I don't even know...dinner.

Ahh...I am so tired now. I move 25kgs of luggages (for the 2nd time) from Mohrenstrasse to Biesdorf and walk 350m to my rented place. And then move 3 piece of huge furniture in and out of the room and clean the house and wash the clothes with my bare hands! My back is killing me. Great! I am strong.

Now that my place is ready for guest. Welcome to my new home. It's perfect....Just that a bit far from the city centre.

I shall go and cook now. Hungry like mad.

My new home

Ohmmmmmm....


My new place is situated very far away from the city. I need to take about 45 mins of public transport to reach the city centre.

But that place is like a 5-star place to live. And the best part is I couldn't find the washing machine. What is it with my luck with washing machine?

Owh...I felt so uncomfortable right now.

Did I mention the area is filled with old people? Yesterday a very horny-looking old man with a black dog winked at me and he stalked me till I reached the S-Bahn stop. Jeez....creepy.

I think this is what I am going to do.

- leave the house early in the morning for class
- come back as late as I can
- the house is just a place to cook, sleep and clean myself

I thought the furthest place I have ever been to is San Francisco...but no...this place felt like the furthest place I have ever been to EVER.

I asked 10 Berliners where is this place. No one knows until they goggled it.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Moving...moving

Yeap...I am moving to my new home today. Only apart of it because we have already booked to stay in this guesthouse till tomorrow. But we will be moving a lil bit of our luggage to the new home today.

We have unpacked our luggage and guess what? Out of 40kgs, around 15kgs are food. I am talking about each of us. Which means 30kgs of food.

Crazy.

I think the food that my mum made me to bring is already 10kgs. And the pot that she wants me to bring with. It's a magic pot. Actually it's a food warmer.

Till then...I shall be posting up some new photos of my new home. There's a swimming pool there as told by that person who rented it out to me.
