Weather : pretty warm
Mood : buzzing
It was a day to remember, first of all it was jun xiang's birthday. Secondly it was also national day...so happy birthday to the merdeka boy. Went over to Kaufland and picked up a birthday cake. Went to gym with raaj straight away after groceries shopping.
During gym sessions, I felt unusually weak and my muscles are not really that ready to go that extra mile. Instead of carrying heavier weighs, I took lighter ones. Such disgrace! The six packs are still a distant dream...you can call me vain but I'm sure you would silently prefer a fit physique yourself. No pain, no gain!
Dinner was awesome with bak kut teh as the main highlight. Birthday cake was presented to the birthday boy with 21 candles on it. I can fondly remember the one and only birthday cake I received in Milan a week ago. From his face I can see joy. A gift of life and the very meaning of growing up...
We went to a pub in town with such spontaneity that it surprised me jun xiang is willing to join in as well. Drinking beer and puffing the smoke pipe, images of jon came back to me. We did that in the past. It was never the same again without him.
Happiest moment : discovering that Megan Fox is a woman afterall, when I got confirmation with the rest during beer sessions. (some girls are jealous, so to them megan fox is a transsexual!)
Saddest moment : the flashbacks of us drinking in the same pub.

30th August 2009
Weather : sunny but temperatures are dropping
Mood : lazy, unmotivated to study yet
A meant to be quiet day unfolded quietly with me practically doing nothing meaningful at all. Planned to attend church with jun xiang but went back to sleep instead. God is loving and forgiving. In Him I trust, or should I say I'm not ready for weekly church-going? I can't wake up suddenly and felt inspired to go attend church services.
The only "productive" thing I done was watching TVB dramas. DOTA soon follows as the next "productive" activity. All in all, a very "productive" sunday. I love days like this! Seriously I thank god for days like this because I am satisfied with what I have and for affording me the luxury to slack off like this. Nevertheless, it is really time to cut some slack and get my revision rolling!
Happiest moment : every single minute of today!
Saddest moment : such moment still gotta end somewhere somehow somewhat...

Weather : very windy and rainy
Mood : rather weary due to the crazy weather
Woke up by the noisy cars passing by hüttenstraße. It was really noisy even with the windows well shut. I guess Nick is gonna have some fun dealing with all the noise in the coming 6 months.
Nick the self proclaimed logical one committed a big blunder this morning when he went to weeze airport to pick up his actually-waiting-in-düsseldorf-international-airport friend, Eric. Its always good to get to know new friends, especially a nice guy like Eric.
Lunch at NANIWA! Gosh it took me like 3 attempts to finally get to eat a proper bowl of ramen. But sadly the more your yearn for it, the lousier the food quality you get served. Apart from saltiness, the ramen tasted ok. And throughout the lunch, the sky poured heavily. Bloody rain, go away! I don't bloody have a jacket and an umbrella. Blimey!
After lunch proceeded to st. anne's to pick up a few egg tarts as supper, dinner, and also breakfast for the following day. Such a productive day huh? I didn't freaking touch my revision. Exams are 3 weeks time away...bloody hell!
Happiest moment : Sat my ass in NANIWA...finally.
Saddest moment : My bowl of ramen sucked big time!

Weather : sunny but windy
Mood : dandy
Went out to düsseldorf for buffet dinner in Mongo's. It was intended as a farewell dinner for a recently known friend, Kezia. A very pricey restaurant but what the heck I have enough money to enjoy. So complain not...
Unexpectedly, the food was good and compatible to the price. In this case the texture quality of the meat and seafood are surprisingly fresh and tender. My top pick is the mango curry sauce and the least favorite is the mongo's ocean.
2 hours of frentic eating has certainly taken its toll on me as the stomach can only hold that much. The same situation again as the one in Milan. Walking is also a particular problem never mind running to catch the tram back home. So in the end turns out I have to put up a night at lim's house. The only difference this time, I have a sofa to sleep on instead of rock solid floor!
Happiest moment : the sofa is mine for the 1st time
Saddest moment : the sofa is not as comfy as I think

Weather : sunny
Mood : relaxed
Took the initiative to hit the gym again after 2 days of inactivity. Overdid things I guess as my shoulders are aching now as I type. Completely enjoyed the dinner nick cooked for me and jun xiang. If only I can master the taste better in my dishes...
Blood rushed to my head again as I said more than what I shouldn't have. I guess it will still come to this 1 day. Knew the answer, hence my reluctance to even try. I can't say I am totally relieved of the whole saga. But I know I'm doing something instead of nothing. A shrug of the shoulder, look at the bright side of things...
Happiest moment : the relief of spilling the beans
Saddest moment : the realization that my cooking needs improvement!

26th August 2009
Weather : sunny
Mood : neutral
Nick came back from his 2 weeks trip. Invited me and jun xiang to join him for dinner at garden eden in cologne. Met shu wei and hock seng on the way out to train station. Didn't know they are here already. For a moment in the bus I was thinking back of the days I just moved into Aachen with enoch and jon. Nostalgia...
After all the huff and puff of traveling to and fro, I'm back at where I am 90% percent of the time - in front of the comp. Nick msn-ed me asking me why I looked bothered during the dinner. So we ended up chatting about various issues. It ended with him encouraging me to give things a go.
Saddest moment : seeing the offline status of jon in my msn messenger.
Happiest moment : eating whatever types of food the korean buffet can throw at me.
