Restless

It has been 2 weeks since I am here.

Right now I have the urge to walk down 5 floors and then walk back up again to hear myself breathing out loud, to work my legs. I miss my fast beating heart.

I am feeling so uneasy without exercise. I, don't feel fit. And weak.

Dropped by at NettoMarkt earlier but left empty handed. When I reach the fifth floor, where I live, I did not pant to catch my breath and I actually feel good.

So, should I walk down ? My mind say YES, DO IT!
Maybe after a few more exercises.

I used to cycle about 15 minutes 4-5 times a week at home, which explains my current restless-ness.

Green Tea Latte

my favourite all time at Starbucks.

Leider, they do not have Green Tea latte here which is sad news for me.

Nevertheless, I have my very own barista Mr J to make me one today. It taste SO good, just like Starbucks'! I might be bias.

Mr J took so much effort to get the ingredients despite him having a flu. I feel so loved. 

"Oh green tea latte, sipping you today makes my day :) "

Finger Nails

There I was on the S-bahn , heading somewhere in town.

Then, a conductor walked around to check on the passengers'

finger nails! 

A disciplinary conductor =.=
Sounds ridiculous don't you think? I find it to be one.

My nail was neatly cut few days ago. In my mind, I was glad I actually cut my nails before the spotcheck! LOL. Sounds high school-ish.

I had alil argument with the conductor as one of my nails was sticking out alil and I got fined from it! Gah. Wanted to run away  when the conductor was trying to catch one kid.

"Oh dear brain, what is the meaning of this dream? " 

Concidence : Mr J came home with a cut on his finger. I am not too sure if I had this finger nail dream before or after he showed me his plaster :/

An onion

Emotionless. 

# This is how I want to appear (at the moment) and I am one - I don't like the feeling of being vulnerable due to some things I've been through. 

Nasi Kukus

Translated as steamed rice.

I would recommend you to try "Kak Nora's Nasi Kukus Ayam Berempah" , its the yummiest nasi kukus I have tried so far.

The steamed rice, the fried marinated chicken, the acar, the sauce. Oh! Heaven! Something to die for.
Finger licking good. The portion is rather big and the taste, satisfying!

I was sad (and still am) that I could not taste it one last time before I came here. So if you happen to eat it, take an extra bite for me aite.

You may find below comments about the nasi kukus from the blog below:

The Avengers

So we were watching Deutsch TV at night and I tried my best to catch what they're talking about. But with images and body languages, I could guess what was going on.

As time pass, we browse through all the television channels and there was nothing interesting on air so we decided to watch a movie instead.

The Avengers! 

Its a very old movie, and I just watched it.

When the movie started for the first 15 minutes, I felt like I could not understand English at all. Lol.
I guess my mind was in the midst of transitioning from Deutsch to English. My first weird encounter :/

Overall Avengers was alright with humors throughout the movie. I wish there was more of Hulk! The Hulk was so amusing and I understand now why so many people was talking about him on Facebook when the movie was released.

Hawk-eye was so overly confident if you ask me. Tony Stark, sarcastic, as always ; still my favourite character. Robin (character from How I Met Your Mother) was starring in the movie! I can't take her character seriously though.

A good way to end a Sunday night :)

PS: Thai advertisements are hillarious! Check them out.

Garlic

An extra taste I love to add when I am eating rice; a new eating habit I took in recently.

During dinner, dad and mum usually would put garlic and chilli and mix them with soysauce in the sauce plate. Dad would usually offer but I would decline.

At a bak kut teh lunch with colleagues, my eyebrow cringed as I saw Terry mixing some garlic, chilli and thick soysauce in her rice. Being curious & confused, I asked her why is she doing that. LoL. Terry said I should give it a try . Its gonna taste REALLY good.

Alil reluctant (with face expression showing) to try at first but Terry was so convincing. There and then, my rice eating habits have changed.

If there's garlic and/or chilli, my ritual are as below:-
1. Mix garlic, chilli and soysauce in the sauce plate
2. Pour mixture in my rice
3. Stir and ensure they're segregated well

Though the above ritual is recommended for bak kut teh , I do it every time anyway for my meals with rice :P

Even today when I was heating up rice, I decided to fry garlic and onion with it. Taste super good!  Schmeckt lecker!

Hobby

- something we talked about over beer.

It made me realise that I do not have a hobby for a very long time since I started working. How sad, I know.

Well I used to like blogging; about everything and anything but it was tiring at work, I couldn't find the motivation to do it. When I reach home , I just want to lay on the couch and watch television with mummy dearest.

Sleeping was my best reward , and it still is.

Since I am be here for studies, I would have time to look for a new hobby and engaged it more.
Maybe something with flowers? Do I have green fingers like dad?
Or try to jog at the lake in the park? The park here is beautiful! I love gazing at the ducks swimming their way through the lake. It's so peaceful to me.

So new goal this year : Search for a new hobby!

Mooncake

festival falls on 30th September this year and I won't be at home to keep my parents company.

Mum suggested to decorate the room with paper lantern.
The looks on my dad was alil heartbreaking for me to handle :(

"Dearest mooncake in the fridge, please keep my heart warm aite. Don't let homesick strike me too soon? "

PS: A running sushi buffet over lunch cost me 2 KG's but it went away the next morning. Phew.

Altstadt Festival

A local celebration to welcome Autumn (der Herbst).
I wasn't aware of this festival until last week when Mr J receive a sms from an old friend to meet up.

There were locals wearing traditional clothes, banners up in the city. No live performance or whatsoever, just everyone gathered together and have a meal mit Bier, natürlich. Too bad we had a quickie dinner coz the food looks really yummy.

It was nice to see a familiar face again in the town and meeting his gal :)

Love the night view in Nuremberg, so pretty here. Shall post up a picture the next time.

PS: I had my first Currywurst which is a typical German food that I have not tried over my last stays here (at least I dont remember having one xD).

I brought Autumn

to Nuremberg.

It was sunny the days before I arrive here - 12 September. Bummer.
Ms Autumn here has been kind to me and I am thankful for that. Alil windy and rainy at times but still cosy in the night.

Growing up in a hot country makes me prefer hot weather though I prefer the cold air conditioning.
You could grab your sleeveless shirt, t-Shirt, shorts, skirts , put them on and off you go.
I have to get used to wearing layers of clothes before heading out, otherwise I'll be trembling in cold. Brrrr.

PS: I am really tempted to buy ALL the pretty scarfs I see here. Argh! But I have resisted it with success so far. Kudos to me LOL.

Mc Donald's

Ola! I know, I should have other interesting stuff to write about instead of Mc Donald's. But my mind is thinking about it.

McD here, do not serve ketchup or chilli sauce with the burgers! Why? My McChicken doesn't taste the same anymore. Pouts.

Oh, speaking of which , I miss my chilli sauce very much although I don't eat fast food that often back home. It's that taste that perfects my burger you know. I was supposed to pack chilli sauce in my luggage before I came here but I couldn't find time to grab them from McD back home; which was 5 minutes drive away from home.

Mayonnaise, is all that we get to eat with fries here. No refill Coke also!

Ok, more random stuff coming up. Soon. Maybe not.
