The World Inside Me

What gets me excited?

2013-07-19T11:35:00.000+08:00

Here is what gets me excited .. PRESENTS and packages, i love it how inside the box will be full of goodies and surprises!

Guess where this package came from? KOREAAA :D

My awesome awesome best korean friend Eunji sent me a package few days back and it finally arrived today, is it me or the mail man has become much more efficient?

While i was having lunch the bell rang and i went to see who was it.. and it was the POSTMAN! The minute i got my hands on the package i was literally jumping around the house with joy and excitement! Yes i love packages that much, don't you? its so FUN unboxing something :D

Package #1

here is little Cute 2NE1 card and behind Eunji wrote me a message :)

Besides getting excited over packages, you have to know i have an obsession with lipsticks. I can never get enough of it, all i ever look for when it comes to make up are lipsticks, lipsticks and more lipsticks!

In my opinion, lipsticks are easier to apply on rather than the whole drill where you have to put foundation > concealer>powder>eyeshadow>ect on your face, its easier to just apply lipstick on BUT i still love the process of make up!

For some, people who do not like make up and think that girls who uses make up is because of self unsatisfactory or for some sort of other reason..they are wrong.

For me i am happy with my looks and i just love make up, the whole process of it! Experimenting with make up is just a whole bunch of fun! I don't think boys will understand this.. mm well maybe some :)

Moving on, here are my new babies!

from left chosungah (its in the sugar lime color and it helps moisturize your lips, i will write more when i have tried it out myself :), Second one is Masqueology Magic Lipstick (its in the color yellow and apparently when you put it on your lips it will turn to your natural lip colour..again more explanation later) and finally my 3 concept eyes lip lacquer that i have been dying to get my hands on and FINALLY i've got it, i am super duper excited to try it out :D

My pretty new lipsticks!

I've also received some hydrating mask!

and finally these are gifts for my mom from Eunji!

(My mom says thank you Eunji and Eunji's Mom) :D

A THANK YOU MESSAGE FOR EUN JI:

I know i initially just asked for the lip lacquer and i was a little shock when i saw a parcel coming in, as you can see i am soooooo excited, so thank you very very much i love all of it and thank you on behalf of my mom too :D WE HAVE TO SKYPE SOON!

I miss our sleepovers, come back to malaysia! <3 p="">

SARANGHAE <3 nbsp="" p="">

-----------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see i've been getting a few packages these pass few weeks, ok not few but just 2! Enough to get me really excited!

Package #2 came all the way from Germany!

if you haven't know i was in Germany for a year and my host mom sent me these goodies for my belated birthday :D

Living in germany for 1 year has definitely made me a HARIBO freak, i can never get enough of it esspeically when you live in Germany, they are so many chocolate and gummybears and it is really cheap! (yes i did got fatter after my 1 year stay but i lost all of it) ahha..

My sweet awesome host mom sent me some haribo's, a birthday car, cup, a pair of earing and a really cute tiny mirror!

(P.s there were initially 3 packets of haribo but i already ate one heheeh can't help myself!)

Isn't this mirror so PRETTY? *_*

My host mom has a doctor's handwriting, it took me a few tries to understand it and it is in german!

i still can't guess certain words.. hmm.. a little help please?

Message to my host mom:

Liebe mami, DANKE DANKE DANKE für das süßes Geschenk, ich liebe es und ich liebe dich!

hoffentlich können wir bald nochmal sehen, ich vermise dich und alles in Deutschland, Liebe grüße Minnieeeee xx

I shall give a more detailed update about my lipsticks soon :D

ciao bella!

Minion Craze!

2013-07-16T19:44:00.000+08:00

The whole Malaysia has gone mad with Mcdonald's Minion Toy! Since when has anyone gone to mcdonald just to queue up for their Happy Meals? Well thanks to despicable me, it has brought the inner child out of all adults. The reason why Mcdonald is sold out with these toys are because of the adults, yes adult and not kids that are queuing up for the toys! I can't even remember the last time i even bought a happy meal, that was like ages AGO! Today was my first in many years, yes im one of the crazies who went early in the morning for breakfast at mcdonalds to get my happy meal with two of my buddies Yvonne and Ivan :) I haven't been waking up early since holiday started and today was the day i woke up for this cute little fella here..

Look at the queue at 10am..

Apparently, they came out with a new memo that they can't sell the toy alone but people can only buy it with a happy meal so look how many meals we had to get for 4 minions?

My mcdonald pancake breakfast, i'm hungry nooowww after looking at this picture..

My happy meal toy!

Say Hi to this little fella!

P.s my sister took it away and it is now in her room pfft im just a loving sister!

i know this post was suppose to be up last week but i just haven't got around to post it up till now ;D

xx.

BA-NA-NA!

Acme bar and coffee

2013-07-12T14:31:00.001+08:00

Here is my delayed post of my trip down to Acme Bar and Coffee for Aina's Birthday!

We were deciding if we should try food foundry or Acme Bar and Coffee (ABC) and we decided on this. If you don't know Aina and Ivan are my best friends of 5 years and.. still counting :)

The atmosphere in ABC is really nice and classy, love the decoration in it.

It is located in Kuala Lumpur so we had to do a little driving down to the city, Ivan nice as always drove us down :D heee thankyou ivan for always driving!

I manage to take a picture of the Menu. Yes as you can see the sophisticated names of each meal, i was having a hard time deciding what to eat.. The food was good but it is a little overprice though, but it is KL we are talking about so i guess its acceptable or normal?

This was the Buffalo Wings we shared, it was Good!

This was what i ordered, i didn't know what to choose so i just picked something safe to eat. Spaghetti Bolognese, tasted good, it wasn't so heavy and just nice (P.s luckily i didn't have any breakfast that morning or i probably wouldn't be able to finish it) but than again how different can spaghetti taste?

Aina picked the lamb, i didn't try it but it looks really good. It was a really really big portion though so if you are not a big eater i suggest to just share it with your partner or friend :)

Ivan chose to eat Ostrich. It doesn't sound so appetising but it wasn't so bad, not my favourite kind of meat though.

Now this was the best part of whole meal, Sizzling Brownies with Oreo Ice Cream.

It tasted good, it looks good and it even sounds good!

You know how usually brownies are really really sweet that sometimes (it causes me sore throat, i'm not much of a sweet tooth) ? But this brownie was not too sweet and just perfect! I actually took a video and if you want to have a look at how it sizzles check it out on my instagram (@cherminnrawks)!

The gorgeous birthday girl, Aina!

HAPPY BIRHTDAY!

All 3 of us together from left Ivan, Me and Aina :)

it's good to have my best friend back from UK, although whatsapp keeps us not very far apart. Thank you for todays technology!

xxx,

till then.

닭갈비 at Uncle jang's

2013-07-06T23:34:00.002+08:00

Spent the day with the family watching random shows on TV and than dad decided to take us out for dinner. Ninn and i decided to take our parents to Uncle Jang (it was mostly ninn's idea) since my parents have never tried Dak Gal-bi before. This is probably my 4th time at Uncle Jang's. If you don't know what is is uncle Jang it is a Korean restaurant that serves Dak Gal-bi. Apparently it was created in 1960's where it is served in inexpensive food in small taverns. Dalk gal-bi is made out of marinated diced chicken, chilli pepper paste based sauce and sliced cabbage, rice cake, onions and others.

If you haven't try it, and you like korean food. This is a definite place to eat but warning its better if you don't shower first because the minute you walk in you will be hit by a strong smell from the chilli pepper paste sauce, its strong that it can make you cough, your clothes would also smell of it but the food is good!

Can't go to a korean restaurant without having Soju!

I don't think Soju is my thing though. I didn't really like the taste of it unless it's mix with something, teehee!

This is how it Dak-galbi looks like before it is cook. As you can see the tons of cabbages on the hot plate, underneath those cabbages were the chill paste and diced chicken.

This is how it looks like when it is cooked. We had sweet potato, rice cake, ramen and cheese on our dalk-gal bi!

My Parents with the cute apron they had prepared in case the sauce splashes onto our clothes.

People usually eat it with lettuce wrapped and dak gal-bi in it, it's really good!

I just had it but looking at the pictures im already hungry again! ^o^

in terms of price i guess its not so bad.

They count of heads so 1 person is Rm19 (normal)

theres another one that is hot Spicy Rm22 (p.s its already spicy enough in my opinion, i can't imagine if we had chose the hot spicy one)

The side dishes like ramen, sweet potato, rice cakes they cost about Rm6/each

There were 4 of us but we ordered for 3 person.

Knowing my family we all have small stomach and the serving was HUGE.

usually after we have this we would order Fried rice but this was already enough for us.

They have a few branches, the one i know is in Ampang and the one we ate was at Bandar Puteri Puchong right next to Giant.

If you have tried it, leave a comment and tell me your experience in uncle jang =)

안녕! ㅋㅋ

Parent Trap

2013-07-06T01:48:00.000+08:00

Does anyone remember this movie? It's been ages since i've last watched it and i finally took the courtesy of downloading it and watching it again with my family.

Can you believe how fast as time flown by? The last time i watched this was when i was really young i don't even remember how old was i when i first watched it but i know i loved it.

These were the time when Lindsey Lohan was innocent and Justin Bieber did not exist yet. I wonder if they will ever re-film this movie, i would definitely watch it.

Disney use to produce really good and amazing movies but these days all the movies are just not as good anymore except for Monster's University and Despicable Me. Actually the cartoons are getting much better but not the what do you call it? with human acting in it? blah. Hollywood movies? oh well.

It would have been nice if i was in this movie it was just too perfect *hearts*

Those of you who do not know this movie, i'll link the synopsis below:

Identical twins, separated at birth and each raised by one of their biological parents, discover each other for the first time at summer camp and make a plan to bring their wayward parents back together.

IMDb

If you haven't watch it, you definitely should!

Spend time with your family ;)

Graduation & Prom

2013-06-16T01:25:00.000+08:00

Yes.. thats me in my graduation outfit. I, Cher Minn have officially graduated from the Canadian International Matriculation Program (CIMP)! This also marks me being here for almost a year since i got back from Germany, oh how i miss it there. CIMP has been the most dramatic and adventurous experience i have ever had, it is definitely a good and bad one. Nothing is perfect after all, in life there is always ups and downs but at the end of the day we move on. We can't live for the past, we can remember the past and live for the future!

Before graduation..

PROM!

I have never had prom, not in high school or when i was in Germany. This was my first prom and i must say that it was really really fun but it was just too short. It was really fun getting ready for prom, i wore my mom's vintage dress which is absolutely FA-BU-LOUS and my silver shiny heels, what more can a girl ask for? ;)

Guess who got nominated for prom queen? Actually a lot of us got nominated, most of my friends but they pulled out at the last minute =.=' and by the time i wanted to do that it was too late. I didn't regret it though, it was definitely a good experience. I can't believe i cat walk to the stage, i thought i was going to trip, fall or something embarrassing would happen but thank goodness that didn't happen, it was definitely fun and i am honoured to be nominated, thank you to those who nominated me :')

The day ended with a lot of pictures taken and a fun sleepover at my house :)

xx.

Videography

2013-04-27T13:59:00.001+08:00

Lately i've been having this new hobby that i picked up, first it was photography but now i've decided to try videography, Finally after so many procrastination Amanda and I decided to do a music video cover after having a very lazy sunday, its my first time so it's not perfect but i tried :D More to come, you know the old saying 'practice makes perfect'. I hope you guys enjoy this awesome video cover by Amanda Foo

Please do share if you like it, thanks for your support :)

Photography

2013-04-11T10:17:00.001+08:00

Lately I've been having this mood to do photo shoots and I did some for my sister and eunji, below are some pictures that came out well, they may not be professional but I'm still learning, more photoshoots to come and I'm excited for it! Sister's pictures were taken in the playground and at home, it was pretty last minute, I took out dad's old camera and bought a new tripod, yes full on photography mode!

Hypermarket!

2013-04-08T00:36:00.003+08:00

After months, i have the sudden urge to blog again. I was suddenly inspired by xiaxue and a few other bloggers who were recommended by Esther, so thank you!

It's been an interesting sunday. instead of lazing at home my family and i went for breakfast. We were suppose to have some good food in KL but all the restaurant we wanted to go to were close, yes CLOSED and we drove all the way there, luckily the traffic was clear so it didn't take us long to drive back, in the end we just decided to have breakfast at sunway. The day got interesting when we went to do some grocery shopping at TESCO. Since dad had extra loads of points on his credit card we loaded two trolleys with snacks and other grocery stuff that we need, it took us an hour or more to load those two trolleys. When we were about to pay my mom re-confirm if it was okay if we use those points and the lady was BLUR, earlier on we had already ask the information and they said it was okay, after waiting for a little while, one of the supervisors came and told us they canceled the contract, like SERIOUSLY LQKSKS:SQLLSQ ?! It took is forever just to search what we want and now this! In the end we just pushed they trolley aside and walked out with 2 items, from TWO TROLLEYS to TWO items, tsk!

THROWBACK< yesterday we went to GIANT to check if we could use the points and they said Yes, this time it work.

So after being annoyed and walking out of TESCO we decided to go to GIANT to do our grocery shopping, this time we left with TWO TROLLEYS, things in giant were actually much more expensive compared to TESCO, odd.The smell in giant is just horrible, makes my hair stink 'of giant'. HAHAHA okay that was lame. The amount of stuff we bought made us look like we were feeding 10 people, it was pretty funny cause the cashier was like "woah banyak barang!" I'm a happy girl now cause we have a whole load of snacks in the pantry, finally we have a well stocked kitchen :)

Met two high school friends in Giant and Tesco, was pretty weird seeing them again. I would elaborate more but i think i'll just keep it to myself ;)

CHEERIOOO!

I can't believe it's already 1 Year, this is insane, how fast can the time fly? PLEASE STOP TICKING! I wish i can have the best of both worlds but that isn't going to happen unless i can have half of me in Germany and Half in Malaysia. Part of me is happy to be going home and part of me is sad because i don't know when i would be able to come back again (Hopefully soon and i have a reason cause i need to practice my German if not i'll definitely forget it). The good thing is some of my friends promised to visit me :-

Language Class + ECT

2012-03-18T03:41:00.006+08:00

HEYHO!

i've been so busy lately that i don't really go online as often as before but i still do of course i can't keep myself away from the computer ;D

So if you don't know, i took 1 month away from school and currently attending a German language class instead, which is so much more fun then being in school because i get to learn something NEW and UNDERSTAND what i learn. Al though not everyone in my class seemed friendly but i made friends with another aunty (she's from belgium so she's sort of french, Super nice!) i don't know why but i get a long with Aunty's well :-S and then another girl name Elisa and she's from Columbia she's doing an Au pair program here, Au pair program is like Being a nanny + you get paid and you study here in another country. 'Google it if you want to know more about it'.

If you want to know more about the language school i am in Please click:

German Language School

P.s they should pay me for promoting them ;-P

The other good thing about going to the language school is i get a monthly train card and that means i don't have to keep paying for the train ticket every time i get on the train. So i've been really busy lately meeting up with friends and going shopping, Yes i am broke!

That was actually the old news and the quick update of what i have been up to.

Today i was at Korean School (koreanische schule) in Frankfurt for the 3rd time and it was fun to learn something new even though i had some trouble understanding when majority of the time they were speaking in Korean but they do speak in German too which is good because i actually can understand that language *proud*

Korean Worksheet we did today ;-)

Frankfurt Korean School! (Peurangkeupu reuteu hanguk hakgyo)

KimBab (김밥) - Best kimbab ever, it was really delicious. Talking about that i'm craving for some, i didn't get to buy some today :'( Keine Zeit!

This was last saturday with Koharu and Julia in the City shopping!

Koharu is from Japan and she was in the same exchange program with Julia in Korea, she's is so Kawaii! (귀엽다) ㅋㅋㅋ.

and TODAY i was having lunch with Aleyna at a chinese restaurant and then we went to her house and played some wii with her cute little brother and and took banyak banyak gambar ;D

Take #1

okay that's about it for now ;-)

뽀 뽀!

2012-02-29T16:09:00.002+08:00

There are so many regrets i have and sometimes i wish there were such thing as a time machine. i'm going to be 19 in a few months time. Man, time past way too fast! Please slow down. I think the older you get the faster the time goes by. I could still remember me in my Kindergarden years how i miss those times, free from worries and no stress! Now all i can think about is College, Future, Earning Money to avoid my Parents from being stress.

PRS New Building

2012-02-16T21:36:00.005+08:00

♬ Hallo hallo hallo i'm back with more stories to tell ;)

Last saturday i was at the school opening since Vicky wanted to see what the new school building of Phillip-Reis-Schule looked like and during the first week at the new school i haven't been around much so i didn't realize it was so cool, big and so pretty compared to the old school which was just really really .. not pretty!

BEFORE :

This is just one part of the school, see the graffiti?

AFTER:

The Main hall, looks like an office right? (Sorry for the blur quality)

LOCKERS! ( but i don't have one cause i don't need one :P)
I think this is the PM-Action room, where you can chill, damn cool right? (@Cherminnrawks)
This is like an empty plot in the middle of the school building.

The main entrance to the school ;D

The Sports hall 1 (see on the left there's this wall climbing thingy there)
Sports hall number 2!

The School has a really modern concept. It doesn't look like a school as a matter of fact. It looks more like a University. Inside it's all really Grey and neutral colored which i find it really nice but not for a high school, maybe for a university. The toilet has a really striking color though. Girls > Green (YES of all colors they picked green well if they wanted to make it stand out, it does). Guys > Orange. Unfortunately i didn't take any pictures of the toilet, there's also the theatre hall which is huge but i didn't take any picture and also the class room :S Maybe next time? ;)

Mouth-watering-delicious!

2012-02-11T04:47:00.006+08:00

"Who are you to judge the life i live? I know i'm not perfect and i don't live to be but, before you start pointing fingers, make sure, your hands are clean first."

Lately, i've been browsing through my old post and i realized my writing hasn't really change. I'm still the same and i feel like my english has gone worst it's probably cause everything is in german here so my kepala became a little german too. Haha I'm even sometimes thinking in German language which is odd but when you're here for 7 months that is bound to happen.

Since i have the sudden mood to blog i'm going to update all of you my old news, Those who probably have me as a friend on Facebook and follow me on twitter will know what's been going on in my life and those who aren't well you'll find out now :D

|...........|

Last Saturday, i had a mini Chinese New Year Celebration with all of my dearest asian, half asian friends. It was a potluck so everyone of us had to contribute something to EAT. Before the cooking started we had to pick up Edmund from Friedrichsdorf Bahnhof (Train Station) It was a freezing cold morning even the bottle of water in vicky's car was ICED. Yes it was literally a bottle of ice. [Sorry no picture ):] When we arrived home the cooking begin, Edmund helped a bit he cooked "egg+tomato sauce+tomatoes" i made the "wanton" and steamed the "siew mai" (a Dim Sum Dish) and of course RICE.

Yes, i actually cooked this ^_^

Photography by : Cher Minn (@Cherminnrawks)

Look at that, it looks and even TASTE good.

Karin brought some Japanese fried prawns with mayonnaise and OMG it was mouth-watering-delicious! (Picture above *drools*)

I'm not usually a Vege person but this one is too good to past ;D

Belle brought salad and pork (chinese cooking style) Which was really delicious too. Talking about this, is making me hungry again. *tummy grumbles*

Okay, this picture doesn't really show you how good it is but yeah. You get the picture.

When everyone was seated we just stared at the food for a moment because everything looked so good that we don't know which to start first, i just had to have everything at one go. Yes, it was that good! *Huge puppy eyes*

i actually have more to write but i have to save that for the next post cause now i have to skype with Sangie <3

CIAO BELLA!

Confidence and Independence

2012-02-09T04:31:00.007+08:00

"An umbrella can’t stop rain but allows us to stand in rain,the same way confidence does not bring success but it gives power to face the challenges."

I think today has been one of the happiest day i've had so far. Auf Deutsch : Ich bin heute sau gluecklich! If you don't know me then you probably should know i'm not one of the most confident person. I'm pretty much scared to do something alone and always have to have someone stick by me. I'm afraid of being lost. I'm afraid of taking risk. I'm afraid of being alone and not being able to find my way back. But there has to be a day where i have to break free of that cause living in this world is taking a lot of risk and i think today is that day. I know i should have break free from this from the day i arrived here but i guess i'm a late bloomer. But it doesn't really matter cause as long as i can bloom that's what counts! ♬

It snowed yesterday so today the roads were filled with light snow it was really pretty with the snow. Surprisingly it wasn't as cold as last week but still cold since i had to walk all the way to school. Which was btw a 20 minute walk. My school moved to a new building so it's not a 5 minutes walk anymore. The old building was really ugly and old filled with graffiti but the new school is really pretty. They have this modern outlook it actually doesn't look like a school. It looks more like a university or office. Which is pretty cool. I'll try to take pictures next time but it would be weird. i'm not sure if im even allowed to bring a camera because we are not allowed to bring phones to school but nobody cares. After school, i took the train to rödelheim ffm. That when when i first got my confidence cause i've never really took the train alone all the way to frankfurt. Plus i had to find the German centre myself which i have never been too but have looked a far. At first i was lost but then i started opening my eyes bigger and found the place that i was suppose to walk too ~phew~ . The minute i got in to the Centre i was overwhelm by the people in it. There were so many international students, (P.s i saw koreans ;D) I felt like i have finally came to the right place. Cause then i'm not the only one who has trouble speaking german. They were facing the same problem as me. The guy who worked in the reception was pretty cute too ;) There were also lots of cute guys there ;D Moving on, i had to take the A2 and B1 test unfortunately, my grammar was horrible BUT the guy said i could speak and understand well *thumbs up* for me. What's good is i can speak and understand just that my grammar needs some brushing up! So i start in March and i'm looking forward to it! Hopefully i'll find some friends :-S

Then i called Mami and decided to visit her in Bad Homburg at the hospital that she was living in. I was practically jumping with joy when i saw her. Had some delicious cake and latter machiato with her. Talked about my wonderful day then Steffi came. We shopped around for a bit. Bought stuff that we needed and then finally headed home. It was a really busy and wonderful day though ;D

More stories to come, old stories but till then

Chinese New Year in Frankurt

2012-01-31T03:19:00.002+08:00

Being home alone and doing nothing all the time is so damn boring. I can't wait till i "maybe start" my germany classes. So i was having the weekend home alone most of the time cause the others were away somewhere. Luckily, on saturday i had ready made plans. I met Alison and Jimmy with their cute little daughter Joelle at the BH Train Station! If you don't know who is Alison or Jimmy , They are friends of mine. I met Alison in Goethe-Institut Malaysia where i studied german and from there i met her husband and daughter. We took the train to frankfurt then transit from another station to Neu-isenberg where the restaurant that we were suppose to go as Deutschland Malaysian Club hosted a tiny CNY celebration there. Met lots of Jolly group of Malaysians, feels almost like home except all of them are people who are much older then i am but age doesn't matter right? Even Joelle made tiny little friends. I'm not going to lie but i miss home and Chinese New Year in Malaysia is still the BEST! Not having celebrating CNY has been an experience but i don't think i want to miss it again ): There is no joy in celebrating cny without your love ones and friends <3

After the lunch, we went to hauptwache and from there i met up with Karin and Belle <3 We went for a little shopping and i bought myself a Pants :D Which i have been wanting to but couldn't find the right one and finally i did! We also had our normal tradition Drinknig bubble tea when we meet everytime ;D Before we knew it we had to return home cause Karin had a curfew oh well, we took the Gonzenheim train and when it was their stop we said our good byes.

Today was the day that i really missed home. I woke up and realize that everyone back home is anticipating for the Chinese New Year eve. Yes, it's Tonight! (it's passed midnight in malaysia now so GONG HEYY FATT CHOI!) The whole "tiong" family are back home reunited together while i'm the only one missing )':

I miss the Malaysian chinese Food, the family, the gambling, the fireworks!

But i guess this is an experience not being able to celebrate Chinese New Year for the FIRST TIME! (omg that's just so not normal) Imagine, celebrating it for the whole of your entire life and now it's the first time you'll not be celebrating D: , that's just WOAH!

Well technically, i am celebrating but just through skype, it's not as real though but better then nothing. Got a skype call from the family and yes i started bawling my eyes out *homesick moment* i decided to cheer myself up by playing some Sims 3, Yes sims 3 the best game ever! Finally my sims 3 can do laundry and i finish building a house ;D When it was almost midnight in Malaysia i received another Skype call from my family. I watched the fireworks through the camera thanks to Modern Technology im not missing out much.

Missing everyone back home.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

HAVE A GREAT DRAGRON YEAR! -RAWR-

Few days back, or was it yesterday? ah, screw it! it doesn't really matter. I'll just get on with my story.

Despite the sudden drop of temperature, it was a beautiful day and the sun was shining.

Victoria (my host sister since forever <3) was oddly in a really cheery mood.

Me: Uh, are you ok? Cause you seem to be overly cheerful today (ok i didn't exactly say that but i can't exactly remember what i said).

She : Nothing, it's just a really beautiful day, let's go for a drive!

Me: How about we go for a picnic?

and so we started to prepare stuff like making coffee, cutting apples (yes vitamin) , packing bread and a bottle of apple juice.

Steffi (my lovely younger host sis) decided to tag along and so did Sammie the cute Doggie!

Everyone was ready and we were off to our adventure. We didn't exactly know where to go so we decided to drive around the place to find somewhere we can hang out.. soon the sky was turning darker and darker till the moon was up and ..

we still haven't found a place to settle (too late, aye?)

Then it happen, there was a weird sound under or somewhere of the car.

I had a pretty bad feeling about it, i was having a flashback or what was going to happen.

Vicky decided we should stopped at the Car Repair shop. We were debating if we should wait here till 7 or come back on friday (btw it was 6pm) and so the decision was made. We will stay so we all (including the dog) got down from the car and went inside to sit while they get the car checked.

Vicky got the news from the repair man that if we wouldn't have gone there earlier something really really bad could have happen and for a moment we were in a state of shock cause thank god we made the right DECISION.

Frankfurt Occupy

2012-01-17T04:08:00.003+08:00

To continue with my story..

On saturday after the Korean classes, i followed Julia to this place where they were demonstrating against :

Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is a protest movement which began September 17, 2011 in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Wall Street financial district, initiated by the Canadian activist group Adbusters. The protests are against social andeconomic inequality, high unemployment, greed, as well as corruption, and the undue influence of corporations—particularly from the financial services sector—on government. The protesters' slogan We are the 99% refers to the growing income and wealth inequality in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. The protests in New York City have sparked similar Occupy protests and movements around the world.

But only it's not in USA but frankfurt.

At first when i look at the place, i had second thoughts about going in there because it looked kind of creepy. They had this campsite set up in the park. Yes, they really camp there but some of them do go back home and stay there during the weekends. I admit i was kind of being a spoilt brat by looking at how dirty it was :S *it wasn't that dirty actually* i think the cold air killed all the germs anyway. But after a while it wasn't actually that bad. I even met some people from different parts of the world mostly backpackers and they were extremely nice! I even helped them up at their "so called" kitchen. Yes, i cut the fruits :D

Are you curious where they get the money or food from? Well it's all donated by people from all over. I find this really interesting and something different. It can be really fun too! It was a good experience.

Korean as a languge

2012-01-15T06:41:00.002+08:00

안녕!

I had the best day ever today and i mean it but it didn't start out all good cause i had trouble sleeping last night i kept waking up. It was really annoying. Imagine when your alarm rang and just before you finally fall into a deep sleep, frustrating much? I suppose i didn't sleep well was party because i think i was nervous for the Korean class? YES! I actually went to a Korean School held every Saturday. I had to walk all the way to the train station which takes about 20 minutes from where i live and it was still pretty dark! I had second thoughts at first cause i don't usually walk alone anywhere, yes i'm a chicken i admit :P but yeah i did it anyway. I think i'm starting to get use to it? I shall explore frankfurt more now ;-) Met Julia at the Train station, Julia went to Korea for an exchange and she can write/read korean which is so cool! There are only 3 germans and this Korean School and the rest are KOREANS, the minute i walked into the school i felt like i was in Korea or something, it was pretty cool. The teacher was really hyper and nice to me but i couldn't understand her at all cause she was speaking to me 95% of the time. The only words that i recognized are "..can't remember" . haha!

Met new friends too, 2 german girls Aleyna and Ani both Kpop freaks, and Priska a really nice korean girl who was born in germany, and also 2 other guys whom i don't know their names .. sorry :-P One of the guy reminds me of Wei heng! The other one i think he was a mix cause he was pretty good looking but he has definitely the korean eyes haha.

I almost memorized my hangul! (한굴) *Proud of my self*

i'll write more soon, this is not the end of it ^_^

love,

Happy 2012!

I know, im 13 days late but HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012.

I don't know what to think that's it is already 2012 and with the movie 2012 isn't it freaky?

With the global warming and not normal weather, it's scary but nah ja, i don't think we will die till maybe 100 years later or so.

So, my english has been going from good to BAD and i need to start practicing my blogging more, i guess that would help? ;D It's probably cause i've been hearing too much german around me. Talking about german, i think im getting better at it i just need to.. practice/talk more but i have this problem of being too shy? Help? i really need to overcome this big problem of mine.

BEFORE 2012 :

Yes my family came over to Europe and spent the christmas and new year holidays with ME!

We went to beautiful Venice and cam whored a lot, what can you say when you are at the city of love<3

My awesome family in the Water bus, since there are no cars in venice but only water transportation.

The small streets with lots of bridges in Venice <3

It was the awesomest holiday ever with my family and lots of Big smiles!

I'm missing them so much right now and can't wait to see them when i return home in the Summer.

i'll write more soon? ;-)

Second trip to Leipzig!

2011-09-26T03:35:00.004+08:00

The Train-

"i know i ruined the picture but <3"

I have so much to blog about and i'm sorry for the delay to anyone who reads it.

We went to Leipzig again for the second time just cause.. there was a party i wanted to go called "amaya" it's an asian party. All the cool parties are at Leipzig according to > Vicky.

We took the "ICE" Train on friday, it was a really cool train it's not like the dirty ones you see in Malaysia. It's the total opposite here. The minute you enter in you feel like you're entering an airplane so it's pretty cool!

We were greeted by Charleen, hai long and martin at the main station. "hai long and martin are vietnamese" , there are a lot of vietnamese here in germany -it goes back all the way in history- .

We waited and met song, after that we headed back to charleen's to clean up and went back out. We went to club velvet and spitz somehow no one felt like partying on that day so it was a pretty bad day. Came home around 4.30am , that's day1.

here is day 2.

Fortunately, it was a better day. It was the day of AMAYA's Party. It was kind of weird to see so many asian's around, there were some "hotties" too and Lala's. It was cool- We also went to Club velvet and i had one of those small cup vodka's thingy that borys got us. It was sweet and nice! After that we went back to Amaya, and it was starting to get Hot inside. It was somebody's birthday and he had a birthday present from his friend and SURPRISE - it was a stripper who stripped completely naked and ... ? It was an interesting day-

P.s we went home at 6AM .

The Stripper and Birthday boy!

Song, Cher minn (i don't know why but i look fat) , Charleen!

Schule

2011-09-10T03:24:00.004+08:00

i know i have not blogged much about school well here's something about school.

Meine Schule heißt Phillip-Reis-Schule.

My school's name is Phillip-Reis-Schule and i am in Year 11 along with the 15-18 year olds.

Yes, there is a kid in my class. I feel old ):

I'm in class 11T3 and the subjects i take are (Look at the picture below)

and here is my Timetable ( if you don't understand please tweet me @cherminnrawks or who cares? :3 )

Yes, we have "Buku Teks Pinjaman" here too and looks they have HARD COVER books and a lot heavier except no one really bothers to bring it and at most we have like 3 subjects a day?

People here carry big bag's only in Primary school, in high school everybody just use handbags well i do :P

ARTS, my current favourite class. I didn't know i had a talent to draw =D i guess i got so bored that i had so much patience to put my bordem into drawings, does that make sense? i think it does TEEHEE!

So guess what happen? We we learning how to do shadings in our drawing and there were a few technics for example, the shading technic, the striking technic and the dot technic. We could draw anything we want or see and and my drawing with 7 others was shown as an example.

"london tipton moment - YAY ME *clasp hand* (unfortunately she's already pregnant now with that cyrus dude)
