geek from mars: Up And Posting..Again

It's been a long time since i last blogged. As some may experience this wierd after effect of blogging call boredome-ness. Well, for me, i seem to be not the only one suffering from that virus as you can easily see, there are thousands of blogs out there left unattended to after a while ! So i guess you can say that it's normal.

It was actually a friend of mine who "beg" me to update my blog again *just kidding*. I shall be kind to reveal her identity - She's joe-lene from joe-lene.blogspot.com. Well, technically we've known each other for years now since our parents know each other and etc etc. She's in Aussie now and she's been complaining about the lack of nutrition (as in Char Kuay Teow, Asam Laksa, Hokkien Mee etc etc) to her daily diet. So i'm here to show her how much she is missing back here in Penang although it seems like she's really enjoying there without needing any nutrition at all.

But today i only have this.

Porridge with tuna and mushrooms and crabsticks.

How did i ended up in that is because i've been sick for the past few days. I had FluVerSoreThroatPhlegmHeadache. You get the point. So no Char Kuay Teow or Hokkien Mee or Curry Mee for this week, just plain non solid food and lots of water. It's only been one and a half week since i came back to Penang for semester break and i'm already down with all kinds of sickness due to food consumed in the first week back here and the following week i had to suffered. It wasn't worth it clearly as i only have two more weeks before Advance Diploma starts.

And yea, i've graduated from Diploma. The last semester was quite a hectic one in terms of workload though we do not have final exams *buahahahaha* because we were busy creating a system for our final mini project. I only had two subjects which is the mini project and English for Science. Sounds easy eh? Sounds but not quite.

Moving on, my mom has returned from Europe. She has been travelling around Europe since April and has been to 8 countries including Rome, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Holland, Germany, Belgium and France. It wasn't like staying in 5 star hotels and eating meals in restaurant. She went backpacking for short. It was kinda tough having to travel on your own, well she went with 6 others, and having one meals per day or cook as it was expensive to eat out. It cost RM60 for a meal of mcdonalds.

Don't sue me, but i just can't afford to have a RM60 meal !

Well, it's like that because when the almighty Ringgit Malaysia is convert to Euros, it turns to small atoms.

Mom even went to Amsterdam. Most of you should know what's in Amsterdam when drugs and prostitution are legal in Holland *smiles wickedly*. It's the well known Red Light District !

If you've watched Euro Trip, then you'd be familiar with it. Mom was there actually, looking around, she said the town was dirty and she didn't like it because of the activities there. I could not agree more *drools*.

Mom brought back some souvenirs though. In my heart i was shouting and screaming "IPhone ! IPhone !" . I wasn't expecting one but surprises are known to come right? She didn't get me an IPhone *sobs* but she got me this -

Swiss Knife with my name on it.

A Victorinox swiss knife! It's a portable killing machine and the best part is, it has my name on it so when i perform my work, they will know my name !! I sound like a serial killer. Every man has his secrets, hmm. I've been wanting a swiss knife for ages now because it's so cool and it's very useful during travelling and hiking etc.

My Cool List
Stuffs from Sony, Apple, Intel, NVidia, Microsoft, Creative, Nikon, Canon.

I'm a gadget freak.

Anyway, that's not the only thing she came back with. She brought stuffs from disneyland, the peeing boy from Brussels.

This peeing boy.

It's real name is called mannekan pis and it's the most famous fountain in Brussels. It actually has a history behind it. For more info check out wikipedia. Mom brought back miniatures mannekan pis. She even brought back pasta.
