tea house
As a Chinese, tea shouldn't be something new to me as I have had already tried so many kinds of tea in Malaysia and I considered my family tea-drinkers too. Recently, a local friend brought us to a local Czech tea house. A brand new experience. There are a lot of different teas that you can try - Indian, Japanese, English, and suprisingly Chinese tea! I've ordered "bi luo chun", you should know what it is. And the other special feature is, the water pipe. I am not a smoker but I think it smells quite good too (strawberry and blueberry). It's a non-tobacco water pipe. And it is BIG. Look at the picture below:
But most importantly, I simply want to update my blog. I know I have been busy nowadays, I didn't really have time to talk to my family and good friends back home. Just want to let you all know I am fine here and I am staying at the library everyday just to force myself to complete my papers and prepare for examinations. A horrible thing is going to happen, which is I shall be starting my MA thesis soon... I can't imagine how I am going to survive here... Anyway, I will just do my best and complete my study and enjoy myself at the same time. I think this is very important... :) Don't you think so?
no update
For those of you who did visit here for the past two weeks, sorry - yes - there was no updates. I am just so busy and immersing myself into my papers writing and exams preparation. 6 papers + 4 exams are coming up and all of them are going to due during mid December. Basically I just have no time :P Worry + Anxious + Nervous + Stress + Pressure = Lost of appetite and depression
May be somebody wants to laugh at me already, this is the price to pay to study a masters. Anyhow, I still tried to enjoy my life as much as possible and may be I will take more pictures the next trip.
I found a picture of mine took during a visit to Zoo. I was standing beside tigers distanced merely by a glass and I guess that's my feeling now -
Scare!
Friends' Birthday Parties
This time I should talk about some friends that I get to know here, I am sure some of my Malaysian guy friends are interested in what kind of pretty girls that I get to know here. :P Last week, a few friends of mine having their birthday parties almost at the same time so I was busy for social outing... not exactly an outing but just popping to the other rooms... Some pictures of the parties...
At Yulia's party (from Ukraine) - The food for the night - Ukrainian Salad + Greek Salad + Finger food (Cheese+Olive+Ham) + My white rice = Strange combination :P
A closer look. The salads were very tasty!
Drew (US), Yulia (Ukraine), Yu Juan (China) and Lory (the Philippines)
The EUROCULTURE' girls. From the right, Ayima (Krygstan) and Lilit (Armenia)
During the party...
Everybody's face was getting red after some vodka and martini, especially me with just a little vodka + a lot of fruit juice!
After Yulia's party, we headed over to Meltem (Turkey) 's party at another block.
The Eramus Girls. Shannon (US), Meltem (Turkey), Virginie (France) and me!
Inside the room - Lory, Lan (US), Meraid (Ireland), Giada (Italy), Shannon and me.
Of course, me and the birthday girl, Meltem!
The next two days, it was Drew's party... A guy's party, what do you expect? :P
Me and Lory
Drew, Lory and I - we hang out together the most with Lory be the translator between Drew and me.
Again, the Euroculture group with Drew's brand new presents on him.
Me and Virginie.
Me and Ola (Poland).
So guys, anybody is considered cute to you? Haha...
It's snowing!
The weather here is changing... although technically it should be still autumn season, but for me, it is already WINTER!!
Remember when I first came here, this was how the scenery looked like...
Yesterday, it started snowing where you could hardly see the snow falling from the picture... Yet I already tried touching the snow like those female actress acted in the movie :P
This morning, my roommate woke me up and shouted: "SY CHYI! Wake up! Look at this!"
When we opened our window, we saw this....
Look at all the cars...
and again, this is another view...
I wonder what I should wear for my grocery shopping later... -_-'
But, I LOVE IT!
