Alternative to Whatsapp

Fact: Whatsapp is being bought by Facebook.
Effect: Threema's user skyrocketing (just a description)

after the Snowden's case, "big brother is watching you" always be one of the topic in gathering. now, everyone is concern about their privacy and Switzerland made apps- Threema targeted this market, with their slogan - seriously secure mobile messaging. So, is this the end of Whatsapp? i don't think so but hey, this is not the only apps i used and this is not the apps i like the most. YET, this is the apps that people outside Asia use the most (sad case)

Amy and me come to a conclusion, KakaoTalk is the best. WHY?

(i) because it has cute emoticon, well, Line have it as well but i still in love with Kakao.
(ii) it is yellow color (affection....you know?? hahahahaha)
(iii) it has Obama's voice inform you that you have a new message
(iv) I JUST LIKE IT !!

so, my colleagues have a quite funny conversation today

Les : did you all use any other apps? alternative for whatsapp? many people are using Threema now, it costs 1.60 to download.
Jul : yea, i used LINE, it is quite good (yea, another korean apps!!!)
Wer : (in a very calm voice) EMAIL

OMG, he was so so so so so funny. The circumstance, the voice, the facial expression just make everything so funny.

So, a summarize of apps

Kakaotalk: Korean users
Wechat: Chinese users
Line: Taiwanese users
Viber: not really sure

I have it all....kkkkkkk...so, will not leave out any friends...weeeeheeee

Think about your hips!!!

以下的对话与主题相互印章

Chu: Onkellllll, ich möchte cassava Kuchen essen.
         Uncle, 我想要吃cassava蛋糕。

Onkel: Ist der was Besonders? Wenn nicht, solltest du ihn nicht essen!!!
            那蛋糕很特别吗?如果不是，你不应该吃!!!

Chu: 木薯糕。哈哈哈哈哈

Onkel: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!.... Denk an deine Hüfte!!!!!
            不行!!!!!!!........ think about your hips (不知道要怎么翻译成中文才能完全体现出那个感觉）

Chu: ok, ich gucken nur im Internet....... (T.T)

Isn't the conversation sad?

At the first point i felt, OMG, it is so funny!!! but the next second i felt the sadness that embedded in this conversation. WHYYYYYYYY!!! The life isn't fun anymore if we have to live the life in this way... (this sentence only apply to those who has perfect body, sad to say that it is not applicable to me..wahahahaha...自暴自弃，恼羞成怒中) and as what Danny said in his blog...hmm, he wondered what i see myself when i look into mirror. HELLO KIDDO, of course i see myself, a fat me..hahaha..

Chat with kiddo in whatsapp, and we had funny conversation as well

Kiddo: ChuYing Sunbae!!! I'm bored ^^
Chu: 뭐? 왜요?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ심심해??
Kiddo: Yeah..Simsimhae..kekekekeke
........
Chu: 응, 너무 이쌍한...ㅋㅋㅋ
Kiddo: I think you have a typo (laughing like crazy face) Look at your "sang". it has two "ren" instead of one. Explaining Korean signs with Chinese signs. Only in our chat you can find this.
Chu: Ya ya, du hast recht.

What a funny conversation we are making? and he said, i felt that you are same years old with me when i chat with you. In another sense, i am either stupid, crazy or childish.hahahaha

Anyway, FUNNY!!!

By the way, learned these today "wenn der Hahn kräht auf dem Mist, ändert sich das Wetter oder es bleibt, wie es ist" & "schlecten Leute geht es immer gut". The first one is a bauernregel and can be translated into: When rooster crows at break of day, the weather will change, or else it will stay while the second one means 傻人有傻福.

8368天 + 2 天

ich habe schon in dieser Welt 8368 Tagen gelebt.

Gestern war mein Geburstag auf dem Mondkalender. Eigentlich kann ich mich nicht daran erinnern, denn normalarweise feiern wir auf dem Gregorianischen Kalender. 

Should have finished this post two days ago as it was my birthday in lunar calender and it can match the title of the post, so now i have to change the name of the post...sigh... ( I make it to seem like a tough job but actually it is as easy as breathing..haha..breathing can be tough sometimes, right? )

My mom and sister were really sweet, greet me happy birthday and my sister even recorded a sound clip that repeatedly saying happy birthday to me. 她真的是冒着被我说她声音好笑的险，祝我生日快乐，叫我怎么能不感动呢。最令我不爽就是我亲爱的弟弟，竟然没有找我....我都到了德国那么久，他竟然没有传过简讯给我，打电话回去还给我装害羞.......(倒在地上狂哭)

BONUS:

have no idea why i named it bonus but just want to say something quite irrelevant to this post. Danny, that kiddo felt that he should definitely talk to my sister because.........my sister didn't like to do her homework and hid her homework when she was young. Hmm, not a good reason but at least a common point between both of them..hahahahaha

Nico gave me a biscuit today and said i must try it because it is the traditional or typical biscuit in Germany...hmmm, or France?? who cares, as long as it is delicious =)

부산의 친구

2012 년 7월에 내가 한국에 가서 친한친구가 되었어요.
우리는 3주동안 함께 지냈어요.
부경대에서 함께 배우고 먹어 놀며 재미있었어요.
우리는 1년이상 서러를 보지 멋했지만 서오 게숙 여락하고 있요.

나는 이 세여자를 많이 그리워하기 때문에 시작을 이사진으로 하고깊어요. 우리는 여전히 서로 연락을 유지하지만 자주 하지는 못해요(물론, 질은 항상 양보다 낫다? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ) 그리고 난 내 앨범에있는 모든 사진을 본 후, 만나는 동안에 우리가 세주동안 많은 사진을 찍지 못했다고 생각했어요. 그것을 부상받기위해서 내가 한국에 다시가면 우리는 가진을 많이 찍어야해요.

그녀는 우리가 사랑하는 보조 선생님입니다. :) 사진에서 보시는  것처럼 그녀는 재미잇는 여자입니다. 그녀는 우리를 잘 돌보아주엇습니다 그 3주동안 그리고 그녀가 자주 사용하던 문구는 "늦지마세요 특히 한국 학생들"이엇습니다. 그녀의 목소리를 듣는것만으로도 누구나 그녀를 쉽게 찾을수 잇습니다. 가장 큰 웃음을 가진 장소는 그녀가 잇는 곳입니다!! 헤헤헤~ 그것을 제외하고 그녀는 술을 잘마십니다. 그녀는 원석의 여자버전입니다. 하하하. 그녀와 지난 주 통화를 하엿는데 가슴 뭉클하엿습니다. 그녀은 엄마같습니다.(제가 의미하는 바는 외모가 아니라 그녀가 사람들을 돌보는 방식입니다. 그녀는 예쁘고 귀엽습니다!!) 그녀가 말하길, 나는 너무 건강에 대해 걱정을 많이한다고 햇습니다, 비록 니가 살을 빼길 원하지만 아침과 점심을 챙겨먹어라. 그것은 가장 중요한 식사라고 햇습니다. 얼마나 다정한가요.


프로그램동안의 나의 버디 (tonnes of loves). 그녀는 요즘 바쁘다 그래서 우리는 연락이 뜸해졌다!! 그러나 우리는 카카오톡 을 통해 꾸준히 연락하고있다. 카카오톡 참 좋은 발명품이다 =) 그녀는모두의 롤모델이 될수있다 진지하게!! 그녀가원하는것(영리한두뇌와 강한투지)을얻기위해 열심히 해야한다. ARGH!!!!!! 내삶에 가장 필요한것이다  하하하하 나는투지가 부족하고꾸준하지않고

S!!! My lovely S. She is that kind of girl that you can easily get along with. She is so graceful all the time and it seems like nothing can really make her angry. We don't spend much time during the program as three weeks is relatively short and she has her own buddy to take care of =) every single Korean buddy in team A is really responsible =D They took good care of us like we are new born baby ( I'm a little bit exaggerated here ..haha) I was so touched that day when i heard her voice because it has been so long since we talk to each other and that feeling is indescribable. You know you miss that person so much at that moment and you realized that someone can mean so much to you even though you don't contact with each other frequently. She definitely the one in my best friend's list.

My little pet !!! I have no idea why he is my little pet (too old to remember everything..kkk) We recorded video together, My buddy, me, him, his international buddy, JHye and her buddy. He likes to wear cap and always together with JHun. still remember the time that he wore my hairband, it was so funny yet cute !! He is now working in an international company and we talk to each other occasionally. 

DS ar~~~~~~~ hehehehe, I used to call him this way and even had my voice recorded in his phone. Perhaps he deleted the voice clip now but it was a precious moment =) I remember he once said that, he thought some Korean call him when i call his name that way. hmmmm, we wore the 99% same pattern shirt on the same day. Such a coincidence !! apart from that, we are in the same group for mission and bake cookies together =) spend some time at Gwangalli beach on the last day with a group of friends, playing fire crackers, speaking in some poor korean and english, doing something fun ... 

JHun, we don't spend much time together. He is quite quiet, i think?! maybe i am wrong..hahaha.. The only time i remember was we were having sort of afternoon tea together at the cafe near the lift in Pukyong University! i even took a photo with his cap on =) and at that time, Jhye is having sweet potato latte, hahaha..i always remember this kind of trivial information that doesn't really matter much. JHun's cap is blue in color, with something like this ʃ ʅ . had a talk with him on that day as well but too bad the environment was too noisy and we couldn't talk for long time.

WS, he is the one that i contact the most with. Have no idea why, perhaps we are both crazy? or bad? he must deny it when he sees this post but who cares, this is the fact. Quite a surprise that we can be best friend because we don't talk to each other much during the program too. He just put his focus on alcohol, his buddy, alcohol, alcohol and alcohol... have to really say sorry to him because I don's supply him alcohol every day during the day he was in Malaysia. Yet, we did some crazy thing together with Susu. We brought some non-pure-water beverage into cinema. You know what i mean =)

Miss you all so much and we will meet up some day somewhere

Sing Sang Song

Sing Sang Song
Ding Dang Dong
Ping Pang Pong

I guess you will be happy after you read that three "sentences" because i am quite excited when i look at it, for no reason !! This is why we live, we live to be happy without any reason, seems like physco but yeah, I am..who tell you i am normal?? hahaha, after all we are all normal because we are abnormal..wohohohoho..I am hyper today because Danny sent me a voice clip today, with his voice mimicking wolf howling, Anselm's voice as background and my name being spoken in a weird german way..hehehehe

I was planning to go to the so called "forbidden city", "Verbotener Stadt"- Düsseldorf on Saturday but something happen so couldn't make it. However, i did something meaningful on that day, which is reading!!! sound so good actually is the result of my procrastination. I should have finish reading that book last month, yet, it is still lying on my desk waiting for me to read it...Ohhhhh poor book, i just don't want to finish reading you so quickly and i would like to enjoy the single moment reading you...EXCUSE EXCUSE AND BAD EXCUSE.. i know i am lazyyyyyyyy

Nothing big happened this few days, except for both Danny and me went crazy and are still crazy at this moment. We were sending voice clips to each other, singing song in different languages, and he is really a crazy kiddo!! He likes Anthem and sing quite a lot of Anthems, ranging from UK to Canada...hmmm, not so far, ok..ranging from China to Canada, a little bit further i guess?! hahaha...anyway, it is fun!! you just sing without thinking what others think about you. I think my flatmate must think that i have too much stress, singing alone in the room, korean chinese english cantonese malay german, or may be, 鬼上身 haunted..hahahahahahahahaha... I even sent those voice clips to my dear sister and she said, OMG, 很难听咯..SHE SAID IT IS BADDDDD!!!..but i never said it is good =) and i am not a professional singer, i just sing to make everyone happy, so who bothers it is good or bad as long as i am happy..right!!! i know you will agree with me Kiddo =D

OH RIGHT!!! i even had a chat with my lovely team A buddies!!!! love them so so so so so so so so so much~~~~~~~~ will write about it in next post =D

Today is the Valentine's day and also the last day of Chinese New Year, which is also Chinese Valentine's Day..what a coincidence right?? So, again good news for man, they only have to buy one present instead of two, but one present with the value of two or three presents, don't think we are dumb ok?? We are good in math when it comes to this ...kekekekekeke..MR TAN HAOHAN, where is my chocolate???????????? hahahahahaha...it is a tradition between both of us even though we are just friend, pity haohan...


祝大家有情人终成眷属
而没有情人的你，当然要好好爱自己咯


lots of love,
Chu

Happy Day

My office is right behind one kindergarten. So every time when they are having break, we will hear the "noisy yet sweet" sound from them. You can hear their laughter that without any impurities inside and this will somehow melt your heart (but i think big black bear, yes,is YOU!! it is quite hard to melt your heart, because it will first help to melt your fat..wahahahahaha) Saw two little boys holding hand, walking from one place to another, chit-chatting with each other. How cute are they!!! imagine after 10 years, they maintain this friendship and hold hands in the public, what will others say about them? how pathetic it is that we always label people by using our own mindset and standpoint.

Have a chat with Ari today!! It has been quite a long time since i talk to her. She is a blond girl but hey everyone, she is a freaking smart girl!!!! so, please, no more dumb blond this kind of word. The first time i saw her was last year September during the welcome ceremony in HHL. She is the only one with blond hair and the only one with white suit. In other word, she stands out among the crowd (^.^) well, she is tall and pretty as well, so even though she is with black suit, you can easily find her among 100 students ^^ (the symbol that Ari likes to use, quite surprising because i thought german would be more formal when chat with others and apparently, she is not and is an easy-going girl) Ari had "not so good mood" today due to some incidents, but, everything will be fine babe!! You know, good things always take some times to come to you =) should write something about her in my blog, because she is one of the best friend of mine in Germany !!

还有，千万不要小看钢管舞女，我真的觉得她们超级厉害的。

no matter you are sad or happy,

you will have 24 hours a day
1440 minutes a day 
8640 seconds a day (tell me if it is wrong)

so, why not be happy everyday ?

异乡过节

獨在異鄉爲異客
每逢佳節倍思親

這兩句話，沒有親身體驗，還真的説不出那種感受。十一個月前的我，覺得自己就算來了外國，應該也不會很想念家，我不是冷血，祇是覺得自己應該很獨立，畢竟也在澳洲呆過一陣子。可是當農曆新年漸漸靠近時，才真正覺得，還是要呆在家過年!就算我睡過年，無所事事，我都甘願。畢竟我每年過年都無所事事。哈哈哈哈，除了初二到浩瀚家狂吃他家的零食外（嘻嘻，好想念你.....家桌子上的零食哦....)當你捨得放棄睡眠，淩晨起身就為了與家人視訊拜年時，你就是想家啦....不要否認，不要強忍，哭吧!!歌曲都有得你唱，男人哭吧哭吧不是罪，更何況是女人對不對，我們是水做的....(就是想讓無緣無故亂哭合理化)

最先收到的一份新年祝賀，是來自美國的卡片。這真的是一個意想不到的驚喜!!這卡片是一個在異鄉過節的好朋友，Angie寄來的。我們在很多年前就認識了，忘了哪一年(也不想曝露我們的年齡，大禁忌)....哈哈哈哈...祇是記得是在生活營裏認識的!!至今仍歷歷在目，而且最令人訝異的是，我們還能維持聯係。畢竟沒有經常見面，好像是生活營之後都沒有見面了，但是卻還是能毫無隔膜的聊天。Angie是一個很會繪畫的女生，長相屬於氣質少女，高瘦白，簡直就是女神。嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻...這張卡片真的帶給我很大的驚喜，也謝謝你的細心!!!有機會我們一定要見面，歐洲或美國或馬來西亞!!!

真的太感謝我的妹妹了，爲了讓我感覺到過節的氣氛，還特別傳了好多食物的照片給我(其實是我叫她傳的，哈哈，就為了折磨自己）好想念婆婆煮的年夜飯，打電話迴去時婆婆還特別問了我想不想要吃她做的餅乾之類的...太貼心了...也讓我有點心酸，畢竟吃不到。哈哈哈

 年初二的時侯到科隆一家按摩店去按摩還有拔罐，阿姨說我的身上有濕氣，所以那個印的顔色才會那麽深。其實中華的醫藥歷史好特別哦，就穴道而言，祇要按到其中一個穴道而覺得痛，就代表某個器官出現了毛病。這應該是西方人難以瞭解的東西吧，因爲就連我都搞不清楚，太難向西方人解釋了。他們甚至好奇爲什麽我們和褒過的水，和他們說，因爲沒有煮過的水屬涼性，喝了對身體不好。他們會問，那你煮過了，放在外邊也是涼啊...暈...那阿姨知道我一個人在科隆，就邀請我去他們的聚會。難得看到一群中國人都聚在一起(我是唯一的馬來西亞華僑，魚目混珠，嘻嘻),就覺得特別有過年氣氛。

今天呢，就和同事Y以及他的朋友及室友一起到荷蘭去逛街。Y簡直太厲害了，不消一陣子，雙手就提滿了勝利品。果然那女人啊,無論是什麽國際，對逛街還是很在行的。晚上吃了意大利餐(到荷蘭吃意大利餐很奇怪吼，可是，這融合了荷蘭的經典，起司!!)

剛進到這間餐廳時就覺得奇怪，爲什麽放一個那麽大的起司在那兒，而且還是有被用過的痕跡。難道是什麽自助餐之類的，會把食物放在裏面?實在搞不清楚，可是也沒有多想。之後Y就介紹說這裏的廚師推薦意大利面很好吃，一定要試試。意大利面上桌前才搞明白，那麽大塊的起司到底是幹嘛用的。廚師把意大利面煮好后，服務生就會把面端到起司旁，乘著面還熱的時候就把它放到"起司盆"(看起來就像個臉盆，哈哈)里，用面的熱情把起司融化，讓兩種水乳交融(擬人手法，可是怪怪的)，之後才把意大利面呈上。這個做法真的很新奇，個人也覺得很有噱頭。

Only hate the road when you're missing home - let her go, Passenger
