A Thin Line Between Good & Bad..

Date: 21st May, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0610..(14th May, 2008..)
Time in FRANKFURT: 2355..

In this article..
I just want to share my life here with you all..
Since so long had been stayed in Germany..
I had crossed a lot of happiness and sadness too..
But when having a sadness moment..
What can I do??
I just have to review back to the situation..
Review to the good sides..
And enjoy the life back..

Now I start to share with you guys..

Situation: When made the choice of coming to Germany for training..
Bad view: Quite sad..Because have to stay far from house..
Good view: Quite excited..About I can learn and train a lot of things..

Situation: Staying in Germany..Had met a lof of barriers..
Bad view: Felt hard and exhausted..
Good view: I can make myself stronger and tougher than last time..

Situation: When I found out my classmate had betrayed me..
Bad view: I had lost a friend..He can't reliable anymore..
Good view: Take this as a good challenge to fight for the life with myself..

Situation: I had shifted to breakfast section..
Bad view: I can't communicate well with the section chiefs..
Good view: This is a chance to train my communication skill into a better standard..

Situation: My German friend invite me to Clubbing..
Bad view: Wasted Money..The Music had killed my ears..The Lights had killed my eyes..
Good view: Once in a lifetime..Besides it had proved that I am NOT one of the clubbing fans..

Situation: My German Friend invite me to a movie..
Bad view: Wasted Money..Movie in German and no subtitle..Almost slept in the theatre..
Good view: A good lesson and experience for me..

Situation: I have to go to Frankfurt to meet my uncle's friend..
Bad view: I have to waste my money for the train fare..
Good view: I can get my camera and return the long johns to my uncle..

Situation: When my friends told me that my reports had written in wrong format..
Bad view: I felt sucks..Because have to redo all..
Good view: I have somethings to do..Since I am so boring here..

Situation: My expenses in Germany are low..
Bad view: I can't buy anything or go to travel around..
Good view: This might can train me for saving money and avoid myself from some unhappy accident as well..

People might feel that I am quite funny or freak..
In a sad and bad condition or situation..
Somemore can think about good or bad view..
But for me..
If I don't think from this way..
I might give up everythings earlier..
This is a kind of motivation for me and everybody as well..

Don't forger that..
"In this world..We have Heaven & Hell..
They are just seperated between a thin line..
It just depend on how we think about it.."

Think wise & Act wise..
Sometimes a freak mindset might save you a life..
Take care & Stay chill..

Cheers..
Warmest Regards..

P.S: I love and miss you, my family & friends..
Now I had staying here for 2 months..
Just still left 3 more months to go..
Time always pass faster than we thought..
Wait me home..
Still a lot of things to share with you guys..
Words can't finish my speech..hehe
Loving & Missing you all..

Usual Day vs Special Day..

Date: 11st May, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0445..(12nd May, 2008..)
Time in FRANKFURT: 2226..

Usual Day..
How to describe my usual day??
As usual..
I brush my teeth daily..
I watch CNN daily..
I write report daily..
I go to work daily..
I miss my home daily..
I miss my friends daily..
These is all my usual daily work..
This had became my responsibles..

Special Day..
How to say is a Special Day??
Well..Today is Sunday..
But before this Sunday..
On the monday..I had sent my mum a postcard..
Why??
Because today is MOTHER's DAY..
I don't want to miss the chance to wish my mum..
So I have to post my card earlier from Germany back to M'sia..

My mum is my dearest one..
Although she always scold me at home..
But those are for my good..
Well..Everyone will hate to hear the annoying scolding voice..
For me..Included as well..
Hate most..
So I will fight back to her..
Then we will start to have war..
Which side will win??
I hope I will..
But of course..
She is my mum..So she get the "flag" all the time..

My sis said that I am the one who changed my mum alot..
Well..My mum also had changed me alot too..
How she changed me??
She teach me what is good and bad..
So that..Now I can seperate out what is good and bad..
She scold me when I not listen to her..
So that..Now I get well-trained than others..
She beat me when I did troublesome..
So that..Now I not dare to make trouble again..
How I changed her??
Well..As my sis said..
I changed her way to teach her kids..
So that..She can communicate well with us..
I changed her view of seeing the future..
So that..She can know the world is changing..
I changed her to more open minded..
So that..She will let her kids to explore their future..

This is the relationship between my mum & I..
Well..I heard someone told me before..
What the "someone" said??
He told me that since come out to the world..
Most important thing is FRIEND..
"How about family and parent??" I asked..
He said those are not important anymore..

Well..
For me..
Of course..I won't listen to him..
Cause he has a different skin with me..
Cause he has a different culture with me..
Cause he has a different background with me..

How so??
Cause as a chinese..
We respect our parent..
We respect our family..
We respect our name..
For me..
Parent has the bond on our relationship that unbreakable..
Family has the love that Friends can't give..
Name has the backbone for our history..
So..How come I can forget my parent and family??
So..How come I can more focus on friends than family??
So..How come I can turn myself become a "family betrayer"..
Hell no..

Parent give us education when we are kids..
Parent give us warm when we are cold..
Parent give us food when we are hungry..
Parent give us bed when we are sleepy..
Parent give us shoulder when we are sad..
Parent give us hands when we need help..
Parent give us money when we are poor..
Parent give us love when we are lonely..
Parent give us everything when we need anything..
That's why we need to respect and love our parent back..
But not to forget them..

Since I am here in Germany..
The one I miss most is my parent..
I miss their voice..
I miss their smile..
I miss those moments with them..
Last time..I don't know what is APPRECIATE..
Because I can get anything on time..
What I want..I can get it from parent..
But till now..I start to know and understand what is APPRECIATE..
The true meaning of appreciate is unexplainable..
It just need to feel..It just need to pass through in the life..
Just like me..I now can feel that they are not arround me..
This moment I can feel that last time they can give us everything..
But did they ask for pay back?? No..
This moment I can feel that last time the love they had given..
But did they ask for pay back?? No..

I hope when I go back to my home..
I can help my dad & mum as much as I could..
I trying to give them my love..
Want them to share things with me..
But not always asking from them..
They are getting older..I am getting bigger..
I hope I won't be too late to treat my parent well..

I love you..MaMa..
I wish you can have a good & nice Mother's Day..
I love you too..PaPa..
I wish you can be healtier than everyone..
I love you "three"..My KoKo & Sis..
I wish you both can have a good future in your love and career..
I love you "four"..My friends..
I wish you all can know what is appreciate from this moment..

"Never say too late to appreciate the loves"..

Take care & Stay chill..
Cheers..

P.S: Tomorrow is a festival for the German..

For them..
They wish they will have a good spring and summer time..
For me..
I wish all my family and friends will have a enjoyabe life in every seconds..
Cheers..

A smoothy month..

Date: 26th April, 2008..
Time in Malaysia: 0600..(27th April, 2008..)
Time in FRANKFURT: 2345..

Time moving fast..
If not reminded by my "High 5 List"..
I also not realize that I had left my hometown for a month..
What is "High 5 List"??
It is a book..
A piece of paper for me to state down the day had past..
So every morning..
When I wake up..I will go to draw a line on it..
Till reach 5..I will circle it as one..
Which mean I had past 5 days..
It is quite lame..
But it is the easier way for me to remember the day still left..

Finally a month had gone..
Which mean still have 4 months to go..
Today is the day that I get my 1st salary payment..
It is quite happy..
Because "Everybody Loves Money"..

Just through this month..
I already learnt a lot of things..
Cutting vegetables..
Although my fingers have uncountable wounds..
But I keep Cutting..
Washing chillers..
Although my body is keep shivering..
But I keep Washing..
Grilling meats..
Although my hands had burnt by the oil..
But I keep grilling..
I keep make surveys..
I keep asking for recipes..
I keep upgrade mysef..
I keep make practice..
"Practice make Perfect"..
Which mean all of these will bring me a perfect career & future..
I 100% truely trusted on it..

Even for my 2nd Home..
I also keep planning for upgrading them..
I also keep getting news from all my friends..
This is already became my daily responsibilities..
Although I am thousand miles away from them..
But my heart is always with them..
Even my eyes and ears..

The life sometimes are hard..
But what should we do??
Sitting there and cry for help??
No..Standing up and against the barriers..
In this month..
I had met a lot of barriers..
Those barriers that I won't think about before..
Because My parent had helped me to settle those barriers..
But now..
Staying alone..
And have to face all these barriers in a sudden..
What should I do??
Facing it back like a man..Not a kid anymore..
I remember my dad taught me before..
"A greatest man have greatest responsibilities"..

Sometime..
For sure..
I will feel sad and bad..
I will feel home sick..
What should I do??
Just adjust myself into a good condition again..
Try to make myself happy, cheer and chill..
Then everything will move smooth and good..
Even teased by those German..
Even joked by those German..
Even bullied by those German..
Also not a problem anymore..
Because "Easy goes lucky"..
So stay easy and chill..
It will make your life more colourful..

Anyway..
Although life is hard..
We still have to survive with happiness..
Then anything will go smooth..
So do your life go smoother now??

"Rome is not build in a day"..
So my lovely dad & mum..
So my caring brother & sister..
So my missing Miss Peggy..
So my friendly buddies & friends..
Anything will go hard when starting..
But it will go smoothly..
If you had found out the way to survive..
So just go to find out the way of surviving..

Loving and Missing you all..
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th month are coming..
Hope to hear from you all soon..
Keep in touch..
Take care & stay chill..
Don't worry..Be happy..

Journey to The West..

Date: 20th April, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0105..(21st April, 2008..)
Time in FRANKFURT: 1850..

Journey to the west..
A legend which talk about a Monkey King..
Probably most of the chinese should hear about this legend..
Hear about this legend since childhood..
So no need to waste the time for repeating again..
But now..
I just want to change this legend into modern life..
I just want to apply this legend onto my life..
But how??
Apply it on myself..
Apply it on my friendship..
Apply it on my relationship with my 2nd home..
Anyway..
Just need to enjoy on my "application"..

Today is Sunday..
Normally on every Sunday..
I will wake up & prepare myself well at 0800 automatically..
Why?? Sunday suppose is a day for rest & relax..
Yup..But not for me..
Because I rather choosing to go to my 2nd home..
Hui Yin Seh..A Buddhist Association..
But for me..
There is no longer a buddhist association..
There is my playground..
There is my 2nd home..

Why?? How so??
Because there are a lot of friends & buddies..
Because there are a lot of "Brothers & Sisters"..
Because there is just like the cave for the Monkey King..
In the Buddhist association..
I am just like the Monkey King..
Why?? How so??
Because I love to joke with everyone crazily..
Although I older than them..
Because I love to mix with everyone friendly..
Although I older than them..
Because I love to have fun with everyone happily..
Although I older than them..
I help them..they help me..
I love them..they love me..
I miss them..they miss me..

For sure..
There are a lot of differences among me & the Monkey King..
For examples..
Monkey King is a real monkey..
But I am a mankind who act like "monkey"..
Monkey King was given birth from a stone..
But I was given birth from my lovely parents..
Monkey King has 72 types of magic tricks..
But I have more than 100 types of mentality tricks..
Monkey King owned a Golden Stick as his weapon..
But I have a undefeatable mouth as my weapon..
Monkey King go to India for the buddhist metha knowledge..
But I go to German for the culinary art knowledge..

Monkey King have one master and 2 junior assistants..
His master is a monk..
His 1st assistants is a Pig Monster..
Who named as "The Pig"..
He loves to eat and women..
But his 2nd assistants is a Mankind..
Who named as "Sha Wu Jing"..
A mankind who always trip with his mind when giving ideas..

How about me??
I don't have a master or assistants..
I have my best friends and cousin as my assistants..
My best buddy who named "Arthur"..
He is just like my twin brother..
Even think and act almost same like me..
My 2nd best buddy who named "Yong"..
But I called him as "Fatty Pig"..
He loves to eat..But he loves his wife too..
My cousin.."Jack"..
But I call him "Baby Jack"..
He have the same characteristic with the Monkey King's 2nd assistant..

On the journey to the west..
I have the same situations with Monkey King..
We face a lot of barriers before succeed our journey..
We miss our Home..Loves one..Friends..Buddies..
We worry about them on every seconds..

Why I so worry about my friends and buddies??
I worry that are they still good??
I worry that are they keep learning??
I worry that are they keep visiting the 2nd home??
I worry that are they turn into a better level or worse??
I worry that are they still remember who am I??
I worry that are they still miss me??

But anyway..
The answer will be annouced when I am back home..
But for me..
No matter sleeping..
No matter working..
No matter reading..
No matter taking bath..
No matter doing what..
I also missing all of them..
Remember back all the memories..

Love and Miss you all..
Muaksz..zs..
Stay Chill..
I will always pray for you all..

P.S: Monkey Loves Bananas..
Bananas can make people feel happier after eating it..
For sure..I am not Bull-shitthing..
It is really stated in the sciencetific logical theory..
So..Believe & Trust me once..
Go to have 1 or 2 Bananas when you feel unhappy..
In an addition..Banana goes well with dark chocolate..haha
Cheers for Bananas..

Dream Chaser..

Date: 17th April, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0610..(18th April, 2008..)
Time in FRANKFURT: 2355..

Who don't have a dream??
Who don't plan their destiny for their future??
I think..
The percentage is very low for those who don't..

As an actor..
Who don't wish to be like CHOW YUN FATT??
As a programmer..
Who don't wish to be like BILL GATE??
As a business man..
Who don't wish to be like DONALD TRIUMP??
As a politician..
Who don't wish to be like Pres. CLINTON??
As a chef..
Who don't wish to be like Chef RAMSAY??

Coming to GERMANY for training is my dream..
It had fulfilled..
It is not bad..But great..
I can gain for more pride..
I can fight for more honour..
I can feel different than the others..
I can learn more skills and techniques..
I can explore more than the others..

But..
Sometimes I will feel regret..
Why??
Regret..Because choosing the training place far from home..
Regret..Because ignore the elders' advice..
Regret..Because choosing to chase for own dream..
But sacrificed everything arround me..

What I had sacrificed??
I had sacrifice the time with my family..
I had sacrifice the time with my loving one..
I had sacrifice the time with my friends and buddies..

Mama cook good foods and soups for us..
Papa spend time to joke and fun with us..
Friends using their times to help us when we need helps..
I really miss those days in home..
Luckily is just that 5 months..But not longer..
Even..
Sometimes I will wake up when heard someone shout from outside..
I though that sound is my mama asked me to wake up..
Home is always the greatest place in the world..

But now..
For this 5 months..
I have to fight alone..
Wash own clothes..
Cook own foods..
Count own expenses..
Although is regret..
But I can't turn back..
Because this is the pathway I had chosen..
I have to be responsible to my choice..
Just take this as a experince..
Just take this as a training..
Just take this as a challenge..

Nowadays..
I had learnt a lot..
Learnt how to appreciate..
Learnt not to blaime..
Learnt how to take care myself..
Learnt how to think for the love ones..
Learnt how to see things with heart..
Learnt how to keep own promises that I had made..

In this world..
There are no free lunch for anyone..
Choosing for dream..
Maybe have to leave the home to other place to explore more to get the dream..
But must have to sacrifice everything..
The time with family and friends..
Even the loving one..
But choosing for things arround you..
Then the situation will be 180 degree different from choosing dream..

To those dream chaser..
If just wanted to explore the world..
Why don't take a pack beg vacation for months??
It might have to spend some money..
But remember..
At least you didn't lose either of them..

Remember don't like me..
Everyone consider me as a clever person..
Everyone consider me as an independence person..
Everyone consider me as a kind person..
Sometimes I will admit it..
But I am too selfish to myself..
I choose to chase own dream to gain the pride and success..
But sacrifice all the loves..
Behind the successful dream..
All is uncountable tears..
All is unspokeable loneliness..

As my opinion..
"Do not choose the pathway for the destiny,
which can make you regret in the future.."
So be pleased to make a wise choice..

At here..
I want to beg the GOD..
Beg HIM for always staying aside and protect my family..
Beg HIM for always staying aside and protect my Miss Peggy..
Beg HIM for always staying aside and protect my friends and buddies..
Beg HIM for always staying aside and protect all of my juniors..
Wishing and blessing them stay and live healthy and happily for every moment..

Loving them..

P.S: So sorry to all of you who read my blog..
Sure you all still remember that I had promised to post photo??
Because of my family can't post it to me..
Why??
Because there are some small technical problems..
Till now still figuring out the way..
So I will try to write and describe more for the places and things that I had seen..
I will try the best to write more intresting..ok??

About photo..
I think I might try to borrow from others..
Or wait for the good news from my family..
Or else..there are no more photos to see..

If had taken photos..
Might have to wait me back to my hometown, PENANG to post it up slowly..
Because posting up photos is really take time..
So hope you guys can understand me..
So see ya 4 months later in August..

Don't Worry..Be Happy..

Date: 15th April, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 2300..
Time in FRANKFURT: 1655..

Today is Tuesday..
The day that need to replace Kevin for his shift..
I did not sleep for the whole night..
Why??
Because I afraid that I can't wake up in time to work..
Anyway the working time is till 1400..
So can sleep for whole day..
Don't worry..Be happy..

As Kevin told me..
In the breakfast shift is a hard life..
Not because wake up early to work..
But because in the morning shift have 2 old lady..
They are the chief chef for breakfast..
They can't speak well in English..
Even in German..
Because they are not German..
The 1st chief is from Indiana..
The 2nd chief is from Ukraine..
It is hard to communicate with them..
But..
Don't worry..Be happy..

I would like to call them as "The Breakfast Witches"..
Why??
Because their tradition of breakfast is unchangeable..
Even the executive chef also can't change them.
Although the breakfast is very expensive..
Although the guests are not staying in hotel..
But the guests are coming back and back for taking their breakfast..
The results is the guests love their breakfast..
Although unchangeable..
But..
Don't worry..Be happy..

Working with the witches..
I felt so bad and stress..
Bad because can't communicate..
Stress because afraid will ruin everything..
The 1st witch is quite nice..
Because she know I am new..
So she teach me step by step..
The 2nd witch is quite crazy..
Because she think I am a professional like her..
So she is worse than a devil..
Anyway..
Don't worry..Be happy..

Although can't communicate with them..
But I had been well trained to handle this situation from my home..
Just treat them with a smile..
They will be nice with you..
So now..
I know how to take care my mum when I am home..
So now..
I understood why my sister can always go well with my mum..
So..
Don't worry..Be happy..

Working with the 2 witches..
I have a mind set..
Train well the European languages before step into Europe..
Train well is not just beginner level..
Train well is can talk like an European..
Although can't communicate with them..
But also have fun..
So..
Don't worry..Be happy..

Although Europe is my dreamland..
But I think I prefer go to HONG KONG to extend my career with my cousin in the future..
I had travelled to HONG KONG before..
HONG KONG can make me feel like a home..
Maybe the people are also yellow skin like me..
Maybe the people speak same languages like me..
Maybe there is a place where also talk more about food and beverages..
So staying in HONG KONG might better to work in Europe..
But work in Europe also good and nice..
Overall..
Both of them also have their benefits..
But also feel nice for choosing to Europe..
Because I can learn and explore a lot..
So..
Don't worry..Be happy..

As a conclusion..
Don't worry..Be happy..
Dad and Mum..
Bro and Sis..
Always worrying about me sure make all of you very tired..
Always argueing about me sure make all of you very tired..
So be pleased to listen to me for this time..
Be happy..Because your youngest kid had grown up..
Be happy..Because your youngest kid can take good care of himself..
Be happy..Because your youngest kid finally know how to appreciate things with heart..
Be happy..Because your youngest kid start to know how to be a man..
Be happy..Because your youngest kid can be responsible to what he had done..
Be happy..Because your youngest kid can keep his promises..
Be happy..Because your youngest kid always thinking about his home every second..
Be happy..Because your youngest kid always missing and loving his family every second..
Therefore..
Don't worry..Be happy..

My Miss Peggy..
Be happy..Because your monkey willing to help you in every moment when you need help..
Be happy..Because your monkey loving you always and every second..
Be happy..Because your monkey missing you always and every second..
Therefore..
Don't worry..Be happy..

My friends and buddies..
Be happy..Because you all always in my mind..
Be happy..Because you all always is my friends..
Be happy..Because your craziest friend did not forger you all for any second..
Therefore..
Don't worry..Be happy..

Loving you all..Cheers..
Don't worry..Be happy..

Alone in the island..

Date: 12nd April, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0415..(13rd April, 2008..)
Time in FRANKFURT: 2200..

Since yesterday been a chiller boy..
From Today the 12nd April, 2008..Saturday
To next Wednesday the 16th April, 2008..
I have a 5 days free..
Oh my GOD..
I really don't have any idea what should I do..
For last time in my home..
I might go out with buddies for a movie or coffee..
But now..
I felt so empty in a sudden..

But luckily..
I have to replace Kevin for his working shift on Tuesday..
From 0500 to 1400..
Why have to replace him??
Because he is going to the "Staff Party" on Monday Night..
He will enjoy himself till the next day morning..

But I am not going..
Because I don't like clubbing life..
Too much liquor can cause you drunk..
Too much smoke can cause you hard to breathe..
Too loud for the music can cause you heart attack..
Too sharp for the lighting can cause you blind..
That is not my life-style..

In the same time..
In the morning when I woke up..
My family call me from MALAYSIA..
I felt so happy and supprised..
My mum asked me to be more careful..
DO NOT SMOKE..
"Hell no..I hate most", I answered..
DO NOT DRUNK..
"Sure..I drink beer for against the coldness when I need to..", I answered..
These are my priciples to survive..
These are my promises to all the people who waiting me home..

I believe that everyone also have their own principles of life-style..
But how strong are the principles??
For me..
Weak at home..Strong at outside..
Why??
Because this is a kind of self protect effect..
Because this is a kind of self training as well..

In GERMANY..
All of my colleagues..
They smoke cigarettes just like eating rice..
They drink liquors just like drinking plain water..
They love to mix arround..
They love to go clubbing..
They love to make party at home daily..
They love to porn and blue films..
Those are their culture and lifestyle..
But not mine..

Should I follow??
No..Why??
Because it is not my lifestyle or culture..
Because it is not the reason for me to survive..
I still have my family..
I still have my loving one..
I still have my friends and buddies..
I still have my buddhist association juniors..
These are the reason for me to survive..
These are the promises to them and myself as well..

Although the feeling is like staying alone in the island..
Just like Robinson Cruisoe..
But there are also a kind of joyce..
Joyce of standing still..
Joyce of growing up..
Joyce of keeping promises..

"No need to say it out loudly;
But need to proof it out proudly.."
(This is a phrase from me..)

So Mama..
Do not worry me..
I will take good care of myself..
Although these 5 days are quite long and boring..
Although these 5 months are quite long and boring..
But I had brought the some buddhist mettha and novels along with me..
So I will read them when I am free..
Otherwise I will watch CNN to spend my free time..
Besides..I had promised to take buddhist exam when I am back to HUI YIN SEH..

So Papa..
Sometimes I will feel regret as well..
But this is a golden chances for me..
So although the day is tough..
I also will stand strong till the day I am back..
That day is the day to proof that I really make it..
That day is the day to proof that I really keep my promises..
That day is the day to proof that I really I had learnt somethings..
That day is the day to proof that I really I really grow up..
I won't melt down so easily..
Because I am from WONG's family..
Because I have the best gien from WONG and LEE's family..
Because the WONG's blood is flowing in my body every second..

Loving myself..
Is just like loving everyone arround me..
Especially my family and loving one..
Responsible to myself..
Is just like responsible to everyone arround me..
Especially my family and loving one..

Praying for my Papa and Mama..
Praying for my Bro and Sis..
Praying for my Miss Peggy..
Praying for my friends and buddies..
Praying for all my juniors..
Love and Miss you all..

Time in MALAYSIA: 0545..(12nd April, 2008..)
Time in FRANKFURT: 2330..

Today is a quite free day in kitchen..
Because there is no buffet ..
But the "free" seem like not apply on me..
Because my section chef asked me go to clean all the chiller..
Oh my GOD..

In the kitchen..
There are 4 walk-in chiller..1 walk-in freezer and 1 small ice-cream freezer..
Which mean..
I have wash them all alone..
Oh my GOD again..
Anyway..
That is also a kind of challenge for me..
So I accepted..

Earlier I am thinking..
Why I am the one who wash these chiller??
It is really cold..
Wash..Wash..Wash..
Clean..Clean..Clean..
It is really quite fun as well..
It just like acting "Beach Boy"..
It is a kind of sport for me as well..
It just like playing Ice-Hockey..
Haha..

Washing chiller..
It can make me to be stronger to against the dirt..
It helps me to grow my muscle..
Washing chiller..
It can make me to be tougher to againse the coldness..
It helps me to grow up faster..

Washing chiller..
It can make my mind clearer to against my coming barriers..
It teach me how to think more..
Washing chiller..
It can make my mind think more about my home..
It teach me how to appreciate more..

Maybe you guys might think I had freaked out..
But for sure..
This is a real challenge for me..
This is a good chances for me..
I really know how to appreciate my moment now and future..

Thanks to my family..
Thanks to my Miss Peggy..
Thanks to my buddies..
Thanks to my friends..

Thanks to you guys always support me..
Thanks to you guys always helping me..
Thanks to you guys always encuorage me..
Thanks to you guys always lending me your hands..
Thanks to you guys always loving and missing me..

I really appreciate that..
Loving you all million times..
Missing you all billion times..

Stay chill..

My 3rd Home..

Date: 9th April, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0100..(10th April, 2008..)
Time in FRANKFURT: 1845..

My 1st home is the home with my family..
My 2nd home is my buddhist association with all my friends..
Then where is my 3rd home??
My 3rd home is a temporally home..
A temporally home for my 5 months training..

I am not staying in FRANKFURT..
But I staying in a small town..
Which name is SULZBACH..
It is a town which is arround FRANKFURT..the main city..
The city that the most west side in GERMANY..
FRANKFURT is near to PARIS as well..
Just need to take you for 3 to 5 hours driving distance to PARIS..

Although PARIS is my dreamland..
But I am not going there as well..
Because my expenses is just enough me to survive in GERMAN..
Anyway..
I am here for training..
But not to travel..
Want to travel??
Sure..But must with my parent and family..Include my wife as well..
Haha..

Well..Talk back to the topic..
My 3rd home..
SULZBACH..
Arround SULZBACH..
There is
Frankfurt Hochst..
Bad Soden..
These 2 is the town that beside SULZBACH..

My address is..
"TO: WONG CHEE HUNG
c/o Fa. Geiger.
Hauptstr. 23a
65843 Sulzbach
Germany."
(This is for my family or friendsd who want to post me somethings..
So just copy the address exactly..)

SULZBACH..
The word of "Bach" is mean small river..
Besides..
There is really is a small stream in SULZBACH..
Therefore the name of this town is get from the "river"..
Besides..
Inside there have a railway station..
This is the train for going to Bad Soden and Frankfurt Hochst..

In SULZBACH..
There is a church..
There are many shops..
There are many houses..
Somemore..A knife shop also located in this town..
Inside the shop can find a lot of chef knifes..
They all are the dream for a chef..
But the price is not the dream for a chef..

All of those small town that I had mentioned..
They all are surrounded by a snow mountain..
And the mountain is named as "AM TAUNUS ZENTRUM"
From far view..is just like the mountain in PENANG..
But closer view..can see some snow on the top of the mountain..

My working place to my 3rd home is 1km..
It just need 10 to 15 minutes walking distance..
It just need 5 to 10 minutes cycling distance..
Besides..
Nearby my working hotel..
There is a big shopping mall..
Inside the mall have over 200 shops..
Which means..
You can get anything from there..
Except Laundry and Internet Cafe..

Anyway..
I can get anything easily..
So before ending..
Blessing to my family..
Blessing to my friends and buddies..
Blessing to my Miss. Peggy..
Love you all..
Wish all of you happy always..

frm: HUNG, the lovely chef..

P.S: A small barrier for me..
My colleague is refuse to let me use Internet and Washing Machine in his house..
But never mind..
I will not go to laundry..
For saving reason..
I will wash it by my both hands..
About Internet..
I just can reply mails in hotel..
But for updating blog..
It maybe once or twice a month..
Because I have to go to Internet Cafe..
So for saving reason..Have to go lesser..

I just have to accept this all as a training or challenge..
Be strong..Be man..Be cool..
As my brother always teach me..
"The problem that can be solved is no longer a problem.."
I will remember it still in my heart..
What I had learnt from my home..my family..my friends..
Apply them all in the correct moment..
So don't worry me..
Take care and cheers..

Summer Day??

Date: 7th April, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0515..(8th April, 2008..)
Time in FRANKFURT: 2300..

Is it really a summer day which I wish??
If yes..It is a summer day..
Can anyone tell me why today will snow??
Oh my GOD..

What had happened today??
Well..
I woke up as usual..
Brush my teeth..
Take a bath..
Apply lotion..
Tidy myself..
After pack my beg..I go to work..

When reaching the door..
I had felt a kind of "unusual" temperature..
But after open the door..
Oh my GOD again..
Outside is snowing..
The freezing temperature is really freezing..
Although the thermometer is showing 3 degree celcius..
But I think it just have -3 degree celcius..

Earlier want to cycle to work..
But then..Just have to walk..
Walk in a freezing situation..
Luckily it is not a storm..
Or else..I might become a snowman..

Is this the weather for a summer??
Hell no..
This is the effect of global warming..
Pollution here..
Pollution there..
Pollution everywhere..

So please take care our planet..The EARTH..
The place where we stay..
The place where we grow up..
The place where we play with friends..
If this planet.. this place die..
Then we all are GAME OVER..
So be pleased to take care our planet..our home..

Anyway..
I love my family..
I love my friends..
Don't worry..
I won't get sick so easily..
Because I still have to come home time my healthy body..
But..
You guys must take good care..
Loving you all every moment..
Missing you all every seconds..

Malaysia & Germany..

Date: 4th March, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0745..
Time in FRANKFURT: 0130..

Today my mood is so good..
I had bought a cheap prepaid sim card at 19 Euro..
I had bought a cheap jacket at 9 Euro..
Even I also get a bicycle from my hotel..
Besides..
My colleagues who stay near me is so good..
He would like to let me on-line in house..
He would like to let me wash my clothes in his house too..
Wow-Ho..

Today I am not going to report my things..
As I came here is to exposure for new things..
Since being here for 11 days..
I had found out that..
The German are nice..
Although the girls are pretty here..
But most of them are smoker..
I think this is one of the reason that can make them slim down..
But Malysian..
Be cool..Don't learn to smoke because want to be prettier..

The German is so open minded..
They can even promote porn in the public..
They drink beer just like drinking water..
They smoke is just like eating rice..
Even their beer and ciggrarettes are cheaper than everything..
So you will see everyone is smoking or drinking when free..
As my opinion..
I don't think that this culture is so healthy..

For last time..
I would think that Malaysia is not good..
Everything suck..
But now I know that Malaysia have something good..
They make their culture better..
We can learn different languages in Malaysia..
German just know to speak well in German..
Talking English is just like making puzzles..

Even when I watching TV..
I found something proud to Malaysia..
They even advertise Visit Malaysia to the German..
I still remember..
When I on dutied as a "Service Chef" for buffet fuction..
A German told me that he had been Malaysia for once..
By the way..he love Malaysia culture and foods a lot..

But German have own benefits too..
They are so environment friendly..
Even throwing rubbish also have a lot of rules..
In Malaysia..
We just need to pack in one and throw..
In Germany..
Is need to pack into four..
1. Paper..
2. Plastic and Alumminium..
3. Food Wastage..
4. Glassware..
The government have the right to forfeit you if you pack wrongly..
Even buy things from the shop..
Must take own basket or plastic beg to contain the things that you bought..
Otherwise..they will charge you 50 cent for a small beg..

Besides..
The German is so peaceful..
Their gate is lower than me for a half body..
But in Malaysia..
The highest is the best..
Because afraid for the thieves..
But for German..
Their window will roll down a metal fence..
The fence is just like a shelter..
This fence have two usage..
1st. Avoid thieves break in..
2nd. Keep the house warm..

But if the fence using for the 1st usage..
I think the percentage is 1%..
Because even walking on the street at midnight also is safe..
The German is peaceful..
I love it a lot..
German is good..
Malaysia is cool too..

I sure that in this world won't have a 100% perfect thing..
Anyway..
Miss you all..my hometown..
Love you all..my family..
From now onwards..
I think I have a new different vision for my hometown, MALAYSIA..
I wish the new government can lead and rule us well..
Cheers..Malaysia..
Cheers..My Family..
Cheers..My Friends..

Home Sweet Home..

Date: 29th March, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0615..(30th March..)
Time in FRANKFURT: 2300..

Today is a different day from others..
Because the temperature had dropped..
Just only 11 degree for morning..
When night just only 7 degree..
The weather had became better..

But as usual..
Get up at 0900..
Brush teeth..
Take bath..
Applying lotion..
These had became my daily habits..
Although the temperature had became better..
But my desperation to get home is getting higher..
Even I had cried today..
The 1st time to cry since I am in Frankfurt..

WHY??
Because I read back the diary that I had written yesterday..
I really so miss my mama's voice..
I think my home now might be very quite..
Beacuse lack of the voice of arqueing between my mama & me..

Anyway..
I will take these as a challenge..
Just like my sister told me..
Don't worry..
Upset is Upset..
But I will still stand tough to fight for my future..
Even when going to work..
I also thinking about my family while walking..

By the way..
I am not regret..
Because this is my choice to come to Germany..
So just have to face it like a MAN..
But from today onwards..
I will get closer to MALAYSIA for 1 more hour..
Because usually is 7 hours..
But tomorrow will be summer day..
So have to push 1 more hour further..
So it just different to MALAYSIA for 6 hours..
Although summer is turning into warm..
But I can't feel warm..
Because my heart is cold..
Cold is because of lacking the warm from the home..

I am really missing my hometown..my family and my mama..
Now I really know why home & family is important..
Why home is always warm..
Because we have our parent and brother & sister..
They are really the best..

So please appreciate the time with your family..my friends..
Don't try to regret when they are gone..
That is too late..
Believe me..

Miss and Love them..
Always praying for them..Cheers..

Today I had a new idea..
I will write all my things that had happened in a diary..
Then will update it on my blog when I going to Internet Cafe..

Today is my 1st day to work..
I am so excited and tension..
Excited because finally can begin my training..
Tension because afraid can't communicate well with my colleagues..
But luckily..
All of them are so friendly and they can speak english as well..

Actually I start my work at 1200..
But I had been there at 1000..
Because it is my 1st day..
The 1st day to work..
The 1st thing to do is..
Cutting vegetables..
Because of my executive chef, Mr. Haas is off..
So my sous chef, Mr. Schneller in-charge me..
Luckily my cutting skill is not bad..
So pass all his test easily..

Following the trainig schedule..
I should have my proper section..
But since they all have to rush for a buffet function..
The function have to prepare for 800 pax..
So I just have to go anywhere to help..
Although is a bit tired..
But is good to me..
Cause I love to work..
And I can learn more from that..

But from break time..
I can see that all of my colleagues is smoker..
Even a 21 years old girl also a smoker..
So they tell me that..
Smoking is their meal..
But to me..
I hate smoke and smoking area..
But working with them..
Just have to be patient..

By the way..
They also good to me..
They treat me eat a lot..
They teach me a lot..
Even teach me where can find cheapest Internet Cafe..
Where can find cheapest phone card..
Which means..
Phone home can be cheaper..
On-line can be cheaper..

Anyway..
Take care & best regards..
I still have 115 days for training..
After that..
I will be home on the 22nd of August or latest is 25th of August..
But I want to be home earlier..
But can't arrange..
Anyway..

So staying at hostel read some novels..
While waiting the time to work..
But today I had made a new plan for my new life..
I had planned to online once a week or a couple weeks in Internet Cafe..
And call back home once or twice in a month..
But I will tried to send more mails back home de..
Because Mr. Nicholas can lend me his computer to check mail for 5 to 10 minutes..
But about posting new blog..
Just have to wait till I go to Internet Cafe..

Secondly..
I think I can't get any souvenirs back to you guys..
Even a little and cheapest thing..
Cause I found out that the bus and train fares in Europe are so expensive..
So all my earlier plan have to postpone 1st till I figure out a better way..
What is my earlier plan??

Today I will not write too much things..
Because it is still my rest day..
Also a boring day..
But something that make me sad..

I Miss My HOME..

Date: 26th March, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0015..(27th March, 2008)
Time in FRANKFURT: 1700..

What a freezing morning..
The morning was snowing..
The temperature int the morning was 3 degree celcius..
However..
I need to walk to meet the executive chef in the morning at 1030..
Kevin and I were shivering when walking to the hotel..
It is cold and freezing..

After 15 minutes..
We had arrived our training hotel..
It is so warm inside the hotel..

After that..
The executive chef took us to visit the kitchen..
The kitchen in Dorint Hotel is so big and clean..
Besides..The peoples inside is so friendly..
I also found something amazing here..
That is the door in the kitchen is automatic..
Just go near it..it will open automatically..

We also visited the canteen..
It is so big and nice..
Then we went to try our chef uniforms..
We had tried for many uniforms..
Finally we found our most suitable chef jackets..
But it does't have buttons..

After that..
We went to read our schedule time..
I found that today and tomorrow are my off-days..
I start to work on Friday at 1200 to 2100..
But..
Kevin has to work from today at 1200 to 2000..
Tomorrow worse..
Because he has to work at 0500..

Luckily..
The executive chef had prepared breakfast for us..
While we were having our meal..
A waiter who had just came to work..
He came to talk to us..
He is so friendly..

However..
I found something is so good on his personality..
That is he told us that he had worked in Dorint for 13 years..
Then Kevin asked him "Do you have the mind to change hotel??"
He said..workplace is come 2nd to him..
Because he placed his family and friends in the 1st..
All of his friends and family are in Frankfurt..
So he don't wish to change..

In that same moment..
I so miss my family and friends in PENANG, MALAYSIA..

After we finished our breakfast..
We walked back to our hostel..
Then Kevin change his uniform quickly..
Then he rushing to work..

How about me??
It is so BORING..
I just can tidy my stuffs..
Then I found that the room is so messy..
Because Kevin was eating breads around..
So in the room is full of bread crumps..

I just went to my house owner..
Borrowed a vacuum cleanner from him..
Then I started my "war" with the dust and bread crumps..

After that..
I finding mop..
But there is no mop in the house..
So I just have to use a piece of cloth to "mop" the floor..
So I just wipe and wipe..
After 20 minutes..
I done all the things..
I am so happy and exciting..

Suddenly..
My house owner knocked my door..
He given some of the chocolates to me as present..
Why??
I not sure the reason..Because he just said "you are good..work and work.."
I think is to praise me for cleanning the room for him..
Haha..

But after cleanning..
I found nothing to do..
But I so miss my family and friends..
So I had decided to go to the hotel to online..

While I packing to the hotel..
My house owner told me that he is going to work in his garage..
Besides..he told me he owned a Lamboghini and a Ferrari..
OH MY GOD..

After I packed my things..
I wear my slipper for outing..
Because I had adapted to weather..
Besides it is not snowing anymore and it is only 8 degree celcius..
However it is windy..But no consider is strong wind..
I just go down to the garage to have a look..
I so excited when saw his cars..
But he telling me..He modifing the cars is beacuse HOBBY..
OH MY GOD..

After a while staying in the garage..
I start my "journey" to my working hotel..
On my journey..
I found that the German are so rich..
It is easily to find Wolkswagen, Lamboghini, Mini Cooper, BMW, Mercedes.....
Besides..The taxi that took me to Dorint Hotel is Mercedes..

When I reached hotel at 1600..
I just came to a computer to online..
I decided to write my blog..
Because I can't online and write my blog at the night..
So I finished it earlier is better..
While writing blog..
I also chat to my brother and friends..
But chat for not too long..
Because in MALYSIA is 2315..

Anyway..
I always missing you..My Home..
I always missing you..My Family..
I always missing you..My Friends..
I always missing you too..Miss Peggy..
Good Night..

Hello Germany..Hello Frankfurt..

Date: 25th March, 2008..
Time in MALAYSIA: 0540..(26th March, 2008)
Time in FRANKFURT: 2130..

Hello Germany..Hello Frankfurt..
At 1330, I had arrived Frankfurt, Germany..
Oh My Godness..The temperature here was just 6 degree celcius..
When my classmate, Kevin and I came out from the airport,
there is a taxi driver sent us to Dorint Hotel..

When we reached to the hotel..
We talked to the executive chef, Mr. Haas..
His face is quite fierce..
But he likes to joke..
After the discussion,
Mr. Haas asked the front office manager, Mr. Nicholas send us to the hostel..

My hostel is 1km away from my training hotel..
Is quite far..But luckily the weather here is cool..
While I was on my way to the hostel..
In my mind was all the bad and old room..
"The wall is cracking..
The floor is full of water..
The bed is going to break into two..
The table is full of dust..
The light is dim like the haunted ghost house.."

When I reached my hostel..
There was an old man..
He is the house owner..
He took us to our room..
when open the door..

OH MY GOD..
It is so amazing..
This is because..
All of the thinking that had appeared in my mind just now..
Was mistaken..
Why??
"The wall is nice with the beautiful green and blue wallpaper..
The floor is made from the modern wood..
The bed is amazing..
The table is clean..
The light is bright and warming.."

The house owner told us to take care the cleanness in the room..
This is because he said last time..
When my seniors staying in his place..
They made his place from heaven become hell..

We start to unpack our things into closet..
After we had done all the things..
The day was staring to turn into dark..
So we just walk around our hostel there..
Then we found a mini market..
The distance from our hostel is just that 1 minute..
So near..
So we just walked in and bought some breads and washing detergen..

Unfortunately..
When we paying the money..
The sale girl told us that if we request for a plastic beg..
It is charged for 50 cent..Of cause is counted in Euro..
Why??
This is beacuse the German here is environment friendly..
They buy things with their own basket or paper beg..
But all the things we had bought is paid by Mr. Kevin..
Which means, I no need to use any money that my dad had given to me..

After buying everythings..
We went back to our hostel..
Then it is starting to snow..

At about 1900..
Kevin had gone to bed..
I think is because he can't adapt with the time zone yet..
But I had gone to take my bath..
Eat some breads as dinner..
Tidy my things..
Then I also went up to my bed on 2200..

Take Care & Best Regards..
To my Home..
To my Family..
To my Friends..
To miss Peggy..
See ya..
