It all started at the beginning of the last semester. I was bored to death and learned non-chalantly. What do you expect when you only do one paper? So after Pek U informs me of the TUI All You Can Fly ticket, the travel bug in me bought me.
The ticket first take me to Sardegna, an an autonomous island of Italy. If I write about it, this post will be filled with words like beautiful or breathtaking. So I'll let the photo do its job.
(About the title, "Meer" is sea in German and Maria will be explained in the next post.)

This is my blog roll. I will update this accordingly and will add more links later.

money & goal
Dear readers ...
Do you make money as your goal ...
OR
Do you make money as an enabler to your goal?
Think about it.
balance
Ever heard people say the world is unfair. Of course, isn't it?
But frankly speaking, if you open your eyes wide enough and give it some time to think, you'll see that the world is fair indeed.
Okay just let me give you an imaginary example. Say in a class, there were a NERD and a TREND SETTER. TREND SETTER was always mean to NERD. Sticking gum at the seat of NERD, sticking pages of NERD's book with glue and hitting hime here and there to get some money. You know, the usual bully stuff. Now, NERD was a bright student but given the age cannot think far enough so he always thought that God wasn't being fair. 15 years after that, fueled byhis passion of physics and adrenalin rush, NERD becomes a roller coaster designer, creating many for amusement park around the world. TREND SETTER has becomed an average guy with an average job. Not really a trend setter anymore. He always bring his kids to the amusement park that has NERD's roller coaster.
Now, this example maybe a little bit far fetched but my point is, the world is fair. You must give it time and think about it. The 3 or so bucks NERD gave when TREND SETTER hit him back in their schooling day are given back to him in multiple in the form of admission fee to the amusement park. No need for hitting or taunting.
If you're feeling that the world in unfair or you're being treated unjustly, be patient and see the world from a different perspective. Maybe you'll be feeling a whole lot better.
falling down
I woke up to falling snow.
I, for one, was always a fan of watching things fall down. Back in Malaysia I enjoyed watching rain (From inside the warm safety of a home or room, obviously.) and hearing the sound of raindrops crashing to ground. There's also a distinctive and particular smell during rainpour. All those combined and minus the mosquitoes searching for safehaven make me feel calm and comfortable. Add a windchime to the equation, it can be a blissful experience engineered by nature. And after all that (And maybe after some piping hot fried rice or a cup of malaysian mix coffee and biscuits, the rectangular one ...) maybe a rainbow will appear to make a grand closing to a great experience.
In Germany, it rarely rains so hard. Rain always come in an unmotivated trickling. So I rarely get the chance to enjoy a heavy downpour. But in winter, sometime I do get to enjoy snowfall. Now snowfall is another experience all together than rain. Swowfall (Not snowstorm!) is a calming experience. All about it is calming. First of all, the air becomes sort of cleaner and a pure bliss to breath in. You can lose yourself in the slow and random motion of the snowflakes. And after that, snowfall leave your surrounding white making you feel pure. (Okay, don't be so curious like Rawai or you won't be feeling so pure :p )
So people, enjoy the force of gravity =)
are you sure?
Have you ever come around to a situation where you snapped at people for asking an obvious question. Depending on the people I sometimes do. Talk about double standard *sigh*
That aside, I bet most of us have gone through this situation, more or less.
Asking an obvious question sometimes isn't so obvious. Depending on the situation and current mood people can react differently. Say two women meet each other at a shooping mall. They're just got to know each other through a common friend and don't know much about each other. Let's call them Miss Single and Mrs Pregnant.
The scene is always the same. Mrs Pregnant was using the escalator downstairs and saw Miss Single oggling some blouse. Mrs Pregnant asks Miss Single, "Ah hi Single! Shopping? Are you alone?". Now come the situations where Miss Single would answers differently.
Situation A: Miss Single thinks this is just a stupid question and just answers "Yes" indifferently (Snapping at a person you just know seems kinda inappropriate.)
Situation B: Happy to see a new friend, and that is what is she doing anyway, she answers "Yeah, I'm looking around and maybe buy a few!" happily.
Situation C: She said no and adds, "I'm looking around to get inspiration for my design. I told you I'm a fashion designer, didn't I?.". She beams with a smile.
If you consider situation C, the question is not so stupid and obvious anymore. "There's no stupid question, just stupid answer." is right after all.
collecting, fansubbing and stuff
I like collecting stuff since I was small. I had a stamp albim, coin album etc etc. Nowadays my interest has taken a turn but nevertheless I'm still collecting stuff (I should gave up some though), like EURO coins, magic cards, novels and dramas to name a few.
My drama collection has expanded exponentially during the past years but it has been quite stable for a while. Maybe use becanow I'm a bit choosy and I've finished all great past dramas. To make up for it, I join several fansubs as a freelancer. I'll list down the drama and the link to d-addicts at the end of the post.
Fansubbing world has too many enemies. Although fansubbers don't make a penny out of their pocket (Sometime they give out their OWN money because of server mantainance, among others.), they're under the constant threat from the media and entertainment company. On the other hand, there are a bunch of stupid people and opportunist who grab their work and sell it on the net. Mind you the works of fansubbers are top notch and pawn official translators anytime.
One example is this GUY/GIRL. I hope you guys don't buy from him/her and spread the words. That person even has the guts to update the series as fansubber release their work. Now I'm working now One Pound Gospel with a team and that site *almost* had the same update with our team. Someone has buy some of the dvd there to confirm the content and it's true. For people who likes questioning and don't believe reasoning like "Someone has ..." (I know a person *lol*) and the like, you can try downloading and tehn buy it to make a comparison (Though I'm not encouraging it, that's pure waste of money.)
I think I'll stop down before my post becomes a rant. Signing out and may you found a great drama to make up the boring life here in Hardbreadland *gloomy*.
