I cook my own food, too

You always say you cook your own food in Germany. Agio Olio, fried egg, rice, sandwiches etc. I guess by the time you finish your 2-year course, you can be a part-time chef already. Actually you are not the only one who does cooking. I do cook once in a while, too. The last cooking session was in Aburiya, Clark Quay. Apparently there is also one Aburiya japanese char-grill in Holland Village. We have never notice that before. It is just opposite Subway.

My cooking session was initiated by big boss who wanted to show his appreciation towards a group of us who contributed in organizing an out-of-office meeting. Before we started to cook, the waiter pour some hot burning charcoal into the clay pot. Then we ordered beef, beef and more beef. Slices by slices, we placed them onto the grill. The smell is really good.

It was interesting looking at the raw red meat slowly turned into my dinner. Besides beef, we had some vegetables such as corn, paprika, onion and garlic. Ya!! Whole garlics and there are a dozen of them!! But in the end, nobody touched the garlic at all.

We also ordered 3 pots of korean rice for our carbo intake. If not, we would have spent a fortune on meat alone. The rice is well seasoned and the hot stone pot keep the rice warm at all times. Anyway we ate up everything before it turned cold.

We had a few cups of cold sake also. The small cup is beautiful.

1st Week in Munich

I was on the plane and start to think y am I on the plane now. The flight was delayed and u have 50% chance of that happen for thai airways. SO much for the sky alliance. Next time dont pack anything more than 100ml and sharp item. Check in those things. The delay was almost 3 hrs and i was waiting for the transit flight at Suvarnabhumi. Luckily Regine was there to pick me up at the airport.

I have got used to the weather in Munich and it seems things are much better compared to 5 years ago. I used to feel bored with Germany until I realised that it was too hectic in Singapore. Perhaps what human need is some peace and quiet and rest. When i reached here i have some jet lag but now is ok. Tons of document to settle and Offices here open for half day most of the time. Relaxing indeed. I queued for the matriculation from 9am to 1pm thats a long q indeed. TUM just changed to the plastic studentenausweis. Everything is in German and i need to brush up my german. I have started my cooking, i dont do that in Singapore. Here it seems I have all the time I want. No distraction. I miss my moo moo so i fix up my pfingo to call her.

She say the frequency that I call her seems as though I am in Singapore. At least i am still connected to my frens in Singapore. The place seem pretty safe. The transportation is pretty efficient. Hopefully my frens will come and visit me soon. Heard that the winter will go up to -10 C. Now it is still autumn. I will need to go to extend the visa by end of Oct. In dec the germans will take leave till Jan so no one will be working then.

My master course is having its first intake and we have 22 students 75% rom Asia with 13 nationality (almost an UN)

Still have my ACCA in Dec at Prague.
