Some info updates

I guess i was too excited about the whole German thingy that i forgot to introduce you guys to my hostel. Well basically I'm staying in a student hostel, where people from different parts of the world stay. there are Tunisian, Afrikaans, Brazilian, Chinese.....u name it, we got it.... Its very near to the Mannheim University. It's kindda like any other hostel such as KSDS, K9, K10 and so on, but it has 2 shared bathrooms and a shared kitchen per floor.the room is quite small, the size of KSDS rooms. For you guys that have not stayed in KSDS, the room size is just like 3m x 5m or so...small but i think its fine with me, as long as it has fast internet..kindda like that Sun Yan Zi song...Wan Mei De Yi Tian, where she wants a house and one of its room has fast internet....haha. The rent is 203 euros per month which is RM900++. its not too far my office, a 15 min walk every morning.
I think the coolest thing abt my hostel is the elevator. The 1st thing is it has 2 doors. well its not a normal 2-door elevetor. Usually some places like the hospital have elevators with the door in the front and the back, but this elevator has doors in the front and the right. U enter the elevator on the ground floor through the front door and exit the 3rd floor(my floor) through the right hand side door. But there is a primary door and 2ndry door.the 1st door is like a normal door which opens outwards exepet this door is metal(see the pic on the left). The 2nd door....well this is when things get interesting, you enter the elevator and press the 3rd floor button, but nothing happens. u press it again, yet nothing happens,then start to panic.Now you just notice that you cant even find the close door button, u panic even more. Then as u want to get out of the elevator, the door closes. When the 2ndry door closes you really feel like going into one of those Alien Resurrection movies, with the black and yellow stripes on the door frame and the sound of the door closing, it getting spooky now.... But, then u find a reassuring sign on the elevator wall. So the elevator is on its journey up to the 3rd floor and u start wondering what other surprises await you.. maybe an Alien will come out of the roof or maybe the elevator will stop and thousands of aliens will come down on you...? So, you arrive at the third floor. the elevator stops and the right hand side door opens....as a finale to the whole Alien Resurrection experience, you see the 3rd floor primary door with a crack, on the window.....i guess it was from the previous battle with the aliens.........What kindda ppl stay here u ask urself...

My office.....

My office is quite cool, a really modern looking office, very nice people and a really cool boss. However im starting to realize how hopelessly left behind i am in programming, and im starting to get blurr when my colleagues are talking. Looks like i have to ganbatte!!! Its kinda like a PSM topic you have chosen and you think you cant do it, but u just have to finish it if you know what's good for you. However we have a real kick a$$ coffee machine which grinds fresh coffee beans to make the coffee.... its like the machine in Starbucks.... And we have a really gigantic colleague which is maybe 220cm tall, i think he is at least half a meter taler than me. he hast mind his head when he comes into the office... but i really cant remember his name..im bad with names:P

Honey I shrunk my pants!!!

I washed my clothes for the first time last saturday. I had to buy a token for the washing machine but the drier is free. So i went and put my clothes in the washing machine and put in the soap and stuff..no problem.... an hour later i came by and put the cloths in the drier, i put it at the driest setting and 1 hour later i came back to pick up the cloths with out any suspicion that anything went wrong. Today i got one of my pants and put them on, to my surprise i could not fit in them,,,, they shrunk.....it shrink at least 2 inchs of the normal size, so i have to shed 2 inches before i can wear it again:P.....oh well, why not...?hahaha..

OK... i think thats all for now....hope u enjoyed my stories...see you guys....
