Monday Morning Rain is Falling...

Hey,

First Monday of the year. I'm just filling in awe. Things are going well. School is going to start next next week. This semester i'm planing to have fun. Workout more and try my best to make friends with the Americans. Tough people to make friends with...

Anyway, i took some pictures of my friend's place. i took downstairs only. He didn't want me to take pictures of all over the house as it might a track bad company.

I mostly took pictures of the kitchen...

This is the kitchen. Quite big.

next to the kitchen is the dining room.

Study room

basement. To be secure when there is a tornado coming.



the whole i was out with my friend. I went out with him to church to hear him preach. There was a leaders summit in their church. I wanted to hear him speak. He speak on the time that Christians are slowly disappearing because new culture and new believes. It was quite a profound message. Powerful one that hit the hearts of the leaders in the meeting. It was shocking.

After the meeting. I went to eat McDonalds by myself. My friend was fasting. The McDonalds here is totally different. Is cheap. And fast. And taste different.

I order a double cheese and McChicken for 6 dollars. Which i guess is about 20 RM by now. That's expensive. Well double cheese was 1 dollar and McChicken meal was 4 with tax is about 75 cents. So it comes down to 6 dollars. Well if i'm a American it would be cheap. But a foreigner is expensive.
I have been praying very hard that the exchange rate would drop more. Evil prayer.

Later, i went with my friend for a hospital visit. The hospitals here is so strict. Before you can visit a patient you have to check-in with security. You have to bring an ID and so on. Why they do this here? Because of divorce. Parents that are divorce and have kids will have custody over who get the kids. So if they don't have security checks, the parent with no custody over the kid might one to kidnap. Of course there is other issues too for the security but the divorce is mostly the main reason.

America is one complicated country, with complicated systems, yet they are the most influence nation to the world.

After the visit, we went shopping for food to buy back to cook. We went to a korean store. In the store i found milo. OMG. It was worth buying it. It was quite expensive. For one tin of 500 grams is 5 dollars. And 1.5 kg is 14.99. And we found a 24 packet milo for 20 dollars. It expensive but he wanted to spent on me. So he got me one tin and the packet of milo. Oh is worth drinking it again. The taste was just right.

Here is a picture for prove...

It cost total for 24 tins is 20 dollars
