Yo, here was the another book that I had just completed. For your information, I bought this story book in Standard Six. It was a long time already, wasn't it? There were two stories altogether in this story book and it was a Chinese version. Am I too bad? Frankly speaking, my English was absolutely terrible in my primary study. I bought it in a book fair organised in my primary school.
This book was written by R.L. Stine and the stories were 'Monster Blood' and 'Say Cheese and Die'. I managed to finish the first story some time ago. Since I was so free recently, I searched for this story book and re-read the book again. Goosebumps was the book that got numerous awards and it was the book that caught many children's interest. It was the best selling story book across the world before 'Harry Potter'.
The author was so great that I was fully attracted to reading the stories. The author was good in description and illustration. The way he wrote the story was what I was impressed the most. The readers were keen on reading the stories chapter after chapter. Indeed, it would be a non-stop reading as you were desperate to know what would happen next. Congratulation, Goosebumps was the first ever story book that impressed me and caught my attention and interest. I believe that, I'll find the full series one day and finish them up.

Scenes of Clerical Life
Well, well, well, I had just finished this novel today.
This novel was written by George Eliot, who was a female author. Yes, you don't see wrongly, the author was a female. There were three stories altogether in this novel, talking about religious issues regarding Evangelicalism and Christianity via designated characters based on the author's observation and experience.
If you've not forgotten, I bought this novel together with 'The Keys of Hell' seven years ago. This novel was 431 pages in total and it tested my patience initially as there were lots of the author's backgrounds at the beginning of the book. Frankly speaking, I almost quitted reading it.
Therefore, what is my preference between the 'Scenes of Clerical Life' and 'The Keys of Hell'? I prefer the latter one. Even though the stories in the 'Scenes of Clerical Life' were more touching and melancholic but the plot of 'The Keys of Hell' was more entertaining. Besides, it used quite a lot of old English words which I couldn't search for meanings in my dictionary because the first story was produced in 1857.
Overall, it's quite an accomplishment to complete this novel within one month. I think, these two novels would be my last novels as I don't think I would buy any by-and-by. I look forward to chatting with you guys soon and we shall see what's coming up next. Stay tuned.

Performance Based Measures On Stock Returns
Hi, guys. Today's title is the name of Dr Wong's book. I'm proud to announce that I had just finished reading this book. Actually, I could have finished it earlier but due to some circumstances, I could only do so today but it didn't matter.
This is a small paperback book with 161 pages in total from Chapter 1 to Appendix. I just completed my review on the book, hopefully there would be more readers. I don't want to disclose so much here because I've to respect the copyrights. If you were interested, go and get one. My personal advice is, it's worth reading but the price seems to be too expensive.
I shall quote some sentences which amazed me here. ' It was found that people tend to take more risks to avoid losses than to realise gains.', 'Faced with sure gain, most investors are risk-averse.', 'Faced with sure loss, investors become risk-takers.' I found these particularly true and these were the theories from Behavioral Finance.
There're a variety of measurements can be used to evaluate or value a stock and now I know which one of them is better because the analysis done by Dr Wong was thorough, she even showed the formula and steps involved. Nonetheless, I do hope that more detailed explanations can be provided. I think, it's okay as I can call Dr Wong to clear my doubts. This is my privilege.

Frequent Questions After Graduation
When one knows that I've graduated, most of them definitely will ask me one question: "Have you worked? Where is it?" Frankly speaking, I'm not fond of this. Why one must work after graduation? Who sets this rule? Is it mandatory?
It's okay if I'm doing nothing at home. I've things to do. I don't blame you since you don't understand what I'm doing. What I can tell you is, I don't regret on my decision. I still have lots of things to complete, indeed I'm a busy man nowadays. Don't worry about me, I've my own plan, I know what I'm doing. Everything'll be settled soon. Trust me, just give me more time and I'll prove it to you.
Last week, my dad suddenly asked me a very funny question: "Are you sure you want to work in BURSA?" What do you think my answer was? He seemed to start allowing me to invest in shares after knowing briefly about my investing concept. Thanks, dad but even though you protest, I'm adamant on my decision as well.
If I could know my ACCA's results by now, I even can move forward more quickly. However, it doesn't mean that I'll wait for their arrival. Things need to be planned in advanced and this is my style because I'm more comfortable when things are organised.

Consumer's Right
Well, everything is settled!
Before I went back to my hometown, I already thought of settling my house's problem. One week after I came back to Penang, Streamyx's agent called me asking me to upgrade my Streamyx's package. They offered me Superspeed Me's plan to upgrade my existing plan to 1 Mbps with a cost of RM110 per month including telephone charges but we paid the original price in the first three months. Streamyx caught me because I was desperate to download animes and dramas. I agreed for the conditions.
It turned bad after the agent changed my modem. The speed became extremely slow! My sisters complained to me about this and they mentioned that the speed was even worse than the previous 512 kbps. I phoned to Telekom immediately for help. As usual, they just asked me to replug the wires and reconfigure the modem. I followed their advice but the things didn't get better.
Finally, they sent an agent to my house. The agent came in the morning. Everything was okay and the download speed even exceeded 1000 kbps. He didn't believe what I said. I told him that the speed at night was not more than 700 kbps. He even challenged me to call him when the speed was such low.
Alright, I challenged him back by telling him that I would print screen down as a proof. I did so almost everyday when the download speed's test was unsatisfactory. I printed two screens down immediately after the previous one so that Streamyx had no excuse to ask me reran the test. This was my style, once I took action, I wouldn't let the opponent had any excuse to counter-react!
I did it for almost two weeks. Then, I went to TM Point to make my complaint. Initially, I planned to see their manager, at least, their supervisor as what Jared did last time. However, I gave them a chance by taking the number waiting for the customer service.
The staff told me that she couldn't help me much but just to call to Telekom on the spot for me. She was nice and felt strange when I told her that the download speed was down only after nine o'clock at night. She felt so anxious when I answered the call. Yes, I lost my patient on that time. I queried the person in charge on the phone that what was the purpose to upgrade my previous package since the new one was worse than previous one!
The staff help me to do a report immediately and took my printed print screens for scanning. Before I went back, I met Aldy (or Eldy), he was with A.Y.Y.J.. I told them that, if things still remained the same, the next time I came would be seeing their manager.
The day after that, the speed's back to normal. I thought, they changed the port in my apartment since mine is an old apartment. Alright, Streamyx's thing was settled.
The next one would be Astro. For your information, my Astro remote control couldn't function. I mean I have to use the remote control near to the decoder, sometimes it comes out with different number as pressed. When we first installed the Astro, the agent came quite a number of times but they also had no idea regarding this problem, finally they relinquished. I called to Astro centre but they claimed that this was due to my new Sharp LCD television whose frequency was too strong, causing the frequency sent out from the remote control via infrared affected. They even argued that the Sharp should compromise with them by altering their design. Okay, I accepted that time.
However, I want to rebelled now since I pay for the Astro monthly and now two years had gone long time ago, hence it's time for Astro to devise a decoder coping with my Sharp LCD. Otherwise, I shall reserve the right to terminate the Astro's service.
Nonetheless, Astro seemed to know my intention, they called me offering me to change the latest Astro Beyond decoder to me before I went to trouble them but with a one-time payment of RM20. They said that Astro would collect all the old models and replace the Astro Beyond to us.
Today, the Astro's agent came and did the replacement. It's good. The size is smaller and my previous problem is resolved! I even can watch HD channel but I don't know how long will all these be sustained. Anyway, thank you.
In my opinion, I pay for the service, then I'm hoping to get the equivalent quality. If I don't get that, I'll protest until things're solved. I'll not tolerate suppliers taking unfair advantage on me. The next thing I want to fight for is the transfer rate of Streamyx. Even though the download speed exceeded 1000 kbps but the transfer rate doesn't exceed 140 kbps. For your information, our speed depends on the transfer rate but not the download speed. 140 kbps is not even reaching 20% of 1000 kbps, therefore why we need to pay such a low speed with such a high price since they quote RM110 for 1 Mbps but not 140 kbps. Nevertheless, they won't change if I'm the only one who protests. I need support!

Aura
Recently, I can't control my temper. I felt that sometimes I was uncontrollable. Everything seems not to be in my way and I wants to annihilate all of them.
For your information, I watched Dragon Ball anime. I believed that Dragon Ball was the most popular anime in our childhood, wasn't it? Everyone knows it, especially males. I downloaded the full series, ranging from Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball GT. I decided to watch this anime as it was interesting, fascinating, impressive and most importantly, I skipped or missed a lot of episodes when I watched it in my childhood.
When we were small, everyone wanted to be Sun Goku. He is the main protagonist in this anime. I like his attitude. He had never given up and would try his best in order to make him strong and eliminate the enemy. I admired him so much when I was small. However, these few days, I felt that I admired Vegeta more.

Do you still remember all these characters? I'm so confident that no one would forget them. Even though the actions and motions seem to be unrealistic, it is still enjoyable and attractive. Hence, I would like to show my highest gratitude to the author of this comic, Akira Toriyama. Thanks for giving me a very good childhood.

He had never given up and would try his best in order to make him strong and eliminate the enemy. I admired him so much when I was small. However, these few days, I felt that I admired Vegeta more.
This is Vegeta. Last time, I hated his cunning face and weaker power than Goku's. Nonetheless, in Dragon Ball Kai, I like his determination. He obliterates all the opponents with no mercy. Due to this, he's always safe and I would like to label him as a 'prudent man'. He would try whatever means in order to accomplish his mission. I find that this is the real way of survival in this era.
I don't mean that I like him and would be like him but his determination and moments with merciless are what I'm going to copy or learn. Due to this, I would try to suppress my aura (杀气）like what Goku and others did. Nowadays, my aura was too aggressive! I was also scared of myself, sometimes. This will only bring catastrophe to me and hence I'll suppress it to an acceptable level.
No matter how it is, as long as I'm still generous, it's okay. 心存善念，日种善苗，则除恶根. Ergo, the combination of Goku and Vegeta will be best suit me. Let's see.

Post 06/12 ACCA's Review
这个星期是我ACCA最后两科的考试日子。首先是周二，我大概两点半就到TARc了。我到Foyer去，看见骏权，他还记得我。他告诉我说现在是他Diploma最后一个semester，之后并不打算继续深造了，他要踏入社会工作了。
这时，我遇见Mr Lee。其实，如果我没有猜错，之前在我车前的车主是他。他很意外我在那儿，他更意外的是我竟然拿P4。他问我会吗？我也只答他:" Should be okay, Dr Wong is back! She forced us to do all the ACCA past year questions and she found a lot of questions from both Kaplan and BPP for us, so I think we should be okay."他感到很欣慰。临走前，还祝福我。
原本我是不在乎的，因为能做的，都做了，又能怎样？我们只是冀望Mr Shishir Malde可以“放水”，千万别出那么难的题目。拿了题目一看，觉得还不赖，因为我们都知道题目要什么，很可惜，我竟然不会做！为何？原因在于，即使我知道题目的要求，但是我不晓得如何去解那些问题。Scenario里有很多资料，帮我们省了不少功夫，可是关键的数目却要花我们很大的功夫！
在当时的气氛，我竟然想不出来。当时的情形，就像O.T.M.所说的，我们是一面回答问题，一面以泪洗脸的。其实，我当时真的很压力、恐惧、无助，我很想放弃！偏偏我又深知我不可以那么做。犹豫不决、下手不够果断导致我花了半小时来做只有八分的问题！很差劲吧！回答完第一题时已经花了我至少一个小时半！我很恍惚，我不知所措！
考完试后，我找俊鸿他们重温刚才的题目，因为Dr Wong拜托我把题目转告他。回到车里，我立即打电话给Dr Wong向她报告战况。今天下午，她致电给我。我告诉她，其实题目很简单，难度在于我们不会找题目所需要的数目！我还告诉她我可能会fail，她也吓了一跳！对不起，Dr Wong，我也不知道我当时在做什么，我的脑袋就是不能操作！基本上，我连平时的我也不如。但是，Dr Wong还是勉励我，要我hope for the best！
星期五考P6，情况也没有改善！题目也是很简单，难度再于我严重缺乏信心！考官这次真是在考我们Year 1的知识，若是去年考我的话，那些题目简直就是a piece of cake。P6也充分地体现了我的愚蠢。今早我在Facebook上看见我邻居的post :"Stupidity refers to when you know the truth but still believe the lies!"因此我觉得我真的是愚蠢！既然我都有section支持我，但我却相信我自己的幻想！为什么我当时不能够再理智一点呢？
看来，我这次的ACCA考试是输定了！我从来没有在考完试后，还那么彷徨的！这次，我是史无前例的没有信心！我也已经打定输数，接受那两科同时fail了！但是，就像Dr Wong说的，我还可以hope for the best啦！
我究竟出了什么问题？如此地没有信心、如此地狼狈、如此地一塌糊涂！明知的东西，却去选择另一个虚假！我简直就像是“鬼遮眼”似的！或许是我不够睡吧，我的头脑无法发挥！我丝毫没有思考的能力！心理素质更别谈了！史无前例的脆弱！我想，我是时候碰到人生中第一次的fail了吧！
不管怎样，过去了，就让它过去吧！我已经不能改变什么了，再多的埋怨也是徒劳无功的！现在最重要就是振作，从新站起来。此时，我才发现原来我，好累。。。。。。

Dr Wong
Well, today's topic is about my dedicated and most respected lecturer in TARc KL Main Campus, Dr Wong Pik Har.
As you may know, I disliked her initially because I thought she was stubborn and picky after hearing some rumours about her. Maybe Dr Amy left some bad impressions to me, hence I was not fancy on Drs. I know it's unfair to her, sorry. This continued even though she started to take over the subject from Ms Chang.
Then, in one of the special classes, her left hand started to pain. She asked E.S.H. for help in preparation and removal of the socket used for overhead projector and microphone's speaker. Since I was so close to E.S.H., I had no other option but to accompany him and help him out. Gradually, we became her official helper. We would arrived at her staff room 15 to 30 minutes earlier to help her carrying her bags and books.
Since that, my perception on her changed. We got to know each other better and communicated more. I could see her sacrifice, effort, commitment, caring and love. The way she taught us, guided us, punished us and advices were invaluable. Students became touched and willing to fight for her.
Every time we were in her staff room, she would told us about her plan and key performance indicators. She even consulted us before implementing her plan. Certainly, I knew that she wanted to hear real words, ergo I had never lied in front of her. I would talk to her, correct her mistakes on the spot mercilessly. She would accept if they were reasonable.
She's not similar to Dr Amy. She cared about her students. She would cry or upset when her students didn't perform well. Even if she was told that those students left in P4 Advanced Financial Management were just the residue, meaning that those clever, smart or top students had left for other option papers after knowing that a part-time lecturer would in charge, she still wanted to shape her 'diamonds'. However, we have the same motive, we want to prove to the world that we can do it! We want the one who despised us to keep his/her mouth shut!
She would insist to fetch us to lecture hall even if we declined since the DK 7 was near to the staff room. I think, E.S.H. and I were the ones who were in Dr Wong's car the most. Due to this, some students felt that we were 'polishing her shoes' but we were adamant on our position, we knew what were we doing.
She conducted extra class for us in order for us to catch up. Therefore, I still remembered the day when she finished all the syllabus. She was so excited that we managed to accomplish it. She gave gifts to those who scored well in her assessments. T.H.K. was one of them, congratulation. Other than those with excellent results or improvement, she also prepare a present to our option paper's representative, O.T.M.. He deserved that present since he was so dedicated and sacrificing everything for our sake as well. Definitely, a token of appreciation was given to E.S.H. and me for our help. As a result, E.S.H. and I returned a token of appreciation to her on the final day.
Most of the students were not dare to ask her questions, so did I. I was scolded for challenging the formula because she said we were not clever enough, we just borrowed the formula from mathematicians, hence we should not challenge the formula. I was the one who needed to know how the formula were derived from in order to master the formula. Since that, I was not dare to ask her anymore. Another factors were she wanted us to discuss among our group and do some online surveys before reaching her, the final resort.
The way she taught was special, she taught us the concept but not the method, hence some of my friends always confused with the formula or even didn't understand how the answers came from. Thanks God, I understood most of the answers and thus I became Dr Wong's personal consultant. My friends would consult me whenever they had problems.
Nevertheless, she was more than willing to teach those she liked patiently, for instance E.S.H. and I, O.T.M., T.H.K. and etc.. There was bias on this matter. However, I thought she wanted us to convey our doubts to the class. We worked as a team. For example, she called me twice since I was back to Penang. She asked me to post our discussion on Facebook's wall so that everybody was benefited.
For example, C.W.F. asked me a question last night. I was not sure about the answer even though my answer was right, hence I sms Dr Wong at about 9:34p.m., she didn't reply. I thought, she slept already. This morning, she called when I just woke up. Again, she was so dedicated and wanting me to convey the answer to whole world.
I felt extremely touched during her revision class. She spent a lot of time in finding different questions for us. Thus, I felt that I owed her something. I was not sure, I could feel that P4 students were studying in unity. The feeling was so special and the first in my TARc's time.
Well, P4 ACCA examination will be on on next Tuesday. I can't assure her to be the top of the world but at least, I promise that I'll try my best! For your information, I had finish inputting the syllabus but I always faced trouble when I practised the questions. I hope that I won't disappoint her and hopefully all the students pass the examination this round. God bless.

Maybe Dr Amy left some bad impressions to me, hence I was not fancy on Drs. I know it's unfair to her, sorry. This continued even though she started to take over the subject from Ms Chang.
Then, in one of the special classes, her left hand started to pain. She asked E.S.H. for help in preparation and removal of the socket used for overhead projector and microphone's speaker. Since I was so close to E.S.H., I had no other option but to accompany him and help him out. Gradually, we became her official helper. We would arrived at her staff room 15 to 30 minutes earlier to help her carrying her bags and books.
Since that, my perception on her changed. We got to know each other better and communicated more. I could see her sacrifice, effort, commitment, caring and love. The way she taught us, guided us, punished us and advices were invaluable. Students became touched and willing to fight for her.
Every time we were in her staff room, she would told us about her plan and key performance indicators. She even consulted us before implementing her plan. Certainly, I knew that she wanted to hear real words, ergo I had never lied in front of her. I would talk to her, correct her mistakes on the spot mercilessly. She would accept if they were reasonable.
She's not similar to Dr Amy. She cared about her students. She would cry or upset when her students didn't perform well. Even if she was told that those students left in P4 Advanced Financial Management were just the residue, meaning that those clever, smart or top students had left for other option papers after knowing that a part-time lecturer would in charge, she still wanted to shape her 'diamonds'. However, we have the same motive, we want to prove to the world that we can do it! We want the one who despised us to keep his/her mouth shut!
She would insist to fetch us to lecture hall even if we declined since the DK 7 was near to the staff room. I think, E.S.H. and I were the ones who were in Dr Wong's car the most. Due to this, some students felt that we were 'polishing her shoes' but we were adamant on our position, we knew what were we doing.
She conducted extra class for us in order for us to catch up. Therefore, I still remembered the day when she finished all the syllabus. She was so excited that we managed to accomplish it. She gave gifts to those who scored well in her assessments. T.H.K. was one of them, congratulation. Other than those with excellent results or improvement, she also prepare a present to our option paper's representative, O.T.M.. He deserved that present since he was so dedicated and sacrificing everything for our sake as well. Definitely, a token of appreciation was given to E.S.H. and me for our help. As a result, E.S.H. and I returned a token of appreciation to her on the final day.
Most of the students were not dare to ask her questions, so did I. I was scolded for challenging the formula because she said we were not clever enough, we just borrowed the formula from mathematicians, hence we should not challenge the formula. I was the one who needed to know how the formula were derived from in order to master the formula. Since that, I was not dare to ask her anymore. Another factors were she wanted us to discuss among our group and do some online surveys before reaching her, the final resort.
The way she taught was special, she taught us the concept but not the method, hence some of my friends always confused with the formula or even didn't understand how the answers came from. Thanks God, I understood most of the answers and thus I became Dr Wong's personal consultant. My friends would consult me whenever they had problems.
Nevertheless, she was more than willing to teach those she liked patiently, for instance E.S.H. and I, O.T.M., T.H.K. and etc.. There was bias on this matter. However, I thought she wanted us to convey our doubts to the class. We worked as a team. For example, she called me twice since I was back to Penang. She asked me to post our discussion on Facebook's wall so that everybody was benefited.
For example, C.W.F. asked me a question last night. I was not sure about the answer even though my answer was right, hence I sms Dr Wong at about 9:34p.m., she didn't reply. I thought, she slept already. This morning, she called when I just woke up. Again, she was so dedicated and wanting me to convey the answer to whole world.
I felt extremely touched during her revision class. She spent a lot of time in finding different questions for us. Thus, I felt that I owed her something. I was not sure, I could feel that P4 students were studying in unity. The feeling was so special and the first in my TARc's time.
Well, P4 ACCA examination will be on on next Tuesday. I can't assure her to be the top of the world but at least, I promise that I'll try my best! For your information, I had finish inputting the syllabus but I always faced trouble when I practised the questions. I hope that I won't disappoint her and hopefully all the students pass the examination this round. God bless.

Time Constraint
I finished inputting P4 syllabus just now. It took me about a week to do so. Hence, I still have one more week to prepare for my P6. I hope this is enough for me.
Due to the late revision class, I went back to my hometown late. Frankly speaking, I couldn't study when I was in Kuala Lumpur. I'm destined to score well in Penang. This may be due to what Dr Wong said, 'Feng Shui'. I wasted too much time in Kuala Lumpur in downloading movies, watching movies and cartoons, playing games, sleeping and etc..
If I still have one month time to prepare, top of the world is more possible. However, I also realise that now isn't the time to regret but an appropriate measure to counter all these obstacles is more important. What I can do now is trying my best to absorb as many as possible, control myself from the distractions around me and relax.
Okay, let's hope for the best.
Oh ya, I'm so delighted that some of my readers do help me to click one of the google ads on the right, thank you very much and I hope that you continue to do so. It doesn't take you much time, does it? Once again, thank you.

回家路上
才过一天，我又写blog了？没错，我觉得今天相当有异议，因此想把这一天记录下来。
Yo，今天我终于回到我的家乡了！今早五点钟，我就起床了，因为六点钟就要跟表姐去Petaling Jaya吃肉骨茶。原本以为早市的肉骨茶，竟然要我们等到七点，还好味道还不错！
到了Puduraya车站，我马上上厕所，然后到Platform 19等待。这时有一群打扮不错的女人向我问路，我只是指引她们去counter。过后，我看见一位行动不便的外国人。他背着一个书包，然后拉着行李，可是行李太重，而且那手扶梯是没有开电的，因此他只好拖着行李下楼，幸好有一位好心人帮他的忙。
我下platform时，看见刚才那位外国人。当我问清楚负责人巴士的去向后，就把我的行李放进巴士内，还顺道帮忙那位外国人。上了巴士，那位外国人突然跌倒，还好一位好心的马来人扶他起来。我找好座位坐好，突然听见前方有疑问声，因此我就起身，问清楚状况，然后问那位外国人座位号码。
原来，他的座位并不是八号，反而是十八号。他毫不知情，因为车票上都是印马来文，并没有英文。我告诉他真相，并引领他去他的座位。他的座位就在我的右手边，我的座位号码是十三号。然后，有一位老人上车了。他站在那位外国人旁边，然后看着他。我好心用广东话及福建话问他座位号码，但是他并不理睬我！
这时，他用很高的语气和声调对那位外国人说：“You want to sit in the window?”。那位外国人说：“No.”。 然后他又很生气地说：“Then you let me get in!”。
我当时在想，他需要如此激动吗？彼此都是老人家，不能够亲切一点吗？需要摆那副臭脸吗？过后，我看见他阅读英文报纸。或许他当时听不懂我说的广东话及福建话吧！
之后，那位外国人跟我聊了起来。他问我来自哪里，然后告诉我他来自德国。他说他很喜欢旅行，还去了很多地方。他告诉我马来西亚不错，因为我们的英文他听得懂，可是印尼人就不懂英文，因为他曾经去过Jakarta。
他还告诉我，他今年二月才去了马六甲，下一个目的地是印尼的Bandong。他懂很多语言，还让我看他书包里的一本印尼文翻译德文的书。他说，全德国只有两个人懂印尼话，因此他并不大掌握印尼话，而且他还知道印尼话跟马来西亚话有少许不同。他懂日语，还教我几句。可惜，他不喜欢日本人，因为日本人太多规矩，可是他欣赏他们的礼貌与产品，而且他的女儿很喜欢日本。因此，他也不喜欢基督教，甚至是天主教。他倒有兴趣回教，因为他对回教的认知很少。他是比较向往自由的人。
我告诉他这里一带，算新加坡是比较繁荣的，但是他说新加坡人很自私，然后补充一句其实德国人也是一样。我告诉他这就是人性，他挺赞同的。
让我意外的是，我问我是否是华人。他说他大概能认得华人，因为华人长得很像日本人。他还当场告诉几个华文字的意思。他真是一个很棒的人。他教我一个德国字。他指着巴士镜子上的“Spritzer”，然后告诉我那是德文，意思是“walk back”。我想，他要告诉我“please come back”的意思吧。
中场休息时，他告诉我巴士上很冷，可是下了巴士，户外又很热！我很好奇地问他：“Are you sure?”，因为当时是阴天。他说他比较喜欢摄氏二十至二十五度。他感到很惊讶当我告诉他马来西亚白天的气温是介于摄氏二十七至三十五度之间。他以为当时的气温是摄氏四十度。
一路上都有很多花草树木，他说他很喜欢马来西亚的大自然。他告诉我他被辞退了，因为他的老板认为他已年老。事实上，他已经是七十二岁了！他猛说我年轻当我告诉他我才二十二岁。他讲德国的退休年龄是六十五岁，而他已超过了七年。当我跟他讲马来西亚的退休年龄是五十五岁时，他老说可惜。他原本是想代表他的公司去澳洲西北方的，因为那里有很多钻石！我看得出，他还想继续公干下去的。
他说他受到他妈妈的熏陶，喜欢上旅游。他说他不缺钱，他有钱，可以四处去玩。他告诉我我们马来西亚的酒店很便宜。RM250就有五星级房间，他说还蛮合理的，他很开心。他讲印尼的德士司机很缺德，他们说你有能力乘飞机来，就付得起德士钱，因此他们会charge至少十倍以上的价钱，所以他宁愿步行。我告诉他来马来西亚呢，就要要求德士司机跟表算钱，不然可以打电话投诉！
他很担心他的行李，因为他没有收到收据。我只好叫他别担心，因为巴士跟飞机的procedures和policy是不同的。我从他口中证实了在德国开车是不按车速的，也就是说我们可以开多快都行。他说亚洲多数是靠左行驶的，而欧洲则是靠右行驶的。一路都有路牌，他还向我请教了某些马来文。
他告诉我他定了酒店，在一个连我都不知道的地方。他讲是在Macalister Road附近。他告诉我他周五才会再坐巴士回吉隆坡。他问我现在是否雨季，我告诉他下个月才是，因为下个月便是农历五月了。
我们下了巴士，他差点忘记拿行李，还好我帮他。他跟我道谢之后，我们就告别了，因为他要去买回程的巴士车票。我看他背着书包，拉着那超大但对我来说还不重（跟我的比较）的行李上楼梯。由于他本身行动不便，因此他是一级一级爬的，上了两级，他忽然失去重心要跌倒，幸亏他扶稳把手。我想帮他但是我又不可以放下我的行李不管。我打算赶快把我的行李放进我妈咪的车，然后才去帮他的，可是当我回过头时，已找不到他的踪迹了。
祝福他吧，希望他旅途平安、快乐。他算得上是我第一个外国朋友吧，Mr Werner Joswig。顺道告诉大家，原来马来西亚跟德国的时差是六小时，还有一路上我看见了两宗车祸。
槟城，我又不小心踩在您身上了，我的家乡！
