Cravings

I love food, especially on Friday because my name starts with F, food starts with F, Friday starts with F, see?

Back in Ann Arbor, I used to crave for Kroger's two dollars fish sandwich. Right after Friday class is my groceries shopping time in Kroger.

Just $2 for a cheap nice fish fillet with cheese in the bun, and tartar sauce!


So after I unpacked two handful of groceries bags, settled down, get a cup of coffee, or soda, then devoured the sandwich! My typical relaxed Friday afternoon.

Fast forward >>>

My craving now is McD Value Meal when I am not having lunch with friends.


Get a value meal, get a Sprite, no ice. Back home, get ice, get orange, get blender, pchewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, the authentic Orange McFizz is ready!

Then all ready to be devoured! 

Little things, happy Fridays.

I wish I'm back in USA again

Sometimes.

I love Malaysia. I love Melaka. But sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I'm back in USA, or Ann Arbor to be specific, because there are some great things there. Foods!

Yeah yeah I know people call Malaysia as food paradise but in the U S and A there are many awesome foods not available here.

One. Arizona Tea.
Cheap 99cents drinks. Best for drinking while doing exam revisions. Many flovors but the the Green Tea with Honey and Ginseng still the best! 

How I usually consume Arizona Green Tea? I decide the house is not suitable to study, so I walk to Dude or Shapiro Library, buy a drink, then read a bit, drink a lot, read a little bit more, then drink again. Repeat process seven times. Then the drink finished. Stomach very full. Cannot study anymore. Then pack up and go back home. So in the end I can never done revision and I have full stomach.

Two. Jimmy John's
$4.50 subs. Best is Totally Tuna :) Full flavored creamy tuna with crunchy cucumber and lettuce, juicy tomato and the best thing ever alfalfa sprouts wrapped in the best tasting bread! Omnomnomnom. Subway has no chance beating this! Maybe this is the best food ever created. 

Good for lunch, good for dinner, good for breakfast, good for supper, good for anytime, even in dream it tastes good. 

Three. Angelo's 


Angelo's in Ann Arbor is the favorite weekend brunch place :)
Simply amazing waking up in the morning taking bus then taking a stroll with friends to enjoy the hearty breakfast. Good food great atmosphere.

Four. McDonald's. Yes McDonald's. You read this correctly, McDonald's.

Yes. McDonald's. And I'm lovin' it.

Why?

Because they have iced coffee, vanilla or hazelnut flavored, and it's good coffee, and it's just $2.69
So instead of Coke I'll have iced coffee every time. And in the States they have dollar menu so I can have chicken burger or beef burger or TWO apple pies for $1.00! Imagine I can get all for just $5.69. One iced coffee, one chicken burger, one beef burger plus two apple pies. What I can get for RM5.69 back here in Malaysia? hmm, nothing much.

So look at what you can get for $5.69 in McDonald's
So many good foods. So many other great foods actually. Now I wish I'm back to Ann Arbor, not sometimes, but most of the times. 

lalala...I'm hungry.

Why I love Michigan or Ann Arbor or UM or...

There are many reasons why I love Ann Arbor or University of Michigan...

The most lovable thing is the squirrel and the hamster. This hamster is my housemate who is very lazy and sleep 25 hours a day.


Second reason I love being here is because of free Bus Ride. There's magic bus aka M Bus and there's AATA aka AnnArborTransportAuthority which takes me anywhere to shop for groceries. AATA is very concerned about my groceries because I hear "PLEASE REPORT ANY UNATTENDED ARTICLES TO THE BUS DRIVER" everytime I'm on the bus.

Then the other reasons are equally equal lovable. Among the rest, the most lovable is I can get money by playing computer games, fill in the blank, or simply say what I see...in paid experiments/surveys. The university is very rich they grant many researches so that those researchers can give me money. Best ones were to play econ game get $65 and another econ game get $42.

Then I can hear the bell tower singing for 5 minutes on 12pm everyday.

And here people will bless you when you sneeze, no need to "excuse me". The more you sneeze the more blessings you get. Sneeze more!

And if you walk into class after 9:59 minutes after class started you still can walk in with pride and smile to lecturer because you are still 1 second ahead of Michigan time! You are early! not late :)

And I love Michigan football bacause it's the winningest (it's the official word) college football team but this season already lost 2 and only won 1...but that was yesterday's story because today Sep 27 we win Wisconsin Badgers and from now on I bet we'll keep on winning forever...

Oh and everybody loves organic chemistry!

There are more reasons but too many I forget 99% of them...
