Feeling bored~~~

Today is Sunday. I think most of you all must be at home resting or some of you may do some household chores. As for me, i've been utillise the afternoon time study. Coming this December taking 2 subjects and that will make me go crazy. I think. Haha. Well, i don't really care about that cos i more care about passing it.

Yesterday (Saturday) as usual going to my classes. This time i met an Italian guy. I think he quite at an old age as my presumption of his outlook appearance. I met him at the McD restaurant. Me and my coursemate bought McD breakfast and went upstairs looking for a sit. And so we sit beside of this Italian guy table. He wish us 'Morning'. We didn't intend to chit chat with him in case he might find us disturbing him reading novel. Haha. Well, he is such a friendly guy. He takes action to speak with us. His name called Lorenzo. Sound like the furniture shop is it? Yup, my first thought was that too. Haha. Wanna tell him that his name being use as a furniture shop here in Malaysia. But i think this is people name. Better don't jokes on it. hehe. He is a friendly guy who told us lot of his stories. He told us that he use to be very fat. But because he went to checkup one day, his doctor told him that he got diabetes. If he still continue eating much sweet, his eyes will go blind and his legs will be cut off. He was so damn scared. So everyday he would run and run, swimming and swimming. And now he is more thinner than he used to be. Everyday his doctor ask him to maintain 25g of fats a day. OMG! How to survive with that? He saw us eating fried has browns and burgers. Ask us why early in the morning eat that type of breakfast. As the food would only weaken our body system. Well, i answer him that we strive hard at work to get a better living and now once a while we must treat ourself better. So that we won't regret for not enjoying ourself. He just smile after listen my answer. Alright! After this im going tell something that would make your chin drop. Haha.

He had been travelling around the world for quite number of years. I was thinking that he might be come from a rich family which allow him to do that. But i was wrong. He is a middle man who helps to sell diesel. 1 metrick tonne of diesel he could earn a $3 commission. So every year transaction he could get a 3 million metrick tonne of diesel sell. So what do you think about his commission? Are you calculating now? Yup, you are right! is $9 million per year. WAIT!! i not yet finish my story. Every month he could get another 30 thousand of metrick tonne. So a month would be $90 thousand. Pick up your chin now. I saw it drop at the floor. Haha.

Although he look likes other tourist. But the local food here he is absolutely know better than me. Haha. He could even told me about the roti canai, nasi lemak, and etc. When talks about food, could see his saliva almost drop at the table.Hahaha.

ooo...Time doesn't allow us to chat with him anymore. We got to rush to our classes before its too late. Our conversation is short but at least we share our hometown culture together. It was nice and heart warming. Before we left, he told us that he is going to Singapore. As for now, im wondering where he is now. Cos he is a traveler. Goes almost every corner of the world. Hope he enjoy wherever he goes.

Maye
