Merry Christmas!

I know its almost 7am in the morning but yeah still wanna wish u guys a Happy Christmas. Anyway, it is only still 24th in Stockholm.

The weather today was gloomy, as usual,. However, it is warmer den the past few days. The frost on the floor all melted and caused the roads to be wet and dirty. Hmm...

Anyway, went to my sister's parents-in-law's house for christmas gathering. Their house is very westernised. Those who watched Harry Potter or other modern European movies, just imagine they live in those houses featured in the movies. The atmostphere is very strong. Hoho! It's really interesting.

First, we have a high-tea gathering in the late afternoon den we will walk around the house chatting and talking, taking pictures and admiring the realir real christmas tree(real in the sense that it is ALIVE). And den we will have the dinner part which we use folks and knives to eat. They prepared some sort of buffet for us which I dun think they usually do. The food was nice, especially the smoked salmon despite it has alot of tiny bones.

Anyway, I took really lotsa lotsa pictures. I think I would be broke if I am to deliver ALL the pics, bearing in mind that I will be stayingin Sweden till 31st Dec and today is only the 24th or 25th. So far the most interesting thing to me is the Vasa Warship meusseum(am I spelling correctly?) which I think I have explained abit about it in my previous post. If I didnt, den I will explain later. Hehe!

Anyway, I think I dun really like this place very much. Maybe is because of the bad weather here. Alr arrived here for almost 5 days but only 1 day which the sun is up for whole day(my whole day means from 8.30am till 2.45pm). Depressing rite? Anyway, I think it's a good experience lo. How often do Singaporeans have the chance to experience winter season eh? So must appreciate and xing shange instead. Hehe!

Will be flying off to the northern part of Sweden on 26th. It's a place called Kiruna and it would definitely be much much much colder den in Stockholm. Hopefully I wont become an ice pig there. Haha! I will be able to see the northern lights in Kiruna so I will take lotsa pics for u guys to see. Hopefully my camera is powderful enough to tahan the coldness.

Happy Christmas and New Year everyone! :D

In Stockholm

Yeh! The time now in Stockholm is 9:55pm. Alr arrived here for almost 16 hours. The weather here is super cold. Imagine we have to wrap ourselves into a bah zang. Every inch of skin must be covered except for face. My face became numb when the cold air brushed against my face. Ew... can see the smoke produced when talking. Hehe!

Anyway, the day was not an easy one for me. Dunno isit because of the shrimp I had on the plane that caused me to LS for thrice over the day. Sigh! Hopefully tml will be a better day. Hee. :)

counting down to christmas

Wow! 9 more days to christmas. Have u guys bought xmas gifts alr? Nowadays having xmas sale everywhere. I myself also bought some for my foreign and local relatives. Piangz. The process of which u have to crack your brain and think wat to buy for them is really difficult lo. Killed alot of brain cells liao.

Not long ago den I realise I wont be celebrating xmas in sg. Hmm. Dunno how is the xmas atmostphere in those western countries leh. Heard from sister that they will have a xmas party/gathering and all participants have to wear nicely de. No t-shirts and berms lo. I will take lotsa lotsa photos for u guys to see de. Hee.

Bcos of winter, we have to bring lotsa cold wear there lo. So tin tei. We alr have one large luggage to ourselves le but I think abit squeezy lo. Cant even clos when I was packing yesterday. Hai. How those pple live their llife during winter de har? Have to wear so many layers of clothings.

Ok la. Better stop complaining. Anyway, I think I will make a post before I board the plane. Actually dunno for wat la but see how la hor.

Wah...hao xiang quite long didnt post entry le hor. Recently busy watching korean drama. Hee. Currently watching and adicted to a show call *Lovers*. The guy casting the main male character very shuai. Haha. Anyway, the show quite nice la. The songs also very nice. So ya I'm currently slcaking like hell. Hee. Recently sleep till 2+pm den wake up. So no life.

Bu zhi bu jue started piano lessons for 1month+ le. So far so good I think. I think the teacher's student are mostly kids ba. The way she talks to me like I was about 3. Haha. Anyway, she's a nice lady la.

I went to trial pack y luggage during the past weekend. Hoho. Now den I realise how troublesome it is. Have to pack all long sleaves and pants into the box. And den still have 2-3 sweaters and long jon(well I not sure whether is it spelled like that. Anyway, in mandrin is called wei sheng yi la). And den + 2 super thick winter jackets. Still have alot to bring de la but now I cannot think of anything else. I scared the weight will exceed 20kg leh. Hmm!

Ew! These few days keep raining and so windy and cold. Hopefully that day's weather will be super good den flight sure wont delay de. Hee.

holiday le!

Huray! Exams over le! So happy. Hee. Now holiday le so very free le. Now looking forward to going to Sweeden le.

Well, let me talk abit on my exam papers. I am really quite happy with the stats paper. I nv tot I will find stats easy. But well, I realised I made a mistake in the chi-square question. I think still can score quite high de ba. The BC and accounting papers, on the other hand, quite difficult I think. Especially for accounting. I have really no idea wth the questions was asking for. Anyway, I think can pass la hor.

Although the exam was not very easy, I still feel happy leh dunno y. I think I am abit out of my mind le. Study till siao alr. Furthermore, now having flu. Nose so hardworkingly running all day. Hai! Sian!

Well, now holiday le so have to start preparing for my Sweeden trip. I think I have to trial pack and see whether my banana luggage big enough anot. Haha!

Alright! I will stop here. Hmm...surprisingly post despite the lack of updates. Anyway, have a nice December holiday everyone. :)

Saturday, November 17, 2007

sian

Wah! How long didnt update le huh? Cant remember le. Anyway, recently preparing for coming exams at the end of Nov. FA I think ok but abit scared for BC and very scared for BS. Hai...

Super sian lo. Looking forward to having holidays leh. But I think this Dec holiday hui guo de very fast and chong shi and maybe a little busy. Haha. Busy packing and clearing stuffs.

Sian leh have to see faces I dun like everyday. Really unfair. Sigh! Life's just so bu gong ping and frustrating. Have to fake a smile infront of f**king idiotic pple. Well, no choice right? Just have to bare with it. Luckily the course only 15months and now only left 10months le. After this 10months no need to see their faces. Well, I think they also dun like to see my face. Den good lo. All dun like to see each other den jiu lian byebye also can save up. Haha.

Hao le la. Will blog till here today. Maybe after exams den blog again ba. Tata everyone. :)

Monday, November 05, 2007

Over! YEH!

Yeh! All my assignments have dued. So happy! And now should start revising for exams le. Exactly 3 more weeks to go before holidays start.

Seriously, I dunno how come I am so suay to get to meet such ****. Well, I am talking about the two idiots in my group. Cant believe it really! Spending so much money to study abroad but attitude like that. It's not tt I'm mean or wat but I really hpe they would fail their exams this time. If they can pass, it would be super unfair to those who worked really hard. They really think they are so clever hor to be praised by the lecturer for doing well in the report. But they din realise they actually did NOTHING! I really think they should learn how to appreciate others' work. If they dun wanna help den just keep their mouths shut and make themselves invisible la!

Okok! I think I should and must calm down. Dun wanna make myself xin ku for being angry with such ****. (Please replace the *s with any vulgarities u feel like using).

Let's talk about some happy things la. I'm really enjoying my new lappy eh. Hee! It came with a 90days MS Office 2007 trial, 30days McAfee antivirus trial and integrated 2MP webcam. AH! So happy!

Okok! I think I should stop being so mad of it. Hao le hao le. Will blog till here today. :)

My first laptop

Wuhu! Finally gotten my first laptop. Now I'm using the laptop to write this post.

Well, I find it quite different tho. The keyboard, mouse and most importantly the OS of the laptop. Windows Vista Home Premium. Very different from XP. Icons laying at different spots and the start menu also different. Well, just have to get use to it isnt it?

Btw, I buy this laptop is for my school de la. But of cos, can use during leisure time. NEC! Actually dun wanna buy NEC de but saw the price and the specs quite good so jiu buy le. Anyway, quite interesting leh. How briliant those pple who invented laptops hor. Imagine a CPU was chucked into something so flat and quiet. So shen qi. Haha!

Hao le. Just post this entry to test my laptop only. Hee!

Sunday, October 28, 2007

a little free

Woof! Have been really really busy eh. Finally finish with the shitty report by sacrifising most of my sleeping hours for the past week. Sometimes I even thought that 24 hours a day is not enough. Even find bathing and eating are waste of time. But, of cos iI got bathe la and if u know me well, u know I wont starve myself de. Hehe!

Anyway, done with the 33 pages long of report but still got two more to finish before exams. SianZz! Speaking of this report, I had an unhappy erm arguement with my group members. Strictly speaking, I think I cannot consider it as an arguement. I should say I was really really furious with 2 of them.

Well, long story and I dun think I'm gonna talk about it. It's over. Just hope that they have realised how irresponsible hey were. Just dun appoint me as the group leader anymore and I shall keep my mouth shut ya.

Anyway, I erh am thinking of buying a laptop as I find it really useful when doing group assignments in school. Wat brand? I dunno. Maybe compaq or acer? Well, that depends on the price too. I dun think I need a business laptop but just 1 which enables wireless internet, internal webcam, 15.4 inch screen at least and MUST be intel as the processor. Not diff to find right i think. Haha!

Hao le. Will blog till here and I shall go and do the other 2 reports now. tata

Thursday, October 18, 2007

i hate u!

Ah!!! I hate the stupid idiotic woman! U think we only studying for your subject only meh?! WTF! Want us to do so many things when u didnt give enough and useful info. Expect us to come up with something ourselves for u to sit on it meh? U want den go and sit on ur toilet bowl and stay there dun come out and irritate pple. Sickening ***!

Sorry guys! If u find this post very vulga, I apologise for it. U just read watever u find vulga as *** lo. I really cant help it. This woman is really *** lo. U can interpret those *** as some super vulga den vulgarities la. Pls, if u can, help me to curse her. Thanks!

violin results

Oh oh! I received an email from ABRSM on Tuesday saying that my violin exam results were available online to check le. I GOT 120! WHICH IS EQUAL TO A MERIT! Oh! I am delighted. Very delighted. I only got a PASS for my Grade 1. Honestly, I didn't expect a M for this exam. I tot I would be happy enough to get a P.

Anyway, went to Christopherie (or watever how it is spelt) for a violin trial lesson. OMG! It was DREADFUL! The teacher simply sat there and hardly speaks. I was the one kept asking questions, not the teacher. How amazing. I even saw her stretching herself in the chair. *Groans!* Oh well, maybe this is her way of teaching but it is definitely not my type.

Hmm...I have decided to switch to learning piano instead of continuing violin. Surprisingly, my family is very supportive. Haha! Reason for my decision? Oh well, the reasons were, in my opinion, quite erm stupid. Haha!

  • piano sounds nicer (my family said that and also my classmates)
  • more convinient = need not carry huge object around (like violin)
  • easier to find a place in music schools
  • piano is more common
Maybe I should try learning piano and see whether I have more talent in which instrument.

Until a few days ago den I realised I have quite a number of friends who know piano. Hmm...Not bad. At least got an additional common topic. :) Hope I can pick it up easily. Wish me luck! =p

1st week of sch

Hmmm...finally have some time to blog. Have been *not very busy* for the past week. Hehe. Actually really not very busy la. It's just that the timing for my lessons is very odd now. By the time reach home, finish dinner and all dunno wat time le so din online.


Even my violin lessons are affected lo. Clashes into my sch timetable. So now looking around for another time slot at Yamaha or another sch lo. No choice ma. Sigh! Any good lobang to intro? The time slots I can make it will be evening time after 6.30pm. Not too far de. Better to be in the east side. Hee. Or any private lesson type also can. I mean those come to my house de. Hee.
Well, if have must let me know wor. Xie xie da jia! :)



My fellow group members. My mum say our position looks like 2 candles at the side and 3 jawsticks in the middle. HAHAHA! CHOY! =p

Monday, October 01, 2007

starting sch today

Starting sch today le. *groans*. No more frequent mj sessions. First lesson will be financial accounting. I think the things that will be taught are those which I've learned before de. So I think should be no prob. I guess it goes the same for business comm. However, for business statistics, (ha ha) I'm not having too much hope. =p

Violin Exam

Violin exam over! Yeh! So relief. However, I dun think I've done well. Sight reading was dreadful! :( I think I can merely get 5. Sigh!

Aural was perfect I think. The examiner kept saying "that's right, that's correct!". Well, I'm not really sure whether he meant it but, oh well, I think I've done pretty well.

As for the pieces, I think *should* be alright ba. Although there were a few little mistakes, I think a pass should be no problem. Overall, I think it's quite ok ba. *hopefully* =p

School starting next monday. Going to collect notes and purchase textbooks later. Sigh! Have to spend $$$ again. Wondering how can I dispose previous sem's textbooks. Occupying space leh. So tin teh!

Tml gg for a shopping session again! :D Feel like buying everything leh. Heee!

Yoyo! Went chinese garden to shang hua deng tonight. The decos were great I think. Very nice and colourful. But not alot tho. I was expecting us to walk for 1 or 2 hrs but we ended up only walked for at most an hr. Not very crowded but alot of kids running around. Took quite a number of fotos. Just click here.

2 more days to violin exam. Very scared! :( Ew! Not afraid of the pieces and aural but sight reading. I wouldnt expect my sight reading to pass tho. If I can get a 10marks I'm very happy le. After Wed, den it's time to prepare for the starting of new semester. Hmm, quite exciting tho. Feeling quite happy to meet my classmates again. =D

Anyway, Happy Lanthern Festival to all of u! :D Eat more mooncakes!

Back From Genting

Woof! Finally back from Genting! =D

my family
1 of the photos taken at Genting. We were on the caterpilla trail. So cooling and foggy. =p

Anyway, I took quite a number of photos and I've uploaded all onto photobucket. So ya, feel free to view them as and when u like =)

Got into the casino and I dun think I'll step into it again if I can avoid it. The smell inside was really awful. Smelling of smoke! So smelly when I got out. I mean I was so smelly ya =p and I lost RM$40. *sob* No beginer's luck.

Anyway, bought basically nothing. Wanted to buy shoes or bags but seems like not many this sort of shops there.

The air up at Genting was really awful too. I think the air pollution was really high. Smells of exhaust fumes everywhere in the open. I was wondering if the pple who were there loves smoking. Exhaust fumes outdoors and smoke indoors.

The tv programmes up there were really bad too. Almost all the channels were malay channels. Only 1 or 2 hours got chinese or cantonese shows. Oh but the tang yuans were really delicious. Yummy yummy!

Went to watch a magic show on Wed nite at the theatre located inside 1st world shopping centre. Aiyo! At first, I tot got tai ci one but there were only 1 or 2 lines throughout the 1.5hr show. The rest of the time they were dancing and performing some silent magic with some music playing in the background. Really waste of money. But two of our tickets were foc cos it was said that my dad won some lucky draw and the prize was two free magic show tickets. sigh

Since didnt buy anything in Genting, we came back and went shopping today. Hee! I bought 3 pairs of shoes within an hour. Hee! Genting's really boring! Oh well, cheap and cooling tho.

All photos were uploaded to photobucket. Enjoy viewing them ba! =D

Oh! I got my sch exam results! Hehe! I actually tot I might flunk my maths de but, well, B was wat I got. Alright! Not too bad. The other two were both C+. Considered as ok le ba. B=70-74 and C+=65-69. Alright hor. Hee Hopefully I can get such results for my violin exam. Higher the better of cos =p

Qing Gong Feng Yun

Recently, adicted to a historical show about the uprise of Qing Dynasty. Although it's a China show but it is really good. But I think many of u will find it boring de. I wont cos I love to watch historical shows ya :)

Besides watching Qing Gong Feng Yun, I'm also rewatching Xin Hua Fang. Hmm...so nice. Think I'll go and buy some flower tea to drink. Heard that different types of flower tea have different uses. Must go and read up and see which type I need eh. Hee!

Aiya, have to wake up super early tml. Think have to wake up at 4.30am in order to do a last min packup. Aiyo, come to think of the bus journey i sian liao.

You Would Choose Love

Money may buy a little happiness, but not the happiness of true love.
You rather have a true soulmate than a private jet.
And while many people may claim they would choose love too...
You're one of the few who would really do it.
Would You Choose Love or Money?
Hmm...not sure whether it is true anot leh

Happy Teacher's Day

Happy Teacher's Day to all teachers on the world. Dun care wat kind of a teacher u are. But well *some* kind of teachers really dun deserve a greeting. Hmm

I cant really remember how long I have not seen/participated in a teacher's day celebration le.I think the last time was in sec sch ba. Wah! That's long eh. =p

Suzhen, dun be too affected with wat he said. Just be urself. Just let him and live in his own great world. Like that someone I previously mentioned in my blog about she said me wat irresponsibel and not trustworthy tt one. These kind of pple *love* to put themselves at the top position and thinks that other pple are pple like mud. But if one day thay fall, they will realise that they are not even worth a cent. So ya. Cheer up! =)
