time: 12.30am (swe)  7.30am(sin) 

I havent gotten much of a chance to take photos around the school. Then again, it may seem odd. I mean, what would you think if you see students taking photos of the ntu buildings during school time? haha

 anw, here are some shots of school(which i could take only when i was braving the cold).

This is the school’s library.

This is the part of the school where we can see part of Lake Vattern. It is unfortunately, also the coldest place in school! i hate walking towards that direction cause the winds are forever so merciless. :S

This is the school of engineering. The school compound is small enough for us to not ever get lost. quite a feat for me really.

This is the student house, where we love to hang out to wait for each other. Its nice, warm and they serve cheap drinks. Plus, there always seem to be something that we have to do there. Oh, the lady at the counter is this really nice lady whom i have been bugging everysingle day since i arrived for my keys. haha.

Today, we also took a walk down to the swedebank cause xiao han needed to open a bank account. Here we discovered another area in town that had nice quiet streets but biting weather(thanks to its location near the lake)

Look at the trees, all naked! But i dun think their nudity robs them of their beauty. haha. After all, its waiting for new blooms.

shots around the street, plus two freezing girls!

Then after that little de-tour, we went to school and met the other 3 girls in the library cafe! Bought some weird fried noodles with sweet chili. The chicken was incredibly salty, and the price was incredible too. It was over 10sgd for a box of mee leh…and its suppose to be a school somemore. where are the student prices?? *grumble grumble*

chian hui and amanda loving the limelight

amanda bemoans the recent disappearance of her 10 fingers.

After all the talks for today( including one sleep inducing one on academic integrity), we had a ice hockey match to look forward too. Ok, truth is, its probably not a top notch match since it was pretty cheap to get in. Plus we had NO IDEA who the hell we were suppose to be rooting for, since it was a school organised trip. But we had to go cause no one should miss a chance to watch a live ice hockey match right!?

The bus ride there was a real tight squeeze cause so many students were trying to get on at the same time. Never have i seen the bus stop so packed. There is no such thing as school chartered bus here la. haha, so we had to take public transport. In the bus, the 6 of us felt overwhelmed man. We were dwarfed, at everyone’s armpits level. (ewww..). This really tall guy said something that made my day seriously, he told his friend

“hey man, be careful not to fall and crash the chinese people”

 OMG…i was so tickled! haha i know he said it with good intention cause some of us were like caught in between them and the bus was jerky now and then, BUT it made me feel like we were chinese packet takeaways that were fragile and small! And damn!!! WHY must we be so short!!!! lol

Ok…so back to the match. The build up was really quite cool. When the stadium dimmed to prepare for the entrance, the lights that beamed across the stadium made me feel that we were preparing to watch an episode of  “So you think you can dance”. Then there were small firesparks that shot across the ceiling and suddenly the floor was full of gliding players zooming around.

The match was home ground for one team, and boy did they get the ALL the support. must have sucked for the other team. The most terrifying moments must have been when the putt shot and hit the plastic in front of us(cause we were in the first row of the standing section). Also players love to slam each other against the plastic. The impact and sound is real scary. Oh, but the best part must have been the many instances of violence. Nothing too drastic or bloody, but enough for the audience to lap it up. There is alot dirty play and players all seem to have a very thin tolerance level. I hook you, i bang into you, i slam you, i grab your neck, i threaten to beat you up…etc etc. No wonder they need the many layers of padding.

At the end of the day, we may still not know who on earth we were supporting, but hey, it was quite something to see la.

After the match it was 9.45pm and we were already thinking that “gosh, this is so late!” haha…i think our concept of time has become quite messed up. And thanks to the slight drizzle outside, we were so very cold. I have not shivered since i got here, but tonight, it was impossible to not shake while waiting for the bus. Guess wearing 4-5 layers doesnt always help.

i doubt when school starts will i have the time and energy to upload all these picture. lol. hope i can sustain this energy! Modules look quite intense academically actually, so i dun think i can expect to not do much and score while im here. sigh. i know i only need a pass, still cannot too cui la. haha.

alright, time to say good night while the rest of you wake up. I miss home and you guys leh. :p
