Hi people..
I miss you guys badly!!!!
I finally settled my internet connection at Grashagen(the place where i stay in)..so glad that i can use internet at home finally..its such a hassle here..u know back in ntu..we just need to get a cable n plug it in and its usable..but here its like u gotta find the MAC Address of your lap top and then sign a contract of liability...then get ur own cable n plug it in..but worse still..i stayed with my roomie n there is only one access point in the apartment so we have to buy a router to get both of us on net at the same time... sux..cost me quite some money... n best part we bought the router but had to go back to sch to register the router or something..
Life here is very peaceful and quiet..so quiet that u can even hear an ant crawling...haha... i havent started school yet so i dun know how's the lessons like here..I'm still on an orientation week and will be starting school on 19th jan...but seems like i came to the wrong place as JIBS(my school here..prounouce as "jeeps") is a damn good school as all the international students says that they came here bcoz their school recommended it to them and heard from the old students that the passing grade was actually 60% down here.. goodness..nevermind..
My apartment was quite nice..abit small but guess its enuff for 2 person..i have got my own bathroom and kitchen.. n as i'm in sweden..everything in my house was from Ikea.. I been to the Ikea here..and realize that singapore's Ikea was actually almost the same as it was here... except that i think Singapore's Ikea's hotdog was nicer and cheaper of course.. the hotdog here had very very small bun n long hotdog...everything here is expensive.. i think mainly due to their high tax rate of about 30%..crazy...but guess the govt really needed this money as they ave damn great welfare lah..sux..the swedish university students had free education even in university and they receive a about S$800 monthly allowance just for schooling...damn it.. i start to think that our govt are mean people...
The food here are expensive too..eating out for a meal will cost about S$12..so i cook my meals everyday now.. but mostly its spagehttis and pastas..fries ..potatos..n so long...need to find some healthier alternatives i guess...i dun wan to buy 2 air seats when i head back..
I had a meeting for all international students when i reached and the best part..all of them looks like they are from here...all ang mohs... very few asians here actually...only met 2 malaysians...3 taiwanese...thats all for a crowd of 160 international students..feeling of minority isnt that good...well..i will get used to it..
I brought almost everything here from home..toiletries...some food n stuff... but din bring some toilet papers along so need to get them here but they are really expensive...so me n roomie decided to get it from the school..haha...we just a take a roll or two back home occasionally.. hee..so cheapo hor..haha
Guess thats about all now..will blog up again soon.. post up some pictures in a while too... See ya..take carez people..i miss u all!!!
