.::. On the move .::.



Fai and Aom came over to my old place to help me move my 2 big luggage. My backpack was all the way higher than me and so heavy that I can barely balance, much less move my 40kg over luggage. My handle of my luggage broke when they tried to carry it down the stairs. I discovered that my backpack had so many compartments for me to squeeze things inside. I was really touched and thankful for them. Fai even helped me with the luggage all the way back to my new place. Thank you!



And because I know them, I get free lunch at the Thai restaurant nearby. *awwww. Really great asian food!



Our place has got almost everything, except a microwave. I managed to get a second-hand one for a really good price. But problem is that I didn't think that it was so big and heavy, so I went alone. It was so heavy that I can't walk long with it. I ended up having to call my roomate and wait for her to finish her lesson before moving it with me. Still, we struggled up the bus and the 5minute walk home. It was all worth it though! We've everything and all settled in. My roomate is really sweet, she have been cooking for me the past few days, and it's really great to have food to eat when you get home tired and hungry. *touched. It's really better to stay with someone you know, and a chinese to boot. =)



And this is the beautiful library where I use my internet daily now. It closes at 8pm. It's really beautiful and filled with many books. The good thing is that there are always seats in some corner and many electrical points. I'm beginning to think that Singapore's library ain't that good. There are 30 school libraries in Lund itself and one more state library. And a few bustops or 15minutes walk away from my place, there's this big state library too. I reckon there are many nice places where I can study at.

It's damn cool that library membership is free and you can borrow 50 books for four weeks (2 weeks for some) at one time! FIFTY BOOKS!!? I was quite shocked and reconfirmed this many times, I thought it was like a quota for a year or something. There's even lots of CDs, like pop songs and even chinese songs! It's too bad that the collection of english books ain't that big.

I only have about 10 hours of lessons every week, but I've like 4 five-page reports due in about 6 weeks. Exams are in the third week of October. I guess I should start some serious studying soon.

It's getting cold here. It goes to the low tens on some days and I'm really cold since there's very strong wind here. I'm already wearing 2 layers with my coat. I can't imagine how to survive winter.

On a great note, I just paid for my internet and I hope I get my modem soon!
