Hey everyone!
This holiday seemed to be a little quiet for me but there are still some events and parties that I got to attend this week. Like yesterday for instance, Joel was having a BBQ party at his place for some of us. The party was going to start around evening time so I spent all morning at INTI stoning, listening to my music non stop. But I did manage to at least wrote a short article that I was suppose to hand in to Alexis the day before yesterday. Sorry boss!
Anyways, around lunch time I met with Alexis and Han Sen and we were all feeling hungry but we didn't know where to go to eat. Alexis and Han Sen were invited to go to Joel's BBQ as well so we all decided to go together but there were a few Ed Board related problems that arised that day so we weren't sure if we were able to go for the party. But before that, we were thinking of where to eat. We spent nearly 30 minutes trying to decide on where to eat when we finally decided to go to Sunway Pyramid and eat at the Pancake House. Han Sen had to do a few things over at Pyramid so we all might as well go there and eat. Yay finally food!
After we ate at the Pancake House, we felt our the effect of being poor and felt the pain in our pockets. We spent the next 2 hours in the Starbucks Coffee house doing a few Ed Board stuff. Boss made me buy a coffee there so that we can sit there using the WIFI sobz... The pain of the pocket holes got larger for me. Han Sen was showing me a video of a very funny comedian called Stephen K. Amos. His jokes are seriously hilarious. You guys should look his videos up on youtube. You won't regret it, trust me ahahah!
When it was time to go for the BBQ party, we met up with everyone at INTI to convoy to go to Joel's place. Alexis and Jonathan were starting up the BBQ fire but when they managed to get the fire started, it began to rain. We retreated to one of the pondoks by the poolside and brought the BBQ fire with us ahahah! It was so funny as we were cooking sausages on skewers on the fire as if it was a campfire and we were singing campfire songs! Well at least one song anyways ahahah!
After about an hour+ it stopped raining so we moved everything back to the BBQ place. It was quite an enjoyable night but I wasn't able to spend my time there until it ended as Alexis and Han Sen was going home early. I would have wanted to go back with Jonathan as he was going back late but his car was already full of people so no choice. Oh well~ Least I got to rest a little bit at home I guess. Anyways, that's all for now folks. See ya next time!

Chinese New Years' at Charlene's House
First day of Chinese New Year, I went to Charlene's house to celebrate as she invited me last week. Elvin was invited as well so I didn't feel completely like an outcast over there as I didn't know anyone. She first told us to come at 1pm but being the early bird that I am, I came an hour earlier. Actually I came and hour and a half earlier to be exact. I spent the first 30 minutes sitting at the bus stop listening to my MP3 Player as I didn't want to arrive too early.
When my phone stroked 12, I left the bus stop and walked to her house. When I first arrived, there was quite a few of her family already there celebrating the new year so I really, really felt out of place over there. Of course, Charlene was there and we talked until Elvin arrived which was around... 1.30pm I think. Yay! A familiar face! Now I didn't feel like I was the only outsider ahahah!
Elvin was dressed completely different than what we usually see him in college. Charlene and I were in shock as we saw a complete stranger ahahaha! Anyways, the 3 of us were cam-whoring for a little while, waiting for Mr. Perak to arrive ahaha! That's the nickname of Charlene's BF that we all used.
When he arrived, we were all hanging out talking and doing somemore cam-whoring until more of Charlene's family arrived. Then, it was time for the lion dance performance to take place. It was kind of hot. Hot as in the fans were all turned off and there was no wind blowing in the house at all. We were all sweating and dehydrating inside that oven!
Anyways, when the lion dance was over, most of her family had gone home. We started playing some card games like blackjack, cho tai ti (not sure if that's how you spell it) and one of my favorite card games of all, snap/spit! Charlene and I played this game until it scared Elvin and Chee Yong (Mr. Perak) apparently as we were playing it too violently according to them. For your information that was just a warm up. Both of us hadn't even started playing seriously yet!
After the game ended and Chee Yong left with his family, the 3 of us just started talking about all kinds of stuffs until it was time for me and Elvin to go home. We left at around 6.15pm I think. Oh yeah forgot to mention, Ang paus!!! I got a lot of ang pau collecting from her house ahahaha! Anyways, nothing more to write for now. I got some birthday present shopping to do this Saturday... I'm such a sucker when it comes to friend's birthday presents I always go overboard with them. For February I have at least... 3 presents to get I think since some of them aren't in my area. The cheapest present I got for a friend before was a Starbucks Coffee and a piece of cake from Starbucks so yeah, I'm so going to be broke. Until next time, see ya peepz!

First Timer in Low Yat
Hey people,
It's a few days earlier but since it's the holidays and I'm free at the moment, I'll update the bloggy now ahaha!
Okay so this story happened last saturday. LP was going to KL again and asked if I wanted to tag along again. Of course I said yes! Back to the heavenly book place! And I remembered to bring some money with me this time eh heh.
Before we went to KLCC again though, he wanted to pick something up at Low Yat so we went there first. As it goes~ Another trip to KL with the notorious indirectional LP proved to be entertaining ahahaha! But this time he remembered the road a little so we didn't get totally lost like the last time. The road was strangely jam around the Low Yat area and neither of us had a clue as to why it was so packed on a saturday afternoon nearing Chinese New Year.
Anyways, we reached Low Yat after about... less than an hour I think from college. It was the first time I was in Low Yat as I was never the type to get out of the house until I started college. Never did I imagined there'd be such bargains and look-alike items being sold there! I heard the stories before but I didn't believe it until I saw it! ... Okay, I sound like a hill billy right now aren't I?
Moving on! We met with one of LP's friend over there who's an expert in all the techy stuff's prices. He could even get for us some discounts over there ahah! The original plan was to spend only about 30 minutes tops at Low Yat and move on to the bookstore at KLCC. But we spent almost 3 hours over there as LP was looking for a camera.
He finally settled on a cheaper camera as we looked all around for a nice price for the camera he wanted to buy originally but it was all too expensive. The camera he bought was a... Nikon D80 I think. Not really sure of the spelling. Anyways, it wasn't cheap. That camera basically costs about 3 and a half months of my allowance so yeah, scary.
After he bought the camera, we had a quick bite of a late lunch and ran straight to KLCC to the bookstore. Yay! We weren't there for long though as it was getting a little late and LP had to go home early. I think this time we spent less than an hour in the bookstore. I got myself 3 books this time which I'm so going to read once I've cleared a few things in my head.
LP and I both agreed on the fact that we're broke so no more Starbucks and Subways for 2-3 months ahahah! Now it's time to get back home and we followed the signboard this time so we didn't get lost but the toll costs more than the road we took when we were lost the last time. So getting lost sometimes can actually save you money ahahah! Next post!

Jon Yam's Surprise Birthday Party!
Time for the last post of the week which is Jonathan Yam's birthday! This took place yesterday. His birthday is actually next Thursday but we're celebrating it a week earlier because of CNY. I tell you, yesterday was quite chaotic. Jon Yam! Your surprise party was not an easy thing to do! Han Sen organized the whole thing which we all have been discussing constantly for the past few weeks on how to plan yesterday.
The plan was finalized already. Yesterday, Shane would have a light lunch with Jonathan right after his class to distract him while we get things ready. After Shane, Joel would go take Jonathan to watch a movie while the rest of us got ready at TGI Friday. When the movie ended, they would go find me, Alexis and Han sen who were "coincidentally" eating at Fridays to discuss some "Ed Board" stuff and when he sits down, the rest of his high school friends would come and surprise him ahaha!
All hell broke loose yesterday morning when he told Joel that he can't go for the movie because he had to pick his sister up from tuition. Nuuuuuuuuu!!! Everyone, especially Han Sen was having a panic attack. We were thinking and thinking on how to solve this dilemma and that's when we thought, just ask one of us who has a car to go pick up the sister la. Okay... When the issue was solved, there was another problem as he wasn't feeling up to go to the movie. Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had to somehow indirectly convince him to go watch the movie. Somehow we managed to convince him without him suspecting anything. Phew.
Alexis and me had history class at 2 but we had to leave early with Han Sen to get everything settled like the cake and the reservations at Fridays. Another dilemma arosed as Han Lim called Alexis to ask where she and I was. Apparently our lecturer was giving an in-class assignment and we rushed back to class to do it. We arrived 20 minutes before class ended so yeah, that was bad. She almost didn't give us the assignment.
When we finished the assignment by the power of copying others, she told us when we handed her the assignment, "Next time, I won't let you do my assignment". That was like, my heart felt as if it got stabbed by 10 spears. But it was our own fault for skipping class in the first place I guess. So, Jonathan! Better be happy!
Ahahaha! Luckily the plan went well and he was totally surprised and happy so it was all good. After early dinner at Fridays, we went to look for him another present as we gave one to him earlier when we surprised him. A nice button shirt ahaha! Now we were looking for a pair of jeans or a belt for him. It was a bust though as he didn't want any of it. Oh well, least he had fun! Ahahaha! Happy Birthday in advance again Jonathan!
Okay done posting for now ahahah! Class is about to end soon. A lot can happen in a day huh? Anyways~ I'll try posting something next week since it's a one week holiday ahahah! Until then, see ya people!

Ed Meet
Now onwards to last Wednesday! We had our Ed Meet last Wednesday at 2 o' clock. There was a problem with the room though. The room we booked last week was booked by a lecturer for a test on the same time as Ed Meet! WTH! So I called Mr. Amir to ask about it and he said that it should be for Ed Meet already cause he booked it for us. He told me to go see GO (General Office) about it and asked what happened.
I ran to GO in a tantrum of rage to ask what happened. They said that they gave away the room to the lecturer because they thought it was free. I was about to kill the guy that time. JC was next to me and he saw how pissed off I was for the first time I think. I was being quite rude to the GO people that time I think and now I feel a little guilty about it. Just a little though. Why you ask? They gave me a replacement room and it turned out that the room they gave me was already being used. So yeah, damn pissed with them already. Luckily we found an empty room nearby so we just used that one instead. Didn't bother to tell the GO people about it as I'm just going to get angry with them again.
Anyways, thankfully the Ed Meet turned out great. We have 10 new members joining us this semester which makes our total members right now about... 30 people I think ahah! The ice breakers that Viv and I did was quite enjoyable by everyone hehe. I did a scavenger hunt in which the team with the least item had to do a butt dance and spell Ed Board ahahaha! Viv did a Q&A session which was really interesting to know some umm... "personal" stuff about everyone hahahaha!
Alexis explained to everyone a little bit on the history of Ed Board to everyone and explained what each departments in Ed Board does. Then we had some sandwhiches and chrysantimum tea juice. Whoever wanted to officially join Ed Board had to give their names to LP and I was really surprise to see that our numbers have doubled from last time. Overall, Ed Meet was a success! Yay! Next post!

Moo Moo Fiesta!
Onwards to last Tuesday! CCS held an event for CNY they called Moo Moo Fiesta. The event was... how should I say this... average? I'm trying to be lenient right now because I was suppose to write a report on the event as the only member of the editorial department of Ed Board that was present that night. Well, I basically wrote a very very very bad review of the event.
I didn't think that Alexis was going to approve it but to my utmost surprise, she approved it! Finally I can write something good again! ... Well, in this case bad. I think my forte is writing bad reviews for events and stuff because I seem to be at my best at expressing how bad it was... Okay, I should become a critic from now on ahahaha! However, she said there's some minor adjustments she needs to do to my review as it was kind of long so she had to cut down a few things. Okay~ I don't mind ahaha! She's going to put it into the 5th issue of the INTI Insider.
I'm a little bit worried about one thing though. I think the CCS people and whoever supported the event is going to come after me with pitchforks and torches after they read the review. I trashed the event quite bad eh heh heh. The issue will be coming out on the first week of February which is right after our 1 week holiday for CNY. You can read more about the Moo Moo Fiesta event on my review then ahahah! Next Post!

Trip to KLCC
This happened around... last Monday I think ahah! Last Monday I was feeling a little bit down as I still couldn't seem to write anything at all. Started to get me feeling a little worried whether I'm doing the right major right now and all that. Thankfully this trip to KL totally took my mind off all the troubles.
LP said that he was going to KL to buy some stuffs and asked if I wanted to tag along. I said okay sure. So we left college at around... 6.30pm I think to go to KL. Alexis told us that KL is probably going to be jam around this time but we went anyways ahah!
LP and I were constantly talking in the car about games, Ed Board stuff (just a little), and some other stuffs. Basically we talked until he wasn't concentrating on the road and we missed a few turns. The original plan was to go to KLCC and reached there in around 30 minutes after leaving college. Because we missed the turns, we got stuck in the traffic jam and we reached KLCC in about 1 hour and 45 minutes later. Oh well~ Least we got to see the sights a little ahahaha!
Over in KLCC, we just went to 1 shop which was the bookstore called umm... Kinokuniya I think. It was the first time I went to this bookstore and when I went in, I thought I died and was in heaven. There were so many books! I wanted to buy a lot of them but I only brought RM70 with me, sadly. We spent about 1 hour and 30 minutes inside it looking through books. We would have been longer, but it was getting late and both of us had early classes the next morning so we left at around 10pm++. I only saw the ATM machine on our way out of the store which I bought 1 book that was written by Obama. LP said the book was interesting so I thought okay, let me be the judge of that. Yay~ Least I have something to read for the next 1 week. Anyway, if I had seen the ATM machine earlier, I think I would have withdrawn all my money just to buy more books ahah! Next time, I'll remember to bring some money when we go to KLCC again.
On our way back, we started talking again and he missed a few turns and we were lost again. Yeah. I think we were on our way to Seremban already that time ahahhaa! Luckily, we focused and found the sign board and got on the right road again. And that was the end of the KLCC trip ahaha! Next Post!

Orientation Night Jan 2009!
Hello people!
I think I'll update the blog by weekly so once a week on friday sounds good hehe. Right in the middle of my csc class right now. Anyways, updates! Last week's Orientation Night I heard it was quite entertaining and successful.
I was being security guard in the reading room watching over some stuffs that were worth over RM10,000. Yes, reading room had that much assets inside of it that night. Since I was security, I spent most of the night in the reading room so I miss the whole Orientation Night which was fine with me as I was feeling a little erm... tired that night. But I did listen to the INTI band performance which totally rocked!
The Mr. and Miss INTI that were crowned that night was as I expected. Well, at least the Miss INTI anyway. Didn't really like the choices this sem but oh well, what can you do?
The lucky draw had 2 very, very nice prize. IPod Shuffles! Man I wanted those. Oh well, least everyone had a good time and it didn't turn into a total disaster especially since it rained during halfway through the event. Next post!

Updating on since New Years!
Hello people!
I'm rushing this now is because I'm in my csc class right now and reason for me writing over here is because as you all know, my internet connection at home sucks!!! And this is the only time I can actually write something. Right now we're having lab so we can just play around with the computer or start on our assignments. Starting on our assignment right now just doesn't feel right as today we're going to have the last day of INTIMA Week and Orientation night right after that. So yeah, celebrating mood!
Anyway, starting back from New Years. I basically spent my New Years like I always do which is just sitting in the house and watching movies by myself. Didn't even bother to look at the fireworks. I don't know, New Years just never had much impact on me. It's just another day like any other, just the beginning of the year. Most people say it's a sad way to spent New Years but I like it I guess.
Moving on to Orientation Day on the 3rd of Jan, now that was a busy day! I suddenly got myself to be a student helper in Orientation Day just as I reach college. Okay... But it was enjoyable to see and welcome all the new students as well as the old ones. I have to say that the music from Miss Azian's slide was awesome! She put in the song 'Supermassive Black Hole' by Muse.
During Orientation Day, Ed Board was busy as well. Our 2 month holiday seems more like our working days in Ed Board ahaha! On Orientation Day, we released our 4th Issue of the INTI Insider which I think it's the best one yet! Although I didn't write anything in it because I can't seem to write so well nowadays... Whole different story that I can't say. Anyway, our principal Miss Yuen was very impressed by our effort. She even thought that the newsletter was done by professionals because of the names ahahaha! Things are looking up for Ed Board now as we're getting well-known around college.
Now onwards to the first days of class. I'm taking History 2, Politics, Computer Science andMacro Econs again. Yeah, my macro econs was C- and in my program the passing grade is at least a C so I have to retake it. Sigh... Well this time we have a different lecturer and here teaching style is quite different than the previous so we'll see how it turns out. History and politics I'm sorry to say but kill me! Literally almost always fell asleep during the classes. It's just so... boring? And I have the same lecturer for both subject. Killer. Half the class fell asleep during her lectures. Then there's Computer Science which seems to be going okay so far. The lecturer is quite a cool guy and somehow I got elected to be Class Rep for CSC. Wow, and right now the Class Rep is blogging during class hahahahaa! But he's fine with it since it's lab. No one's actually doing anything besides playing games, studying some other subjects, and looking at airplane fairs ahahhaa!
Classmates this semester seems to be really really good for me as I have JC, Jean, Han Sen, Winna and Winni in CSC, Jean, Daryl, YQ, Ganesh, Utee, Judith and her cousin in Macro Econs, Lik Pang, Alexis, Shaza, Suzanne and Winna in politics, JC, Alexis, Naomi and Yoyo Jonathan for history. Yay! Friends in all my classes~!
Fast forward to INTIMA Week. This semester Ed Board is doing really good for INTIMA Week this time hahahaa! Some of the clubs didn't bother to decorate their boards though. Ed Board's board is quite interesting as we have a post-it wall where everyone can just write whatever they want and paste it on the wall. Viv and me are having a post-it war! We're arguing on who's better, David Archuleta or Cook. I support Archuleta so people! Lend me your power to defeat the Cookers!!! ... Back to topic, Ed Board's got some new members signing up already ahahha!
We have a meeting this Wednesday (21st Jan 2009) at 2-4pm in the INTI new building at LVL4-R105 where everyone is free to come and have a look at what Ed Board does. It's not compulsary for you to join us right away though. You can just come to the meeting and just think about it and decide for yourself if you want to join us. No membership fee. So do come and see for yourself how we operate in Ed Board eh heh!
Anyway, that's all for now since class is about to end ahaha! After this I'm going to try and find a place to photocopy the politics book I borrowed from Shaza so I can study for the test next week or else I'm so screwed for the test! Yay~! Hopefully the last day of INTIMA Week which is today goes well and the Orientation Night as well. A few people seem to think that it's going to be a disaster so I hope their wrong and all goes well.
Class is over so got to go now. See ya next time peepz!
I'm rushing this now is because I'm in my csc class right now and reason for me writing over here is because as you all know, my internet connection at home sucks!!! And this is the only time I can actually write something. Right now we're having lab so we can just play around with the computer or start on our assignments. Starting on our assignment right now just doesn't feel right as today we're going to have the last day of INTIMA Week and Orientation night right after that. So yeah, celebrating mood!
Anyway, starting back from New Years. I basically spent my New Years like I always do which is just sitting in the house and watching movies by myself. Didn't even bother to look at the fireworks. I don't know, New Years just never had much impact on me. It's just another day like any other, just the beginning of the year. Most people say it's a sad way to spent New Years but I like it I guess.
Moving on to Orientation Day on the 3rd of Jan, now that was a busy day! I suddenly got myself to be a student helper in Orientation Day just as I reach college. Okay... But it was enjoyable to see and welcome all the new students as well as the old ones. I have to say that the music from Miss Azian's slide was awesome! She put in the song 'Supermassive Black Hole' by Muse.
During Orientation Day, Ed Board was busy as well. Our 2 month holiday seems more like our working days in Ed Board ahaha! On Orientation Day, we released our 4th Issue of the INTI Insider which I think it's the best one yet! Although I didn't write anything in it because I can't seem to write so well nowadays... Whole different story that I can't say. Anyway, our principal Miss Yuen was very impressed by our effort. She even thought that the newsletter was done by professionals because of the names ahahaha! Things are looking up for Ed Board now as we're getting well-known around college.

A new face to the blog!
Hey everyone~
I know I'm suppose to write what's been going on since new years until now on this post, but unfortunately I didn't have time to write it yet. Was busy practicing the guitar and changing the face of my blog!
I hope that it looks better than before. If not, then I would have just wasted 4 hours of looking for the right templates and the right songs for the music playlist eh heh!
Anyways, I should be able to post the next post on Monday in college. Reason I'm not doing it right now is because I'm tired and my siblings are going to start hogging my laptop now.
Until then, see ya peepz!
P.S. Do comment on what you think of the new face of the blog and whether you prefer the text to be in one colour or the old rainbow colours if you don't mind. Throw me whatever opinions you've got =)

Sweden Stories!
Hello everyone!!!
So sorry I haven't posted anything new for such a long time. Stupid internet connection sia... it took me 1 hour just to download a 5mb file so you can imagine how bad it is. Anyway because of that, I can't post the photos from sweden here but you can check it out on my facebook account ahaha!
It's at ---> http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1740780&id=735508241#/album.php?aid=74713&id=735508241
I posted all my sweden photos there so go and have a look ahahah! But I will still tell you some stories in Sweden so don't fret ahahah! First off I know I've said it before but here goes again, I love the parks in Sweden!! It's so clean and very very woodsy and it's just such a nice place to go around and walk. I walked around the park in my area almost everyday just to enjoy the nice fresh air and breathtaking view. The animals in the park were also quite eye-catching like the domino coloured birds~ And not to mention that they're quite friendly with people. The park even had a Pony ranch which was really cute to see all the ponies walking around ahhah!
Other than the park, There's also the mall that I went to with my sis and cousin called Kiesta mall. We went to do some window shopping and watch Twilight there as my sis and cousin haven't watched it yet. Yeah, I know! So anyway when we were getting the tickets my sister asked me to buy the popcorn and choose large size. Boy, was that a mistake! Their large sized popcorn was as big as 3 of Malaysia's large size popcorn combined together! But their popcorn tasted so.... SALTY!!! It was so horrible and I think we took about more than a week to finish it. Well... more like my uncle finished it ahahaha! We couldnt't eat it anymore so sue us! Anyway back to the cinema story, After we got the popcorn we went to get the tickets and oh my gosh, after converting the tickets to malaysian ringgit, it costs RM30 for each of us! Yes I know I shouldn't have converted the money but still! We went into the theater to watch the Twilight movie. In the theater there were 2 iraqian girls who were laughing so loud, it matched the devil's laugh that Amos did last time ahaha! We were all laughing when they were laughing cause it was too funny to hear it ahahha!
Besides that, there was also the sights in the city~ Let me tell you, Stockholm has some real weirdos in it which is so cool ahahaha! You'll meet all kinds of people in the streets and subways. The nicest place to go for a walk in the city would be the Queen's Road where you can also do some shopping~ The Queen's Road is seriously nice as it is one of those streets that aren't so big and you would go for a walk in where there is no cars around and there are shops all beside the street walks. It leads from the new Stockholm to the old part of the city where the 400 year old buildings are. Seriously nice to go there for a walk and experience the 16th century buildings. Aside from that, the building also has quite a few parks where it is nice to go for a walk around and of course the Universities there look awesome. I especially like the Journalism School's building ahahaha! Being a little bias here but oh well~ There's also a lot of nice looking restaurants that has that homey feeling when your eating there. It feels so good that you'd think your eating homemade food at home. But one thing I'd like to complain about their food is the portion is huge! You can see how big they are from the pictures (refer up the facebook link).
Another thing was the boxing day! It was a really nice day to go out and literally shop till you drop. The sales over there were going from 40%-75% just for the next 3 days from 26th December. But unless you live there, the sales don't really seem like a sale to me. But there were still some very reasonble sales for us going on over there~ But so sad no sales on the chocolate puddings sobz..... Yes I'm mourning for my chocolate pudding hunger right now! Sobz!
Moving on~ My uncle took me and my sis to see the countryside which was breathtaking I tell you! Breathtaking! The nice fresh air~ Not a smoke in sight except for the nice cozy fireplace! I know! Not to mention the open fields that we walked around in and of course, the beautiful forests!!! With all the cherry and apple trees! It was just so incredible. Getting in touch with your inner nature side... Ahahaha!!!
Oh then there's also the 7-Eleven there! I have to say this, their 7-Eleven is like our Starbucks Coffee place okay! It's so high tech wei! Even starbucks would lose to it I think. They have an Espresso maker, Hot Chocolate maker, Juice Maker, Computers free to be used, lounge where customers could just hang out, and candy! Lots and lots of candy! I love their hot chocolate more than Starbucks's hot chocolate which shows what a big deal it is! If I live there I'd probably just go there everyday to buy their hot chocolate ahahah!
The people there I have to admit, I feel so short when I was there ahahahah! They were all so tall I felt like waaa... So this is how some of my friends felt when I'm around them ahahaha!!! Their very into walking and cycling over there. They even made a cycling road just for the cyclers! But I have to say their Christmas decorations are kind of disappointing as Malaysia's Decos are way way nicer and grandious. Seriously! And their the ones with the snowy winter!
The kids over there mature mentally so fast! I met a six-year old kid who already dyed his hair pink and green in the middle! Then there was this eleven-year old boy who already pierced his ears and most of the kids from the age of ten and above already take the subway unsupervised! And I'm still not allowed to go and ride the train by myself!
Another thing about Sweden was that they have a lot of different nationality living in them. There are people all over the world living there ahaha! You can learn so many things from living there about different cultures and beliefs.
There was one thing that was disappointing when I stayed there for a month, which was the fact that it only snowed once in the whole month of December!!! Yeah, once!!! It snowed on Christmas Eve but it was just powder snow which was like... The day my uncle drove us to the airport he told us that in his 30 years+ living in Sweden, never has it not snowed in the month of December until we came and the sun never shined so brightly until we came. Okay.......... After we land in Malaysia my uncle called and told us that it was snowing already. Yes... I felt like I wanted to murder someone at that point. Sweden really hated me that it wouldn't allow me to experience heavy snow! Sobz!
Before I forget and end it, There's one more story I have to tell all of you which is about Christmas day! In Sweden they celebrate Christmas on the 24th instead of 25th and they have a very very weird tradition which was at exactly 3.00pm, they would all turn on their tv's and watch old Donald Duck cartoons. Yes, very weird right?? Apparently the King had decreed that everyone would watch the cartoons every Christmas. It's been going on for over 50 years! Besides the cartoons, during Christmas day we had a lot of chocolates! Lots and lots of chocolates! And my aunt's homecooked meals which were seriously nice especially the potato salads! I love those! My aunt and unce gave me 500 Kronos (RM250) as a Christmas present and my cousins gave me this electric ball massager thing for my hands. Its good for people who spend a lot of times infront of the computer screen. It was really nice of them to give me that especially considering that on the first day everyone felt a little bit awkward with each other ahahah!
Anyways I shall end the Sweden stories here since this is quite a long post already right? Next post is gonna be about what's been going on since new years up to now ahahaha! See ya!
