Ok. I shall update even though there’s nothing to update.
I’m sick.
Down with flu and cough. Heh
I was on service duty on Monday which was the first day of Chinese New Year.
We got more Chinese food like dumplings, pineapple rice, popiah, fried noodles, tang yuan and so on. I didn’t get to enjoy the dinner because I was on duty and after preparation for the dining area, despite being the first to eat, we had to finish within 15 minutes. Heh.
First day of duty was fine.
We were all doing stewarding (which I like).
Up till now, the duties are rather smooth, I still have duties till Monday leh.
Oh. We are going bowling later. Haha.

I have been out nightly man. Haha.
Go villa on Wednesday and Thursday for ginger tea.
Headed down to Zurich on Friday whereby the rain and strong wind was scary. We were practically fighting with the umbrella man. Haha. I finally bought something. I bought a 5.95CHF Zara shirt.
Saturday we had chocolate fondue at the villa, thanks to Gylnn, Lee and Andrew.
Played mahjong cards version till close to 1am.
And.........
I finally went out alone today.
But my main purpose is to take passport picture because Mr. Ferry (in charge of registration) said that the picture I gave him cannot.
Why?
He said that I’m laughing in the picture whereby I was smiling. Heh.
That is how strict the immigration is I guess.
After taking picture I went roaming on the streets because the bus intervals are hourly on Sunday.
Walked down a few bus stops and sat down waiting for the bus and thankful it wasn’t that cold.
I finally headed down to the lake after close to one month. The lake is just 15 minutes away and I have been seeing it every single down from the school’s view.

It’s Chinese New Year.
The first Chinese new year I’m missing.
Waaaaaaaaa.
And I’m falling sick soon. My throat is itchy. Haha.

Hopefully the daily duties will work out fine. =)

After some time, I finally video called home.
Not that I didn’t want to, but because there were some problems with the adjustment.
And without fail, the every video call sessions I had be it successful or unsuccessful, it always leaves me with frustration and disappointment.
And this time round, I finally broke down.
It just shows you the importance you have in someone’s heart.
And when you know that you are actually not important to them at all, it hurts.
To think that you placed that person high up, it didn’t worth anything at all.
And the forgiveness I had for that person proved to be worthless.
What she had promised me before was broken in weeks.
I will always remember you said “once in a while”, but it was once a week.
There were many other things that happened but I kept it to myself because I didn’t want to strain the relationship.
I bear with it for so long that I didn’t know how I did it.
How I wish there is someone here to listen to me.
How envy am I to see my friend being able to video call back to their parents and siblings practically everyday.
I know I have to stop.
Stop crying.
Because I don’t want my friends here to worry about me when there are more important things here to worry about.
I just need time.
I should probably get out alone one day.
Be alone with no worries for a while.

Oh. Another week has passed.
I seriously dread marketing lesson which happens almost every day. Without for every lesson, I will doze off. Waaaa.
Anyway, the school serves breakfast every weekday at 0700, and after quite some time, I finally ate it because I had a feedback session at 0800. Haha.
And from last Sunday till Friday, I did not step out of the school. Heh. Pro eh?
Headed out yesterday (Friday) with Alicia, Amanda, Jocelyn and Vian to get ingredients for the eating session at the villa* later in the evening. I guess breathing fresh air is good. Haha.
We bought 2 boxes of 24 bottles of beer while we were out. WAIT ar!!! Before you all anyhow think, those aren’t for me. One for the guys and the other is share amongst some of the girls. Carrying it is tough man!!!! Heavy can.
The school had this Student Bar last night. It’s like a club in school and the theme is hip hop. But most of us were lazy so we just wore pyjamas out. Haha.
K la. Got people dancing and drinking. Those usual things ya?
I didn’t ordered any drinks but I was dragged to the dance floor, in fact the whole SIM class was at the dance floor. Heh.
But it’s just interesting to see those scandals and all. We were all just very san ba la. Haha. Stayed till 0130 only. Tired you know.
Heading out to the villa later for dinner with the others.
*villa – a outside school hostel which is only 5 minutes away and it houses our course mates who were here quite some time already.

Called my papa just now. He's alone.
It seems that no one is at home.
I think I miss my papa.
I think I'm starting to miss home.
I always thought that I won't since I was away once before for 4 months. But I guess it does work this way.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
But I'll get over it.
Till then~ I'm off for the dinner at the villa with my classmates.

Bad dreams bad dreams.
WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
I had bad dreams for 2 nights.
Dreams about people dying.
First dream was about my maternal grandmother. I was somehow attending her funeral.
But the fact is that she had already pass away. Thus it wasn't that worrying to me.
Second dream happened last night. A dream about my paternal grandmother.
I actually dreamt that she committed sucide.
Sounds weird but in the dream we tried to save her but couldn't. And somehow I know that I can actually save her earlier but I just didn't.WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

It's unusual that I actually had such dreams and it is rather worrying since I'm not home.
But my mum told me everything is fine, perhaps I'm just homesick.
Hopefully so.
And I guess I'm really homesick.

The trip to Zurich.
Thanks to Milan, our course mate who is in Switzerland for sometime, brought us around.
It's a one hour train ride away from Luzern.
We were greeted by a partly frozen fountain
Winnie, Me, Joey
Look at the picture above and this picture, seems as though I am being photoshop in
At a distance, this picture may not seem to have anything special
Zooming in, the pigeon is drinking water.
Milan brought us to a restaurant. The name says it.
I ordered fried udong whereby it cost 20 CHF. More than S$20 per plate.
It was such a big serving that I couldn't finish

It's a reception center, morning call center, metal container borrowing center, hospital, laundry department, pop-in pop-out center.
The door is open and locked so often that it's going to spoil.

It's the end of the 1st week of school which consists of orientation and lessons.
Oh man. The dissertation is really the stressful one i guess because it determines the type of honour class I will get as it holds the highest credit units. 10,000 words and I have already decided on the topic which hopefully the teacher approves and I can do well for the paper.
It seems to be getting colder here.
It even snowed twice the past 2 days.
And we had a fire drill in the middle of our classes. Imagine wearing just business suit with no thermal wear or whatsoever. All of us have to get out of class and walk out like 5 to 10 minutes walk away to the meeting point. Cold sia!!!!!!

The students here are mostly asians here. From Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and a few people with blonde hair.
Oh ya. I guess most of you people should know. The 200 pounds of beauty lead actress is in my school studying intensive english. Pretty eh.
Anyway some pictures that were taken last Saturday. The class is going down to Zurich tomorrow. Hopefully more pictures then.

I guess showing u people more about where i live in is more important right?
I'm sharing a room with Dawn but previously there was a mix up and i nearly got a stranger for my room mate. Heng ar.
Oh ya, i shitting like everyday though i am here for like 2 days only.
Food is fine. Buffet style and i am drinking milk and eating apples.
LARDY: Tell that to papa.
My room consists of 2 beds and tables and shelves. A toilet bowl and a sink. Take note: no shower. Haha. The shower room for my choice of room is located outside the room beside the lift. Ok la. It's rather convienent.
Oh ya. The lift here is damn interesting. Very old school. Like you have to open the door to the lift. Haha.
Weather here is cold la. Most of us were like wearing 4 layers at the top.
So far i bought a printer (shared amogst 4 ppl), pail, cushion*, wrapping paper*^.
*cushion: although the pillow provided is BIG, it is too FLUFFY. When u out your head down, all the feather goes to the side.
*^wrapping paper: apparently our room is suppose to have like a curtain for the toliet bowl but there isn't so we bought wrapping paper instead to cover up the door.
So far, we had 2 outings. One to downtown and one to uptown. So far its ok la. They are going clubbing tonight and are meeting at 2320. Heh. I'M NOT GOING K?!
