I'm back from London yesterday.
So is Johnson who was back on Saturday. Haha.
Though it was just a week, I MISS HIM!! Haha.

This is how expensive long distance relationship is.
Overall the trip was ok.

Yes yes, I’m 21 now.
But I don’t seem to feel any difference and what’s the big deal of turning 21?? Haha.
Anyway, together with my group of classmates, we ate at the Swiss Room but it wasn’t good la. Because they served veal and I had to take the vegetarian course. Heh. But there was the birthday cake to keep our stomachs full though.
Thanks for all the well wishes and gifts!

As mentioned, it was international day/night on Friday. Helped setting up the stall even though it wasn’t my job as I was under music. There were really a lot of guests in the school and a lot of food and drinks. Not to mention, free flow of champagne and beer. Haha.
There was also a performance by Singapore not to mentioned other countries as well la.
Student bar was up next in the night.
Missing a few student bars and promised Pamela to be there, Dawn and I went down at around 2300. Let’s see, I drank 4 cups of drinks and 1 or 2 sips from somewhere.
I didn’t feel tired, but instead giddiness. Haha.
Too much already la. But was fun la.
The flags.
Our t-shirts.
Champagne. 0.0
In front of our Singapore stall with Kevin & Elin from Korea
People at work
Mr. Currie & us
Anyway, Johnson will be away for from tomorrow till Saturday for his trip to London with the culinary class. And I will be away from Friday to Sunday for my trip to London.
Waaaaaaaa.
Have to wait for 1 week to see him in person. Haha.
Hopefully, I can fall asleep without him beside me eh.
And looking at the brighter side, I got a bigger bed. Haha.
Hmmm.
I guess people change.
I guess people are at times 2 faces.
I don’t deny that I am sometimes like this too.
But, it’s so weird to see your friends acting so indifferent in front of you when you know actually what is happening.
Hey, afterall we are from one country.
I shan’t go further.
Because, I’m going for dinner.

It's International Night in school next friday and we have to prepare a booth, a performance and food for that day.
With this event upcoming, it brings back National Day memories as our singer from Singapore will be singing on stage.

Despite it dates back to 1999, the song is still very familiar to all.
Though its also not a new song, it's still familiar. Haha

Tired. Sleepy. Lazy.
When I was at Zurich, after alighting the train, I couldn't find my hp.
Don't know if it's because I was out almost the whole day yesterday or is it because of the tense feeling i get nowadays, I feel shack and tired. No mood to do my work.
Anyway, I have received birthday presents from a few people already. Haha.
Was up at 0615 yesterday because of my interview in Zurich at 1000.
Had a quick breakfast in school and off I went.
Going out of Luzern alone for the first time.
Good experience.
When I was at Zurich, after alighting the train, I couldn't find my hp.
Headed back into the train and to the seat, don't have.
Alighted again then go up and find once more and this time round a guy on board looked at me and asked if I was finding my hp. Thankfull, he said someone found it and pass it to a staff.
Heng ar. It was at the lost and found counter.
Made my way to the Youth Hostel which was 15mins away by tram from the station.
The map is so deceiving can.
Overall, the place is ok. The people seem nice but the students who are interning there are diploma students. It's just so weird when a BA student is doing the same job as them. Plus, they want me to work till 31st Dec which is impossible because I have to be back in Singapore by then because of the air ticket.
So in conclusion, I rejected the job but I have yet call the company up though. Maybe later.
Don't know if it's because I was out almost the whole day yesterday or is it because of the tense feeling i get nowadays, I feel shack and tired. No mood to do my work.
Going out later for project again. Getting posters and uniforms.
Anyway, I have received birthday presents from a few people already. Haha.
My parents, Anna, Pamela and Johnson.
So, who's next???????

Bad mood.
Emo mood.
Sad. Disappointed. Uncertain. Lost
Mixed feelings of what is happening now made me cry the past 2 days.
Firstly, was the internship.
It's a hostel in Zurich. Take note, a Hostel.
I don't know if it is a good or a bad thing man.
The bad thing is that afterall it is a hostel rather than a hotel.
The good thing is that the hostel has won quite a few awards.
You can check out the hostel. Youth Hostel Zurich
It made me very irritated thinking of what should i do or decide.
Part of me want to have an experience but part of me feel like going home.
Oh wells, I shall see how the interview goes tml.
Secondly, I just receive my result for my fnb grp work.
Lowest out of the 4 groups.
Very disappointed even though part of me expected such results.
And actually I am very disappointed with myself because of the results that I have achieve here.
None of the assignments that I have done so far got the grades that I want.
Putting in effort, yes i did.
Spending time to complete them, yes i did.
But in the end, its just not right.
It's good that I will be out tml for the interview in Zurich alone.
A time for me to collect my thoughts alone.
But Johnson has been supportive when I cried.
Always want me to tell him what happen even though i didn't want to.
Somehow or rather, hopefully everything will be fine.

If this persists, I wonder how am I going to face my parents with my results.
Stress. Confuse. Messed up.It's good that I will be out tml for the interview in Zurich alone.

It was green day, project week and career day this week, which means we do not have any formal lessons.
On Monday, it was “green” day, so we had to wear something green if not wear formal wear. Basically, I didn’t have anything green with me but Johnson got 1 for me in Venice. The trip to the farm was cold. Haha. But was ok la, at least better than staying in school having talks.

the moos.....
the mehs...
the i don't know what sound it makes
me and i don't know what it is
the oinks...
There were no sessions or talk yesterday but we had a German excursion in the morning which was nothing much la.
Had my first paid job in Switzerland for an event with many other of my classmates. The uniform was funny looking, but I didn’t take any pictures though. It was told that we were paid 21CHF per hour and working from 12noon to 11p.m. If you calculate, it totals to 200CHF in a day. BUT, somehow it was said that our pay was 7CHF and maybe with the help of our teacher, 14CHF per hour. Guess we have to wait till Monday to know.
It was lucky to be assigned the buffet stand for the day instead of the clearing and serving side. The good thing is that my partner speaks English and we did talk quite a bit. What I had to do was to serve people food, like what they want I give them la. But they speak in German, which I don’t understand, so basically, I had to play by ear. It was getting cold in the evening with just one layer of clothing but I got my jacket on.
At the end of the job, we were all like scavengers looking for freebies left on the table.
Lanyards, sweets, postcards, files, Swiss knife, chocolates.
Haha. Yongyi and I even got 2 bottles of unopened beer from the bar. (not for me!)
Despite being so tired, slept only at 2am plus because I couldn’t fall asleep even though my eyes could barely open. Woke up a 8am in the morning to wash clothes, hang clothes and wash clothes.
Anyway, school is officially going to start again on Monday.
Dissertation. Questionnaires. Dissertation.
German test. Study. German test.
And ya. I got a notification that I have to see Mr. Hermann for my internship, regarding the interview which will most likely be in Zurich. Actually, I’m having second thoughts on internship.
Feel like going home, feel like taking the opportunity to gain experience and earn money.
I’m afraid that I will be the only one doing internship.
Or maybe, I’m afraid that someone may not get what he wants.
I don’t know.
Shall see how it goes or better, so what company it is.
Till then, I’m having me fnb meeting soon.
