So when was the last I updated the page?? Hmm… At least a month ago when my head were buried under the piles of books and declared myself a Nerd..  So, I’ve managed to finish all my exams, travelled a bit, got sick along the way, managed the on going never ending strings of assignments, relax , be myself and have fun the past few weeks. Everyone was commenting on my FB that I don’t look like I’m here to study, more to having the time of my life traveling.. Well the fun part is always captured in the photos and the not so fun part is kept aside.. (e.g. burning midnight oil for assignment submission, working in a group with people that does work half way, reading articles over articles of stock evaluations etc etc)

Since I have so many things that happened over the past few weeks, i would just summarize everything.. (photo updates please go check FB.. felt its double work to be posting lotsa photos that people have seen already)

Hmm.. Lets start with exams’ week. Completed three papers in the spread of three working days excluding the weekends… Hopefully results would be ok. haha.. Didn’t want to waste the already short term break, I flew to Norway the night after my last paper. Was my first time to Norway and also the first time I did not do any research about the city that I was visiting. Thought Mr. Tall would be there to be the tour guide (which he did) and all the studying for exam paper just left no extra space in the mind for holiday notes.. haha

Off I went to this foreign land where I knew 1 person out of the whole population.. Reaching bout 10-ish 11pm didn’t worry me because I was told the Express to the city only takes 20 minutes and last train leaves past midnight. Happily I went on the train ride looking forward to see Mr. Tall in the train station as arranged earlier but but but the nature of the industry we are in just likes surprises. Work took longer than expected and I was waiting in the station like some clueless lost kid with no sense of directions and bearing… It was cold and dark outside, the station has so many exits. I was instructed to wait at where i got down from the train and he will FIND me… sounds like its a big place that I might get lost. So I sat and read the novel i brought along till he sneak out from work to get me (Which was like three minutes walking distance) I could have managed to get there myself if i were slightly more into getting to know the basic directions haha… For once I was a lil scared waiting alone… Learned my lesson.. hehe…

The following days spend in the humble city of Oslo was superb. The city gives a warm impression and I would say its a nice city to live in. Its a city but practiced quality lifestyle (through my observation that is) Did my sight seeing, and met new friends that further extend their Norwegian hospitality to the small Asian girl. Overall, it was a good trip on my mid sem break. Two albums of filtered photos already in uploaded in FB , so go check there and i will only put up a few that I like here—>

And of course one with the friendly host..

The short one week was a good getaway from my daily stress from school.. Enjoyed it very much..–> Thanks to my awesome host, Mr. Tall.

So that was the first trip out of Switzerland. I came back for a week of classes and off again to the Queen’s Land, where I have expected to be drinking English tea everyday but my oh my how wrong I was.. I was fed with Chinese , Korean , Japanese, Malaysian cuisines throughout my stay.. And I felt like I was back in Petaling Street when I was in China Town.

The main purpose of the visit was to meet up my ex classmates who were there for many years now (damn that sounds old).. Managed to get  a good flight price but the timing was rather short though.. Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself so much and am very happy seeing the faces that I’ve not seen in years after college days… Not so much of sight seeing and my biggest regret was not able to manage the time and visit Madame Tussauds..  Again, photos were uploaded in FB—> *click* so here are the few highlighted ones—>
