As the title, was like a bee the past one week. Had yet another of those 16 hours contact hours block subject with one of the most interesting tutor I have ever met. Classes were always fun despite the fact we have a lot of topics to be covered. 4 hours slots were not much of a problem which was really good. Completing this week also means another assignment on the list to be completed but its the first INDIVIDUAL assignment. Phewww!!

Apart from attending classes, my head was also constantly working on assignments. When there are more than one head working together, the likelihood of clashes will always be there (and not avoidable in most cases) This MBA course is really challenging me mentally. To know what to do, when to do it and how to do it best when you are put into a position that you would really never imagined in your life. Over the past week, I’ve learned to know how to take a step back, breath, think and move on again. Before I enrolled, I told myself I will be fine if I keep my head clear but somehow when I was in the midst of all the workload, people and ‘drama’.. I lost touch.. and the past week just reminded me of just that.. (Esther, Ern: I’m fine.. don’t worry!!!) And to know the amount of support I have in regardless where I am was just what I needed to move one with a clear mind. It was really nice to get small messages left in the inbox to just tell you are missed. Its really one of those many reasons that kept me strong. So keep it coming peeps hahaha (you people know who you are..)

So nothing to say bout assignments submission every week but this week, the school had the semesterly event..- INTERNATIONAL NITE 09B. Bringing people from all around the world to share the different culture especially food. We had dance performances and booth/stalls set up all around the campus to show off the country. Malaysia Truly Asia were consist of almost 20 people including yours truly and had 7 or 8 chefs to man the kitchen and produce Good Yummylicious Malaysian food. The rest of the people were just helping here and there for the booth set up. Overall comment is we had real fun on International Nite.

Just a few I made into collage quickly.. For more visit —>FaceBook

Had a productive weekend and ready for a full week ahead again.. Hmm time is passing by so fast its getting nearer to my midterm break which reminds me of the time left here.. One part of me wants to get home and back to my comfort zone but another part of me knows I will miss this place deeply just like how I felt the last time I was here.  Will leave the *emo-ing* nearer to my departure date, time being will enjoy to the fullest.. (Mi: if you are reading this, I’m ok.. relaxed and moving)

Will remind myself what I’ve always said to myself at times I felt most deflating.. * What doesn’t kill me will only make me stronger!!* (have no idea whose quote is that but it really works!!)

Signing off now..

Ok Bai

Hello Peeps!!

Its a monthly thing here. Random updates monthly haha.

Over the past 4 weeks, major assignments were due, finalizing a few subjects, relaxing, partying and getting myself confused I don’t know how, seriously.

So many things happened over the past one month. I don’t even know where to start or how to start. Classes as usual Mondays to Fridays with assignments here and there. And my classmates sometimes amazed me with their capabilities. I truly understand the diversity now and working my way around it or maybe through it. Its frustrating at times but thats one of the reason I’m here. To take up the challenge and strengthen my mental capabilities. Its piling up, building the intensity of stresssss.. (oh god help!!!)

Apart from all the workload I have to manage, I also entertained a few guest that stop by Lucern. First was Mr. Gjerde that I’ve met during the China Olympics ’08. Was on his way to Poland and stopped by Lucern.

Had almost a week of wonderful days with him. Strolling by the lake, walking aimlessly around was some of the things that took my mind off school work. Only managed to be tour guide for a day around Lucern town on Saturday. (Friday was our first Student Bar and dragged Haakon along and luckily he went caused I passed out after certain mixture of I Don’t Know What. ) Went to Blue Balls Fest, spend a nice Sunday by the lake and had good Nasi Lemak dinner prepared by Chef Sira. The weekdays passed by so quickly as I went to school and my guest went sight seeing on his own haha.. Spend most of the evenings cooking at home as I always had some readings. Managed to go out the night before his departure to meet Micheal and Roman. Time spent wisely overall. Departure is always my weakness, so I ended up with a quiet weekend. Some photos during Haakon’s visit–>

The tourist-must-have photo-spot!

Cute Red we saw by Kappel Brucke

Blue Ball Festival with the girls.

One of the outing days. He is so tall I find it hard to get a picture without him bending down and me tipping on my toes.. Si Panjang!!!

So thats my first guest in Lucern and thats not the end of my guest list. haha. Just few days ago, My piglets from Frankfurt came to visit before continuing on their Euro Trip. I remembered when we had a reunion dinner just before they left  end of January and now its time for them to go home. How time flies. Had a few days full of laughter I never had in almost 4 months now. Same thing, had a few nights a home for home cooked food plus its cost effective haha…

Here are some photos of them, –>

First picture taken upon arrival.

Swiss Dinner with a few others.

How can I not miss this two???  (KC: da sei le ar!!/ Wilson: Sot jor??)

The company of the nite. Good food, music and most importantly good company!!

Sunny day out to town!!

On the morning they had to leave.. Sob Sob

Ok thats all for now.. Sleepy and thinks the post is running too long.. hahah excuses..

Ok Bai!!

Hello people, Gruezi!!

It has been almost 3 weeks back here in Luzern and classes started last Monday. And best thing is I have finished at least 2 presentation and formed 3 different groupings and had already group discussions together with some disagreement at the begining. In all there have been work and hard work and harder work along the way but thats not all because i didn’t forget to have fun at the same time.

This time round, i return as a half student half working adult mind. I would say it is somehow easier for me to digest the stuff in the 4, FOUR hours straight of lectures. But somehow a lil weird to be having people addressing me ‘Ms. Wong’ but I introduce myself as ‘Shin’ to new faces. Thats is something i’m still adjusting. Oh that would lead me to last Friday, it was the first Friday night since classes started and almost the whole population of IMI planned to head down to ‘Opera’ a local club. Initially I didn’t intend to join the clubbing session and was in zurich after class. Linardy was off and it was CRAZY SALES in Zurich. (shall get back to the sales craze later). So i got home slowly, no hurry and was demanded to get changed and get going. So low and behold i was in and out of the house joining the crowd and end up getting home around 5.30am. It was 23 1/2 hours staying awake. I have long stopped doing that ever since I started working. It felt so good to be like some energized bunny again. Partying with people that was once my students was also something quite exciting.

Ok now some pictures to not bored you guys to death. (Cryst: this is for you.. me still alive)

Thats me.. on a happy day.. when I had a few guests visiting

Shaz who just arrived.

Ahmad that was tired of carrying the heavy laptop bag around time.

Dennis who are jealous of my apartment…

And Aiman, my financial controller, and my hang out space provide..

Weather here is like ‘harga saham’. fluctuates like crazy!!  One day rain with thunder and lightning, the next could be all bright and sunny and the next day could be cloudy and cold like its autumm already. And it changes everyday. Drives me nuts to think about what to wear to school to keep myself warm enough or not too much(I’m staying off campus this time and it takes  about half an hour travelling time everyday, changing bus and carrying laptop bag, handbag and sometimes umbrella is not too convenient. What is going to happened when the snowing starts??) Everyday, i have to go thru this ===>

Bus Schedules… and FEW of ‘em. Will be able to memorized it by the end of the semester.

Mentioned bout my housemates, and below are just a few of some silly stuff we do when we are free.

Thats Sneha from India—> Dress up in some kinda dress, then start putting on pegs on the face. I don’t know why she did it but she did it and asked us to take photos.

Thats Itzel from Mexico —> Joining the photo session while we are actually sorting things out.  Started so randomly with one doing silly stuff and it slowly linked up to the rest.

And then you have me.. joining.. (There were other stuff we did that was not captured like suddenly turning on some Bollywood music and start dancing..Or start playing ‘KABADEE’..Or just start laughing for no reason..)

Ok for now.. A birthday party goin on in the living room so i shall go join the crowd….

Ok Baii for now..

Signing off with huggies!!

Woohoo… Its my third day back in the beautiful town and it felt like I’m back home. Felt so good to be back and to top that up, ITS CRAZEEE SALEEES time. So many things, so much discount but so little $$. I havent start growing money tree on my balcony. LOL

Hmm a little update about my current place. Checked into a single room with lake view top floor ‘what more can i ask for’ Fully equipped apartment with two bathroom. Cool housemates so far. 3 rooms still unoccupied. Big spacious common area with boxes and boxes of my housemates stuff.. Looks like 8 person’s stuff but in fact its only for ONE. I dunno how to start clearing or where to start. Eventually it will dissapear when PA marks starts running haha.. As off now, internet connection is not sucky. FB the utmost important daily duty.

Went off shopping for some NECESSITY for the room and myself and ended up with some shower gel, some food, 3 bags and 2 pairs of shoes. Kill me already. Its only how many days again?? Gosh I’m officially starting to hate going to town or walking thru old town or even the train station. Shessh..

Activated my sim, which was given to me by a kind cutie pie. Topped up and found out it cost 1CHF for 5 minutes call bk home and 0.09CHF for calls to the same network. Hmm quite cool rite. Wanted to try out the rates but noonw back home picked up my calls.

Met some cool people and went to the airport the second day of my arrival to send off a friend. Crazy isn’t it? Lend my SDcard to the friend so i have no pictures of the day to upload and show off here. She will be bk in a month and hoping the photos will appear in FB before that.

Thinks Swiss regulations are bias cos they say i’m OLD!! and starting to hate the number already. Found out few hours ago, my room number is the number i hate. Application for ‘young independent traveller’s card’ rejected.. *hate hate hate*

Making plans to meet old friends and still in search for MARCEL AKMAL.lost his contact number together with my old phone and he would hate me if i came back and didnt call. Anyone with his mobile num please let me know.

Dont know what i’m posting up now cos everything is so random and i’m still very excited to be back. Can’t believe next monday i have to be back in school.. Felt young again.

Till the pictures arrive. Tchuss!!!

Ok Bai

After a long week of stress and sweat, its time to sit back and relax. I have cryst’s photos pending and my trip photos pending but I just wana have a weekend with nothing to do and just relax.

The past week was havoc! Had our annual event and gosh the mess I tell you. Now i know why my teachers hated canteen days in my high school years. There were about 25 booths set up for competition last Thursday. They whipped up their own menus and god only knows how did they managed to prepare everything. (gosh I dont wana touch on the preparation methods they used… eeiiiww) From Monday, there were alot of things to finalized and reconfirm and re reconfirm again over and over again. Space for last minute changes were always there. And managing this whole thing with the help of 6 people was really hectic. *thank god its over*

Wed was prep day and every individual class came in to set up their booth, preparing for war on the next day. Tables all arranged properly for all but these people are so competitive and everyone wanted the best location and best customer feng shui, they changed here and there the direction and initial set up. One blocking another, what will happen?? Need i say more?? So I had to run around like a headless chicken settling all this issues. My own class was left unsupervised and others took advantage of this and at the end of the day, my class was pushed to a corner where noone can see us… Like that how to win best sales man???? sheshhhh….

Wednesday nite, four of my girls stayed over to do some prep. Slept for less than 2 hours and was at college by 6.15am on Thursday morning.

Had a tiring day but really enjoyable one too.. The happiest moment was to see more than half of my students working together, breaking walls and barriers to reach the same objective. Saw some really quiet ones taking charge of things and making sure everything was sailing smoothly. And saw my class rep goin crazy was also funny..

I guess now its the post food fest sympton, must rest and recuperate. Now let me go finish my novel then i should be all geared up for the next 6 weeks..hehe

Ok bai!!
