As the title, officially I classified myself as a NERD.. I’ve been studying and studying and more studying the past two weeks. Revision on all the topics covered in class, did text questions, sit and stare at the photos on the wall, sometimes click on FB to kepoh into other people’s life, MSN to further kepoh in more details and repeat cycle ten times over. I would say the furthest place I’ve been to for more than an hour the past one week (excluding Tues when I have to be back in school for a class) is Sira’s apartment just a floor down from mine..

And with that amount of movement, imagine what is happening…….. FATNESS.. *OMG* … Kill me already!!!

Sitting away my days are not a typical Shin’s day but but but how la to study standing or walking?? (Cryst: We have to go gym ok when I get home.. you need it for the ‘big’ day and I need it to go down on the scales hahahah) After this exams, I seriously need to move a little more and I’m looking forward to start the jogging regime that I’ve been talking about.. (to some people) I’ve signed up for Lucern Marathon… minimum 13k and maximum 42k.. So i need to build up the stamina that is long gone. Will come up with my exercise plan in the next post ok..  PLAN only not practices ok.. wahaha..

Ok now, will get back to being the nerd again, with the thick black rimmed glasses, piles of books and pieces of paper scattered all over the room, comfy pjs 24/7, a cup of coffee by the corner of the table… Oh I Love Strategic and Marketing!!!!! Exam in less than 24 hours.. Oh NOOOO.. GTG

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.

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!!
