Soon Halftime...

So soon we have the Recess week, thats means no education for a week.. Feels good. But it is also the first sign that tells us that we are in the middle of the term now... Gaah, time rushes so fast.

Half time, all ready??? Fells like i just got here but hm, no there is like 6 weeks and 4 days since a put my white feets in this country.. well it has been kind of good weeks I guess!!

So the week that where was as usual, exept for the big MRT pub Crawl... The only we know before going to this event was that we where supposed to travel to different MRT stations, go of and have a beer or two (If ya are fast) on the nearest pub/7-11/ or other places that sell beer here in Singa... And meeting up in Boon lay to get a t-shirts so everyone could recognize each other..

When we arrived we realized that colour for the early MRT pub crawl event was Guantanamo orange.. So realize 520 participating exchange/local student in Guantanamo orange colored T-shirts heading for beer on the different MRT stations on the way to the middle of town...

We managed to get 4 stops on different MRT stations before we finally ended up at the end place which was called thumper. All participants ended up there at the end it was really fun! The place was so tiny but it was fun anyway.. Great event!

The rest of the week it was school as usual, had my first group meeting... All other student seems to have so many group works but i have only ONE, felt good with the first meeting. And we do have more then a month to get the work done before we are supposed to present it to the rest of the class...
For the rest of the week it was not much to say, I did manage to do my homework assignment before the weekend so this weekend I have had chilled weekend, no "must do" feels so great when all others exchange student are stressed for their upcoming mid-term exams...
Not fun on one way cause no one wants to do something, cause everybody have to study!
Only lets the pictures tell the story of the week... The MRT pub crawel story!

Meet up in Boon Lay MRT station..

Catch the MRT to next station..

Crowded on the train

Been to paradise thats why..!

Yepp long time ago since I last updated this blog, but there is no excuse for t but I have had some things to do for a while. But since no one complaining in the comments maby there is no one that reads this blog anyway.. :(

Well since my last update I have been doin some things.. I have had my first test in this school, and I think it went all right. There where 7 quick answer questions and tre longer answer questions. We where told that the test should be on one hour but i turned out to be only 45 min..
My doubts with this test before i got there was just the time. But I answered the quick answers as fast as i could and started on the longer ones... Did manage to get an realistic answer on two of them and started on the third one. And all of sudden, 5min left, 4min left... 1min left.. I could not get any good answer with some one standing and yelling the time. So I missed one question for sure, but whatever.. as long as I pass im all right! :D
The weekend where gonna be a planned adventure to the island in the northern part of Malaysia called Pulau Redang. But we where supposed to go there 10 persons but three ones dropped of so left was the 7 guys that only knew when the bus departured. All of us did not got place on the same bus so we took two different buses, Me and my Martin took one bus and Daniel, Said, Big Sal, Henrik and Jocke took another one.

Travelling with style...

Not as in Singapore.. dirty and poor YEAH!

The buses departured at the same time and the bus trip were supposed to be 9 hours, but for me and martin the bus trip where more like 10 hours... But when we arrived we had have no contact with the others so we hoped to get to see them where the buses stopped. But they where not there.. A man told us that their bus had got a break down and where three hours late..
Great, what to do now? We did not know on what resort we had reservated, so we could not go there.. and we did need to take out money so we could pay the resort for the living..

This view meet us! And where to go now..

We managed to find a crazy guy that wanted to take us to the neerest ATM machine so we could bring out some money, he took us to the neerest petrolina station 2km away. But of course the ATM machine was out of order. But we did need money so we asked him again to take us to the neerest ATM machine... Ehhm ok he said, I take you there for 80 ringa (160kr) but it will take 1 hour, so a quick calculation, the others bus where three hours late hopefully, that gives us one hour extra to not miss them... Of we went to the ATM machine, He never speeded under 100km/h and with the knowledge of that there where no safety belt and that all of sudden some of the cows that standing on the side of the road could decide to go over the road this went to be an adventure in the adventure. The travel did not take one hour one way so we did manage to get back in time.

Crazy man driving us to ATM machine

Back at the place we found the right resort and now things become clearer. The resort guy we talked to had have contact with the bus our friends where on so now we know when they were gonna be there. So we got some extra time in the sun looking at some beach crabs while we where waiting for the others.

A beach crab... with one claw?!

On the the way...

Finally they arrived and we could get on the boat to get to the redang island. It was nice weather and the island was as great as we supposed to.... I let the pictures talk for them self but this was absolutely worth all the time to get there. On the island we enjoyed the sun and the warm water with the tought of that "Hey, I actually get paid for doin this", THX CSN and KTH...

There where wild monkeys!

I also tried some snorkeling thats was included in the trip, this made me more interested of diving so we managed to get a discovery scuba dive without license but with some instructors. It was so nice ...

I found Nemo.. Aww

Long time someone commented this blog to.. So come on now...

Are we supposed to study!?

Ehm, the update about the weekend have to wait... Cause i have my first part examination in one of my courses, and since this Quiz is 15% of my final grade I really wanna perform good on it.

And I think I will, I have been studying it a couple of days now and it feels kind of simple but ya never know... Their is only one hours quiz so maby the time will be my biggest issue..

But it is good to practice with little time cause the examination will be in two or two and a half hour so...

The update about the last weekend will be arriving after tomorrow, and i might as well talk some about the next planned weekend..

But now back to some more study!!
