It's 1.07am in the morning, 23 February, saturday at Switz which is about 8.07am in Singapore. You must be wondering why I'm blogging at a time like this. Well, you see...the thing is, I was supposed to be at a club now, drinking and dancing (well not so much of dancing, more on drinking). The problem is I got stopped by the bouncer outside the club, Damn!
The reason I couldn't get in was that I was not 18. Well, I am going to 18 this year, just that it's on 13 September, not on the freaking 22 February that he didnt let me in. I don't blame him, he's just doing his job but I just got upset that I could enter 2 weeks ago and now I can't. Maybe it's the crowd that allowed me to enter the club 2 weeks ago or maybe I just wasn't meant to enter yesterday. I went earlier yesterday (Friday, 22 Feb) because it's free entrance before 11 I think and there wasn't any crowd outside queuing to enter.
Anyway the main purpose to be in Switz was for studying and getting good results. At least now, I have Friday nights free since I can't go anywhere (shopping centres are closed at 5pm everyday, damn) so it's a good time to do revision -_-"
I had a half an hour walk from the club to the Funicular to take back up to school and spent my time watching "I am Legend" that I got from my friend before I started on my whining on the blog.
Well, that's all for me. Gonna sleep now, See ya guys!

School work
Yo guys, It's currently 8.10pm here in Switz. Currently in the midst of my homework. Woah....F&B, accounting, I.T and some academic support stuffs. Most are due tomorrow. So what am I doing now, blogging all this?
Lol, I have no idea either. I just thought that maybe taking a break from work might create some efficiency for the later half. Listening to Jay Zhou's songs, ahhh...brings me back to the days in Spore doing kbox-ing. Aww..man, it was so fun and crazy man...screaming your hearts out, throwing the nuts and snacks that kbox provided to each another....hai....I'm missing all those man, Degua and P-guar. Damn gay LAaa! lol!
Oh yea, since we're on the topic of KTV, it reminds me of KTV that my school (Glion) had. It was on the recent Sunday, organized by the students for students. I hope I'm not offending anyone or anything but the KTV they have here is really quite poor. Unlike Kbox where they show MVs or AT LEAST videos, the one over here just produces lyrics on the screen with black background.
Yea, I know the main purpose of KTV/ Karaoke is to listen to the people singing with the microphone but still...I'm so used to watching MVs from Taiwan artistes which has storyline or something. Here's completely just.....pitch black..NIL, null..nothing..zero.
However, the atmosphere was there. People singing and enjoying themselves, people listening and supporting those who are singing. Most songs were country. Hai, they only had English songs here, if there's chinese...woo...I'll definitely be the first one to sing.
lol, I think that's enough for now, gotta go back to homework.

More school...plus it's Valentine's day
Hello readers, well today's valentine's day but I still have school....anyway I don't have a valentine so it doesn't really affect me at all. Oh yea, just a shout out to all those couples out there: Happy Valentine's Day guys!
Well, it's actually 2pm now in Switz but I don't have lessons, at least not for another hour and a half. Woohoo...cuz
it's actually health and recreation lesson (H&R a.k.a P.E) for my class but since I'm a diploma student, I don't have that lesson for diploma course...nice. It's gonna free up a lot of time for me since H&R is 2 hours per session and I have it like twice to 3 times a week.
Yeap, I am slacking now. Chatting with people online on MSN, blogging.
Damn, my food is running out of stock, gotta get more. Luckily, there's a Asian supermarket not too far from school, can go there and replenish my stocks.
It's a nice place in campus. Good food from the restaurant and cafe in our school and we have a club that sells snacks. Many activities also in school like ski camps, snowboarding, this model night thing where students participates as models for a fashion show.
Oh, before I forgot, I went for an activity called Asian Food Night last night, made 汤圆， 云吞 : adding the feeling and wrapping it up. It was nice. The Semester 3 students who organised it cooked fried rice and there were also steamboat. Ate quite a lot...ah..gotta workout soon. Lol.
That's all for now, guys. I'm gonna watch Sweet Relationship (美味关系）that I downloaded from crunchyroll. See ya all!

School starts!
Sorry guys to keep u waiting, School started 1 week ago already so I think I better posting before I lost track of time in my blog. Guess I'll post more holiday pictures later.
School was fine. Still adapting to the environment though. People here are like all older than me but still it's a very good chance to get experience from here. My class has like 20 over nationalities, cool hurh...Classes are nice too. Teaching here is so different, lessons are opened to the floor for discussion. It's more like classmates teaching the lessons.
Oh yea, forgot to mention, my classmates has a mix of degree and diploma students (I'm taking diploma). So, actually, almost all my classmates worked before entering the school and their CVs have a lot of working experience and they share their working experience. Therefore, during lessons I get to learn things from them instead from the lecturers...for now.
I saw some of my friends from other classes today doing kitchen and service practicals. Very interesting cuz my campus has a cafe, a restaurant and a club. These places are served by students themselves so you get to see students as waiters and waitresses, cooks, dish washers etc. I'll be doing my practicals after my mid term break which is like last week of march for 2 weeks....so guys..wish me luck during then!
Gotta start researching on some group work I got today, so that's all for now. Miss ya guys!

Studyin in Switzerland!
hey readers...just started a blog for let my friends and family know how i'm doing in Swizerland. Just to reiterate, I've decided to study in Switzerland at G.I.H.E (Glion Institute of Higher Education) for a diploma (a bachelor degree ultimately).
I've been staying in Switzerland since 26th Jan. Sceneries here are magnifique! Swiss Alps, flat plains and lakes (hope im not causing any jealousy to any of my readers ^^). The food here's also great. Since Switzerland has 3 main languages (German, French and Italian), you get to try out the 3 types of food and cuisines at the respective parts of Switzerland....cool huh....
It kinda reminds me of Singapore (where I'm from) : multi-racial ---> ables S'poreans to try out many kinds of amazing and tasty food. Speaking of which, I'm already missing S'pore. It's my very first time leaving my country to study at a foreign place for months. It means I'm gonna miss S'pore food, places, festivals and most importantly: my family and friends!!!!
Fortunately, I have my mum with me for the 1st 2 weeks in Switzerland to ensure I can settle down before she leaves. I'm also well prepared in case I get homesick; I brought along BBQ pork, pineapple tarts and instant noodles! Hahaha..at least I still get to taste some of my local food here.
Oh yea, Im also gonna miss CNY(Chinese New Year) in S'pore. Arghh...sianzz...no hongbaos, no visits to relatives' houses to kop New Year's snacks and no holidays since Switzerland doesn't celebrate that. So I guess I'll be spending CNY with my mum at some Chinese restaurant here, hopefully still can get a little CNY atmosphere.... =(
Guess I'll end here for now, don't worry I post my explorations at Switzerland on the next post.
I came 1 week earlier before school starts to have vacation! Till then, Au revoir! (Goodbye)
