Sorry guys for the really late post, it's been like 3 weeks since I last posted. So I promise this post's gonna be long. A looot of stuff happened....lol. I did a presentation on Hotel Operations with my group, turned out well..though we were rushing during the last day to prepare our powerpoint slides but still..we made it. I thought we did good, so I'm hoping for a good grade. That was the week before my mid-term break. My mid-term break was on the 21st March to the 30th March which is yesterday....
The eve of the beginning of the break...
I must be really suay~...
It was after school, in the night. Me and my room mate (Daniel) thought of going down to town to grab a kebab at Paradise (It's really good) since everyone else was out at Black Pearl ( Club in Montreux) So, ok...we went down by the furnicular, walked to the cafe and ate. It was still alright and then, I saw the time: 1230am. So, I thought we had better go back before the furnicular shuts off. We reached the furnicular at 1.10am and I looked at the schedule: Last departure is at 1.30am..so we went in.
Here's where it starts....the freaking furnicular suddenly shuts down at 1.20am! Me and Dan were like Wtf? And then, I thought it'd turn on again at 1.30am to go up back to school. Little did I know that it was still dark at 1.30am...
2am....2.30am...the furnicular won't move...AND WE WERE STUCK FOR THE NIGHT! The worst thing is it shut off its heater and the seats are really hard. And so, we slept with the cold and the hard "bed". I was supposed to wake up early in the morning during the next day to meet my friends at Lausanne for a trip around Switz.
I woke up again at 3am. Couldn't sleep because it was sooo cold, it's like below 10 degrees. Imagine sleeping in your freezer for the night, it's crazy. And i also couldn't sleep because Dan was snoring soo loudly...
It was the worst night of my life.
3.15am. Dan woke up because of the cold also and we decided to just chit chat till it starts to the leave in the morning. (5.25am) So..funny, we were like sitting next to each other, shivering throughout the night.
That was JUST the eve of the break...
kk, it's 1.04am in the morning. School's starting in 9 hours time. I had better go sleep. Promise to you readers I will continue tomorrow!
So......Stay tuned to the sequel of....Casper's Mid-term break special!

Another school day
It's Monday afternoon at approximately 12.20pm. Just had my lunch, before that, I had my Hotel operations exam. It wasn't that bad, hoping for a 8/10. Oh yea, got my accounting exam results last week.....9.6/10. Nice start for me, I'm aiming for a 8.5 or 9 for my average over 10. Must continue to study hard and make sure Singaporeans own the honor roll in Glion, lol! There's another Singaporean in the same class as me, Ronald, Smart arse guy..hahaa. I think he had 9.6 for accounting also and he's the academic support in my class. Any academic problems, he'd be able to solve it.
I'm now waiting for my IT class to start in an hour's time. While waiting, took a picture of the view in the room.....
云海！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
The clouds drifting below the mountains...looks so nice. I still remember mummy being so 在意 about 云海. Lol, somehow, I miss quarreling with my sister, talking animes and games and US dramas with my bro, going out for dinner with my family on sundays.....haii....miss the "gaying" around with de-gua, p-gua, hou gay, tin, yang you (yanyu), niao (bird), jie wen!
Seriously, I can't wait for National Service man, at least I'm back in Singapore and I can book out during weekends to see my family and friends. 1 year and 3 months counting down to graduation of my Diploma!!!!
OH yea, went to Beijing town restaurant yesterday for dinner with my room mate, Daniel (he's from Indonesian). Finally, I got to taste my Fried rice! Though salty, being able to taste it had such a good feeling. Too bad, they didn't have YangZhou fried rice. I would have preferred that.
One of the classes in school just finished their Craft Based Learning (CBL) yesterday. It's like practical lessons in school whereby we have to work in the restaurants and cafe to serve and cook food for the student population. Jermaine, another Singaporean just finished her CBL so my room mate's having CBL now. My class is the last class to do it. Well, it looks fun and interesting but it's tiring...or so I have heard.
Anyway, that's all for now! CYa!

Snow?!
woo hoo, it was snowing today at school. Sooo niceeee, woke up in the morning and saw the beautiful scenery at my window. It snowed last night on the top of the alps and created a line: top covered with snow and the bottom was forested green. Too bad I didnt take a picture of it.
Anyways, the snowing first started during accounting today. Halfway through accounting lesson, bits of snow started to fall. It was so beautiful, too bad the snow's too small, melted on the ground instantly. There were some areas on neighbouring mountains where it collected snow and it was white. soo nicee. Ah, Crap, there seems to be something wrong with blogspot. I can't insert my video on the snow. I will try and do some other time, sorry guys.
It snowed around 9am and then at noon and finally at around 4pm in the afternoon. It was like snow, stop, snow stop, snow and stop.

I went to the fitness room after dinner, did some workout, mainly cycling to really burn down the fats at my abdomen. And then, I got a call from my classmate: the heater's not working for the tap and the shower. Wtf?!
I went back to room to shower and yea...it was true. It's freezing cold in the showers for the first time, so cold my feet went numb after wetting it for 20 seconds. I stopped the water, couldn't bear the cold temperature. It's seriously like bathing with the cold mountain water outside the school. I tried again. I wet my head with the cold water from the showers, 5 seconds and I gave up. It was like my head was having a brain freeze, just spraying cold water with it. In the end, I just gave up and dried myself.
What happened man...It was like the snow froze the heater for the showers or something.......so upset with it.

It's the weekend!!!
Hey guys, casper here. Woo hoo! It's the weekend once again. I get to wake up late and have no lessons for 2 days..nice..well I'm just reporting what I did for the week anyway...
Had lessons as usual, hotel operations, F & B, basic accounting and English language. Yea, I know, why am I having English language in a hotel school. Well, the thing is all Sem 1 students had a placement test for the school to assess our English level. It seems that I didn't do well enough to be exempted from English. Apparently, only 2 students in the entire cohort managed to do so. Fortunately, I'm doing Academic English which is the highest level of English course in the school. If I pass my English test this semester, I can get exempted from English for the next semester. Yeaaaa...
F & B was nice. We had wine tasting session and more lessons on the different types of wines. Hotel operations was also fine: just lessons on rooms and calculations on how hotels did on their linen stocks.
I had an accounting test on tuesday, thought that the test wasn't really that hard (considering I had done accounting before). I'm hoping I score for that test to pull up my G.P.A for accounting.
Besides having lessons, the weather's turning better now. It's not as cold as before and the view from my room's getting more amazing each day with the clear weather.
Well, now I'm just slacking in the room waiting for dinner. Don't really know what to do during weekends though, considering the fact that I can't go clubs since I'm underage and shops here close at 5. Maybe, I'll just stay in my room and watch some movies online. The connection in my room's getting better. It used to be soooo bad because my room was at the corner of the building, furthest away from school. I used to get disconnected from the internet like very 10 mins. Now, not only do I get to go youtube (my school usually blocks it on weekdays), I stream videos very fast online. I just finished watching jay zhou taipei concert 2007 yesterday. It was soo good. I'll recommend it to everyone.
So, that's my plan for the week: watching more videos and maybe doing my hotel operations project. Those reading this, you can chat with me on msn if u know my email. I'm basically in my room for the week. Feel free to nudge me if you want, just don't keep doing that. =)
Cya! Au revoir! 再会！じゃな！
