Thursday- Elements of Social and Applied Psychology Class

Friday- Managerial Economics, Financial Intermediation Class.

In the evening, tkd training session. NE to W, W-NE, NE to W, and W to NE again.

Saturday and Sunday- Part time work.

Dinner at JustAcia with my two lovely colleagues

After work, I decided to do some window shopping at Vivocity- A shopping place located beside the Harbourfront Station. I visited the Nat Geo store and the pictures on the wall inspired me. I'd like my future house interior design to be English coupled with Scandinavian minimalistic. Many other ideas are stored inside my head.

Then, I did some window shopping and spotted this Rip Curl coin purse which I liked. The replacement to the Braun Buffel wallet I've misplaced.

This coming Saturday, my friends and I will attending the 'Something about the 3s' outing. We will be playing volleyball in the afternoon (Yes!) and surf at Wavehouse in the evening (Double Yes!)

Completed a 10.5 hour work shift today.

Training tomorrow evening.

So that makes a a half day of rest tomorrow.

Some little updates.

Just finished solving a question on Auctions.
First price sealed bid auction with 3 bidders. V~ (0,1). And basically, we have to solve for the expected revenue of the sellers.

My classes are on Thursdays and Fridays. I must mention that the morning classes are just tedious. So, the journey from home to school takes me 1hr and 30mins. Multiply it by two and that's my traveling time per day for both days.

I'll be focusing on academics, work and training for at least till June next year. The rest of the days, I'm just as happy hanging out with my friends. Whether it's for a weekday movie*, a swimming session, hanging out and chatting over a fine dinner. *(For Cathay cinemas, the student price is $6 for a movie with a complimentary small coke. On weekdays only.) <- I absolutely love this.

For this month, I've watched:
You're the apple of my eye,
TinTin: Secret of the Unicorn in 3D
and Twillight: Breaking Dawn Part 1.

One thing that I missed about studying in BI is the interactive and engaging classroom lessons. For here, the students are collectively quiet. So quiet that sometimes I have the impulse to break the trend. Haha.

Oslo is like 8 degrees C and Singapore is 26 degrees as of now.
We're having plenty of rain here.

Having muscles aches from the training. Love it.
Tata. Good night.

The pace for today is good. Was supposed to go for ME class. But had a headache due to the strong sun entering through the my not thick curtain. Did some studying for ME and had dinner before going out for soccer. Yes. One goal, last minute. So elated. However, I grazed my knees.

I have to wake up in less than 3 hours time.

A little emo today. But okay... Heex.
Good night.

A little glimpse of the British Monarchy

I have to admit that I only got interested after watching the Royal wedding. And thanks to the commentary given by out walking tour guide from the Original London tours, I've caught a few pieces of information. And watching The King's Speech reinforced some of the things he said.

The King's Speech focuses on the life of the King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth 2. The movie focuses on the struggle of the King, till his coronation.

The heir apparent will be Charles, Prince of Wales. Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge is second in line to the throne. And yes, he's the prince who married Kate Middleton on the 29 April 2011.

Interesting fact: George VI's elder brother, who abdicated from the throne. broke the tradition on coinage each successive monarch faced in the opposite direction if it's predecessor. His face left, same as his father. When George VI succeeded the throne, he faced left also, to maintain the tradition. Because if there were any coins minted featuring Edward would have shown him facing right. Interesting.

The King's Speech. Highly recommended.

Holiday Inn, Singapore

This is traveling within home country.

It's weird, but ya. We're going to be at Holiday Inn tomorrow this time.

So wanting to swim in that pool. Oh yes!

Exotic Snail Mail

I've sent this postcard back home from the Posten. The picture on the right shows the shops and the services available in that little hut.

From that little hut, I sent a postcard back home. And there you go, a chopped stamp from Longyearbyen, Svalbard.

A postcard should send your regards, and is almost equivalent to a 'hardcopy update' of your well being.

What did I wrote:

I'm in Svalbard. Just finished my dog sledding trip. It's really wonderful and I'm enjoying it here. The mountains here are really beautiful and the sled dogs are really cool as well. Loved it so, so, so much.

I've decided to send another postcard to you guys. This is one of the most exotic place to send out. Or maybe, this is the most exotic place. Svalbard is about 1309KM away from the North Pole.

Love, Stella.

I could still remember so vividly that the weather was super cold. 5 degree celsius minus wind chill. Brrr. And to update, it's -19 degrees celsius at the time of this post. BRRRRR...

Keep the old trade alive and give the postmen some jobs. Go, snail mail.

*I'll update this blog when whenever I have the time, or when I have the feeling to write. Stay tuned.

Black Pepper Salmon Steak from home

The Salmon steak and Scampi from Bergen inspired me to whip up the dish from Singapore.

It is relatively easy to prepare and I think the toughest part would be controlling the flame. If I didn't remember wrongly, this is the second steak I've prepared since returning.

Fork is from Ahlens City, Stockholm.

A little taste of Scandinavia.
