Living in darkness...

Literally. Both lights in my room went kaputt today so i have no light, and the weather outside is so bad that there aint much sun today, just a really cloudy/windy/rainy day. so much for the good weather post previously.

in fact next week it might even snow! its crazy here, the weather here. one week sunny as singapore, next week snowy as sweden. baaaaah.

so now i have a problem. german exam is tomorrow and i need to study but studying in poor light is bad for your eyesight. Guess i just have to go sch and study or sth but thats so sad u know, going to school on a sunday to study. plus the bad weather outside just makes me wanna not step outside at all... maybe i'll just study in the kitchen, or bunk in with another student and study in their room. or something.

anyway! chinese hot pot yesterday.. it was good fun! haha.. i never had such fun talking to genrong and fengying before, reminiscing on singapore and SMU ways.. i feel so old. oh 2 french were invited and i was surprised that a black guy could use chopsticks. haha! amazinggggg.. but he was good. proof below.

and then the assistant's party.. i guess assistants here are like TAs but maybe they're paid full time TAs. have no idea how the system works but they threw a free party so hey im not complaining. yeah free but the beer was SOOOO badddd. so disgusting that even my alcoholic friends couldnt bring themselves to drink it. haha. i just had one and i was done. the music was good until halfway it became all the super old and retro songs; i mean its not like mambo songs u know. and i cant do action thingies here i'll get laughed at.. haha. so i just sat there and kinda moped.. there are just some people i dont really like to dance with. left soon after too..

oh and my dearie sent me a really sweet email this morning :) i missed him too during the party yest.. wish he was there with me.

fooooood.. yummy yummy. i miss dong fen (bottom right hand corner). and the chinese people have a very interesting way of eating hot pot.. they pour sesame oil into their plates and then whatever liao they take from the hotpot, they put on their plates. and they eat with the ma you! so cool right. quite smart also.. next time i shall try at home. and also, they dont add egg into the hotpot soup... so strange! i always do that leh!
L-R: Zhonghua from Peking Uni, Yang from Shanghai doing MBA here, Ying Ying also from China doing MBA (she married a german guy. shes so pretty!), fengying and genrong from smu.
