As the time flying pass...

... my SEP journey nearly comes to an end, currently in a bus going south to Oslo and fly to Barcelona soon.

Not longer a young kid, I have learnt(or let's say "forced") to accept the fact that everything in this world comes to an end and it is either slowly you forget about it or you keep it deep in your memory. 6 months of student exchange programme in Norway: traveled 3 months within Europe and Norway, studied(slacked) 3 months, cooked for 6 months (24/7), 2 months complaining about the high living cost of Norway, cursing RyanAir, EasyJet etc budget airline for 4 months, stirring shit(being stirred) for 5 months. What branded on my 6 months memory is the time we spent together, especially the time eating ice cream after dinner gathering. Although we always bullshit each other, that's the most relaxing time I had in my university life. If you want to buy this memory from me, I guess I cannot give you a price as it is priceless.

At the time I am writing this article, one of my travel mate is playing tower defend game while another is still sleeping regardless what book she is reading(I wonder how many pages she is able to flip before she fell alseep). Scenery outside the bus window is not longer white and dark brown. It is green. This really reminds me of coming here through winter, spring(not really at all) and now is almost summer.

-25C, I won't forget the first day I reached Trondheim and it is freaking cold. But I feel excited to see these snow again and didn't expect them to stay in my eyesight for so long until I am quite sick of it(unless we are going to ski :p) From 4 hours of daytime until 2 hours darkness in night, we still hang out together no mater how cold it is outside.

I know we will still seeing each other after we go back to NUS but I will feel damn emo when the clock strikes 5pm. I will start thinking of who else going with me to do the grocery shopping for dinner and what dishes we are going to have. Not forget to log in facebook, tagging everyone in someone's wall to call for dinner. We always complaining no life in here yet camping in facebook anytime but do we have another chance of having this kind of life again? I don't the answer but I am sure that things won't be fun without you all.

So my great friends, hope to see you all in Dimsum buffet in S'pore. Euro now is keeping dropping and I sure our friendship will only keep increasing. HUAT ah! :D

Random Stuff during SEP 5

The most SIEN thing i met during SEP so far is the RACIST problem.

Things happen almost everyday:

"Are you from CHINA?" "Is Malaysia/S'pore very far from CHINA?"

Okie... I am Malaysian Chinese, I look like China people, I have Asian dude face but do not ask these kind of stupid questions when we start our conversation.

Although I do not like the way the Big People do in my home country, I still feel happy for born in there.

We went clubbing(or we should say it is a party club) and my friend are pushed away by those angmoh. I guess they are local in Trondheim. They do not really like to bother to say Hi to us. That happens when I am lost in a housing area and I can approach noone. SHIT.

So, I do not really like to go party. chui music, chui pple...

Not really all angmoh but I met a few nice Italians :)

p/s: met a drunk angmoh girl in DownTown... siao...

p/s: when they drunk, they fight, set fire and what else?

Random Stuff during SEP 4

The education system in NTNU is totally different from NUS.

It is good to be degree student in NTNU but not no-degree student (eg. exchange student).

Aiming for a C/D to pass courses(we use module in NUS), we still have to submit 80% of our homework/assignment(so call tutorial in NUS) to enter the final exam hall. Even worse they are not graded. Can u imagine exchange student doing assignment every week?

And the worst part is most of their module is 100% Final! No any CAs or mid term test OMG

Comparing to NUS, NTNU does not really take good care of exchange student.

But, I met quite a few nice prof here also. =)

p/s: finally i can see the sun when i wake up at 8am (:

Random Stuff During SEP 3

Hardworking Norwegian?!

Just back from Heat and Mass Transfer, the 2nd last lab in NTNU, I have a funny Norwegian labmate. When I told him that I found Norwegians are hardworking, he is so shock. Haha...

True! I can see them studying in library early in the morning and it is only week 3(their school calendar follow the true calendar, so week3 = week2 in nus)! But normally the local admit they are slacker, perhaps they really know how to enjoy their life!

Work from 8am-4pm, and their life started after 4pm. Fishing, skiing and others activities after work!

A bit racist now, ahneh is the laziest lah XD Talk cock only!

P/s: the nice Argentina lab staff treat me a cup of coffee! and willing to stay for 1 more hour until we finish our lab discussion even though we should leave at 3pm!

p/s2: the local lab staff here mostly cant speak english well... so... OMG!

Random Stuff During SEP 2

Kiasu-ness can be found in anywhere, including Norway!

This is true as i heard from my friend:"We(Norwegian) will also chiong for free stuff!"

And you can see many people standing in front of booth(eg. career fair) taking free chocolate sweets, coffee, or free gift!

The most luxurious free gift i saw is LAPTOP BAG! OMG!

But i din get 1 as in it may end up been threw into dustbin when i going back Malaysia :P

But I get a bandanna(kerchief) and 2 reflective tape(for safety usage!) :)

Of course u can see many ppl go reception of my hostel to take free condom XD

FREE FLOW!

p/s: CNY eve... hmm miss home & reunion dinner in Kluang...

Random Stuff During SEP 1

Dozing off in Lecture Theater?

You can hardly see angmohs fall asleep during class.

Instead of this, they like to eat something, esp gals like to eat raw carrot! or drawing on the notes, guys always draw d*cks. (They will even draw on the assignment cover page!) WTF

p/s: Chinese New Year coming soon! Happy Tiger Year everyone (:

Experiencing Trondheim Day 2

Wake up early in the morning and we set off to the politi (police station)

*it's very heng as we never check the the immigration section in politi got open on Thursday 7 Jan*

we walked a long way to the politi and i decided to buy a boots halfway

my toes are freezing and i cant feel them

NOK399 a boot made in China, quite worth XD

after we reach the politi, OMG

we have to wait for 40+ people until our turn

after waiting for half an hour, we decided to go out and walk around.

we walked to the railway station and we saw the building built beside the river in old town

there is also big smoke on the river!

i bet those fall into the river will freeze to death in just a moment LOL

We took a few photos and went back to Politi.

After a long time, we finally get our thing done and wait for 1 week to collect back my passport.

Due to having 4 person and cold weather, we decide to take a cab back to school to join the orientation activities. Ya... we miss the 1st event which is giving speech by many ppl. :p

After 30 minutes of watching clips and listening to speech, we board the bus and start our city tour. We also find another 2 fellow from nus! Dione and Xianhui~

Downtown... Oldtown... City Center... Bymarka... It is too cold to walk outside so our city tour end very fast :(

After that we visit to the science center in Trondheim. I feel like secondary school kid in there. BORING!!!

The higlight of the day: FREE PIZZA BUFFET @ Egons!

OKie... I cant find the chiobu waitress mentioned by cheesim in the bar there. We have our lunch and dinner full there. But the pizza normal normal only lahhhh.

After that we went back to moholt and rest. Prepare for tomolo orientation activities.

he just let us pass through with a stamp from Amsterdam airport.

and we have to pay to access to the wifi... WTH...

The worst thing happen!

We rush all the way with lots of smoke coming out from mouth.

HAHA what a funny journey... pretty girl and handsome guy all the way to Norway!

on top of the sky i can only see snow in Norway~

and after like 2 hours finally we reach Trondheim!!! (:

but it is -22C in the city!!!

transportation fee here is super expensive

from airport to the city, it cost my NOK90 and it is ard RM54!!!

and it is too cold and afraid the reception close before 3pm
