2 months after arrival in Stockholm...

By golly, time flies! It's already almost 2 months since I've arrived in beautiful (cold) Stockholm. Work has long since started - in fact, both school and work loads are piling up by the day. I've worked hard and played harder, learnt to be ever so much more independent, and met people whom I'm beginning to treasure more each and every day.

And, so as not to bore your guys, here are 6 things that I've loved about Sweden in the past 36 days:

1: The beautiful city of Stockholm!
Stockholm is absolutely a sight to behold! (Clo, i know it's not better than the blue skies in France, but i really really do love it! :P)




2: My crazy corridormates, who give me something to look forward to at the end of every tiring workday!

"The horrible brazilian guy who left.. Freddo, you will be missed deeply! :S And of course, there's also grandpa Soheil! :P"

"Crazy Annie and pretty Clo! What would I do without the two of you??"

"And here's the prettiest girl in the corridor... of course! :P"

I don't have pictures of Nicklas and Nikki, but oh, life here just won't be the same without them!!

3: Dearest Noripok and my wonderful batchmates and 'seniors'!

Dearest noripok came over to Stockholm just to celebrate LNY 2010 with us.. Without here, LNY would have been oh-so-dull.. Miss you noripok! :'(

Wonderful seniors and batchmates who have made this time here in Lappis ever so meaningful!

4: Learning to cook out of pure necessity!

Imagine ma, I can cook! And it's edible! And i haven't gotten food poisoning! :P

5: Great colleagues, and two crocodiles to peer at whenever I'm about to fall asleep!

So, I haven't taken any photos with my colleagues (it's a bit hard to do that at work), but I've got a real life croc in my current temporary office!! >.<

6: A lovely 'tour guide' - someone whom I look up to and respect.

So that person doesn't like taking photos.. guess who? But I really treasure the privilege of having someone so wonderful and inspirational right here with me, on the most exciting journey of my 22 (and a half) years.

And so, this is but a fraction of what I've experienced thus far. It's been an honour to get this opportunity to be here, and i keep reminding myself to make full use of each and every single moment. It's only a year, and i wish there was more time! But while there's still time, let's make the most of it! Carpe Diem! :D

With love to all in sunny Singapore,
me
