national day weekend...

as usual, weekends have been spent in the university cos we need to tap into the internet network of the university... which sets me thinking - is internet an essential part of my life? ha~ what happened to those weekends in singapore spent far away from the computers, instead i would indulge myself in food, movies and gatherings... ha~

also, with my masters program coming to an end, i started crossing out on my calender the days to my departure - start of october... just found out a couple of days back that sterling airlines has some discounted tickets from aalborg to london starting from only 300DKK after taxes, and with this, i get my ass to london and fly home via A380!! =D

however, to do this, i have to leave aalborg latest 30th sept... kinda rushed but maybe, just maybe, i will be able to push through my thesis defense by end of sept...

found out dave had landed in germany! well, got to know him when i was in my 2nd semester in TUHH (hamburg), and he got himself the erasmus mundus scholarship to spend the next 2 years in europe! it's comforting to know that this scholarship scheme had become kinda well-known in singapore; and that i've managed to convince them (dave and yanling) to take up this scholarship... =)

for yanling, she returned to singapore recently after spending one year in italy and france... she was convinced that the past one year was indeed beneficial for her, and that she would definitely consider moving to europe again after her PHD studies in NTU... see what some international exposure will do to someone? (yanling, to me, is someone who is extremely homely and i was pretty amazed when i saw how much she've changed over a mere 12 months)...

for dave, he enrolled in a 2-year environmental engineering masters, which will see him spend some time in barcelona and hamburg... and i am sure that this experience will help him mature as a person...

lastly, for me, i dont know how my past 24 months in europe had changed me... guess i will only have a clearer picture after i get back...
