Skiing (17 Nov - 20 Nov 06 ) First time that I tried skiing! We went to Salen, further up from Stockholm (4 hours of train), to ski. Spend 2 days there skiing. The other 2 days was spend travelling there and back. Well who knows how to ski when they are born. haha.. Had alot of falls but all in all its fun. Whole body aching after that. Taken when we were on the bus to Salen. Our accomodation there.. cosy place with own living room.

Snow man! Salen.. Slope behind will be where we ski.. Cold..

Looking at the slope..

What can I say.. Great company, fun activity!

Ice Hockey Game (16 Nov 06) How can one miss a ice hockey game when spending winter in Sweden. Thus off we go to watch this ice hockey game. All I can say is its interesting! Manage to see some pushing and a penalty shoot where one play versus the keeper alone.. Sure goal..

My Birthday!! ( 11 Nov 06) Hmm.. lets see.. think its the first time I am celebrating my birthday overseas! In Europe somemore.. haha.. Alda and Uwei help me to organise a potluck dinner with my friends here in Sweden. Thank you everyone!

Outdoor Ice Skating (10 Nov 06) Outdoor ice skating! So fun.. haha. Althought I do know how to ice skate, still find it very fun..

At first just want to go take a look at the outdoor ice skate place then upon reaching, Uwei and Alda was already inside skating! haha how can I miss the fun.

Resurfacing the ice..Skate till the sky turn darks! haha..

Running in Snow ( 4 nov 06 ) First time running in such a cold weather.. Its snowing lightly.. Feeling of the snow hitting your face and snow falling into your mouth when you run is so special. Run with uwei to the back of our hostel.

Happen to see these hourses warming up for a race.

Jump house.. where we can ski down!

Day Two of Snow! ( 2 Nov 06 ) Went to school today.. Took some pictures along the way..

Nothing much today.. think everyone tired from last night Snow fight and sliding..

1st Day of SNOW!! ( 1 Nov 06) Was wondering why today was so cold when I woke up.. Then look out of the window.. Whoa.. its all white outside! And its snowing heavily! So excited!! First time I saw snow.. and its falling from the sky! The view was so nice. The weather forcast was so accurate! This is the view outside my window.. See its all white.. haha

Belgium & Netherlands (24 Oct 06 - 30 Oct 06) Finally can go travel again.. Went to Brussels, Brugge in Belgium and Amsterdam, Utrecht in Netherlands with Uwei and Diana. Enjoy this trip very much.. think its due to the company and the nice scenery. We had lots of jokes and took alot of photos. Arrive in Brussels on the 24 Oct and stay there for 3 nights, after which we meet up with friends doing exchange in Utrecht and went over to stay at their place for the next 3 nights. Let me talk about Belgium first.. Belgium.. Famous for its chocolate, toys and comic! (Do you know that TinTin is from Belgium?) Also there is alot of chocolate shop in Belgium! Bought some chocolate there.. will bring it back to Singapore! Amsterdam ( Netherlands).. Well.. Its famous for the red light district, space cake, harsh, marijuana... Tried the space cake and joint there.. Don't really feel the effect. Oh ya.. how can you not go see windmills in Netherlands. Went to some country side to see the wind mills. Also went to the Sex Museum in Amsterdam.. Heres the pictures.. Brugge:
