Austria!


So some unpleasantness was going around the past few days, but its better now (I think). Frustration will build up sometimes when two people live together - especially when its only 2 people, because there's no third or fourth party to buffer the occasional grudge you hold with the other party, and no one else to turn to complain, something we both need from time to time. But it was nice to hear so many concerned voices when such entries come up on my blog, haha. Its a process of growing up I guess, and anyway its nearly holiday time!

I'm so looking forward to Austria. That and the fact that I have completed 2 presentations this week. YES. 2 down, 3 to go (yeah alot, I know! there's one crazy module with 2 presentations, hence the ghastly load)! And its gonna be travelling time soon, and tomorrow's lesson will be only sitting in and watching a presentation. No need to think. Excellent end to the first half of my term in Bern.

- Anyway I'm eating some bio yoghurt now, and it doesn't taste half as good as the Migros (a supermarket in Switz) house brand. Which is cheaper somemore. -_-" -

And back to Austria: one major factor why I'm so excited to go Austria is because it will be much cheaper comparatively. I'm sure many of you have heard of my complaints over msn or email about how friggin' expensive it is here, which is the reason why I have to cook all my meals. Bah. I will be able to eat out without having a mini heart attack everytime I see the prices on the menus. I sincerely wish Austria will be like that, and I can perhaps stretch my Euro abit more.

I'm feeling really broke right now, what with withdrawing the money for the trip and the stupid CHF-SGD exchange rate escalating like nobody's business. I am definitely feeling the pinch everytime I have to part with some money to buy stuff, and right now I'm only buying groceries. How sucky is that? But don't worry, I'm not starving myself, just wish that I can have the luxury to eat out everyday like in Singapore.

Wow this is turning out to be a bitching session on the sky-high prices in Switzerland, I think I should stop before it gets repetitive. And my skin is still hideously dry even though I'm applying moisturizer, Gerald. And xiaoqian your emails today were really funny. LOL.
