getting the christmas mood on

so the christmas lights came on. it was only yst that I realized why christmas is always associated with the christmas lights as i walked down george square. Never did it occur to me that the sun sets really early in the summer and upon dark, everywhere would look gloomy. But then one day, some guy thought to himself, what better way to get everyone into the festive mood than to put lights arounds around, symbolizing the christmas! and volia!

and i'm really looking forward to george square being transformed into an ice skating ring! think this would be a nice christmas here in europe, finally having the real christmas jolly mood around.

Glasgow Christmas Lights Switch ON festival

so there i was coming out from the university gym wanting to have a peak at the festival where they turn on the christmas lights on. but to my dismay, all roads leading to george square was blocked till the top of the hill where the school sits on. :o guess its time to just go back for dinner disappointed that i didnt manage to catch a christmas event. at least there'll be a skating ring at george square (: on the lighter note, i managed to see the fireworks from behind my flat!

so this is where the christmas festive season begins i guess. looking forward to it!

Its been about a month since I started my exchange studies in Strathclyde University.

I'm really glad that I went for exchange because within this short time, I've learnt so much more things than i would if stuck back home. Though i might not have gotten the best flat facilities here, my flat mates more than makes up for it. Even after a month of living together, there never seems to be a lack of cultural exchanges.

The lifestyle here is so much different compared to in Singapore. Here, they encourage a balance of study and play over the concept of just acquiring academic knowledge. I wouldn't have dreamed of living the lifestyle im currently in back home, to the point of feeling guilty of having 7hrs of sleep every schoolday. and yes, the concept of level asian do exist. although i've mapped similar modules, the syllabus here is so much lesser compared to the ones back in NTU.

The highlight of every week is of course the weekend getaway to another town,city,country. and again i cannot express how happy i am for this! okay i'm getting abit sian of blogging. till next time!
