went to Ikea in Malmo yesterday and had swesih meatballs fix! the meatball meal has 15 meatballs, 1 salad, 1 soft drink, 1 coffee. all for 49 crowns! (about 12sgd). which is about fine. felt to full yesterday. =)

its been meeting people after people after people these few days! been quite tiring getting out of me comfort zone, but all's been great so far! =)
Went to the International Church of Lund today. V small affair. like 20 people max. but was good. reminded me of church back home cos it's run by a methodist pastor! had call to worship.. hymns.. prayer.. sermon.. pretty much like things back home!

so was good.. met some NUS students who are from BP churches back home, so was good to have familiar looking faces in the service. cool thing is that they have coffee and cookies after the service! and everyone fellowships there. we should do that back home man....

the service was run at the attic of a 3 storey building.. then the coffee was on the 2nd floor. pretty cool stuff. =) I should be joining their bible study time fridays 7pm! (msg is quite short, 20mins only!)

miss the people back home! very windy today. almost got blown away =

Finally in Lund! Reached yesterday but was just so tired to do anything. in fact is close to 2am today already! but decided to blog a bit.

1. It's cold (4-8 deg C)
2. It's windy
3. It's rainy

Quite a potent mix down here in the south of Sweden. so thanks for all the winter clothes people! need every single bit of it. I got Sparta hostel, which is like one of the cheapest ones you can find around here, so quite happy. I'm not too picky so common kitchen and common toilets are fine.

Everything is expensive here! Soups or Sandwiches will cost 8 - 10 SGD. urgh. But today was good! went to a fren's hostel (which looks like a studio apartment) and helped cooked up a feast for 9 people! Went home happy and satisfied after Teriyaki Chicken, Bak Kut Teh, PanFried Potatoes, Rice, and Beer! =)

Pics above are some shots of my room! its so cold here, i dont really want to take out my camera n take photos! n its tough pressing the button with gloves on. oh well. =) will try to post some nicer scenry ones soon.

time to sleep! update more tml!
