Then in the evening, Peishi and I went to the movies with our Austrian friends, Christian, Michael and Gregor. The show was Ja, Ty i On which was what we know as You, me and Dupree except that Ja, Ty i On literally meant "I, You and Him" in polish. Anyway, the American films here are screened its original language with polish subtitles. A ticket on Sunday with student discount (or "bilet" in polish) costs 16 zlotys. The Austrians told us that an average movie ticket in Vienna cost 19 Euros! That’s 38 SGD for one ticket! Imagine if the movie turned out to be lousy.
Monday was my first day of school. It was alright, although the first lesson at 8am (which i had to drag myself out of bed for) was cancelled when i got there. It will only start next week, so everyone could leave. Thank god my dorm was only 3 mins away! As for Financial engineering, i dozed off even though i was sitting in the front row! I really can't help it man, the conditions in class were way too conducive for sleeping. It seems the profs here don't really have a habit of turning on the lights in the day or even evening until it really gets dark. Just when i tried to psych myself up for the next consecutive finance, thinking it can't possibly get any worse, only to realise the same archaic prof was taking the class too.
We also cooked in the afternoon. See my masterpiece in the foreground!
After TWO unbearable classes, i had to EAT. Went to meet Peishi, Jin and the Americans for dinner. It was a pretty cool restaurant where the waitering staff wear traditional clothes, and mondays are when you'd get food and beer at discounted prices. We had Sznycel, their house specialty, it's basically breaded pork chop; but its huge! probably the size of a face towel or bigger, and will put the Shihlin XXXL Ji1 Pa2 to shame. If you try this, you have to share it with someone else. Jin almost died trying to eat the whole thing, plus they served him the largest slab.
Sznycel. Not a very justifiable pic of it's. But heres what it looks like.
Jin, me, Peishi, Katrina, Elizabeth (Jipo and Kang, her appetite is wayyy bigger than you two - combined)
Yesterday, we did a typical homecooked Singaporean meal for Jin, and he cooked his Korean ramen for us. It's DAMN nice. It's basically just korean instant noodles, but he added egg and those really spicy green chilli in and it was so shiok. During dinner, Jin told us about his army days in Korea, like how they were given only one roll of toilet paper to use for 4 months. So everytime when they need to go use the toilet, they can only tear two pieces. And one piece after meals to wipe the mouth. Whatttt, like that where got enough?
Stay tuned for pictures of the homecooked meal..
