Just landed in holland and found out that the bloody school made a bad blunder in the booking of our accomodation. Instead of what was stated in the email as started from 1st feb, it was apparently 7th feb so my friend shoong hong and me and no room for the next week! We then had 2 choices, to stay with our new found friends from the airplane to holland, who happen to be going to TU/e for exchange too, or to go to a budget hotel (cheapest = Euros 140/week) to stay. In the end, we decided to go with the first as the rooms seems big enough to accomodate 2 (I hope.. haha) and also it saves us A LOT. haha. Oh, and that not all, NOT all the rooms have internet! we are supposed to settle in to the rooms and THEN make arrangements for internet connections, which could take weeks! like WTH. Luckly, student are more flexible and resourceful and we found that most rooms have internet access from past tenants. heh, good for me too.
So now i have a room (half actually) and internet access. yea! OH, It was also so cold (abt 10 degrees with rain and wind) that i kinda fell sick! yah, how unlucky can one get for a first day right? But i guess its not totally from the weather cos' i was having a flu/cold in singapore before i left so that's probably the source. Anyhow, so lucky that my new-found-friend/roomie (daniel) had almost everything and provided me with a sleeping bag and also lent me his blanket! Daniel DA-man, haha. That's why i was able to sleep soundly to recover enough to type this blog man.
Also, the bloody hostel/apartment is quite far from the school. Or so it seems as we walked tell our feetsare sore and we're still not there yet! And top it off, the people there says its near! siao!Alright then, hope today's better day!
