Guess what I did today.

I impulse-bought a ticket to Singapore. I saw it, and I noticed that the flight's in 5 days, and I was like hmm-click-bought.

So I guess I'm going! My fingers have decided the answer to my few month long internal debate of "should I or shouldn't I".

Wonder if I'm going to get any schoolwork done, Swedish spoken, Spanish learnt, driving theory studied, or salsa danced. Highly unlikely.

so i haven't been doing much lately, besides dancing. haven't been clubbing and all that, and quite frankly i don't even want to club anymore. i hate the clubs here and the music they play.

had my 6th salsa lesson tonight, which means there's only one left for this course. i took a one hour class in bachata last week. loved it, it's so sensual. anyway so right now i'm taking LA salsa, but i think i'm more interested in learning cuban.

there's a 2-day cuban salsa workshop on the 7th and 8th of june, which i'm gonna go for. i think it's totally worth the 300 kronor. if anyone else is interested, it's at Flamingo Crossing here in Linköping. everything's on the website anyway, www.dansarna.se.

other than that, there are drop-in courses at l'orient every monday at 7pm, after which is social dancing till midnight. god i feel like a marketeer, but i mean the more the merrier right? :)

on a completely different note, my 15 page report on sustainable tourism in Sentosa (that we had 2 months to do) is due in 10 days. why am i not feeling any sense of urgency to get crackin then i wonder... oh well, det kommer lösa sig i guess. i hope.

[ Blast from the Past ]

I've been reliving my childhood recently, by watching old Disney classics. (Reliving childhood, in denial, same difference).

So far I've watched Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, and Sleeping Beauty just last night. Love it.

I also just downloaded Labyrinth with David Bowie, though when I looked through it to make sure it was okay, the creatures suddenly weren't as impressive as they were back then. Stupid advanced technology these days, making everything from back in the day look crappy.

So I burst into tears last night watching The Office UK Christmas Special (I know right!!). And like really sobbing and shit too. The scene was so sweet, and the music that was playing in the background was Yazoo's Only You which I hadn't heard in yeeears. They couldn't have picked a better song for the scene. Anyway needless to say, I've had the song on repeat since last night. :)

NEVER EVER AGAIN AM I GOING THERE. and this time i'm serious. the music was bad (i'm not really a big fan of "dooks dooks dooks" crap), it was crowded with pushy students (ugh!) and the cover charge was not student price at all. var där typ 45 minuter eller något, after which i went to Sliver. OH GOD DET VAR INTE MYCKET BÄTTRE DÄR HELLER. jag drog därifrån after like an hour. urghhh.

the only good thing was seeing my friends. :)

which would make it my first pass of the programme.

yay!

oh we're done with the 3 semiariums now. the last text was in english, and we did the uppgift in english too... i think we were the only group who did. but i loved it coz i got to write it! it was SUPER easy for me. finally i don't feel so useless haha.

anyway tonight is the julsittning (xmas dinner thingy) with the class.

and i finally have something to wear! and shoes too!

i got em last night... stolen from lynette's closet of course. ;)

what are the odds that my bestest bitch in sweden has exactly the same clothes and shoe size as i do right? love it!

but other than that i've written down what i need to - all 4 pages of it.

i'm think i can safely say that i now know everything there is to know about Cristo Redentor (the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro) from a touristic perspective.

btw, citing sources isn't the most fun thing to do.

after that went to platå. no queue, free entry, half price on drinks... that was pretty great too. a bunch of other classmates came after a while. and then it just gets blurry from there. haha. i guess that means i had fun. though the music kinda sucked, but i was with good company. :)

this insomnia thing is starting to get reeeally old. i'm in desperate need of fixing. SOMEBODY FIX ME!

on another note, malin and i have a language-swap date today. she's gonna speak only english to me the whole day, and i'm gonna try (and most probably fail) to speak NOTHING but swedish to her. this would probably be a lot easier if i wasn't so damn stubborn and didn't love my language so much. oh well, i'm just glad we didn't bet on who'd last longer.

This situation is extremely relevant to tourism as it well describes the problem of many destination marketing organizations (DMOs), which are often part or fully funded by government or even a part of the formal structure of the state, i.e. a government agency, and their role in trying to bring together other public agencies, tourism producers and even destination communities in common causes with respect to destination marketing and/or development.

Too lazy to translate 4 and 5, so you'll just have to have it in Swedish.

5 ENKLA SÄTT ATT ÖKA DIN MENTALA STYRKA

4. VÄNTA INTE PÅ INSPIRATION

- Vi väntar ofta på att få inspiration innan vi sätter igång. Säljare sitter ibland halva morgonen och surfar och dricker kaffe innan de kommer igång. Men uttrycket "motion creates emotion" avslöjar att det är genom att börja oavsett inre motstånd som för att känslan sen kommer. Har du sagt att du ska föra någonting - stå för det och för det oavsett hur det känns. Varje gång du för det du sagt du ska föra så öka ditt förtroende för dig själv och ditt ord och därmed också din mentala styrka.

5. HITTA FÖRDELAR

- Det går att hitta en mening med allt som sker. "Vad finns det för positivt med det här?" är ett sätt att hitta de positiva aspekterna i allt som händer. Vad som än händer idag så se det som träning i att hitta dolda fördelar även i det som andra upplever som odelat negativt. Detta skulle kunna kallas för "blessing in disguise" då du går på upptäcksfärd i att hitta bra saker med alla möten, både dem som stärkt dig och dem som tryckt ned dig.

5 ENKLA SÄTT ATT ÖKA DIN MENTALA STYRKA

3. BÖRJA MED DET DU KAN OCH ÖKA SVÅRIGHETSGRADEN

- Min mellanstadielärare tipsade ofta om att börja skrivningarna med att svara på de frågor jag är säkrast på först. "Genom att klara dem så växer du och kan sen ge dig på de svårare frågorna." Gör likadant när du har en tuff dag framför dig. Istället för att bli handlingsförlamad, ge dig på nåt enkelt så att du kommer igång - sen kommer självförtroendet att öka och du kan ge dig på de tuffare uppgifterna.

5 EASY WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR MENTAL STRENGTH

3. START WITH WHAT YOU CAN, THEN INCREASE THE DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY

- My school teacher often told me to start the written work by answering the questions I was the surest of first. "By doing that, you grow and can then move on to the more difficult questions." Do the same when you have a tough day ahead of you. Instead of feeling helpless, give yourself something easy to get you started - after which will come the confidence to grow, and you can overcome the tougher tasks.

5 ENKLA SÄTT ATT ÖKA DIN MENTALA STYRKA

2. PÅMINN DIG OM ALLT DU TIDIGARE LYCKATS MED
- Tänk tillbaka på alla tidigare utmaningar du haft i ditt liv och som du klarat av. Just när du upplevde dem kanske du kände att du aldrig skulle klara det, men två år senare hade du klarat både det och mycket mer. Hämta hem trevliga minnen av tidigare segrar och koppla dem till nuet.

5 EASY WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR MENTAL STRENGTH

2. REMIND YOURSELF OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER MANAGED TO DO
- Think back to all previous challenges you've had in your life which you've overcome. When you were going through it, maybe you felt like you could never do it, but two years later, you overcame that and much more. Think of pleasant memories of previous victories and link them to the present.

[ day one ]

i made it through my first day as an undergrad. i had to pay close attention to the teachers, so that i could understand what they were saying (coz my swedish isn't the best). i was hell nervous. but i guess being in a new environment where you don't speak the same language (or rather, refuse to) and only understand 65% of what the teachers are saying, and have to play 'fill-in-the-blanks' with the other 35%, does that to a person.

after upprop we had about an hour of what's what, after which we were led to some grassy area by the faddrar (student union big brother type thing). they gave out t-shirts that according to them we have to wear at ALL times for the next 2 weeks, even when we go to the movies or whatever. it has the course name on the back so we have to be proud of it, and the front says nolle-p, which means i'm freshman in the zero (loser) period. oh and we're not allowed to wash them ever, they're SUPPOSED to get dirty.

aaaanyway, and then it was the orientation 'getting to know each other' games. i was blur la at first, but when i realised the games had started, i excused myself. i think i was the only one who left. oh well, i'm not a big fan of getting to know people anyway.

so... day 1 down. only another 3 years to go. wish me luck.

A friend gave me a piece of paper on mental strength training. I thought it approriate to blog about, at this particular juncture in (of?) my life. First day of uni today, new school, new people, lots of Swedish to be spoken and understood (God help me!). Ok so I'll be blogging about this over 5 different posts (only because I'm too lazy to type out all 5 in Swedish AND English at one go), starting with number one.

5 ENKLA SÄTT ATT ÖKA DIN MENTALA STYRKA

1. ANTA NYA UTMANINGAR

- Problem kan ses som sätt att växa. Utan problem, hinder och utmaningar kan vi inte växa som vi vill, så träna på att se fram emot utmaningar eftersom det kommer att göra dig mentalt starkare. Önska inte att saker blir enklare - önska att du blir ännu bättre. Hoppas inte att du ska få en lätt dag - hoppas att du stöter på något som får dig att utvecklas som människa. Det här kan också kallas för störningsträning, där du medvetet utsätter dig för störningar som ett sätt att bibehålla fokus och inre lugn.

5 EASY WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR MENTAL STRENGTH

1. ACCEPT NEW CHALLENGES

- Problems can be seen as a way to grow. Without problems, obstacles and challenges, we can't grow as we want, so train yourself to look forward to challenges because that'll make you mentally stronger. Don't want things to be easier - want to improve yourself. Don't hope that you'll get an easy day - hope that you come across something that lets you evolve as a human being. This can also be called interference training, where you deliberately expose yourself to interference as a way to maintain focus and inner calm.

[ 2Pac - Dear Mama ]

(verse 3)

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce,

Cause through the drama I can always depend on my mama

And when it seems that I'm hopeless
You say the words that can get me back in focus

When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me

And even though I act craaazy
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
There are no words that can express how I feel
You never kept a secret, always stayed real
And I appreciate, how you raised me
And all the extra love that you gave me

I wish I could take the pain away
If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day
Everything will be alright if ya hold on
It's a struggle everyday, gotta roll on

And there's no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated

[ my summer so far ]

well i'm back home, after a month in singapore.

it was good seeing my family and friends again.

i didn't party as much this time round, instead i spent most of my nights at coffeeshops at simpang and around my place and everywhere else, stuffing my face with as much local food as possible.

OH and mum's curry devil! i had it twice - when i first arrived, and when i was leaving. the first one was like oh-my-goodness-spicy... talk about cerek berbereks man!!

anyway i went to some bike event at zouk with iron chariots mc. it was the launch of the new triumph rocket 3 or something. not a great turnout, but the freeflow of beer was awesome. and the company of course.

i went to bali with johan for 4 days. i got so sick, high fever and all, so i couldn't swim or shop as much as i wanted. it was still fun nonetheless. oh and our hotel (bali hyatt) was so nice, old as it may have been.

i met this eurasian girl at chevy's. her name was jill kimberly. what are the odds right!

after chevy's i went to arena with my favourite people. i enjoyed my last night out, even though the bouncer made me cry.

dad bought me an iphone. so yes, i'm one of them now, despite my badmouthing apple not but a few months ago. don't get me wrong, i still hate everything apple. but i love my iphone! it's different. :)

aaaand for the grand finale...

I saw this a while ago. It's a campaign against domestic violence.

While you scream at your woman, there's a man wishing he could talk softly in her ear.
While you humiliate, offend and insult her, there's a man reminding her how wonderful she is.
While you hurt your woman, there's a man wishing he could make love to her.
While you make your woman cry, there's a man stealing smiles from her.

I think it's pretty spot on. Of course the same goes for guys too, but very, very rarely. Because it's not very often women make their men cry.

Oh and here's another one.

No man (or woman) is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

Think about it.

All (most? nah, i'm sticking with 'all') women need love, affection and validation. No matter how sure of herself she is (or seems). Because in the end, we are the weaker sex (get real, all you 'i am woman, hear me roar' feminists. We ARE the weaker sex, whether you admit it or not).

7 civil engineers-to-be have worked with the robot, Wall-Y, since the start of the spring term.

"The objective was to construct a robot that can orientate itself with help from the walls, and that can perform certain tasks with its hands. We have solved that and it feels good" says the project leader Johan Larsson.

If the reader thinks that Wall-y's appearance has some similarities to movie company, Pixlar's computer animated robot, Wall-E, they're right.

"Absolutely. We were inspired by it, but we got the 'Y' in the name from the course, which is called Electronic Project Y."

[ my new dress ]

klänningen som jag beställde från ellos har äntligen kommit!
den är så otroligt fin, mycket vackrare IRL.
jag köpte den i storlek 34/36 (den jag brukar ha), men den är lite för stor. kanske behövde jag 32, men det fanns tyvärr inte.
oh well, hoppas min skräddare kan alter den när jag är i singapore på sommaren.

the dress i ordered from ellos has finally come!
it's so unbelievably pretty, much nicer in real life.
i bought size 34/36 (which i usually wear), but it's a bit too big at the stomach part (upper abdomen? well i don't know what it's called but it's where your solar plexus is.)
maybe i needed a 32, but unfortunately there wasn't any.
oh well, hope my tailor can alter it when i'm in singapore this summer.

Mama, I found someone
Like you said would come along
He's a sight, so unlike
Any man I've known
I was afraid to let him in
'Cause I'm not the trustin kind
But now I'm convinced
That he's heaven sent
And must be out of his mind

And, Mama, you've always said,
"Better look before you leap"
Maybe so, but here I go
Lettin' my heart lead me
He thinks I hung the moon and stars
I think he's a livin' dream
Well, there are men
But ones like him
Are few and far between

Mama, he's crazy
Crazy over me
And in my life, is where he says
He always wants to be
I've never been so loved
He beats all I've ever seen
Mama, he's crazy
He's crazy over me

johan and i went to ikea yesterday and bought the bed frame we've (i've?) had our eyes on for the past coupla months... finally!
we (he) set it up late into last night, and once it was done i hit my right knee, then my left, then stubbed my toe on the edge - all within the span of 10 minutes. hopefully i'll get used to it being there soon enough. but in the meantime i guess i'll just have to take them as they come. i love my bed so much, i just don't care. bring on the bruises bitch! (ours looks nicer than this pic stolen off ikea's website, but you get the picture.)

washing machine/dryer ✔
bathroom sink and cabinet ✔
computer desk ✔
dishwasher ✔
bookshelf ✔
bed frame ✔
next stop... an L-shaped sofa!

oh my goodness how i've changed. it wasn't too long ago i'd have a checklist of the clubs i'd gone to or the different types of alcohol i'd tried. now i'm a.... home person. now i'm..... OLD. sigh.

As of today, I'm a Swedish PR.

The picture in my passport is fu-u-ugly with a capital UGLY, but you're missing the point. I'm now a permanent resident. :))
