Mt Kinabalu; the top
Yeeeej, we made it!!!!!!!!!!!
Mt Kinabalu; the night
Damn, we were so cold when we reached the accomodation. Lots of coffee and tea that night. Being exhausted from the climbing during the day and knowing that we had to get up 2 am to continue, we went to bed really early.
The sunset was amazing.
Still very cold when we got in bed...
Mt Kinabalu; day 1
We got a flat tyre on our way to the mountain, had to wait for half an hour, so we took the opportunity to hug, eat some breakfast and enjoy the beautiful view.
Some pics from the first six hours of climbing. 6km of very steep steps, you could so feel it in the legs, and because of the altitude, the air was very thin, so we had to stop every now and then to catch our breath (and eat tons of chocolate and nuts).
Borneo; day one cont.
After booking the accomodation on Mt Kinabalu, the girlteam took off to an really beautiful island, once again the boatride was the best part! Someone loves boates here :) The guys went to the Zoo instead, but me and Annelie got enough of trapped animals when in KL.
We had some delicious satay for dinner, and the day ended with my best massage ever. One and a half hour of wonderfulness...

Kota Kinabalu
Some pics from the town we stayed in, the first two days...
Back in Singapore
And possibly more exausted than ever before! We climbed the highest montain in south east Asia yesterday! Mount Kinabalu, 4095m above sea... I honestly can´t walk today, my legs are so sore. When I try, I look like a penguin because I can´t bend my knees. Pain!!!!!
Borneo was absolutely amazing though, have a lot of pics to show... But I must warn you, we look like fifteen year olds on a schooltrip on the mountain climbing pictures :)
Loading pics seems to take forever tonite, so you will have to wait some more for the ones were we actually are ON Borneo.

"This is a re-search laboratory. Re-search means look again, don´t it? Means they are looking for something they found once and it got away somehow, and now they got to re-search for it!"
Haha, laughed so hard that I cried when reading it...

Today, in pics
A day of hard studying and sleeping. Woke up after a good ten hour sleep...
On my way to the school, had a nice little break in the sunny weather. So what, that it is a 10 minute walk, a break is always nice, indeed!
Coffe and icecream, in order to stay alert :)
And, not to end up like the guys next to me...
Came home from school, only to fall asleep again, in all my pp-slides. Slept for almost two hours. Zzzzz
Woke up to have a nice evening snack with my darlings, Annelie and Sara...
Annelie found a ugly hairthingy on the ground, kicked it around for i bit, before she realized that it would look soooo pretty in my dirty hair :)
Over and out! Goodnight everybody, I´m going back to sleep again...

Update...
Time for a "small" update again...
♥ First of all, I´ve bought a new computer, it is so cute and tiny and I just LOVE it. Now I´m able to bring my computer anytime, anywhere, anyplace. And that I will! I hereby proudly present my new best buddy, the Acer Aspire One:
♥ I found some music on a file on my computer, some really nice music indeed. Super excited about that since I´ve been a bit bored with the music I have, and it´s not possible to download any new down here. Found 25 songs, and twenty of them are songs that I love and have been missing alot! Happy time!!!!!
♥ We had a presentation this Friday. Went good and now we have no more lessons in that course, Happy time again!
♥ And, we had our last lesson in fincial management, finally! They´ve been boring me to death...
♥ I´ve had my first job down here for the agency. It was a contact lense trial, and stupid me signed that, of course I know how to use contact lenses. I´m lucky though, Sara is such a cutie and had a lesson with me before the job. Only problem was that her lenses were really strong so I could really not see a thing in them. Was worse than drinking too much wine :)
The job was alot of fun, tried out 20 lenses in different colors. Loved the really blue and brown ones! Unfortunalety the trial was confidental, so I was not allowed to take any photos...
Haha, could really not see a thing, or walk straight!
♥ Because of all the study we needed to do this weekend (group projects and studying for a quiz on Tuesday), me and Annelie made the very mature decision to stay home from the crazy party this Friday. Instead we went to the gym and had a really nice workout. Watched a movie with Pontus after that, and ate a whole lot of chocolate and chips, well deserved if you ask me...
♥ Saturday night was supposed to be a "white" night as well. But me, Annelie and Pontus decided that drinking some wine was a nice idea for the evening. One glass led to another and the evening ended up being not white at all. But we had a really fun night, and Nate stopped by for a chat.
Yeah, we´re in our sweatpants, without make-up, fancy time!
What´s happening back in Sweden? Tell me? I think that it´sa bit very boring that you, my beloved readers are so lousy at leaving comments! So come on, write something nice to light up my day...
Lots and lots of love ♥♥♥

A campus tour...
Yesterday was the 24th of October, which means that in only one month, we will be finished with our studies here at Nanyang University. Time really flies! I´m really loving every single day here, so I´m not really looking forward to pack all my belongings and leave this beautiful garden campus. Even though I miss everyone at home alot... Mixed feelings indeed.
Barbie´s car? The pink VW-Beetle
I think that I´ve found the car of my life ♥
Too cute to be true...
Me and Annelie wants to drive it back to Sweden, that would be one hell of a roadtrip!!!
Sushi making course and Staffis
We had a lot of fun making the sushi last night. The best part was of course the eating, which took place at Staff club. Sushi making was actually not that hard, me and Annelie will probaly make a lot of sushi when we´re back in Luleå.
Today is a sad day, Max left early this morning and campus feels very empty without him...
Sushi making course tonight, YUM!
Halloween party @ Singapore
And a lovely night it was!
A house party with ~ 750 exchange students, all wearing costumes.

Photoshop is the shit?!
Got the montage below from Pontus earlier today, damn he is so good at photoshop, I wanna learn too...
Tried to play a bit with some photos myself, time consuming and hard on the patience indeed...
Late night at the museum
Me and Annelie paid the National museum of Singapore a visit, on a Friday night, yeah!
Halloweenparty tonight
Update...
♥ We have had our best lecture so far this week, a guest speeker named Sasha. He had a bunch of interesting real life stories to tell. I actually listened to every single word he said, four hours without loosing interest, good job Sasha! The best part was how he ended the lesson; "Let the sun be with you". And it has actually...
♥ We went to Staff club the other night to buy tickets for the huge halloweenparty on Saturday, really looking forward to that...

♥ Our beloved IKEA got a visit from us this week, we needed to buy some costume supplies for the party. And while at IKEA you might as well eat until you roll down the stairs, and so I did...
YUM! Salmon, cooked potatoes and creamy sauce ;)
On-the-go
