my st gallen life

i realised that lazy me haven't blogged much about my life at st gallen, so here's a pic of my apartment. I have 4 other apartment mates and we're not exactly very close. More social talk than anything else. I hate it when they don't clean up the kitchen after they eat and makes the whole apartment smell of food. i barely do much here now except hide in my room to do work or sleep. Other than that, I'm with the rest at zhimin's and ian's apartment... doing our work, chilling and cooking over there. It seems to be the girls' hideout in general.


As for food, the group of us have been cooking everyday. soup, congee, pastas, rosti, variations of potatos. i made shephard's pie and panfried ham and cheese sandwich the other day! In general, the girls and more hardworking than zhimin and i. we have simple quick fix meals... we can make a meal in half hour if need be! :) Anyway, just some pics of our earlier products. I know it doesn't look that appetizing but it satisfies me :)
p.s. did you know that bratwurst sausages originated from St. Gallen? :P

Anyway, i have about 8 weeks more here and i haven't been using my secret stash of food much. haha. I still have so much local food left! so i'll be busying trying to clear all my instant noodles and instant rice and sardines and bakuteh packets the next couple of weeks!

uob mini card hoo ha

I was skyping with my parents the other day and my mum told me that she has just received my UOB mini card bill and that i had a bill of about 500 francs.

i was thinking "what?!! i haven't even used my mini card to buy anything! and why would i be crazy enough to buy something so ex?"

the only time i tried to buy something with my mini card was 10Euros of skype credits. which i accidentally billed it to zhimin cuz for some wierdo reason, i was holding his card and he was holding mine! (don't ask us how that happened) And he kept teasing me about it and insists that he should tax me on it.

(wait a minute... exchange of cards...500franc on a mini card.. sounds tooooo familiar)
"Mum, is it 545francs in Zurich?"
She gave me a positive answer.

(!!!!!) Mr Leong Zhi Min used MY card to buy his CHF 545 Tissot Watch! *growls*
shouldn't it be HIS job to buy me a 500 dollar watch?

Obviously, my parents response to this was along the lines of "how can you be so careless" etc etc., and it ended with "why my daughter so stupid one, seem to get the worse end of the bargain".


sigh.
