It's officially 1 week here in Maastricht and I have only attended 1 lesson.

I read the coursework and boy! it's really tough here.

basically it's 25% presentation, 25% written and 50% examinations.

Ok the tricky thing about here is, you have to participate and prepare ur reading materials in advance.

i have so much reading to do. this semester is MAKE OR BREAK!

The textbooks here are so freaking expensive, like double the amount.
my HRM book cost 69euros which is like S$140. I really regretted not buying in Singapore b4 coming but then again my weight of my luggage will be affected. oh well.

my classmates are all dutch, germans.
the germans are the ones in the university who gets all the As.
my german classmates already asking abt the exam format on the 1st day!

Like singaporeans? :P some but NOT me.

some fotos I've been missing out in:

this is one of the square with the clock tower.

Maastricht is a really pretty town! I just got to know that the EU treaty happens here and was used as the entrance for the french attack in the history.

the architects are really very french-like and that explains why.

I love country side feeling rather than the normal bustling city life.

all of the buildings appear like this.
like walking on cobbled streets and small country lanes like these just make you feel nostalgic.
loving it...

one of the churches there

I am really lucky as the guys from singapore, derek and daryl really can cook!
even tejinder can cook!

i feel ashame but I will help them then learn along the way :P

almost close to my home cooked food!

looks good ah... every night they have been cooking. really good.

I have not started my shopping yet coz my account 3 weeks later then can get the money.
arGh! unlike singapore :P

However, I've been spending money on school like my new bag to bring to school, groceries and MORE GROCERIES! food and more food.

it's really quite worth it to me, only 55 euros! (=s$110) and I can put my laptop in! cool rite?

I love my laptop

it's a mac, a mac, a mac, a mac :p notice the flower beside? was given by my dearest friends so I can think of them :D

this is my work desk

Basically the booze here is cheap!
one bottle of wine is 1.69 to 3.79 euros! which like S$3.50 to 7.50.
we are talking about jacob's creek and many others.

I am thankful to meet my mentor naomi, shes dutch and my friend I know in NTU, Martjin.

Thank god, there's an asian supermart somewhere near the train station which is about 15-20min walk. Ohyes, I WALKED ALOT HERE and I dun realised it.

my school is like 20 to 30 min away. if the weather sucks then it's a drag!

but here's one beautiful scenery I took when we were walking to the asian supermart using my phone w580i and it's one of the neighbourhood.

isn't it beautiful?

I am going to brussels this weekend and hopefully it's breath taking!

I love Maastricht too it's just a stone throw away from belgium and germany.

lovveeeeeee it
