Choy-My 1st time in BLOG.. excited & scared

Haha.. never write a blog before.. dun know how to make it interesting and fun.. i dun wanna talk about the unhappy times that i am getting here in sweden, so, i will just tell you guys some interesting stuffs that is here.. found them interesting..

1. Their uni education is free.. and ours cost like $6000 after subsidy.. and the best thing is.... they are paid if they go to school.. every month abt $800... (crazy government.. i mean, provide free education, still give $$ out... no wonder the government getting poorer each day...)

2. The lifts have no door close button... guess only Singaporeans are so eager and rush of time to close the doors and move on...

3. They actually have a mobile plan that pays you abt singapore 10cents for every call you receive... (aiyo.. think of this, if you put a free ad on the newspaper that gives a really good deal like a new car for $10000.. and think of the number of calls you will get.. ($_$) Money!!)

4. Most shops do not give you plastic bags to contain your goods after you bought them.. the plastic bags are not free.. you have to pay for them,. and it's not cheap.. cost like $0.50 for each one.. and they are just like the kinds where you get from NTUC...

5. A normal meal in school canteen costs abt $12.50!! and the swedish students think it's cheap.. (siao... think they will get a damn good life if they go to other countries.. especially thailand.. maybe to them, spending in Thailand is by cents...)

6. Ok, their currency is in ores and kroners. Equilvalent to our cents and dollars. Then, you see many items selling for $17.90, $5.90 etc... and it's bluff pple one... cos their smallest denomination in coins is 50 ores.. so, they can't give you back the change in $0.10. which means, the items actual price is $18, $6... ( i mean,.. what's the point right..? just put $18 lah... or, the government should consider producing 10 ores at least?)

7. Their bottled drinks.. are priced at $5 + $0.50.. which is $5.50.. and the $0.50 is for the plastic bottle where you can get the $0.50 back if you bring back the bottle to the shop... (maybe can start to be a garbage girl to pick up empty bottles to earn a living..)

Ok.. enough.. hope i dun bore you.. hmm... can keep this active..? and add entries and check out others entries often..(like mine)... i really love to know the on-goings in your lives too...
