We found a lot of travel guides abt Netherlands, Germany n Prague in the library.. abt 8 of them (we thot that its like Singapore libraries.. where we can borrow only 4 books per person) when we reached the automated borrowing counter, i borrowed 4 books then decided to play a game of "How High Can I Go" .. so tried to borrow the remaining 4 books.. n i managed to do it!!.. hahah n LL was suggesting to bring more so that we can test out the limit but enuff liao.. hehhe.. now i only worried abt the books being lost.. haha.. LL Dont LOSE the books hor!!.. its all in my name..

The cool thing abt Swedish libraries even for KTH Bibliotek is that one can borrow a book for 4 weeks n could extend it for as long as we want if no one requests for the book.. so theoretically one could borrow the book indefinitely...

After this short outing to the library.. we went for our make-up Swedish lesson..
The teacher for this Swedish lesson is good.. too good for me already.. His class is quite good in Swedish.. For the first 40 minutes, he just kept on rambling in Swedish with almost no English.. He asked each student in turn How's the weather, When is their bdae, What is the date today n other stuff etc.. for 40 minutes straight.. i was beginning to worry if i entered the correct classroom.. whether i m in Advanced Beginner Class when i m only supposed to come for Basic Swedish.. n the main thing that worries me is that most of the students seem to be able to understand n reply him with ease.. wah!!..

Luckily he didnt pose difficult questions to the 3 of us who r attending as a make up.. Me, LL n a SPanish guy, Antonio..

Compared to our teacher Berit, she pampers us a lot.. She does not tok in Swedish for 40 min straight n often mixes some English to better explain stuff.. she gives us notes for the Swedish lessons.. very nice lady.. haha but i dont tink we learn as much in her class as this make up class...

We r supposed to go for a field trip with the Swedish Culture class to Nobel Museum so have to skip the class on Wednesday n take this make up on Monday..

But after 40 minutes, the pace of the class seems much better.. at least he speaks some English to explain some Swedish terms.. n he did something on the textbooks that we did b4 in Berit's class..

During the break in the Swedish Class..
LL n I tried this white chocolate with strawberry flavor from teh vending machine.. quite nice..
