Image Processing tutorial n Asian BBQ!!

There was a early Image Processing tutorial at 10am... i chose a pretty nice spot when i reached the classroom.. one with a very big window looking out to a nice tree n a nice sky..

a perfect place to daydream n drift away if the lesson gets too boring.. haha
took some pictures of the class..

every classroom in KTH has four sliding whiteboards or blackboards.. so that the teacher need not erase everything to make space for his next writings.. pretty efficient.. n for those classrooms with a chalkboard.. there would be a cabinet for them to wash their hands of chalk when they r done.. but this classroom doesnt since no chalk is involved..

Me "hard" at work in the tutorial class...



This freaking course txtbk that i tok abt in my previous blog post costs 650kr (abt 160 Sing dollars) in the sch bookshop.. but when my gf checked out the prices of the same txtbk for me in Singapore.. it costs just 38 Sing dollars!! (abt 5 times cheaper!!) wah.. my gf will be shipping LL n my books over together with the library bks that the 4 of us so stupidly lost on our trip last Easter.. hopefully, we will be able to sell the txtbk after we have used it.. haha even if i sell it for 400 kr (100 Sing dollars) i will still make a profit of abt 40 dollars after factoring in the shipping costs.. :P

after the lesson, LL n I went to the student room, Elektro to have our lunch... we bought some cheap pizza from the fridge.. abt 19kr i tink.. remember my previous blog post abt this room?.. take a look here if u dont..Elektro

We heated up the pizzas at the kitchen microwave..

We were tempted to try another snack in the fridge so we paid n took it out to the heated b4 digging in... tastes pretty good

After this "sumptous" meal, we proceeded to the library where we used the computer there to pass time b4 going for the Asian BBQ at 4pm.. i was tinking why would anyone do a BBQ at 4pm.. i guess i m too used to BBQ-ing at nite in Singapore.. n BBQ in the open during a rather cold Spring.. well thats a first for me too..


It was a pretty unique experience.. Spring isnt getting any warmer.. the temperature range is around 7 degrees that day.. haha not really the appropriate temperature to BBQ outside.. it was freezing.. its ok to walk abt in this temperature but definitely not staying at one spot waiting for your food.. n the wind is terrible n strong...
THe food..

Each of us paid 40 kr (10 Sing dollars) for this BBQ.. it was a pretty alrite price considering how expensive meat is in Sweden.. i heard from Eric, one of the organisers, that they bought abt 800 kr of food.. thats a lot..
Some Korean ladies, there could be gers of other nationality inside this pic but i m not very sure..

The mostly SIngaporean clique..

basically we were sort of in our own cliques.. because there were 3 places available to BBQ food.. ours is a portable BBQ pit.. n the fire is not very strong.. so it took quite some time.. our group consists of mostly Singaporeans, Malaysian and some Chinese n Taiwanese.. so we spoke Mandarian most of the time.. one of the other clique where the fire is much stronger spoke mostly Japanese or Korean.. haha interesting..
THe Chinese speaking BBQ pit.. haha


THis is the first BBQ i have been where:
- i ate rice using a plastic cup.. Ian, one of the orgainsers, say to bring our own utensils for this BBQ.. i m too lazy to go to LL's corridor kitchen to get the utensils so we improvise by using our plastic cup to scoop up rice n eat by pouring it down our mouth as well as drink fruit punch n Coke with it..
- i see everyone gathering around the BBQ pit at all times instead of sitting n lazing around waiting for food... i guess in such a cold weather, its best to be near the fire..
- i felt so super cold.. with the cold wind blowing.. n my nose dripping n my hands close to the fire..
- we all encountered a drunk Swedish guy who tried to fool us by keep saying he was a student here.. n tried to take some of our food.. he tried to pay us a measly 3 kr but we rejected him.. he was pretty crazy, kept toking abt some nuclear holocaust.. we ignored him n some nice Japanese guy tried toking to him for most of the time until he left.. we heard that Jap guy even gave him some money... he chose the wrong BBQ to mix in.. this is an Asian BBQ n he doesnt look a bit Asian at all..

well.. after the BBQ, LL, dom n I went to SC's place where we watched Constantine.. a pretty confusing but interesting movie.. it feels as complicated as the Matrix to me.. i guess the reason why i tink of Matrix is becos Keanu Reeves is the main actor in Constantine as well.. by the time it ended, it was already near 12mn.. i took the bus back to my place n reached at around 1am..
