I finally did it!

I booked tickets to watch the 3rd round of the Qatar Total Open - held in Berlin, Germany on 10th May...

Today's my one-month anniversary in der Schweiz. Hahaha.. from the emo, slightly homesick feeling I had in the first week, to the 'I dun wanna leave Europe' feeling now.

In the past one month,
I have experienced snow, and now, Spring where all the pretty flowers bloom.
I am used to taking walks to school/town and basically, getting around.
I think that taking one hour train rides is pretty normal. And they do seem rather short.
I took my first ever night train alone.
I drank quite a bit in the one month i was here... (more than what I would drink in a month in Singapore anyway) - a beer here, a (beer+sprite) there, red wine, white wine. Falling in love with white wine though. So far, the ones I had were pretty good...
I got from getting shocked at the prices of stuff here.. for it to turn to acceptance - or cheaper shopping across the border.
I am now cooking more meals on my own.

Being independent, making decisions like where to go for the weekend, whether I should go on certain trips, should I buy some stuff, or even what to cook.

Taking care of myself, making sure I don't end up in shit, making sure I don't fall sick.

It's tiring.. but also exactly like how I envisioned it.. meeting different people with different experiences. Knowing that how like almost half of the people I met, especially Europeans are pursuing a Masters.

Now, 3 more months seem so short...
