1 Swede, 1 Singaporean.
Both our worlds collided in 2004, and merged in 2009.
Our base is now Sweden, and our centre always Him.
Propelling towards an insanely exciting future!
Just came back from Swedish class, and am munching on pizza leftovers (Emil makes a mean homemade pizza, so am not complaining. Anything tastes good with tabasco sauce anyway ;)).
So marks the end of my first week at SFI (Swedish For Immigrants) at Komvux (there's no class tomorrow as the teacher has got some kinda 'education competition'. Ingen problem med mig!). It actually went a lot better than I expected it to. I think it's cos it's a daily morning class, for people that aren't working and studying at the same time, and hence have more time and energy and drive to learn, as opposed to many others who attend evening classes twice a week after work.
It's quite an interesting experience to learn a language from scratch actually, going through the alphabet and numbers, getting the pronounciation right (å, ä, ö). I will be very happy when I can pronounce 'sju' (the number 7 in Swedish) properly. At the moment, it's coming out as 'phew' :P Not sure if it's cos my tongue's not used to rolling in the Swedish way (like how many caucasians find it hard to grasp the 4 tones in Mandarin), but well, I gotta find a way to make myself understood in Swedish :P
For now, I'm just going to use Emil as my sounding board everyday, and count in the shower...
