Last but not least....



We just can't get enough of Sweden, we love the hospitality of the Swedish who are always so friendly toward us and it will never be forgotten. I felt so comfortable in school and felt like part of their big family. It is a joy to go to school everyday and I look forward to see the students and teachers daily. I even helped the class to celebrate my CT, Jonny's birthday and they have so much fun eating the cake in class with their form teacher. 

Do you know that it is a tradition to bake your own cake at home for birthday instead of buying? Thus, the students are so elated being able to eat a cake bought from the cake shop!

Birthday Celebration with 4C


It is really amazing that we are able to forge such a strong bond with our CT within a short span of 5 weeks and they are always ready to lend a hand in helping us getting around Linkoping. My CT, Jonny even helped us to book train tickets for our weekend getaway. My CT even help out in a special event where he was trying to keep mum for more than 3 days.

Ta-dah! This is something amazing and personal that my CT is trying to keep from me which happened last Thursday with Ding Yi's help! He helped my boyfriend coordinated a proposal in the school where we are doing our teaching exchange, Nya Rydsskolan. It is really a big surprise for me and my CT commented that he is a crazy man who travelled 10,000km from Singapore to do his proposal and thus it must be true love.

I was so worried about his "work trip to Indonesia" that I did'nt sleep well. 
And of course I said YES! After his successful proposal, I brought my fiance around Hemkop (Supermarket) to do some grocery shopping and while on our way out, we get to see the biggest rainbow across the sky.

What a beautiful day!
For me, Linkoping, Sweden will always hold a special place in my heart. It is a wonderful experience to be here and I am really thankful for the once in a lifetime opportunity to learn and share with Swedish teachers here.
