Citalopram Sleeping A Lot

Why are we in our apartment to do all they we would like? Indonesia

This time will be brief.

Soccer Player Abdominal Hernia



Two days ago I returned from Indonesia.

It proudly says - "in Indonesia," but really it was only a hour ferry trip - I do not know with what speed they part ferries, but I think they can not overcome the terrible are any nearby ( already we have had group discussions on this topic and together we found that it could not be more than 15, 20 km.) Also ... "Returned from Indonesia", hehe:) It's like a Tarchomin to school and back again: D

in Singapore is cool is that everywhere is so close (Tarchomin-> Kabaty Singapore-> Indonesia: D), but the annoying (but understandable) is that you have to spend time tyyyyle at all the border checks - hour trip to Indonesia turns into two, 5 hours only due to official formalities.

No, but I'm not complaining: D Well

so we took the ferry, which let you show here ( gets feedback, with too little pics on the blog - please do:)):








can be, huh? :)








No. So we got on the boat and sailed on the island, which is called Bin Tan (as I like all these names here.) Previously we did a little research, where to stay etc, and we found perhaps the most exotic nights ever! Look at photo:











Cool what ???????
pay 20zl a day, as you can probably guess, the standard does not have any ekstrasow:), but they get - as you can read on the website of, er, holiday house (by the way nice eggs from such a place has its own www what?) - unforgettable experience cultural and refreshing breeze from the ocean meets the job perfectly, which in the civilized world (one hour by ferry) is entrusted with the device, called the A / C.

Well so cool, what ??????

a shame that we went there.


Somehow I did it all happened, the landed not-so-slightly from the side of the island and those little houses we would have to go and go, we decided to also dock at the beach Mana Mana (which BTW is located between the beach and the hotel Morning Morning Helo Helo - super cool, huh?: D). But before we went at Mana Mana beach, we were greeted by Mr Orla and colorful flowers (unless some Indonesian symbol not found out):































A Mana Mana Beach looks like this:

So, as you can see, nothing extraordinary, plaza and plaza: DDD

After this, as I calmed down after the first impression (I was the first time in my life I was over the ocean) (the mud-puddle in the swamp Malaysia do not think the ocean), We gave a typical beach pastimes, whose pictures are given below:

After all bylimy already so exhausted that we returned to our bungalows (some 10 km from the beach). Our cottage (local live there permanently, also [ we were the only white in a radius of X miles ] can say that the community wsiaknelismy:


















The cottage stood in front dilemma. We realized that this merit of SMU, we have the opportunity to admire Indonesia. We wanted to prove it somehow. After a long debate (which we took part we, Greg, Andrea, four Irishmen and two Asutriaczki), SMU decided to build a monument. He used the only raw materials that we had available:

we woke up next day, we went back to the beach, we repeated all things pictured above then we got on the same boat (pish, ferry), we sailed back to Singapore, we spent an hour in the queue at the border, we took Indonesian taxi and tired of the sun came back to our beloved apartment, ordering the way McDelivery. So ended our weekend trip to Indonesia.

la cya!

Reddy Brown Discharge Day Before Period Due

update re: the Singaporean students

They are not 10 times more effective than the Polish. There are 100 times more organized, 50 times better in the use of technology in everyday life, but - let us pray that this was only my first, erroneous impression - 100 times less efficiently than the Polish students!

just returned from his first group meeting with my group from the BGS (this from yesterday's conference Hall BC) - I went to school specially to this meeting, they take them, damn ants, organized by 12.30, also had to get up at 11:30 am ( sic! ) , and the meeting looked more or less like that sat three girls (my group: me and the four local authorities, three girls and one guy), along with an assistant professor (TA - teacher's assistant, who still has the name Toto, It is also generally call it Toto TA) and have discussed it, on what we write about this work. I was late about 15 minutes and when I went, just go out Toto. No. So I asked the girls, for which the topic is chosen. I heard perhaps the most provocative hypothesis in my life, namely Does advertising helps sales?

No, no thought that I die. I politely asked if I sometimes think that is quite obvious that advertising helps sales and difficult for them will be with such a subject, not only of interest to any audience, but in general to get permission professor? Maybe once we give the professor a few hypotheses to choose from and then I would suggest to even think about whether Rainfall in any way influence the growth of plants, possibly Is it hard to find a relationship between the size and strength of eye disease worn glasses?


Well yeah, you're right. Wow, indeed. Oh yes, actually.

And here we had a discussion matter, which, due to its small volume, would like to quote in full: (warning, starts Singapore group meeting)

- This is a hypothesis which now we take ...?
- wow, I do not know la. Maybe ... [3 minutes of intense silence]
- I know! Or maybe. . . will play a football table? [Stand next]
- hihihihi la
- hahahaha la
- hey la, for which you have classes?
- I begin in 10 minutes.
- but we must have this hypothesis together with the whole project plan for next Thursday!
- oh yes. It can meet at the group meeting tomorrow?

- ok la, it is to see, thanks for coming yuri.


And that's it. After the meeting. All this lasted for 10 minutes, maybe 15, and then everyone left. Also

odszczekuje everything, what I said about their effectiveness. We hope that other groups will be different.

'm going to the swimming pool la!

Kates Playground Full Length Movies

In what language is spoken in Sinapurze?

hello lah!

From what I can find on the Internet, encyclopedias and other reliable sources in Singapore said in the four official languages \u200b\u200b- English, Mandarin, Malay and some where even the fourth, I forgot, but I do not want to check it out now, because so it does not matter here. Four languages \u200b\u200b- so says the official records (oh, the fourth is a Tamil - already!).

If someone would be a little more inquisitive, you probably would find the information somewhere, Singaporeans have referred to the local variety of English not Angielski, but Singlish. ( note reader, already at this moment in your head should sound a warning bell - what does it mean variety of English?) OK - you think, cool name, have joined Singapore and Angielski - super, you are just have ideas.

Only you can find information on the Internet. Nothing more. A single Bruczkowski Martin (this from "Sleepless in Tokyo", who does not read, let him regret - excellent book) in his new position "Singapore - four in the morning" - note, quote: "shows the reality of life in Singapore. He uses colloquial language, while safely carry out the intricacies of Singlish"

Hmm - time perhaps for the second bell, do not you think? crookedness, you say?

Well, yes. Singlish are characterized by some crookedness. If official sources are silent on this subject, I you a bit about the whole truth. In general, these small crookedness briefly consists in the fact that

This language is not nothing to do with ENGLISH AND TOTALLY CAN NOT to understand it!!
If
Singlish would I describe sound with words - a task which is extremely difficult, if not beyond human possibility - I asked you (while maintaining a maximum of kindness, tolerance and openness to other cultures), imagine ye combination of sounds made by:

A) wcieklego cock fighting with another cock
B) tile fleeing attached to the tail can (for my household - just Hebe)
C) Cubasy from the tale of Cubasie - do not know if you remember, this Japanese tale of Poles 7 fly , about a young pilkarzu - if not, do not worry, may be any other character from Japanese cartoons, preferably one that often upset state of agitation, and began to speak very quickly

OK. Imagine a combination of these three sounds. But really, imagine that. Crazy rooster, cat panicked and furious Japanese.

N Araz .

Now przyspieszcie obtained effect - yet ... more ... yet! The target speed is about 3 - 4, with gusts of up to 5-6 words per second. On the second, yes.

OK, I already have it. Now, at the end of every sentence add the word LAH, LA pronounced - but not the usual la (remember to rabid Japonczyku), only those la, the sound of whose imagination is the sight of a falling guillotine you ( la! .)

OK. Recent job. Now this sounds crazy stream Put some places (as 1 in 10) words that the maximum concentration and enormous effort can possibly pass as some English words.

You have it?


Well, these are the " minor crookedness, which represents a Singlish. :) Not everyone uses this extreme Singaporean odmiany.Niektorzy speak normally. At the same time it is not either-or, more whole spectrum of possibilities with the case described above, on the one hand (100% Singlish) and the normal, perfect English on the other. I personally no longer understand anything Singlish for content exceeding 70%.

I have referred, they are defiantly English, pshaw! Various English I heard in my life!

Best of all is that somehow the second one is able to understand:))


At the same time, of course, these are my observations and they have nothing to do with how the local people came to the matter. They are probably really believe the world (or at least make an impression) that this is normal English, and that people understand it. I'll tell you something in secret ...

not. Do not understand it.

We white people do not understand this language.

Pol poverty, how you answer an angry vendor Singlish a stall or a taxi driver (although this can already be worse, sometimes we were already zawiezieni not in this place, what you need), worse, when it says a professor of the leading classes, which are expected from you actively participate and to be prepared for every question it. I am really glad I would share, but, Damn, I have no idea, how do I take part, since I do not have the slightest idea what he's talking to me! If it were not mandatory presentations displayed on large screens, I would not even know what the subject says - this could be anything from talking about the weather to challenge me on the deadly duel - and so the only response, which have succeeded him in August to get away from me, would be the method "In Jurek, checked in Polish conditions warfare (where it also proved its effectiveness), that is polite, a light smile, look straight in the eye and gently nod. Works, do not ask. Fortunately.

I decided not to count on it throughout the semester (what else, so the logic, if I sat for 5 months so that its only slight, polite smile and nodded, then at the end of each of them, although that was not prostudencki, would have to think that this is some uncontrollable tic, possibly some light on the background of nervous disorders and something with me is not so: D) and applied a different method, more, it seems to me that rational, and simply changed the odds for those conducted by white or possibly local, who say normally. Also my final choice, if it comes to objects, are: first

Sports Marketing - my best subject - American
second Business, Government and Society - a guest at the Wharton Business School
third Small Business Consulting Experiences - local, but normal
and 4 Retailing and Distribution Management - here, unfortunately I have a local Singlish, but because I ran out of e-Dollars and I can already zabidowac for no other, this also somehow already torment.

Charles
A dodger is jeszce e $ 200 and goes on from some of the classes to another, there eng spedzi an hour, half an hour there, and you elect. I envy him, because with the desire I'd get rid of my # 4, but no I had to give a lot of No. 1 and has not been anything to me, also have what I have and now I'm trying to focus on good sides and up to a lot of that stretch. :)

And when it comes to science, then you need to know that the Singaporean students are lunatics. They are considered the best students in the world. And, man, something in it. In each subject are the groups that are implementing projects that are the basis for credit. And in every single case (each one of us has 4 items, ergo four different groups and it is the same everywhere), they soon begin to create a group to work as a mound of ants. For example, Greg joined the group on Tuesday at 17, and 19 got from each member 2str email on the method to carry out research, etc, and the first meeting of the group is on Wednesday at 8 morning and immediately formulates a hypothesis, antithesis, methodologies, share tasks, etc.. A draft, which, as God and the truth, we can do in two weeks (Kozminski hehe), must be completed in April. IN APRIL! And they zapieprzaja like - as someone in some hip-hop song said - rabbits on coke in January!

Besides, they are not at all amazing, such as the professor has a lecture, they REAL-TIME doing this in PowerPoint presentations! Seriously, I saw with their own eyes - and then as professor in August asking what do you think, what are the thoughts of your group, they just show him a presentation ready! Well, just a massacre! Our Polish students are roughly 10 times less efficient than those here. Gravity. Fortunately, They understand that we eksczejdze, we are not foolhardy enough in order to compete with them and content with the role of the consultant, who asks the group to look from a different culture (eg you know what, in Poland we would we took charge of this project for 2 weeks before the deadline, and today we went for a beer - Mommy kidding: D), addition, it is clear to them that we also podrozowaz, we are also normally be charged a lesser burden of responsibility. The ideal situation is when possible to find the so-called. Angels, a group of decent, well-educated Singaporeans, who can not totally accept and to refuse your frequent absences and doubtful substantive contribution.

I just finished such as online conference with my group from the BGS (my No. 2), during which we were wondering (okay, okay, do not flatter yourself - you looked more of what they write), among others over whether Social, moral, legal and educational dimensions of the cultural environment of Singapore limits the effective use of consumer rights is the right hypothesis Pre and where to get materials needed to carry out research, etc., and I during this interview (1.5 h) was sitting by the pool and once in a while, even jumping on to it, because the pace of thinking require local ochladzajacych session from me (otherwise I was exhausted), because here, wireless everywhere, and I could sit at the pool. Also you can safely say that, despite the lies and Singapore the equator, and everywhere you have palm trees and swimming pools, there is no escape from work - the technology out to get you everywhere.

Well, so much - in today's episode will be no pictures, because I do not quite know, how would I illustrate it, what I wrote:)

Put some soon:)


good bye lah !

What Will Permanently Cure Trichomonia

2 days in Malaysia, which is the first foray Singapore

We have just returned from a two-day trip to Malaysia, organized by the school. I'm generally tired, because the last few days (Tuesday - Today is Sunday - five nights in a row) every day, we went out somewhere and my stamina are running out, fortunately, Monday and Tuesday to 15 are free, too powinnienem come to each other, but in advance I apologize if my present condition reflects negatively on the quality of the text. But try to tell you everything now, when the impressions are still fresh, not to skip anything.

No. So we went to a fishing village in Malaysia. As you look at the map, you will understand that the trip to Malaysia is not there a great trip - to the border takes about 20 minutes:). Then we took a depth-first Malaysia have any 2h. I slept way (trip was about 8.45am, and we came back from a party near 4), also did not see anything interesting - maybe with the exception of the beautiful, breathtaking forests of palm - I saw a few times in the life of the palm, but I never saw the forests of palm - cos beautiful. Unfortunately, they only saw through the window, and when we reached the place, the palm trees there was no trace, also do not have pictures - but I'm sure they will often have an opportunity, in order to show you. But before I could fall asleep, we had to cross the borders, and this was not so easy. Singapore has a very tight limits (at the end of this post will be a little easier for you to understand why), and that they exceed the need to carry with them a few documents proving your visit, etc, etc.. In total, it probably is not anything extraordinary, most countries probably need something similar, but in Singapore you just cannot get enhanced control - for example, every person is X-rayed a few meters distance from the ridiculous device of this (again - you can not do pictures, also the description will have to suffice), which checks the temperature of the body - such as protection against bird flu - are ill-> stand still and examine you. While the whole this study did not take you even a second, just pointed at you such a quasi-gun and the screen in May all the information you need, and you just go away (or not: D). But the void. No. So, in order to leave Singapore, you need a passport, Student's Pass and the Student's Visa. No. So leave the 40 participants all passed through this procedure without any problem. All but three people: Charles, Andrea and Gregory D. Also as the organizer asked, who knows these three people have been detained, the whole bus showed the finger at me:). But everybody was already known and moods were good, also generally no one had anything to anyone for the bad, and after a half hour break, we went further.

Singapore and Malaysia joins a long bridge, and when it passes it, the impression is quite amazing because on the one hand you see the big city, skyscrapers loom on the horizon somewhere
, all new, nice and bright, on the other hand as the eye could stretch forest. Forest and nothing else. No. So right after I saw the forest, I fell asleep and woke up only at the site, too many impressions of the trip.

When we got there, we had no clue what to expect. Trip was to be generally to the fishing village and only so much we knew. Hmm, what can I say - this brief description turned out to be completely Sufficient - just a fishing village. Enough, however, different from what comes into your mind when you think "fishing village, to look into fotkom and read a description to the end. Built in most of the water on stilts. Photos probably would give it better than words:

the first thing that strikes the eye, especially after their stay in Singapore, a ubiquitous dirt. If you have not noticed, look, that lives in the mud between these houses:

addition to these creatures, whom there are hundreds, if not thousands, there's loads of different kind of garbage. When the tide comes in, mud disappears under water - the ocean level increases by about 2-3 meters in a few hours - the first time I saw a real surge, and it made a big impression on me as I glanced in the mud, and there's no mud, only the ocean. The water color is muddy, it is totally opaque - actually it's more mud than water fluent - and stinks terribly. However this does not take a refreshing dip locally.































I personally could not believe my eyes, but no need in Malaysia to be open-minded - it is much more exotic than Singapore - actually, it can not compare them at all, totally two different worlds, all the more amazing that divides them into such a small distance. Other exotic pictures:
