Anyway, I'll be back in the middle of August...adventures is not finished :)

Vad Nytt med Eric?? / What's up with Eric??

Hehe, finally 1 month later I re update my famous blog...so sorry for people who everyday come and check news lol.

So the news for 1 month, for my part, I have finished my student year in Kalmar and got all the credits I needed, and even more, so 70,5/60 :)

Now, I still stay here for about 1 week or maybe more if I do my internship here.

The end of May and beginning of June was really good time, in parties meaning, but after that, all friends start to leave and I know less and less people in Vallen for example, not luck. Tomorrow, Midsommar is coming, it should be a great even here in Sweden, hope the expection will be nice :)

Otherwise, some news about Football, that everybody know of course after 1 month, Man U won Champions League and Championship...and Paris is still in L1, so quite good.

As for the Euro Cup, France and Sweden are already out, so quite bad...even very bad...hope the next teams will be better.

As always, I'll try to update my favourit blog soon...we never know, maybe it will be really soon :D

Some pictures taken at Beach Party, and Wednsesday after Party/ Saturday in Vallen, beginning of June:

Procrastination...När du har oss/ Procrastination, When you Got us!

So, almost 1 month after the last message and no updates at all :/
Anyway, I'll do henceforth :)
For the News, I passed finally my first course of this semester and now have almost all my credits :)
Paris Saint Germain will finally play in First Division next year, and didn't go down...they won League Cup and will probably win French Cup also soon. :)
Man Utd, Inter and PSV won all their own Championships, and Man Utd will play wednesday for the Champions League, so another line in the palmares ^^

Now, I'm working for my last course....I'll put some pictures here more soon, not too late i hope.

Jag är Tillbaka...Snarare på Blogget / I'm back, rather on the Blog!

Since my Birthday and my leaving for Russia, I didn't update my blog...A long time so, more than 1 month for several reasons. Anywya, today, I've decided to update it a little. This first post won't be too long, but I'll write another one this week end latest time with news about my last travels, so Russia and Estonia.
Anyway, my daily Kalmar Life has resumed, the end of the year is coming, so I hope my 2 last months here will be as good as the previous ones.

Så, vi ses imorgon på blogget!

PS: Jag har klart Svenska för Utbytesstudenter II, med 57/70...det är B, VG...inte för mycket dåligt, som jag har inte kommit till alla kurser slutligen :P
I passed Swedish for exchange students II, with 57/70, so B or "Very Well"...not too bad, as I didn't go to much lessons finally.

Me and 2 singapor friends met in the Ferry, who took part to the same trip than me....here is it at Hermitage Museum, one of the Greatest with Le Louvres :)

Grattis på Födelsedagen till Mig!! Happy Birthday to Me!! Joyeux Anniversaire au Génie, Moi :)

Hehe, finally, it is today, for some hours already. Obviously, I'm not sleeping yet...and still have many things to do, to pack everything, to work...if I manage, and to watch the film I wanted to, as it is so famous in France, "Bienvenue chez les Chtis"... I shouldn't be disappoitned in any case.
Of course, I need to sleep too, but I guess I'll have the time to do it in bus in any case....
So, see you in 10 days...or less maybe if I have the time, I dunno yet.

Eric, dit le Saint, dit le Génie :)

KO för en Födelsedagenfest! / KO for a Birthday Party

After this hard week of working...(if only it was the truth :( ), I had my last party yesterday before the Russian trip which begins tomorrow. As many of you know, it will be my birthday tomorrow, so monday 17th march, I'll be 24. So, for celebrating this, I had planned to finish half a bottle of vodka with Yves...only this, during the preparty...that's why we went to system bolaget, bought a expensive bottle of vodka...(alcohol is very expensive in Sweden as everybody know...the "black point" we could say), and 2 beers for each one. After having been used with vodka the 2 last months, I almost didn't feel anything drinking this with Red Bull. I started with a glass filled with 40% vodka, 60% Red Bull in the beginning...drank it in even not 2mn, like if it was water, then disappointed coz it didn't seem strong, I took another glass, but this time with 60-70% vodka...and I continued like this...finally, we managed to finish the bottle and our beers. After it, we went directly to Corehouse, at about 00h20, and already my state started to change...so much that I didnalmost nothing there, I felt suddenly the vodka-shock, everything is well, until we got kind of hit on the head, and we feel bad...I didn't stay so long in Corehouse, I was obliged to go back home, by taxi by the way -_- (really shame on me), then sleep directly...the party finished to early, but I couldn't do in another way, state didn't allow me... anyway, I managed nevertheless to reach the goal, to finish this bottle lol.

A picture which has no link with the party, but just I like it, Bremargatan 25 in the night:


I continue with films I watched:
Asterix, I finished it, and...it is not good at all...the "people sport" show in the end is particuliarly too much, useless with no link at all with the "bande dessinée".

Another film, Michael Clayton, pleasant, to watch if you have the occasion :)
Trailer as usual:


Vi ses efter min resa...hoppas det ska vara trevligt och kul framför allt :)

Filmer och Sport / Movies and Sport

Today is Thursday, the 13th. Unfortunately, another day where I didn't manage to do many things...but I'll do, I still have some hours before sleeping. The previous days were finally, quite interesting, I didn't waste my time doing nothing as often it could happen. That's why, I watched movies, and made sport :)
For the film, I began with the famous "Oscarised" film: "No country for old men" that I watched in Cinema in Kalmar, so in english with swedish subtitles...not easy to understand at first, but after, it was better...even if I almost slept during first part of film...generally, I'm told as a "good public", it's hard for me not to like a film, or rather, I never criticise, but for this one, I did...it's a very slow film, people speak slowly, never advance, and a end sudden...I really didn't like, it's not my kind of film surely...
After this film, I came back home, and before sleeping watched "Jumper"...and still in english, but without subtitles this time, as I didn't manage to find any in english or french. Finally, it wasn't so hard to understand, quality of image wasn't perfect too, but it was "watchable"...I found it like a pleasant film.
The third one, tuesday night was "American Gangsters" with Denzel Washington and Russel Crow. Long film dealing with drugs deals/ mafia (2h45), but it worth the time spent watching the film :)
Sunday night, I watched "Good luck Chuck, or in french "Charlie, les filles lui disent merci", film that I wanted to watch with some friends at New Year, but which finally wasn't released in the Cinema where we live...bad critics, but as I'm good public, it wasn't a problem...finally, pleasant I found it.
As for the last one I started yesterday "Asterix in Olympic Games", very expensive film, bad critics, and not so good...i'll finish it of course, but as people say...it's not perfect, although the trailer was well done...

Next films to watch: "Micheal Clayton", "There will be blood"...if I manage to find subtitles, and "Bienvenue chez les chtis", if I manage to find a good version lol

Now, dealing with sport! Tuesday evening, I went to the sport gymnase in Kalmar, where I played football previously, for climbing and playing badminton. A long time I didn't practice any of this sport, if we except 2 "tracks" climbed last August in Göteborg. There were 3 "tracks" for climbing, I managed to climb the 2 first ones, the last one was little so hard...as for badminton, I played many matchs with Yves...but we trully saw that I wasn't trained enough....it will be better next time I hope..I guess :D

Now, I've to work....and for those who are interested, here are the trailers of films I dealed with in this message:

No country for old men:



Jumper:


American Gangsters:


Good luck Chuck:


and the most french expected film, Asterix:

Vad gjorde Jag förra Veckan, och Vad ska Hända nu? / What did I do last Week, and What will I do now?

So, after my last message last tuesday, I got quite a busy week, with not so much free wasted time doing nothing. Tuesday evening, I went to a pub watching Man Utd winning against french bad team whom I won't quote the name of course. It wasn't a very intensive match, but the victory 1-0 was the most important.
Wednesday was without any doubt the most busy day. I spent time at home for the beginning of the day, then I had to city center for making passeport picture for my trip I'll do next week in...Russia. After having sweated (galérer) for finding a photomaton (photo-machine) in the city center...pictures which finally were quite bad :/ I came back home for filling paper for Visa Registration... then directly went to Pool with Yves. There, even if we didn't swim too much, the result was only tiredness, coz more than swimming lines...jacuzzi for a long a long make tou feeling well, and tired only. After pool, jacuzzi, sauna for a while, went back home, then student pub watching Real-Roma, taking part to a good match this time...and eating and drinking one or two beers, and one tequila shot, quite strong moreover. The rest of the evening/ night was fula fisken as often. It was not bad, but I couldn't appreciate so much, being enough tired.

Thursday was rather day off, despite off the lecture in the morning. If I remind well, I spent time at home, then stick pictures of my wall later in the day/ night. The result is now this one:

Friends of mine will be able to recognize themselves there :)

The end of the week, so week end we could say was as usual, I went out friday evening to student pub drinking 2 beers, then to "BistroBar", or new "Ernesto", it was the opening. It was free, it changed. The rest was almost the same however.
Saturday, I cooked a lot with Yves, lebanese food, it was very good, so "houmous" or "mashed-pois chiche", "loubié bzeit", or "ragouts of green beans", rice, salmon and "polock" (don't know the translation for this fish". Everything was very good, we ate well for 2 days, I hope I'll manage to cook this when I'm back in France :)

Here is the famous menu, a "regal".

The rest of the week end was quite a rest, then Corehouse, the saturday night rituel, and another day off for sunday, day I didn't manage to work my business writing, unfortunately, what I'll have to do for today...

Today, I had seminar of brand management course...it was quite quick, but a lot to hear especially...

Vi ses för nytt äventyret/ äventyra? :s --> jag måste plugga min svenska :/

Bara en Lite Video För i Morse / Only a little Video for this morning

Yesterday, I rewatched a video that I was advised to watch, that's why I put the link here, coz according to me, it's very well done.
For this week, I don't have lots of lectures, only 2, as last week...the one of yesterday lasted only 1h30 moreover, very short. However, it's not a reason for me not to work at all, I've a meeting today with my working group, and so, some work to do.
Another important thing for today, Man Utd play the return match in Champions League, at Old Trafford, against a french bad team whom i won't name it ^^ I'll watch a match in a pub...we must win, otherwise I'll be very disappointed, and not only me.

Helg, Samma Aktiviteter och Fotboll !!! / Week end, Same Activities and Football !!!

This week end looked like almost all the week end I am used to spend here in Kalmar, parties friday and saturday with friends, but not many things to do at home, so rather rests or whatever else not very important, but finally, the end was different. So after a saturday as usual with a first preparty quite borring, then a second one better, with much more people and people who I knew moreover, quite dressed "in Tropical". Indeed, there was a tourism sittning in the end of the day for the tourism students...sittning which one I could come as I studied Tourism last course, but where I didn't go finally. So, after this second preparty, we went to Corehouse as every saturday, so the occasion to see other exchange students that i don't meet so often as most of them have different courses. It was quite usual, but still very nice of course, it's always pleasant to see "some familiar head".... (translation word by words of the french expression in order not to say "people who I know lol). After this, nothing more, I went back home then slept, until the morning, coz it's a long time I didn't spend any morning in bed (grasse matinée).

Then, in the beginning of the afternoon came the "Event" for me, I resumed sport!!! (I don't consider swimming as a sport according to the intensity and hardness I'm used to practice when I'm there...it's rather some lines of swimming, then jacuzzi / sauna...all the contrary so.
As everybody can guess according to the title of the message, I played football indoor after maybe 2 or 3 years without having played at all...and 2 years almost without sport... it was very exhausting, and I was very disappointed not to be able to get a better endurance...the time I was doing athletics seems to be long suddenly. Anyway, even if it was exhausting, it was really nice to play football again, and what is sure now is that I'll continue to do it, once or twice a week...with the hope that I'll get back soon my fitness. Moroever, I didn't manage to score today...but I'll do next time for sure :)

Finally, it was rather a long post, hope not too boring for you to read it *-)

Hej så länge!!!

Frisör och Video Igen

Today, I didn't have any lecture, as it will be the case, so rather quiet day...I went to Hairdresser after about 3 months without having visited him...and nothing else special, I spent all the time at home otherwise, as often when I don't have any lecture or any project to give back.

As yesterday, I'll add two videos, one from the same pianist, playing "Everytime we touch" from Cascada and the splendid german girl Natalie Horler....and the clip with herself of course ^^

So, here are these both videos :)

The Pianist:



and the Clip:



See you!!

Dagen's Tankar och en Video

Änglar existerar eller...man når inte de... en français: Les Anges n'existent pas ou ...on ne peux pas les atteindre...
Otherwise, today was the new course, Marketing Communication and Brand MAnagement if I remind well...so I must NOT play the tourist anymore, as it's not "my" job here. Anyway, I'll manage to pass if I study normaly, it should be better ^^

Another thought for a friend of mine, Fleurine, who just passed her concours, and therefore will study in Paris next year ^^

And to finish, a Video taken on youtube about a famous piano player according to me...here is it "Eyes of Tiger":

Vi ses ;)

Turism och Turist

For a tourism exam, there was no better way than going...like a tourist of course.
So, Re- Exam next month I guess, but with more work this time :D
Really, I wonder why I spent a white night for trying to revise this exam, coz there was no need at all...the next time, in order to avoid such situation, the best thing to do: "unregister for the exam", it will avoid any pressure...or of course, another best thing to do "read and working"... for the future, learning what is the best way, the uncounscious tourist way, or the prepared organised way :/

Tenta!

Finally today is my first exam of 2008...I haven't slept at all this night, trying to work and revising (learning) Tourism course...it's only 7.10 and there is already day outside...night doesn't last so long anymore...in 1 month it will be already the Spring...as we say, time goes by fast....so fast...
Now, hope I'll manage to do something in the exam, otherwise, at worst, I'll leave after 1h and will wait for re-exam...in any case, I didn't take courses in addition for nothing, I count on my bonus credits of course ^^

Vi ses ikväll!

På Jakt Efter Månen (Looking for the Moon)

Still not sleeping at almost 5 a.m, but without having gone out to party...why?
The last days before friday exam, and always the same, difficulties for working...motivation really doesnt't want to come.
In the evening, Lyon- Manchester, the match that a great Man Utd Fan like me can't miss...so, I watched it at home on computer...good match, especially the 5 last minutes, of course, thanks to this man:

After this match, not many things to do, then I go to sleep..I wake up at about 1h30, then I can't manage to sleep anymore...until 2h20 when I woke up then...go to eat with Yves who were still...not sleeping also.
After this I got to know that there is a Lunar Eclipse today, and even seeable in France, and a large part of Europe, which Sweden belongs too...even if Kalmar is really at the border... so of course, henceforth I wait for 4h25, time where I go another time outside, looking for this famous Moon, hidden by clouds...the day where there was thus famous show ^^
Finally, after 20mn looking for a way for going to the roof, I had to resign to go back home...:(
Now, hope I'll manage to sleep, I need to go at 8 at library, reading book and slides....exam Friday 8 a.m, maybe some people will think about me at this time...^^

Here is the famous Lunar Eclipse that I should have seen with my eyes...if these clouds had chosen another day for being present... :(

En Onsdag i Kalmar

So, here is a little view of my life in Kalmar

7:15: alarm
7h30: wake up
8h20: take the bike for going to school...bike which is broken finally...so go by feet at school
8h45: arrival at school

11h10: back home, internet, sleep
15h00: first lunch, some slides of bread with philadelphia
15h30: rest, internet
19h45: second lunch
22h10: supermarket, buying some Red Bull
22h45: start to drink Vodka Red Bull for the party
23h40: go to Fula Fiska with Yves
23h55: arrival at Fula Fiska
23h55 -> 2h00: dance, cold, talking
2h00: waiting with Svetlana (russian friend) for her jacket, she doesn't have her keys...
2h20: leave Fula Fiska, walk around
2h45: go back to Fula Fiska, there's a fight, i try to stop it...but I'm not Superman, I leave, and finally the fight restarts...
2h55: i raccompagnies Svetlana to her place, we finally manage to enter, then i let her sleeping to a friend of her...
3h30: i go back home, singing in the empty street
3h50: i'm at home finally
4h00: Yves is not sleeping, we go to eat some bread slides with philadelphia/ cheese
4h30: telling about one wednesday in Kalmar

Here was my famous day...tomorrow i have lecture at 8h30, dunno how i'll manage to be there, so about 3h of sleep... and my bike which is of course not fixed yet, so i'll have to go to school...by feet again :P

Thing to know: Vodka doesn't effect me anymore...after 3 glasses of strong Vodka, i was completely not drunk in the end, it changes with previous week lol.

Vad Nyhet??

As I wrote only 1 message since I'm back...(message that I published only 5mn ago moreover lol), people should wonder what happens in my Swedish Daily Life :)

So, after 2 months where I studied a lot, "so hard" about Individual Project with Sirlan (still dunno how they dare to call this Individual as we had to do it in group :s ), I got my new course, "Tourism Planning Development, focused on Baltic Area...(as always Baltic Baltic Baltic...)". I got o BBS about twice a week, i don't read a lot, for the moment one chapter...I wonder how I'll manage to pass this course with such few time spending of reading.. /

Anyway, most of the free time i spend it at home spending poker on facebook (less now coz i'm rinced lol) , or in...parties with others exchanges students, and Yves/ Elias my lebanese french spoken of course neighbourghs.

So, last wednesday (30/1) I was in Fula Fiska, (Ugly Fish in english), friday in Palace in VIP...it was a good experience, although the end was quite strange....the conclusion is too much Vodka kills :s and finally, saturday in Corehouse, this time with only fews Vodka in blood, so no problemes.
Again this week, Palace friday, and Corehouse yesterday, looking for an Angel seen on facebook...

Another news that i forgot to tell...I became papersless (sans papiers lol) for 2 weeks already... I had the bad experience to lose my wallet ...dunno where exactly... so all the card to remake...and the ID Card to make..also... I should think about it, it's important :/

Hehe, Jag är Tillbaka

So, I didn't give any news since i came back in Paris for Christmas...why? simply a question of time, and i didn't think about it too.
I'll deal about my Holidays and events since I came back home in Kalmar, the third of January.

During Christmas, it was nice to be at home, life is completely different here. I have been busy most of the time during holidays, which changed a lot with previous years. So i have met friends, family, moved a lot in Paris and the suburb.

------------------------------

I had started to write the message the 19th January...today we are the 10th february...so, what's there..? thanks procrastination!

Anyway, today is the day when i'll resume this blog who I like a lot...(normal it's mine ), so i'll update it very often, as before :)

Here is a picture of a preparty in the middle of January, we can see from left to right:
The Genius, Stan (Fr), Cesar (Sp), Stefan (Autr) Brendan (Aus) and Sirlan, my binome for about 2 months of our project about Environmental Innovations :)

As for our Project, we got the result monday... and finally, WE PASSED IT!!!!!
Many people were quite surprised, even me...for example, the day before to send the project, I told to Sirlan: no way, we won't send anything, we can't finished it at all, our work is only shit you know...finally, the last day, we managed to write some pages, then we had a dinner in a quite good restaurant in the evening, coz it was the last day for some exchange students in Kalmar...and we resumed the last part of our project...We sent everything at 3 a.m (36 pages), and....apparently, it was better what we thought :)))))
