Day 2 of school, rent payment and ice skating

This is the day one of ME2025 lesson. Haha… The lecturer seems knowledgeable and interesting, though the he had given me a very easy-going impression. Even though this day is day one, the assignments to the course have been distributed. There’s one group project where we are required to do a brand portfolio analysis. There’s one individual assignment that is due next week. We have to write a brand portfolio about ourselves or describe how brands in the current market affect our purchase decisions (consumerism). In the lecture, brand drivers, brand energisers and product defined roles were explained. Although I’m not quite sure about these terms, I’ll try my best to google them. LOL…

I went to the Direkten near Stockholm library to pay the rent for January. However, the machine went offline. I guess I’ll try my luck tomorrow.

Evening was spent at the ice-skating rink at Kungstragarden. Many exchange students turned up. This is my first time skating on ice. It’s rather ‘dangerous’. Walking on ice is hard enough, let along skating on it with thin blades attached to the shoes. Alex told me I was ‘walking’ for the first few rounds. Stephane was kind enough to show me some tips. Well, I guess my balancing was still weak and the shoes were not fitting. LOL… It was really clumsy of me to ‘walk’ around the rink. Most of the time, I was relying on my ankles to support myself because the way I stood on the ice and I positioned my feet in an ‘A’ shape slant. It’s tiring to maintain balance and that stance. Yes, I fell down at least 4 times. Embarrassing, but it’s the fun to be moving on ice that kept me going for few more rounds. I stopped after having perspiration soaking my inner garment and aching back.

Unforgettable experience.
