“We are pleased to inform you that the proposed company name – Edlund Pte. Ltd. has been approved by ACRA.”

So there you have it, folks. Now I’m gonna get back to reading my book.

I blew it. This is what happened. I was going to head up on the highway, and as I turn on to the on-ramp, there’s a truck that has been standing on the side of the road with its warning lights on, that decides to go up on the highway before me. Problem is, trucks don’t accellerate very fast, and I end up coming on to the highway doing 55 instead of 110. I get into the right lane, look back briefly to see if there are cars behind me or if I can get into the left lane to pass the truck, when the truck suddenly comes into my lane without warning. I see it in the corner of my eye, but the examinator (curse that woman) doesn’t think I do, grabs the wheel and turns the car into the left lane. And since she intervenes I automatically fail. Fuck. Now the question is whether I’ll be able to get a license before I head off to Singapore, or if I have to redo the whole thing from scratch in a year. Fuck.

This could have been my next apartment, but unfortunately it won’t be, because of someone’s aunt who promised too much. Or something. I dunno. So it’s back to square one when it comes to finding one. Oh well. My trip is almost over. I kinda like this place! Nice people, warm weather, good food, perfect girlfriend. What more could anyone ask for? Can’t wait to go back soon again.

We haven’t done much, really. Mostly just hanging out. Sleep, eat, coffee, rinse and repeat. Went to see an accountant today. It’s gonna be hugely expensive before I get things going. About 15 000 – 20 000 SEK. Gah. Add to that airline tickets and deposits to future apartment. Ouch. Better start making some money soon.

Oh well, time to head out for dinner. Will post more pictures later!

My grandmother, Astrid, passed away this morning. She was 101 years old. We’ll all miss you dearly.

Friday. Finally. And quite an expensive one at that. But yeah! I’ve bought tickets to Singapore (again), and I’m leaving on the 4th of April. Per is moving to Holland the same day, so he and I (and probably the rest of the family) will hang out in Amsterdam for a couple of hours before my flight leaves for Singapore. Have to start prepping for my trip though. What people to see, what forms to fill. All that jazz.

But man, oh man, is it gonna be nice to go or what!

In other news, the Friday was kinda nice. A lot of meetings in the day, and Jonas and I had the world’s best pizza, folköl, watched the series premiere of The Riches (could definitely be something), the series premiere of Raines with Jeff Goldblum (pretty abysmal) and the series premiere of October Road (boring). Gonna end the evening with Lost and orange juice, I think.
