saturday

this is one saturday in which i am staying at home. now i understand what it means to be stuck at home because of the cold weather outside. considering someone like me, its a rarity. i know i'd brave the storm if there was something worthwhile. i even declined a dinner invitation from the other students coz i was just too tired. and thinking that i'd have to be alone coming back again tonight is a little too much.

i wonder how come i'm still not active on facebook even though i am on exchange. i conclude its not a matter of whether you're free, its a matter of lifestyle?

by the way, tonight i experience what its like to feel lonely. the feeling of being stuck at home, not knowing what to do. and i guess its really just about the friends.

on top is my first meal. never bluff you all right, instant noodles with 1 x egg. and 1 sheet of bak kua worth, being cut into bite sized pieces. ps: i cooked 2 packets and ate 1 for lunch at home. after which i packed the other packet into my thermoflask to be brought out. of which i ate later that night at a friend's place. one of the best investments ever made in my life must be that thermo flask! things are so crazy expensive in supermarkets! first hand info: 1.5l coke costs like 25Kr which is like over 7 sing bucks. mama. i bought a house brand of cola today which cost me 12.90 Kr, SGD$ 3.68. which is ok. but the tatse sucks. i havent had any other liquid other than water for days.. since the time i was here. and its tap water. drinkable but with some taste. my other investment that def paid off would be the nike waterbottle that i redeemed with the vouchers from the volleyball competition. it doubles up as my thermo flask in the room now. and to hydrate yourself in weather like this is a must.

i now hav a checklist which reads like this:

before you leave:

• wallet




• keys




• hp/ iPod




• transport card




• scarf




• hood




• gloves




• pack lunch




• water bottle




• camera




• vitamins taken?




• adaptor for sch

without anyone of those, life would be so miserable. because you'd have to pay a bomb or suffer in the weather or someting.

below: one of the pictures of my room. its rather big. double bed. a chair which i throw all my clothes on. feels like i moved house. my table: all the wires are in. another great investment: i brought a 4 pin adaptor which nicely functions my laptop, speakers, harddisk, all at the same time while my table lamp is switched on. coincidentally almost 90% of the furniture i'd say is from IKEA. my favourite place.

Denmark is a really green city, with lots of people on bicycles.. (i wouldnt be riding in this kind of weather) very seldom will you see plastic bags from groceries shopping. we hav to bring our own shopping bag. another of the smart things i brought. :)

i'm really starting to wonder what i should cook tmr for lunch. i mean brunch. i kinda hav 2 meals a day now. not sure why.

below: bing kai who has been travelling for the last few days, coming to CPH to pay us a visit, before he eads to aarhus this afternoon in fact. sent him to the central station after which we discovered the little Asian town. with all the cheap maggi mee there avail, i think i can afford to down more 2 packets at a time now. :). cheap meaning like 80 cents a pack. yes thats cheap by standards. i think i am alr adapting. today was so tempted to buy the almost $8 burger king meal. which is ok i think.

i think i will soon be able to finish touring the whole of copenhagen. but its true. i think this place packs as much as probably HCMC. def less than Singapore. considering the budget. hai. i think i will soon be able to test the limits of my discipline on food. haahaha.

the funny thing is spent over 1000 Kr at Zara just yesterday. crazy. and the thing is we brushed by H&M. i think i'd just go back in there tmr...
