clubmarc

I luv CLUBMARC Co NY=) Nice tops, bottoms & bags...
Saw a couple of nice tops & a bag that i really like....but didnt get anything from the shop in the end ops=P This'll be my fav haunt from now...esp with the free shuttle frm SK
SSL, shall we make it a trip when u r bck hehe?

it was not such a gd xperience to have gastric flu...on & off stomach pain can get pretty irritating...wanted to see doc @ cmp RMG yest but ended up walked off after getting the queue no. as there were 9 more ppl in front of my queue...these days many ppl muz be getting sick due to the weather...

did a crazy thing by gng to cycle on tues morn instd of resting @ home...with the haze & all, might nt be doing a wise thing to my health...but at least the PSI stands healthy...I juz feel lyk sweating out, in the outdoor against the wind....to think of it, actually felt not bad after couple of hrs of cycling thou on off stomach pain still bugged me along the way...had a peaceful lunch @ mos burger eating my croquette burger & corn soup...nice~

time juz flew when you are doing things that you enjoy...teaching the young boy is not difficult right frm the beginning...things will only get abit out of hand when the 30mths old little sis starts to sneak into the rm & begins her own process of gaining attention either frm me or her bro...to persuade her off so that her bro can concentrate...i hve tried my own little ways of giving her stickers & storybks which work to certain extent...kids are still kids...like their innocence and curiosity=)

ViVoVoom

Off to vivo city @ harbourfront todae at noon....had lunch wif sj at third level food republic...like the outdoor area the most, just too bad that it is quite hazy. Many shops, nice restaurants by the skypark wif nice scenery but not yet ready lo. Went nichii where both sj & myself got 9.90buck tops which we thought are pretty decent deals. Ended up having dinner at old harbourfront centre subway where the queue was shorter=P Thks gers for the pressies that you think shld be usable in ofc haha really thoughtful=)

Thanks Cam, you made my day=)

I am extremely delighted to see Camilla's email & pics when I checked my mailbox before leaving for work this morning...indeed brightened up my fri=)
The email allows me to relish the good times we had in CPH, Cam's nice apartment, Netto's not so good quality but economical groceries...meeting Cam @ the busstop when we took the bus while she cycled after starting off from school & she can usually rch faster than us (conclusion of the day: cycling in CPH is just so convenient with the bicycle lane)
3 mths ago.....we cooked, we ate & we had great fun=)

A traditional homecooked danish meatballs & potato meal, prepared specially by Cam=) Impressive!

Frederick truly impressed us by saying that those who cook don't wash & making the kitchen spick & span after we made a crazy mess of it=P

We cooked chinese-style stirfry noodle n meatballs for Cam & Fred....hope it didnt taste too bad for them hehe=P

Hair Xperience

Went eat turtle soup @ geylang todae..first time kinda interesting...
Just got my temp curls FOC by the hair stylist when i only went there to trim my hair...haha luckily it is temp cos I can't imagine myself having curls permanently=P

Forbidden City

The long-awaited Sat to watch Forbidden City - Portrait of An Empress is finally here!

Both me & SJ were late, were rushing all the way from citylink to esplanade...before the doors closed on us haha. I must really made an effort to cultivate bck my punctuality habit hehe...Fio, the usual punctual one waited patiently for us there...

Really enjoyed the musical~nice simple dinnner wif fam @ hk st. novena wrapped up my treasured sat.

HappY Children's Day!!

random

Was @ minds cafe last sat, not really impressed with the place both in terms of svc or ambience but really glad to meet up wif the gers...the loitering ard carrefour later on & chatting over kopi @ tcc was great too! We recalled the ndp cheerleading days, the college life, blah blah...all just seem yesterday...
Went cycling @ ecp yest, enjoyed myself with the cooling weather & sea breeze...hvn go ecp for v v long...glad tt fio is getting good @ cycling now yippee=)

national day

think i might be suffering from jet lag which i think i shldnt be...but i actually woke up at 12pm this morn! terrible, poor time management these daes too....suppose to meet CM to pass him Jo's stuff but was 20mins late...& realised I forgot to bring a paper bag so he can put the espirit bag inside & dun have to carry the espirit ard...and I oso forgot to bring the bdae card that I got for fio yesterday =(

Was with fio & SJ @ Giraffe in Istana Park on nat. day for dinner.....food & ambience was nice. We got fio a white handbag for her belated bdae present....thanks to SJ who went to source for the bag while im still away. We ended up spending hours chatting about stuff over dinner....Sj knew more good places from her work...haha so we decided to check out those at clarke quay nxt time...hopefully I got a job by then & can afford to splurge more haha=)

& finally I hve graduated!!! results for GM mod are out too...scored the same as Ads & Child...cheers for graduation...but jobless status still pending~

Last night

It's fri night now, my last night in cph. Jo had left earlier in the aftrn for london. Went to Fisketorvet Shopping Centre in the aftrn....it is cph first major shopping mall, located beside the harbour on the outskirts of city centre as described by the copenhagenthisweek guidebk...the stn is Dybolsbro...five stops away from Flintholm. Actually was deciding between Field's & Frisketorvet, wanted to go Field's cos there is a hypermarket there & as usual I am a big fan of supermkt haha. But realised Field's which is in Orestad is in Zone 4....my 10klip card only allows Zone 1&2...and I am only left with 1klip cos tmr train to airport requires another 2klips. So that's it, I am left with limited choice but to go Fisketorvet.

The shopping centre lks quite new....shops there are pretty similar to Fredericksberg centre near sch...with H&M and Fotex. But it is much bigger with more shops....I manage to get a water pitcher for mum which is on sale...spent quite some time deciding whether to get it arnot...but when I saw that it's made in denmark...decided to juz get it since it's my last day le. Haha around 15mins more before an hour...so I decided to head off so that I dont need to klip the zone card one more time....& yeah I manage to made it back to Flintholm stn without klipping again!!!

Almost done with the packing...btw results for advertising & children is out cos it's 100% proj....haha thanks to emma who told me that kathrine had managed to chk the results oreadi during the malmo trip....if not tink i wldnt noe the results are out so fast...anw got a 10 out of the 13 scale & im pretty satisfied with it...haha thanks to jo's bf for helping out with our ads' drawings...hopefully the GM results wldnt be too bad....

Just knew from kelvin that tonite's farewell party organised by ISUP is @ luux...haha i dunno how to go to that place & it is 9plus le..shall stay @ hostel & use the facial mask that Ji Hae gave the other dae....peaceful night & 12 more hrs to flight bck to spore!

malmo, sweden~

Me, emma (a vietnamese ger studying in nus biz) & loretta (a HK ger studying in vancouver) head off to malmo (30mins by train & an hr by bus from cph)...can treat it as a post-exam trip for us hehe=P We met @ kobenhavn H stn facing tivoli as usual on thurs morn....decided to take the swebus there as it is a much cheaper alternative (74dkk = 20sin) compared to the train & we can afford the longer journey....

On the bus, understand much more abt vietnam & how emma ends up studying in nus biz...has alwaz wanted to visit vietnam...emma said that 4 days are enough for saigon...& she is planning to travel ard vietnam when she graduates @ yr end & I can join in....how I wish to join manz...we shall see =P

Rmb the highway that I saw on the plane to cph....I know the name now! It's Oresund Bridge , bridge connecting denmark & sweden...@ malmo, we gotten the malmo card for a day...& it allowed us to hop on the sightseeing bus that lasted an hr & a half and gain free admission to malmo castle, museums. The tour guide was a friendly lady who can speaks 3 languages...her job wasnt easy cos she has to explain the sights that the bus passed by in all the diff languages @ one go.....

The day ended well with the three of us catching the 8.15pm bus bck to cph....we were so amazed that the whole bus only had us and another lady....it's like our own chartered bus haha...this time round when we passed the Oresund Bridge...we caught the sunset!! It was such a nice scene with the sun setting by the sea....& sitting in a nice, quiet bus embracing the whole scenery was just marvellous=)

Haha so the bus brought us bck to cph city.....& this time round when tivoli seems more beautiful..realised I didnt really see the night tivoli sight before....haha so emma helped me took a pic with it...blissful & home sweet home~

Berlin~~

Went berlin from 21Jul to 23Jul under the sch social program.....we met @ Solbjerg Plads courtyard...our double-deck bus departs for the Gedser ferry, the scandlines...was my first time seeing how the bus I am seated in entered a ferry to be transported across the ocean...eye-opening for me!!!

DDC

Before I forget, shall write some stuff about the visit to the danish design centre @ h.c andersens boulevard last wed with xinyi, simin & dhaniah all from nus biz....it was a short trip...ddc quite a small place to explore actually...haha but interesting nonetheless....was shopping along stroget with dhaniah first cos the other gers have some projs to do in sch....bought a small tote bag that is @ 70% sale from h&m=P
A few pics @ dcc....was pretty inspiring yeah=)

Last classes...final exams...school life coming to an end on 1st Aug

Final paper for GM is done @ Dalgas Hav. Thankfully this bldg is just within 10mins walking distance. It's a 4h paper! Both me & jo were quite worried of getting hungry & tried stuffing ourselves with lotsa food during bkfast hehe..turned out that we can eat inside the exam rm cos there are ppl who brought in their bkfast...exam ans were typed into the comp and 3 copies to be printed out @ the end & put into diff coloured envelopes to be submitted. That's it.

Prague weekend

Weekend getaway to Prague...beautiful small city...first time flying budget sterling...quite impressed by the large no. of passengers paying to get sandwiches & drinks on board...hee dont fancy flight food so i prefer the budget airlines no frills policy @ least i can choose not to pay for the food....prague airport actually let me feel at home as it reminds me of Spore maybe cos of its cleanliness & organised layout...

fri to sun was well-spent..thanks to loretta's rick steves travel guide book...so glad that loretta from canada who is in my GM class happened to want to travel to prague over the weekend too....met sis & elaine..& the four of us explored around prague...first day: Old Town (Astronomical clock, St Nicholas church's concert, Tyn church), Havelske Trziste Market; 2nd day: Prague Castle, Charles Bridge; 3rd day: Jewish Quarters, Old-new Synagorge, not forgetting the great food & shopping there hehe=P
