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~
