blog been's rather quiet i realized. anyway the photos on fb has been doing the talking on how life's been so far here in denmark like our trip to kronborg castle. basically here you're on your own. luckily i have joann with me, the first few days was terrible, terribly cold, lonely and bored. it definitely got better. more people arrived, knew more people (container mates & people from the kampsax and kitchen parties), more bread, more chocolate cookies, tastier dinner, more happy furniture in the room. so life's better now :)

the container got more international today. right now there's a healthy mix from lebanon, poland, spain, romania, turkey, mexico, korea and singapore! i wonder who's going to be the last container mate. i hope its a jap or korean guy haha.

i had quite a culture shock during the kitchen party. the kampsax party was gd, nice pasta, dined together and talked among ourselves (i dared not talked to the ang moh boys and the tally jap guy), played table soccer. this time round a lot of us inside a tiny kitchen, hanging tgt, drinking beer and wine, and talking. after joann left, i was the only asian around and got a little afraid. however the people were really friendly, they'll approach you and start conversations so naturally. 3 hours later, i have spoken to a swedish, romanian, danish and another guy. though i can't remember their names, i sure remember their faces. so it was quite an amazing experience. and later at night, the romanians start dancing to the loud romanian music that was interrupting our conversations throughout (:x), and they danced in a neat synchronized fashion. stunned. its like their mambo. (a romanian told me that the highlight of romanian weddings is the dancing), the only one i recognized was the numa numa song. after a while the smoking really got into my eyes, excused myself and went back to my room and sleep.

sunday was rather boring, pious joann went to church with a hongkee and i had no one to hang out with. so i walked to the train station to get cheaper groceries. met weihong along the way who was cycling madly back to dtu to pack his luggage and catch his plane. sadly the super cheap bread ($1.60 for 20 slices) was sold out, so i went on a cookie spree and got myself 7 packets of chocolate cookies ($2.80x7), the cheapest and best around. even better than subway or chipsmore. walked to the campus store and the same bread was sold out. wah so sian i just want to eat bread and i just don't want to get the expensive one. so in the end i did not get anything.

monday was better. went to ikea!!!!!! got more furniture. if there's one thing which i will really spend on besides food that will only be furniture. got myself a round cream carpet which i gian very very long already since hall days, a doormat cos the melting snow is irritating me, tupperwares to put the chocolate cookies, scented candles to nullify the smelly socks, an ocean blue towel, clothes basket.. thanks to yanli who told me to apply for membership card and i saved $25!! anyway i bought the big bag which dad gave and i always use it as a shopping bag. saved $ again. everything here needs money. plastic bags need $. you buy beer the aluminium cans need extra $. u need to return the cans to get back the $. the parties which i contributed beer never get back the cans :( haiyah give and take. think my bad habit is acting up again. ever since i got a mini broom i have been sweeping the floor every now and then.

been adjusting to the crazy weather well. right now i can walk to other containers in just flip flops and 2 layers. however i've heard next week is gonna be -10. that's really crazy.

i had ikea meatballs for lunch. i got myself the 15 meatball set (~$8) while joann and lara got 10. haha thats me and its really filling. the meatballs comes with jam, and whipped potato. so so delicious. at the end of the shopping we bought more meatballs and da pao back. at night i cooked pasta, together with the meatballs in tomato sauce. hahaha so proud of myself cos it was great haha! invited my new korean mate to join us. a happy meal indeed!

anyway it's quite troublesome every morning. the need to moisturize. need to put gao gao everytime before you go out. and wearing clothes too. need to wear so many layers. the thick clothing made walking quite stiff. and my ears get frozen all the time.

in case if you been wondering why i bothered to explain my days in extreme detail is that i've been really bored at night, no one is on msn at 4-7a.m. and there's nothing to do as of yet.

tomorrow is introduction week. time to meet more people!



YYY
that's it
