ok. speed post today. had a very tiring day today! sch started and i just moved into my hostel!
my hostel has a very cosy feeling and the room mates are nice. so i guess i will fit in alright sooner or later!
its just that the rm's a bit empty and there's no wardrobe. so i have no place to hang my clothes!
and the table is just a table. =X not like NTU's one which has many drawers and a cork board to pin notices. hahas.

anyway, Day 3 was spent visiting my main campus when the official semester starts - when i start taking economics lessons
yea i mentioned tt my sch building was once a hospital, but it still has the "english" feel. hahas!
and there are 5 lakes aound it, so i guess i will take a lotta pictures as the season changes! =)

day 4 was spent visiting christiania which is like the "lawless" area in copenhagen
it separates itself from copenhagen and has its own government and laws! and even their own flag! LOL
so in there, you can openly sell drugs and yea, u saw it correctly, OPENLY SELL DRUGS!
and people just trade drugs here and there!
the danes think that gathering these people at a place is easier to control than having people selling in black markets which might be more difficult to monitor!
so that place is really LEGAL and OPEN TO ALL! the only minus point is that u cannot take picture! HAHAS. which explains little photos on my fb ytd.

ok. day 5! sch finally started! and i had to move into my hostel before i could go to sch.
woke up at 6am. FREAKING 6AM. to bathe, last packing and to MOVE to my hostel
lugging my luggage to the metro station was horrible!
WE SWEATED IN COLD WINTER! can u imagine how horrible it was? my god... i hope i dun have to do tt again. my arms and wrists are aching frm today's EXERCISE!
when we finaly reached the hostel, there was A WHOLE LOT OF exchange students and they were all speaking in slangs.
i think singlish doesnt work for them at all... my english has become so PUURRRRFECT when i converse with people here!
and so the exchange students gathered after collecting keys and made way to sch where we all take the danish course!

danish course was HARD!
i m never gd in laguage as can seen from my french exp.
but i hope i can really master danish as i will need it for my 6 mths over here!!! hahas

after sch, shopped and bought a bit of grocery and then company my fren to his hostel which was QUITE FAR
before going back to hall for dinner, bathe, unpack and SLACK!

my entry is really brief today cos i m really tired from all the travelling and cold. HAHAS
so i m gonna slp nw! NIGHTS WORLD.

p.s. I M OFFICIALLY HOMESICK!

ok. i realised my day 1 was super long. hahas!

the most memorable thing about day 2 was the WEATHER.
OH MY GOD! i have never been so cold in my life before.
its about -4 to -5 degrees and the wind is WOOHOO! hahas!
i just dun feel like talking and walk with my head down when the wind blow. trust me! ITS SO COLD I BATHE THE MOMENT I REACH THE HOTEL RM. hahas!
i feel so clean over here cos i bathe in the morning when i wake up, and in the night after i weather all the coldness over here!

oops. ok. day 2!
we started off by making our way to the amalienborg palace.
its the place where the royal family stays during the winter season!
and as all tourist do, we got lost and started asking for directions
a blessing in disguise, as we were asking for directions, a lady told us that the queen's guards are marching past and woohooo!! it was damn nice!
the danish would salute the guards and EVERYONE was following them.
even traffic had to give way to them. DAMN POWERFUL RIGHT
and there was the military band, a few soldiers and commander! poor things marching in the middle of the cold weather.
so we followed them all the way to the palace and they started marching and doing formations which i duno or how long.
and we just stood there in the cold, trembling and hoping for sth to happen, but nth happened. LOL
so we left the place and took warmth in this beautiful church! (sorry! all pics in my fb) hahas!
after tt, we went for lunch, hoping to get some warmth and DAPH got some warmth! hahas
the italian guy in the pizza shop tried to hook up with her and eveN GAVE HER HIS NUMBER! lol!!! damn funny. i m still making fun of her till now =X

after tt, we didnt know wad's gd for us ( should have headed back to the hotel instead ) and went to find this canal called the nyhavn canal.
i duno if we eventually went to the right one, but it wasnt tt nice but it was FREAKING COLD.
the wind was omg!!!! we really cursed as we walked along the whole canal!

finally.. when we were battered by the cold weather, we decided to go back to the hotel!
the day here is really short and pple really end their day early.
so back to the hotel and the routine begins!
down to the lobby to use wifi, dinner, watch tv till we rot, and SLP!

is today's entry shorter? or longer? cos i wanna blog bout day 3 too =X
ahhhh. i miss home though its nice here. HAHAS

ok.. since i am free now, shall make a note on how i spent my past 3 days in copenhagen. walking a lot a lot despite damn cold. i think i am amazed at myself. HAHAS. i think i will whine and whine and whine if i had gone with my fam instead. i guess this trip will really make a different in my life =)

let's hope so! its only the first 3 days.

firstly, i just have to say this... DANISH PEOPLE... are
1) Friendly
2) TALL ( i feel so NORMAL over here! )
3) cute (HAHA)

I dun't think Singaporeans will ever bring their kids to the road just to look at cars and then talk to people who are asking the way like they are friends!
Singaporeans will not ask people if they are lost or smile without reason.
Well... i didnt get a culture shock over here cos i suppose.. they r really wonderful people!

ok. enough of diverting. DAY 1
landed at about 7.16am in the kastrup airport
met up with John's super FAB mentor, nina and she brought us all the way to our hotel!
but the journey to the hotel was torturous.
my luggage's wheels werent working properly and the roads weren't really flat... so i really had trouble dragging my luggage.
and guess wad.. we walked for a good HALF AN HOUR! dragging lousy and heavy luggages, carrying an oversized bag pack and it was -3 degree celcius! MY GOD! aint i amazing? hahas!
it doesnt stop here!
when we finally reached the hotel all SHAG! the reception told us the room aint ready and check in is at 2pm! it was only 10am when we reached the hotel!
so we deposited our baggages there and went WALKING around the area for a good 4 hours.
seriously... i missed the weather in singapore as i was walking. HAHAS

we didnt do much.
simply really walking around, getting to know the place
and then ending our walking trip by visiting the MERMAID!
i actually visited the mermaid on my first day in copenhagen. HAHAS.
so actually. i can alr tell people tt i have been there, done tt!
the mermaid is really over-rated. its so small and its JUST A STATUE!
i think people will still visit it cos its like the TRADEMARK. but i think its really over rated.
luckily we didnt have to pay any money to see it... or i will curseeee!
and singapore's merlion is so much more worth it if we have to pay =X

so we checked into our rm after visiting the mermaid!
the rm is AWESOME!
it has DRYER, WASHING MACHINE, DISH WASHER, OVEN, MICROWAVE, A WHOLE SELECTION OF CUTLERIES! hahas.
not forgetting the comfy beds with super fluffy comforters!

the most interesting thing actually happened in the night!
the 3 of us initially planned to take a train down to the city to celebrate and countdown to 2010!
but then... due to jet lag, we OVERSLPT and woke up at 12mn instead! hahas.
ok. kinda a pity but then! we didnt miss out on their traditions i think
there was FIREWORKS EVERYWHERE! and i seriously mean everywhere.
we were surrounded by fireworks as every household release fireworks to celebrate the new year. DAMN AWESOME CAN!
so tts how i spent my first day in copenhagen and my first moments of 2010. HAHAS!

WAD A MEMORABLE WAY!
