I panicked then immediate ly stood on a chair n tried to stop its ringing… I was tinking cham cham the fire department is gonna come then so paiseh… heng luckily its not linked to fire department.. I dismantle it from the ceiling.. n plucked out the batteries… then it shutted up;… phew… it was so damn noisy loh..then lazy to put it back liaoz… then open a small window to let the smoke out, the room is so smoky ….

Night Photography in T-centralen

We went Central Station … first stop is the cathehedral which i took in the morning.. now i have the night shot as well.. haha..

the sergel torg thingy that doesnt look very nice in the day but at night looks damn chio..

basically everywhere is the same all got punks/gangsters one lah.. Singapore also got.. like those incidents in Clarke Quay where there would be quite a lot of fighting going on… so no doubt Stockholm also have loh…just that we don’t noe wat they r capable of lah… but can tell that some of them very artistic from the graffiti everywhere on the wall…

Dom is so damn pro in the photography.. he brought special lens to fit in camera n stuff like that… wah I also lazy to pai.. then let his camera pai then I just download from him…

at the bridge leading to Gamla Stan






While Dom was setting up his tripod at one pt, some ang mohs mooned (showed their butts) at the camera.. got their bizness card n helped them take a pic of their butts n another group photo (this one no butt showing).. hahah doint they feel their butts freezing off,,, damn cold nite while taking pics.. don’t noe how low is temperature but its very cold… for sure…

IKEA!!

Nothing special abt IKEA lah..(except that their sign outside the store is so duper BIG!!)
looks pretty much the same n the deisgn of stuff there also same as Singapore… I not very sure lah… LL say one.. I guess so lah..

After LL n Dom told me, I then realsie that the Swedish charge money for the plastic bags n paper bags that we in Singapore take so much for granted…

Kena Charge 1kr for a plastic bag.. quite big IKEA bag.. Dom told me reasons why some Chinese don’t eat beef… that’s becos long long time ago.. Chinese use cows to plow the fields so these cows r like the owners’ very helpful helpers… thus when the cows die, the owners would not wanna slaughter them to eat becos they r their best friends… but Now.. all cows r bred to be eaten so we can all eat them… well that’s his reasoning.. ok loh.. hahha … anyway we end up buying food (a lot of food) from IKEA.. quite cheap.. the hotdog we ate at IKEA that is cooked n ready to eat costs 5kr.. however we could buy8 uncooked ones in a pack for 25kr.. of course I buy a lot back lah… haha the vege pizza as well..bought a pack of 9 choco biscuits back as well.. quite cheap.. 29kr for 9 compared to outside vending machines of 10kr for one… I see these brand everywhere.. so decided to buy one pack to try… hahah.. after that we came out of IKEA n took some more pics..

Hahah happily carrying out stuff bought from IKEA.. (no no.. not those IKEA strange strange furniture n deco.. but guess wat.. FOOD!!)

Pizzas, Sausages n Bread n other food... hmmm..

then Dom ask if wanna go out tonite to take pics.. then ok loh.. so we meet at 8:30pm.. it was 6:30pm when we parted ways..

Stadhuset (City Hall)

Woke up quite early today.. Fried one egg for myself to eat for breakfast… aiyah shld have fried 2.. it looks so pathetic.. how can be fulfilling for me.. aiyah nvm lah.. lazy to cook anyone anyway… watch “Joey” on my hard disk.. then wear all my clothes n prepare some biscuits into a plastic bag for lunch.. then off I go to Stockholm.. (I m technically not in Stockholm.. since my location, Sundbyberg, is like another city by itself.. looking at any map of Stockholm, u wont find my place..) so off I go… took the train to T-centralen.. then got off at one exit.. then anyhow walk walk.. wanted to go to Tourist Centre.. but not yet open til 10am.. now time is 9am.. oh ya forgot to mention, Stockholm n Sundbyberg at 8am on Saturdays are like a ghost town… there is no one at all one.. ok lah a few.. but can count on fingers one loh… unlike weekdays…


Temperature is -4 degrees celsius as u can see from the sign behind me.. but different signs often have different temperature readings.. so i m not very sure.. but it sure does feels like -4 to me now.. haha

hahaha I must be the only crazy one to get up so early on a Saturday morning… anyway as I was saying, I reach the T-centralen.. then came out n saw a very very big cathehedral… so damn big.. then I m tempted to go over there to take some pics which I did..


then anyhow walk walk.. then walk along the half frozen lake… very cold this morning but the lake not yet frozen but part of it seems icy.. I threw a stick onto it n was disappointed to hear a splash.. if it was a clank that means it is a frozen lake liao mah.. then snow may come mah.. becos the temp is cold enuff…


Guided Tour into City Hall


Met 3 Malaysians outside the City Hall.. requested one of them to help me take pics.. then began to tok to them already.. they r here for an 8 day programme with Ericsson.. n r going back today later.. decided to join them… they wanna see the City Hall so I join them loh.. costs 50SEK since I m student.. (60sek otherwise) for a guided tour.. tours must be guided since the city hall also contains the political office of Sweden so quite sensitive..


Blue Room
The guide mention that the architect won the right to design the City Hall building because his on paper is the most budget sabving, only 8 million kr.. but in the end when the building is completed it costs around 24 million kr…
The Blue Room isn’t blue… that’s becos the architect plan to have it Blue.. but then he saw that the red bricks look so nice that he decided to just keep the red bricks… n he didn’t bother to change the name of the room.. so everyone still calls it the Blue Room

Nobel Prize banquet held here.. Each person given only 60cm room to eat since space at the Blue Room is pretty limited… Stairs leading down to the Blue Room most frequently used.. the king n queen of Sweden will use the stairs to come down to greet the attendees of the banquet.. together with the Nobel Prize winners.. the architect in order to decide which material best to make the stairs so the walkers will feel comfortable n wont trip.. he made his wife wear high heels n a long gown to walk up n down diff stairs of diff materials so that he can decide on the best one… hahah.. there is a Star carved into the wall facing the stairs.. n those ppl walking down the stairs look at the Star so that they can maintain their posture… when walking down… The Star on the wall could be seen in this picture below: (sorrie not veyr clear but its located at the top part of the picture)

Picture of a Beer Delivery Guy in the City Hall

After the completion of City Hall, the architect asked the workers there to nominate their most liked person so that his pic will be hung in the City Hall in plain view for anyone who comes here to see.. the workers choose the beer delivery guy who delivers beer every morning by boat to the workers n Swedish likes beer… thus it is only natural that that guy is their favorite.. hahha

Political Chambers
There was a small room by the political chambers where the Swedish politicians meet to discuss national issues.. it was made for the female politicians in the past… they used to be the very minority.. thus during a break, the ladies will come to this small room to relax…but now.. abt the female politicians made up more than 50% of the group so they do not use that room anymore.. it became a room to display gifts given by other kings of other countries

Room of 100 Arches

This is a room where the ceiling has 100 archs carved into it… it is said that each arch represent one politician in the Swedish parliament..

French Room

Every Saturday abt 20 couples get married here.. very romantic place… can choose the short or long version of ceremony.. long version is 3 minutes while short one is 1 minute..
Anyone, Swedish or not, can get married here.. just register can already.. a 5 mth long waiting list though hahha… this room is called the French room because on its wall hung tapestry (very big ones) made by the French n given to the architect.. n he like it so much that when he realize that the original room could not fit it, he demoilish it n rebuilt one to fit it…

Gold Room

The whole room super duper big.. n the walls are made of mosaic pieces of real pure gold,,, so it is super duper ex wall lah.. this is the place where the food is served to the Blue Room during Nobel Prize banquet… after which the food is cleared for this room to be a Ballroom for ppl to dance… there were some misestimates by the architect resulting in the top most part of the one wall being cut off.. n one of the designs on that wall is that of a prince I tink…n his head was missing becos of not enuff space… but strangely in history the prince that designed is supposed to represent was beheaded by the Danish in a war against them… as can be seen in this picture below.. look at the part where the ceiling meets the wall... (a bit blur though the picture)


Shopping around T-centralen

Saw a lot of souvenoir shops along the street to Gustav Adolf Torg.. was informed by the Malaysians that there r a lot of cheap souvenoirs shop there.. so decided to venture there.. but b4 went to the Tourist Centre under Kulturehuest to kop more brochures…
Saw a sign “Zoo” then follow it , then saw a shop selling Chinese product in a small alley… then came out saw what the Zoo is all abt.. turns out its just a pet shop… diaonz..
Went into one souvenoir shop.,.. then saw a pack of “Stud Underwear” hahah.. from the diagram it seems to mean this Underwear can fit any guy’s.. ermm hemm u noe wat lah… hahah..
then also saw a pack of Elephant Underwear… it has a elephant head as the underwear .. n then the trunk of the elephant is used to contain wat lah.. hor.. u noel ah hor..hahha.. then its time to go to Universitet to meet LL n Dom at 1:30pm… diaonz leh they all assume I will go to sch to use Internet so send me an email.. telling me to meet at 1:30pm… luckily in the end I sms them n Dom called me…

Opening Handelsbanken Bank Acct

aiyah… sianz.. feel so sleepy now.. just cooked myself a sweet n sour chicken rice… haha actually cheated.. the ingredients are all already mixed with the rice… all I have to do is to put some oil onto the pan then pour the pack down to cook n heat it up… now waiting for my laundry to be dried.. it will be done by 10:20pm.. I hope.. wah I see the machines n dryers quite advanced leh.. much better than KR n PGP ones… but those r easier to use.. here instrucations all in Swedish.. anyhow press loh.. haha..

just went to HEMKOP… a NTUC – like supermarket.. things seem cheap.. the Sweet n Sour CHiken rice costs only 36.50 compared to the 39.50 I purchased at Coop Forum …Arrghhh…saw 2 Chinese who came here to work… wanted to tok more to them but shy lah… (I mean I m shy).. they r looking for soya sauce which is also wat I m looking for.. in the end we found 1 Mushroom Soya… we bought a small bottle to try first..

today went to 3 banks.. then finally got a bank acct at the 4th one.. we went to Hankelsbanken.. by Odenplan train station.. it was a small branch.. n we faced the problem of having to have to Swedish 6 digit ID number b4 we could apply… but problem is that we can only have the 6 digit ID no. only if we stay here for more than 1 year… so we cant do naything there… we decided to try the SEB bank across the street… same problem… then we tried the Nordea bank… ah ha no such problem but another problem arose… there seems to be monthly charges to maintain the acct.. 50kr.. LL n me not very keen.. we could have a McDonald’s meal with 50kr…
I saw a bigger Hankelsbanken bank (how I noe its big? Well this sign is bigger… hahaha) then I suggested maybe a bigger branch could help us… Thank God, it worked.. the bank worker was a great help.. we managed to secure a bank acct with no extra charges n an ATM card n a Internet banking acct no. Not bad lah… but got one problem.. the bank’s website is all in Swedish how to do internet banking… from wat my friend, Dom told me is that if we pay our bills thru Internet, then I need not pay the 45kr surcharge by the post office for handling bills… sigh.. I wasted 45kr since I paid the opther day liao… nvm.. see how lah.. maybe get some Swedish to help us…


then after that went back to library.. to use the internet.. aiyah don’t tink I shall mention the long story of wat happen this morning wasted so much of my tiem becos of one stupid adaptor… sigh…

KTH Introduction programme...

Went for the bus sightseeing tour organised by Dom's sch but it was raining.. sigh why just rain n not snow… then the view isn’t very good due to rain on the window n the tour guide keeps on rambling then we don’t noe where or wat she is toking abt.. ok lah saw quite a lot of things.. a lot of statues n museums.. trees , shopping mall.. etc..

then went to have lunch with Dom’s Swedish buddy, Kristina… at a café.. each of us ordered a diff meal.. mine was Ham n Cheese for 65SEK.. alrite lah although ex the serving even for me is quite big.. a slice of pizza plus a lot of vege on the plate good good haha.. then also free flow of bread.. enjoyed 2 pieces of bread myself..very nice.. hmmm… then got a glass of Coke as part of the meal.. the price is alrite lah if I eat like this once in while but not everyday lah..

then LL n I went to rush for Bus 4 to go to KTH for our registration programme.. tok to a Swiss guy n a Finnish guy.. then we went to a room where the International coordinator is super lousy n CMI.. tok don’t noe wat.. aiyah the orientation programme in KTH is terrible…L regretted coming here… then we were split up into our various department, Electrical Engineering.. our group is rather small..then we went to get our computer accts then went to his office.. after which our small group decided to go to Central Station to walk walk… at central station, when we walk out, I didn’t realize that from the other exit, its like Orchard Road … but with lower buildings…haha a lot of shopping malls…. A lot of ppl as well… then we anyhow walk til we reach a Kebab place where the rest had some snacks.. not cheap either.. I ordered a French Hotdog for 20kr… not cheap .. but its quite filling plus the full lunch I had just now… then its dark liao.. 4pm liao.. then the rest decided to walk to check out prices at a cinema.. the Finnish guy n I decided to try the KTh computer room.. but unfortunately our card cant access the rooms yet.. shit… then we split ways n go back home lioaz..

when I reach my blk, I decided to look for Anne, a lady I have been in contact by email living in my block 5th floor.. wanted to ask her abt Internet n stuff.. she said that some residents r using wireless routers to share their connections.. wow that sounds good then I don’t have to pay so much.. but don’t noe wat r the chances of someone on my floor haing the router n connection.. sigh.. I guess I will try the other more expensive option that is to get a ID number from don’t noe who Swede then apply for broadband, she mentioned once I get the number then I call the Bredbandsbolaget (smt like Swedish Singnet) then I can get the service in 20 min.. that’s good… she also showed me the Lan Point.. its on top of the front door.. diaonz.. that means I have to get a super long cable to connect my laptop to the Lan pt or else I would have to surf the Internet in my kitchen.. she recommened some cheap places to get the cable n groceries… phew lucky I have her contact.. I don’t feel so bad abt living here naymore.. but lets see lah.. I really hope someone near me has a router n connection.. I don’t want to pay so much n it has to be a six mth contract soemmore..

Wheelchair, Stroller Friendly Sweden

One thing that is very diff from Singapore abt Sweden is of its wheelchair accessibility of trains, buses and its streets... there r lifts at every train stations.. ppl with strollers n wheelchairs could get up the bus fromn the back where the door is wider.. there is a green button other than the red alighting button in the bus... that is for ppl with strollers or wheelchairs to get off... the green button is to alert the bus driver to wait a little longer than normal for them to get off..

its pretty normal to see stairs with special strollers or wheelchair friendly slope like the one in this pic below:

haha smt SIngapore only just realised with its building of lifts in MRT stations... looks like it will take soem time for our small country to catch up... i realise that i saw a lot of elderly ppl with small trolley like the one on the right.. they could sit down on it when they r tired or waiting for bus or train.. otherwise it provides them with smt to hold on to while they move abt.. it also allows them to put their shopping or other stuff on it while they move abt.. so innovative.. haha pretty cool.. anyway back to my pt... one can see ppl moving around in wheelchairs n elderly walking n taking public transport in Sweden.. a sight very much missed in Singapore ..i guess the inaccessibility of places to them discouraged from venturing out let alone try the wheelchair unfriendly buses n trains..

Short Walk around Gamla Stan

Reached KTH n used the Internet there to tok to my darling… by email at first but gradually with the help of sheng, we managed to tok on a java chat like irc.. cool.,,

Left here at 1+pm to proceed to the Post Office at Central Station to paid my hostel fees.. damn man.. so difficult to find n finally found it.. then say need to pay 45SEk as handling fee.. xiong ah… then we proceed to Pressbyran (smt like a 7-eleven) to purchase 3 pieces of bread for 20SEK.. don’t noe wat it contains just that it tastes not like anything I eaten B4.. after which we proceed to Gamla Stan.. (Old Town) to explore..took some pictures.. a very picturesque place.. with old buildings..








but as we moved further in town… there were a number of department stores.. inside.. small ones.. gotten boring as we move inner… then Dominic called LL … oh ya forgot to mention I gotten a Sweden smt like a Hi-Card with 100SEK worth of value… Dominic is one of my other hall friend who also came here for exchange but with a bizness sch.. very lucky guy.. when he reach airport, someone went tpo pick him up n his luggages then also pick up his key soemmore.. sigh… I so suay..

After which we came back to LL room to wait for Dominic so that we can go out together.. Dominic came then we went to Central Station to walk walk… he so lucky just got treated to a lasange lunch by his exchange program in his sch.. n we r eating bread here,,, sigh.. then later at 730pm he alos got free dinner… sigh…

Walk around Central Station.. a lot of small shops but prices r very ex.. now kept on wondering how the hell m I supposed to buy any gifts back w/o being broke.. luckily I don’t have a lot of friends waiting for gifts in Singapore… hahaa… then next we took the train to the Supermarket.. I bought a pack of Sweet n sour Chicken Rice… deciding to cook myself tomolo dinner…

Ok lah now back in this miserable room of mine… just found out my washing n drying services r free.. good n I also have a oven n a fridge… ok lah… not bad… felt sleepy now… Yawn… ok I go off now..

Arrival in Stockholm (FINALLY!!)

Waited for the luggage to go around the conveyor belt for a long time b4 they finally decided to appear… didn’t take any photos.. too shagged n sianz.. when the plane touched down ,it is 7:15am local time.. but the sky is still very dark..sun not yet up…
We split ways with the other 2 guys.. we took an airport bus for 59SEK (student discounted price) n all our luggage were loaded up at the back of the bus… wanted to use Internet at airport to sms my darling but it costs 19SEK per hour n I don’t tink I gonna stay an hour so forget it loh… use LL phone to sms lah..shld have brought my own SIM card… sigh..

The road leading from Arlanda Airport to Stockholm is very diff from Singapore… got all those farmhouses.. n large pieces of empty land n forests..but also got companies such as 3M over here… we reached the Central Station for the Subway here… we decided to take a cab from here to KTH.. too many stuff liaoz.. it costs 160SEK when I asked the first taxi driver.. then I asked the second one it costs 115SEK.. aiyah nvm lah we deicde to take it… he say he don’t operate by meter.. but when we got inside, it looks very high tech… more high tech than SIN cabs… nvm lah.. we got to Accomodation office.. then we met the person IC.. then she tell us to sign the contract.. n pass us the keys.. then basic directions on how to get there..

LL n me decide to go to each other hostel together.. we go to hers first… since nearer.. .hmm.. bought a monthly ticket for 600SEK.. last for 30 days.. every train n bus ride costs 30SEK regardless of distance traveled… it seems.. so as long as I use it 20 times then can already.. haha.. forgot to use student card don’t noe got discount or not… but damn shagged the luggage damn heavy..took one stop to Universitet stop then we took Bus 40 to her hostel… super shagged… then moved up a lot of slopes.. with our luggages… to board the bus.. we just had to show the bus driver in front or monthly pass then board at the back where there is bigger space… the MRT is quite friendly to wheelchairs n ppl with large stuff.. there is a bigger gate for ppl with wheelchairs n strollers… just show the card then can go in liaoz.. by the time we reached LL’s room… we r almost half dead… she cooked my Maggi Mee.. then I ate some of my Amos cookies..

After resting for an hour +, we proceed on to my place… took the train n bus.. but this time we use the Lift at the MRT to get down instead of escalator or else very dangerous.. I learned a new Swedish word today à HISS which means Lift… hahah.. n UPP which means Up n NED which means Down… hahaha… also learned how to take the subway… ppl here r quite alrite.. when asked for directions, they tried to help but some don’t noe…

We reached Syundbyberg Centrum station… my stop… which took abt 30 minutes from sch.. (not counting the waiting time lah).. alrite lah quite chop chop.. we found a guy who is very helpful.. helped to carry my luggage some ways… n guided me to my house… wah mine is like a normal apartment, definitely not made just for students.. becos I cant find any LAN pt .. so I approach my neighbour.. turns out he is a AH PEK!!... oh no.. I m like so sian then.. feel like crying.. seriously I feel like crying.. NO internet access!!.. panicked.. we deicded to go back to KTH to ask… finished the pack of Amos cookies… share some with LL….

When we ask the KTH ppl… turns out for my side I have to apply like from the Internet Servcie Provider (ISP) over there.. n I have to pay extra.. sigh.. abt 80 Sing bucks per month… don’t care liao.. I will start applying tomolo..anyway its rather late liao.. 4pm over here but the sky is like the 8pm of Sngapore sky so dark… n the office is closing… I shall go down to email the ISP tomolo when the office is open… the computers in KTH accommodation office is available for use but a lot of functions blocked so no MSN n stuff like that,, sianz…
After which we split ways… I go back to my house n she back to hers… by the time I reached Syundbyberg.. its pitch black… its like nite time liao but its only 5pm.. sianz… I unpack a bit then I tried to sleep.. I feel so depressed now…

Boarding flight to Stockholm

We went to board the flight to Stockholm liaoz..wah when we reach the boarding area… SO many ANg mohs… super not used to it… never seen so many ang mohs at one area b4 in my life other than on TV… guess I just had to get used to it.. once we board the plane… then LL took the aisle while I took the inner seat but not the window seat… the plane structure is such that 3-4-3… 3 side, 4 middle seats… then we kept wondering who will be sitting beside.. praying that it not be one big fat ang moh… then as we tok, one very big fat ang moh is walking along the aisle liaoz… but PHEW… not sitting with us… we were also praying that it is empty but it didn’t seem this way leh…so many ppl streaming in now… then LL went toilet… then one tall ang moh came in with 2 paper bags… then he left his stuff on LL seat saying wanna go toilet.. guess he is the ONE…

then LL came out of toilet n asked abt our traveling companion.. n he came out too.. LL made the comment that he is quite shuai… hahah.. ermmm ok loh… then I asked if she wanna sit with him.. she declined it haha.. then in front of us got one ger.. very nosiy keep on moving abt n crying.. stupid leh.. then at the middle seats at our front row..got one more boy… also rather noisy..

cham liao… then I have to suffer this agony of traveling with them.. tried to close my eyes n sleep.. but cant.. the angmohs at the row behind us in the middle seats r toking n the ger in front is crying most of the times.. didn’t get much sleep then alos very cramped.. took out my boots for comfort…

aiyah main pt is I didn’t get much sleep.. … stupid ger in front of me… then just stone n close my eyes there loh.. aiyoh..waiting for time to pass .. finally morning came.. although its still very dark outside… everyone is waking up for bkfast… we r currently flying over Russian airspace… had scrambled eggs n some chicken for breakfast.. I guess this is the last proper meal I gonna have for the next 6 mths… haha..i m gonna miss this…

watched a movie in flight.. “The Criminals” never heard of this show b4 but rather interesting… then stone n read Newsweek from the plane til we reach Stockholm…

Arrival in BKK

Wah… Finally arrived in BKK… The flight is so hot.. No air one leh..Must be because of the bright light shining from the top..dont noe how to turn it off.. at the beginning of the flight… there is one Thai ah pek sitting beside us.. he saw LL big bag on her lap then moved to the front empty seat, asking her to put her big bag there…so nice..

One of LL’s friend came forward to tok to us.. he is going to Linkoping. A 2 hrs bus ride from Stockholm, I tink.. he n another friend of his is going.. there r from ME.. he kept complaining abt his friend being very fat.. not giving him enuff space to sit..he also mentioned that his friend’s luggage being 40KG leh!!... wah.. his was 36KG… then the check in counter person ask his friend to repack his check in n carry on luggage then finally let him pass… wah heng for him..

Spent the remaining of the flights toking to LL abt modules n stuff.. LL mentioned that one of her KR friends, Dominic is coming to study in the Bizness sch here as well… wat a coincidence… Dominic was one of my Biz comm. Member.. quite a nice guy though.. good good.. n he has a buddy to orientate him to the region..

Reached the BKK duty free zone waiting for our next flight…LL’s 2 friends suggested going for a foot massage.. costs around 600baht (around 30 Sing bucks).. then I tink why not.. since got a long flight ahead n never try b4.. but we stone for quite a while first b4 going… we went to a shop which look like a hut.. it is written there 600baht for a 30 minute session of foot, shoulder n head massage.. sounds like a good deal..

Wah the massage session does not feel vcery relaxing leh.. most of the time I m feeling pain n ticklish.. hahaha… I must be too stiff liao.. even the masseuge laughed at me.. becos at one time I feel very ticklish while she is rubbing my soles.. then I resisted a bit.. then they tell me to relax.. the session is like that: à
2 ppl will massage me at one go for 30 min.. one at the feet n one at the shoulder…the feet massage is xiong ah.. quite painful at times when they r pressing on my bones… they have very strong hands..haha this is a clean massage in the duty free zone in BKK airport so no kinky bizness going on lah… just rubbing of the shoulders n feet etc.when I came out, I felt quite painful not very relaxing leh.. hhaha…
