more updates...

more updates...

(i) on the verge of moving to kolding, a pathetic little city 80km north of flensburg... will be situated there cos of the coming internship, which will last probably 10 weeks or so... omans, why why?! why do i have to pay for 2 accommodations concurrently!? ha~ can't pass up on my present accommodation, as it will be impossible to secure another accommodation in aalborg after the internship... so that explains the why-i-am-paying-for-2-accommodations problem...

(ii) staying with kirk for 10 weeks... can i survive?

(iii) coming back to singapore on the 9th may for 6 days...

(iv) little/no progress in my project... the polyester is not drying properly, so i have to work out another method for my encapsulation procedure... the metal-spraying part is also moving slow, cos that guy said not many people speaks english... ha~ i have to be a nuisance and to give them a call again tmr...

(v) my job interview is officially kaputted...

(vi) still working out the possibility of visiting yanling in torino (italy), duygu and umut in istanbul (turkey), stefan in st petersburg (russia) and leandro back in aveiro (portugal)... all in june/july...

tour de sweden - Göteborg

Gothenburg (Swedish: Göteborg) is the second largest city in Sweden with approximately 485,000 inhabitants in the municipality. It is situated on Sweden's west coast at the outlet of the Göta river. With over 60,000 students Gothenburg is the largest university city in Scandinavia. Was once offered a place in one of the masters programmes here, Chalmers University, and that probably explains why i am desperate to visit this place.. well, the place didn't disappoint at all... the place was lively (much more than aalborg), and city is beautiful with the BEEAAAUUTI-FULLLLL ladies...not to mention that people are friendly... was in a restaurant drinking beer alone when some swedish guys started chatting with me... ha~ the whole trip was simply lovely... at Frederikshavn in the morning...the ship that brought me to sweden... stena express... the city...churches, rivers, statues +++ the fish market (aka fish church)... this building was built in 1874, and was so called a fish church since it resembles a church...at the harbor and the Gothenburg Opera House....in front of the Gothenburg Art Museum. Götaplatsen is a public square in Gothenburg, at the southern end of Kungsportsavenyn (The King's Gate Avenue), the city's main street. At the centre of the square presides the Poseidon statue by Carl Milles...

busted knee & i can smell spring!!

omg, one moment i was going to the toilet, and the next moment i found myself sitting on the floor with a cut on my knee... this happened last night, one last visit to the bathroom before bedtime, when i felt my head spin... suddenly i was sitting on the floor, leaning against the wardrobe, wondering what i am doing on the floor(feeling totally disorientated)? next to me was my totally crushed laundry basket, and the hook on the wall (which was holding my jacket) broken into 2 pieces... shucks...

and this morning, i found myself unable to exert any weight on my left knee... there goes my frisbee training session tmr...
on a brighter note, i can smell SPRING!!!! wahhahhahh!!! the landscape is turning green...and the sky is staying bright for a long time...this pic was taken at 8:30pm in the evening last night...

the weekend came and went...

the weekend came and went just like this, nothing's done nor achieved... the project is moving, slowly but surely... now all i have to do is to "push" my supervisor a little harder regarding the coordination of the metal spraying process, and the samples would be ready for testing... 6 months of intensive planning, coupled with all the unexpected pitholes along the way, and everything boils down to the next 4 weeks... anymore mistakes/ delays and it will be officially game over for me...

internship gottan start soon for me too... and that will mean ZERO travelling for me, save for the short trip back home for my bro's wedding... and last-min air tickets are just so expensive, so its probably not worth the effort, as well as the expenses, to go for short trips around denmark... wahhh.... i would so love to visit the balkan states or the baltic states...=(

BUT an idea hit me while lying in bed on sat night! if i can't fly, maybe i can take a ferry instead!! ha~ denmark is part of scandinavia, so why don't i visit sweden or norway? hee~~

"chinese/japanese style" of taking pictures... say "cheese"!!!
