Crappy Weather

The weather hasn't been treating the Danish well lately. It has been raining every day - morning, afternoon and even in the evening. The air is getting chilly and damp. Not exactly a good weather to walk around. Sky is getting dark sooner as well. Winter is coming soon and so is my Hongkie colleague! I am so excited. She will be joining my team. Perfect!

After work today, I went to a Vietnamese restaurant which was only a street away from my apartment. I had my dinner there on Monday, actually. The price is rather all right and I like the fact that the Asian food that is served there is rather authentic and the restaurant owner speaks Cantonese! Perhaps I should try other eateries as well (No hurry. This is only my first week in the neighbourhood). There are quite a number of them around my housing area. All right, shall visit one by one and before entering, I better remember to glance at the price ;p

Home made egg tarts!

Nah, I didn't make them. It was my friend's birthday yesterday. So, we went to another friend's house (who played the host for the birthday gathering) to have steamboat and celebrate the friend's birthday. It was a great evening. We cooked, ate, drank ( I tried apple cider with cranberries, champagne and a white wine - took a small sip each from the birthday's girl wine glass as she was commenting how great they taste. It was fine if it's just a sip. They are mostly slightly sweet.)

Apart from a blackforest cake baked by a Hongkie guy, we had egg tarts! They are all yummy. We were pretty impressed that the guy made delicious looking blackforest cake (not only looked good but taste just as good!) and the best part is, he didn't use butter! That's perfect! No need to worry about calories hehehehe.

There were too many egg tarts. So, we packed some back and I had them for breakfast this morning. Yummy!

My New Home!

I have finally found a place and moved in yesterday! Luckily it is at the 1st floor. So, saved me some energy to carry my things up to the apartment. Not that I have lots of things but the luggage was indeed heavy.

Saturday was kicked off with a cleaning spree. Though it was occupied by a girl previously, the house appeared rather dusty. I lost count how many times I mopped the floor! Fortunately, Danish apartments are not large (anyway, just need to pay more if you want a larger apartment but it's seriously expensive). I got rid of the carpets in the living room and in the dining room too. They left fuzzy fibres all over the place and all dust were swept under the carpet! They are heavy and dirty. Ewww....that's not tolerable. So, I told landlord to take away them since I had nicely kept it aside.

I am pretty happy with the place. The location is good and I love the living room. Well, let's take a tour to my house. I skipped the washroom as I had the mop, pails and things in it after the cleaning spree yesterday. It's rather huge by Danish standard and after looking at my colleague's washroom. I am lucky indeed as I am rather particular with washrooms.

The Living room.
Dining room

This is where I sleep! Bedroom. The view outside is rather comforting but just hope that I will not see someone staring back at me. The entire house is surrounded by other apartments and people can look through your windows. Danish doesn't really mind privacy.

Kitchen. The washing machine is in the kitchen!

This picture looks rather dark. It was taken this morning and it's the view from my kitchen. I could see the courtyard from my kitchen, bedroom and washroom.

The First Snow...

It was the first day Copenhagen snowed since I arrived. While I was starring intensely at the laptop, my colleague announced that it was snowing outside, yesterday afternoon. Curious, I looked out the window. Indeed, I saw white flakes falling from the sky. Just a light one though. It was raining but the air was so cold that it turned into snow.

Co-incidentally, I had a meeting with my colleagues in another office and managed to shower under the light snow while walking to my colleague's car. The air is getting colder these days and often, it's rainy the whole day. It also gets dark earlier. By 5pm, it looked like 8pm.

Winter is around the corner....

Yummy muffin!

What happened? I suddenly craved to chew on snacks but I didn't buy any when I went to the store just now. The pastry shop, which I passed by last night came to my mind. It was just 5 minutes walk from the hotel lobby! *grin*

Off I went to get something to satiate my sudden and unusual crave. Upon entering the quaint cafe, my eyes laid on the muffins located to the left of the shop. My eyes couldn't tear away from them ever since. There was a short queue at the counter. So, I had to be patient while trying to look cool about the muffins. LOL.

When my turn came, I told the lovely lady at the counter I would like to have a chocolate muffin and a blueberry muffin. Satisfied, I marched back against the chilly air to my room. I am now a very happy girl =D

Blueberry muffin

Food rave

The clock display on my laptop reads 10AM. Here I am, browsing through Nic's food blog with my pyjamas on a Saturday morning, leaving me salivating over the delicious food back in Malaysia and Singapore. Bak kut teh, Kung Fu Pan mee, otak-otak, the list goes on. Slllluuuuuurrrrppppp....

I better get a hot shower and go down to Netto's to grab some foodstuffs and milk for the day before the room is flooded with saliva. LOL.

Halloween is Here!

Today marks the end of October and it's Halloween! Went for a movie (A Serious Man by the Coen Brothers) with my colleagues last night and people are already talking about Christmas beers! Halloween first, peeps!

It was the first time that I felt asleep in a movie. I was really tired. Perhaps that's because I didn't really sleep well fora couple of nights. The commercial break took about 15 or 20 minutes (that was how long it felt) and the movie started off with some foreign language that I didn't understand. I thought we were in the wrong cinema cell. Haha.

The cinema was rather small with wooden floorboards. The arm chairs were however rather comfortable. Not sure what's the price of the ticket though. That reminds me I have not paid my colleague for the ticket =p

I thought of going out to shop today to de-stress but I changed my mind, owing to laziness. I will be moving in to the apartment next week. So, it's not that wise to buy too many things now since I need to move in by myself.

Right now, I am crazily following a Korean drama - Boys Over Flower (Korean version of Hana Yori) online, which was highly recommended by my sister and some fellow bloggers. It feels good to catch up on some TV dramas after going through a long day. Plus, the OSTs were good, especially the instrumental one (by saxaphone).
