Thoughtful Gift from Tina
Last month, Tina and myself went back to our home country to study a course. Upon returning, she gave me a little gift.
At first glance, I was wondering why did she give me a pencil case. When I opened the case, ..........
Aw,.....the case contained a pair of mini chopticks and a spoon. She knew I didn't bring any chopsticks with me while relocating to Denmark. I could actually bring this little case with me while travelling. It's very handy indeed. How sweet. Thanks Tina! I love them ;)

Life @ Copenhagen III
Saturday was a beautiful day! It was sunny and it wasn't as windy as last week. Hence, it was a perfect day to take a stroll and to capture the short moments of spring.
It was a disappointment last week that a Sakura Festival was celebrated without Sakura =.= Thinking that it would bloom this week, my friends and I planned to pay another visit to Langelinie park only to be disappointed once again. This time, we could see little brown-pinkish bulbs on the tree but Sakura still hadn't bloomed just yet.
We took pictures of the beautiful day instead :)
Mr. Sun casting its glow and beauty on the waters and greeneries, lighting up the place further.
Tina posing against the wind.
My turn :p Just love the colour of the sea behind me. It was exceptionally blue on Saturday :D Maybe, it was just me. LOL.
See what I meant? Anyway, there was some improvement (very little) compared to the previous Saturday.
"Tina, strike a pose here", I called out to Tina, imagining the Sakura indeed bloomed. It would have been a beautiful scene - beauty & Sakura ;)
Bronte and I
Tina and I
Nice shot, eh? ;)
If these were tulips, it would have been even more captivating.
Apparently, there's a story behind this fountain and statue. Anyway, let's take a few snaps first. Story comes later :p
Yeah, another one :D
Taking shots from different angles.
Love this piece ;)
If the tree was slanted with a larger degree, it would have been perfect to lie down and watch the sun ;)
After a day out under the sun, walking and posing for shots, it was time to satiate our growling tummies. As we didn't get to try the Korean restaurant last week, we decided to dine in this time. It was a quaint restaurant, cosily decorated, which was ran by a Korean family. Like any other Danish restaurants, it was small but the ambience was just nice.
Tea to quench thirst. 
While waiting for the courses in the set meal to be served, I camwhored. Be it object or human, they were not to be missed! Hahaha.
Cheese....Tina & I.
Aha....the cold dish. Bean sprouts, carrots and spinach in sesame oil and sesame. Yummy!
Tina posing with the tea cup.
Me, getting ready to dig in! 
Bean sprout soup.
Salad and Kimchi. 
The kimchi was delicious but came in small portion. Luckily, it's refillable ;)
BBQ meat set. It came with a mixture of pork, chicken, beef and organs from the cow. As I don't eat beef, I requested for pork and chicken only. The BBQ set dinner costed 185DKK. However, I didn't take beef, I was being charged 170DKK instead ;)
Tina really enjoyed cooking. She was barbequing for everyone. Thanks Tina!
Haha, dessert time! We were really stuffed but we could not say no to dessert ;)
Fruits with ice cream and wafer. Nice combination!
Yippie! One shot before devouring them!
Here you go, the shop's name is O Mo Nim. I shall definitely come by again. The service provided was good. It's a pity that they didn't serve Dukbokki. I was actually craving for it.

Owing to my laziness and procrastination, I only post photos taken weeks ago now :p
A Malaysian friend from London came to Copenhagen for a business trip and we decided to catch up and did some tourists activities though it was not her first visit here.
Since we had not tried brunch in Cafe Norden (a cafe renowned for its brunch in Strøget), we decided to go for it.
Hot chocolate which came with 2 complimentary cookies. They were good. Not too sweet ;)
Cappuccino
Aha....this is the brunch. Fruits, sandwich, salmon salad, bacon, eggs, cake of the day, orange juice and some cheese. I couldn't finish all of them. Bread and the cake were the sacrifices. Danes have sweet tooth. Most of their desserts are too sweet for my liking. I thought the white layer at the top of the cake was cheese. Boy, was I wrong. It was icing! :S
Tadaa! All 3 of us ordered the brunch. How could we resisted that! Cafe Norden do have open sandwiches - one of Danish's specialty. However, I wasn't exactly impressed with them. If you had not tried them before, perhaps you should since it's the country's specialty and traditional food. As its name suggests, it's basically a piece of bread with shrimps or chicken fillets or fish fillets or slices of smoke salmon being placed upon it with dressings and salad. The top is uncovered (with another piece of bread).
After the hearty brunch, we decided to walk around and snap some photos. We passed by a church and saw a newly wed couple. They were surrounded by family and friends that came to witness and to give their blessings to the couple who reunited in the name of love.
Annette and I in front of the Town Hall.
This is not the National Theatre. Just one of the theatres in the town. Not as impressive as London's though. Had not been to any of the theatres or musicals so far because I could not understand Danish and even if they do have English ones, it would be really expensive.
One of the 3D cinemas in town.
There are not toys but cakes! How colourful! I hastily snapped photos outside the shop as they looked too inviting ;)
Tina and I at the Amalienborg castle
Behind me is the Opera House. It can be visited via the cruise or waterbus. Waterbus operates like a bus and if you have a clip-card or monthly bus, you could hop onto it easily. Otherwise, you may pay for the fare onboard.
Danish's icon The Mermaid was being moved to Shanghai for expo.
And it was being replaced by this one! Hahahaha. Cute!
Another mermaid around that area.
