Stockholm, Sweden

When everyone's thinking of fleeing to warmer countries such as Portugal and Spain, I'm right here at this beyond subzero temperature Stockholm.


Valkomnande till Sverige!!!!


Aren't the view in Stockholm breathtaking??? The beauty of it.


Some pepparkakor and mulled wine provided
by the hostel upon our arrival. Super super nice!!!!
Hence, all of us got ourselves a box of it as souvenirs.
We were too hungry and practically, not practically,
finished the entire basket. And it was not seen again
for the next few days. Guess the receptionist was so
afraid that we would finish their supply.


Dinner time!!! Swedish food are yummylicious but at the
same time so pricey. You will at least need to spend a
minimum of 12gbp for each meal. So don't go to restaurants
if you have a tight budget. Swedish meatballs are heaven =)


I'm finally here at the original IceBar in Stockholm.
Definitely a once in a lifetime experience although
the place was so much smaller than what i expected.


Choice of your absolut vodka shots~~~~


My lucky shot. Absolut Archipelago ^^


Group shot before we left.

Another round of Christmas Market


The Musical Instrument Musuem. The place we had the
most fun at night. Just like those small little kids.


Went searching for this Swedish restaurant that
some guy recommended but failed. Simply too
cold to continue looking and in the end, we settled
with this. Some middle east food which tasted
delicious too.


Look at the portion of the middle east
food. Too small to even fill half of my
stomach. Hence, MAX burger time!!!!
Cheapest fast food you can get in
the entire city. Only 15 korna for one
burger. Definitely smaller than McD's
cheeseburger but the patty was
uncomparable. So tender yet so juicy.


Forgotten what's the name. Skyview if
i'm not mistaken. Went there at the wrong
time and it was closed. Tried our luck
again the next day and here we go!!!!


The view from the globe


It's Us again in the globe =)


Fried Herring with Bread. Such an amazing combi.


Morning market or we called it as; 'Fut Tai' Market. Haha.
Everything there was only for viewing purposes. Cause it's
simply too exp!!! A creme brulee that i wanted to try cost me
70 korna. That's like RM RM40 for one small little dessert.


On the way to the Vasa Museum


Here we are at the Vasa Museum. Ya, your eyes wasn't playing
tricks on you. It's a ship. A huge huge one.


Glass Factory


Christmas Carol. Out of so many songs they sang,
i only knew one. Santa Lucia. Which is stucked in
my head throughout the entire study break =x


Our last dinner in Slinger Bulten again!!!


Gamla Stan. The most frequent railway
station we stopped in.


Credits to Kelvin for the stunning
pictures!!!

Stay tune for more. Up next, Christmas in London and New Year in Birmingham ^.^

Weekend in Birmingham

Sorry for the late post. This is suppose to be up before Christmas but because the author of the blog here is too busy with studies and travelling =p Hence, sekarang baru post. At first i thought of skipping it, but cause it's my first time here in Birmingham and to the German Market. So u guys are lucky to get to read about it =D The main highlight; we were there for Shi Hao's 21st Birthday!!! Therefore, still decided to do it =) As usual, let the pics do the talking.


On the train early in the morning


Lunch in Chinatown. Long time missed bittergourd <3


My buddy, Thiam Hock brought us ard
his Uni. University of Birmingham.


Dinner in Chung Ying. I'm so sick of chinese
food now ~.~


Morning shopping in Bullring


Lunch in Malaysian Delight. Had the
not-so-nice Hokkien Mee. But still enough
to cure the cravings.


My buddy from Birmingham. Say hi to
our 4 years of friendship. It's not very long
but it's smtg i appreciate alot. He's always the
one that brings most laughter to the people
around him. Hence, you see me laughing
like a mad girl whenever he's beside me =D


Happy 21st Birthday Shi Hao. Thanks for being the
only guy in our gang. For doing all the work for us.
Hehe. Appreciate it lots. Know you like the present
from us...... cause we have good taste =p


My first visit to the Birmingham's German Market
aka the Christmas Market with awesome deco
and snacks.


Awesome possum German Sausages with Ketchup
and Mustard. Potato Pancakes on TH's hand. And
flavoured mulled wine which was super addictive.


Last group pic before we went back to TH's cozy
house


Japanese buffet in Shogun, Mailbox. Super worth
it for people who has a big stomach for sushi like me.


3 days 2 nights getaway finally ended.
And we end up stranded in Chesterfield
due to overtime shopping in Bullring =.=
Super chaotic moment =x


Shopaholic who doesn't wanna go
home >.<

Up next: My winter getaway in the Capital of Scandinavia, Stockholm =)

Truffles Love

One paper done or maybe it's not even considered as one. Cause simply it's too easy. Pharmaceutical calculations. As long as you still remember your primary sch mathematics, no way u'll fail for this paper.

Another 2 more to go. Which are the two hardcore major papers. Nutrition and Molecular Therapeutics.

In the verge of a nervous-breakdown, the booster came just in time.


Handmade chocolate truffles

Who else knows that i'm such a chocolate lover more than he does?

Thanks so so much for it <3

Wrong Video at the Wrong Time

I know I'm not suppose to be watching this. But i just can't control myself. And i'm craving for it now.

What matters most is, I miss going for breakfast here with daddy early in the morning. Basically, I miss having breakfast with him. And lunch. And dinner. Maybe not supper, cause he doesn't like having supper.

Another teary night ='(

Another New Year, Another New Beginning

A little break, away from my books. Only left with 5 minutes to spare. Hence....let's cut the crap.

This new year is not just like any other new year. It's my first new year across the sea and away from KL. But one thing that's not changed, the friends that i celebrated with two years back. or 3. Brain jam. Cant think properly now.

What's so special this year???

I've got myself a new year present!!!!

BB Bold 9780

Bought this only to replace my dead iPhone which is now downgraded to an iPod Touch. And it's not even 2 years old yet =( Everytime i thought of this, my heart starts bleeding again. Don't ask me why. Ask my fingers. One darn finger caused me a bomb.

But still, new gadget = happy me.

So, what's yours???

5 minutes is up. Back to war. Can't wait for this to come to an end. Will update about my trips once exam is over. Along with the post exam trip to Bar barrrrrrr Barcelona.

Promise promise =D

Letter to Myself ♥

Dear Casey,

I'm writing this letter to you as the year is coming to an end and it's time to reminisce the past memories that you've created this year and come up with new resolutions that can make you a better and happier person.

Have you ever thought that you could be so independent and survive in a foreign country without your parents by your side? Or have you in the first place, ever imagine that you would have a chance to step your foot in the UK? Well, I'm sure you did. Cause you're right there now and doing great.

Education. It's been 2 years since you doubted your decision on taking up this course. It might still not be your favourite and what your heart truly wants but see, you've being doing well throughout the past 2 years and u're already in third year now. Just another one more year to go till your uni life comes to an end. Unless you wanna continue doing your PhD. So just go out there and enjoy the time being with your uni mates before you start working and never have time to travel with them again.

Family. You should be grateful you have such caring parents. A loving dad and mum. That never stop loving you no matter how many times you hurt their hearts by doing silly stuff. A naughty sis as well. That you always complain about but still love her cause she's your one and only sister in this world. Your doggie, Nong Nong is still acting like 1 year old although he's already 10. You should know, sometimes mum nags for a reason. If it weren't because of her nagging, you wouldn't be there in UK using money like using water. And at the same time, still not causing burden to your parents. The best thing is buying presents for your family without using their money. But still, please control yourself.

Friends. To you, friends are priceless and more important than anything else. Keep up with this thought and never lose faith. Appreciate friends that are there for you all the time. To share your happiness and sorrows. There are times that you will meet friends that hurt you, but do not let if affect you. Stay strong and believe in yourself.

Relationship.Initially you thought it would be fine to be on a long-distance relationship, but as time pass, you began to doubt your thoughts and it was never the same anymore. There's no turning back to the words that hurts and I know you won't forgive yourself for the mistakes you've done. Give a deep thought of what you really want and stop causing pain to the other party. Think of what he'd done for you and those that you went through together. It might be worth the wait.

Life. Life can be full of obstacles and things might not always turn out the way you want them to be. With the perseverance you have, i'm sure you will be able to go through it and do the best out of it. Stop saying you're the suey-est person on earth cause there are other people out there who does not have the blessings you're getting. Stop worrying about the future, about things that are not meant to be known. The time will come and you'll eventually experience it. For the time being, stop being emotional and live a happy life. Be a cheerful girl like you used to be.

Don't wanna keep you reading this letter anymore. Have fun in Birmingham for the New Year's celebration. Have a great new year ahead and have more luck. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hello 2011 =)

Yours truly
Casey.
