Start of the Journey...

Busy Packing on Sunday... lots of things seems unpacked and alot of last minute packing going on... but well still managed to packed all i need into that luggage which weighs a bit more than 30 kg.. :)

Had dinner with family at Crystal jade after dinner... simple chinese dinner... but it'll be 5 mths before i can taste a good chinese dish.. :(

Met up with quite a few friends who came to send me off... thanx for making the effort to come down guys!!! Also need to thank all those who send me goodluck sms... and also not forget Rakkaia, although none of the freshies came.. wahahaha... but well, the video was nice.. :) (Dun say names better.. later leave out some ppl then not too nice... hehe)

There's this weird feeling coming over me while walking through the gate... no i didn't cry... but i can't help but have this sad feeling about all the things i'm leaving behind... However, i'm also excited about all the new experience i can gain...

Plane Journey was pretty tiring... 13 hours flight to Amsterdam... to my surprise, i thought the food served by KLM was pretty good... flavour wise.. packaging wise... i quite like it all... Took a few pictures of the food with Anthony's camera but he didn't bring the cable to transfer the data so couldn't post it now... (probably have to wait till after sep... lol)

After the tedious 13 hrs flight, we finally arrived at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport... didn't have much time to really explore the airport... only left about 40 mins to walk around a bit and then check in... kinda waste.. but it's ok... i'll be making another trip to Amsterdam... heard that it's a very nice city... :)

More food while on the plane to Copenhagen... and yea i finished it all... wahahah!! And after exiting the custom... we met our Danish Buddy, Mikkel who will bring us to DTU... basically we have to take 2 trains, one from airport to Copenhagen Central Station. Then change train to Lyngby Station... Here's the tricky part... to change the train.. we have to change train platform.. and guess what.. the escalator going up is spoilt!!! omg... and yes... we have to carry our 40+ kg UP THE STAIRS... sigh... they don't have lift sadly... so me and poor Anthony are both struggling to carry our ultra heavy luggage up... haha...

Getting keys for my hostel room was pretty smooth process... (except that we have a long queue) Just ask for it at the counter, pay the rent... and i can check in... now here's the 2nd trick... We didn't really know how to get to the hostel... so we asked for directions... and either the directions are wrong... or i've heard wrongly.. after walking for quite sometime, we realised we are walking in the wrong direction!!! imagine.. 40+ of luggage.. and now we have to back track!!! OMG... after much looking around and map deciphering... we finally got to our hostel...

In DTU, the campus village's hostel is split by letters... from A to Z... and within each container... there are 9 rooms, 2 bathrooms and toilets to share and a common cooking area.... Actually the place is quite comfortable... other than the fact that i keep hitting the wall while bathing... ahah... the interior of the room is really alot better than how the exterior looks... Overall it's pretty well equiped... Maybe just lacking a cook some cooking utensils... hehe

ok so much for my 1st day... now's the most important thing... my address!!! waahahahah!! if u guys feel a bit rich, i dun mind receiving letters, parcels and gifts!!! :)
