The blind leading the blind...


They've arrived! Not with much fanfare, but it was certainly great to see them again. We catched up till the wee hours of the morning i.e. approx 4am (the sky was already bright), and woke up at 9.30am this morning. I'm so damn tired now.

We went to Gamla Stan together and managed to catch some performance by the royal guards on their horses. The catch was, there was horse shit somehow strategically located such that they became the boundary where the spectators could stand. *haha* I wonder if it were on purpose, but I doubt it la. =P

Next, we walked towards Riksdagshuset (the last time I went there was in winter! like jan!) and Drottningatan, where Jo and Wen bought postcards for 1 SEK. I tot it was a steal! 1SEK! In my mind I was thinking, I should tell Huihua and she can go on a postcard frenzy. In the end, I realised that Huihua and Sharon already knew about this and there are other shops selling these postcards at 1SEK too. OK FINE.

We also visited the Stadhuset (Cityhall). It was beautiful. The garden was abit Istana like, with green grass patches and fountains; but definitely a notch up 'coz of the view of the lake in front of us.


Finally, we walked back towards the Royal Palace and bought hotdog (also a 5 mth hiatus) from 7-eleven for lunch. I had to rush back for brand management presentation at 2.15pm. It was already 1.45pm. I have no idea where I walked and soon I realised I was lost. Yes, in Gamla Stan (I went there like more than 3 times?). OMG! I SOS my fairygod mother Sharon to give me directions. Yea I managed to find the station but only after 2pm. *faint* You bet I was late for class.

It has hit upon me that I need to revisit my geography skills (map reading) and train my memory (it's fading at a rapid rate) before I really become a useless person.:(
