Pre Trip of a lifetime, Part 1

YWas trying my darn best to find out more about Denmark, norway, sweden, finland on google. from a singporean point of view, but i realized that not many blogs have the answers for me or reviews from websites that could help me.

Prelude
Let's start with what made this trip even possible.

like all human, so many times, there were only talk and no action and a  trip to see northern lights so many times remain on the bucket list and never fulfilled even when we finally kick the bucket.

thus, my friend and her husband somehow decided to go for  package tour to finland for the northern lights, and knowing my bucket list, had asked me along. and 4 pax is easier for everything and at that point, the trip wasn't confirmed yet. thus, more people = better chance of going.

And so the story goes.

since i am already there. might as well travel to more nearby countries. thus embarking on this soloventure. my friends wanted to come as well. but limitation of leave and need to start work killed off their planning. And this is why it become solo.

finally after alot of  ding dong emails bouncing back n forth, i decided on my deviation flight which will be from sweden.

Route: Finland - Denmark - Norway - Sweden

Questions
What money do they use?
How cold is it?
What kind of shoes do i need?

Language?
Winter wear!
Shld i fly, train or ferry between each country?
I really want to backpack, don't expect me to help u buy branded stuff, unless you dont mind a crumpled, possibly crushed bag without box. But seriously, I'm not going to help any one buy anything for this trip. 

Countdown begins.

I shall attempt to blog daily or maybe once every 2 days. 

So far what I have gotten for this trip.

Since i saw the movie and that the banners are displaying it.

haha...

i might as well do a review for it.

i went into the theater expecting a mindless comedy. but it was a pleasant surprise that the movie turned out to be rather thought provoking.

it's more about relationships in families, with parents, with your partners.

it's about second chances, picking yourself up, going ahead with what feels right.

i think it just struck a cord in me that many people are 'lost' even when sometimes we are supposed to be 'adults'. becoz i feel the same way.

i'm not going to act all grown up and say i found my direction in life.

I am in a new business, interesting enough to engage me. but at the same time throwing me off balance in more ways then i could handle at times. feeling inadequate at times. something they din say when u really stepped out of ur comfort zone.

getting out of comfort zone can mean anything. like going into parenthood. new skill. new job.

oh well.. supposed to be a review and suppose to keep this blog within drawings, but oh well. =p

拼图

有时在想， 人与人的遇见，好像拼图。

不止限于人吧，可能我想说的是人生。

现在，处于一个我觉得我已经累了的地方， 好像两片不吻合的拼图勉强的拼在一起。

人与人， 我也一直在得罪人。 哈哈。 没办法。想什么就说什么。

其实，现在不理人比较多。因为，累。

觉得没能给他们欢笑，就不要拖累别人的心情。

我想念以前潇洒的我。
说走就走。
那种胆量。

不知道那个我跑去哪里了？

for those who have my opendiary add. I have deleted it permanently.

even tho I doubt anyone goes there anymore.

some issue just happened and well.... it had made me weary.

I cleared out my fb list too. need to clear out people who I can't remember, don't know, don't trust.

yea, when the world shrank into a this space called internet. it's not that good anymore.

till then. maybe I would consider shutting this down too.
