Maiden Ice-skating experience

#Some description of the weather today... Surprisingly, I saw the Sun in the morning when I stepped out of the house..Kim & I were like *Woah*! Tried to take pictures of the sun and after that we went straight to the tourist office to find out about where's IKEA.. Along the way, i did have my muffler on.. the wind was blowing non-stop though it's a sunny day... My ears were like freezing after 10 minutes of walk.. Alright, we then found out that there's a free shuttle bus to IKEA so we tried to coordinate the timing then decide to go have lunch, visit South of Stockholm and ending the day by ice-skating at near the Cityterminalen (city Hall)...

This is during the morning.. i doubt anyone can see the reflection of the sunlight on the buildings.. haha.. but i tried my best to capture that moment already.. hehehe...

# The lunch wasn't too bad... It's pasta and the restaurant has a very nice ambience.. It's typical of those scenes that we always see in movies.. People enter the restaurants, remove their coats and hang it at those stands that the cafe provides.. then they sit down by the candlelight to have lunch! That's damn cool! hahaha... We were discussing while dining that in europe, what you see on the menu is actually what you pay unlike in Singapore.. There's always taxes and they always write that in small fonts at the bottom.. SO BAD! When we were about to pay, we were contemplating to give tips but later we tot it's bad to leave just coins so in the end, forget about it... just go! hahaha

My food.. looks nice right?

After lunch, we decide to take the sub-way to the South since we bought the7-day unlimited travel pass.. (reminds me of the times in HK when BY,TL, Omma & me take trains non-stop) hahaha.. The south seems more quiet and more run-down.. we were saying perhaps the people there are not as well-off as those in the city itself... we did nothing in the south except walk around abit and WINDOW-SHOPPING! hahaha..

That's the Southern part of Stockholm.. it's called Soldermän!

#We then went to Ikea taking the free shuttle bus.. It was chaos at IKEA.. It's totally like the Singapore one except it's so much bigger... They have got different plans at different levels which means they present different home concepts.. It's beautiful! The thing about IKEA is, there's the famous meatballs! But we din't eat it cos we had a really full lunch... there's hotdogs as well.. Also, the IKEA sells a lot of things including clothes and food stuffs! It's really cheap... much cheaper than the ones in the supermarket! hahaha... Oh ya, on the journey to IKEA, we met this Swedish guy who chatted with us.. he told us he plays football then he injured his knee so he just went for operation... then we asked him where to get good Swedish food? He say he can cook for us.. hahaha.. Even left us his number and ask us to call him.. funny sia? We NOT STUPID! But we appreciate his help in explaining to us the weather in Sweden, wher to go skiing, wher to get cheap clothings etc etc.. hahaa...

#Next, we headed to the ice-skating ring which we saw the previous day! Reached there at around 6.15 then we skated for almost an hr before leaving.. Kim ice-skate once or twice b4 but she blades so she can move about quite easily but she can't do stunts and all that.. she can only skate and move about at a slow speed.. For me, it was the 1st time I tried ice-skating.. I just wanna shout out to all you guys out there.. PLEASE LEARN ROLLER-BLADING OR ICE-SKATING IN SINGAPORE! hahaha.. Cos if one day, you happen to visit Europe or the States, these activities are the ones that you do not want to miss out! hahaha.. it keeps you warm ice-skating in the cold! hahaha.. cos you are exercising and it's very romantic to bring your partner to ice-skating lor... that's what I saw at the ice-skating ring! Those ang-moh couples dating on the ice-skating ring! hehehe..

I did fall twice or thrice while skating.. But i really enjoy that experience.. I will find time to learn how to blade after I'm back in Singapore, I promise! hehehe... Alright, enuff of the words, let's c photos!
