An irrelevant story that happened earlier this evening...
Staff 1 : Miss, I lost my handphone... I left it on the reception table to charge, now no more there...
Me: Har??!! *thinking, "Who dare steal in the office?!"*
*faster faster rewind CCTV*
*waiting...*
*wait some more...*
*saw someone taking the phone!!!*
*GASP* Aiks... it's Staff 2...
*thinking*
Cannot be... cannot be... *although ownself not confident*
*calls up Staff 2*
*call not picked up*
*calls again 5 mins later*
Me: Hello, Staff 2, hey, just now you took whose phone har?
Staff 2 : Huh? *sounded a bit surprised*
Me : Neh, just now you kept someone's phone? *tries to "help"*
Staff 2 : Ohhh... I helped Staff 3 to keep her phone because she left it just like that at the reception table.
Me : But that's not Staff 3's phone! It's Staff 1's phone. Where did you put it?
Staff 2 : I told Staff 3 and she asked me to put inside her drawer.
Me : I see... OK, I call Staff 3 and ask her. Thanks.
*calls Staff 3*
Me : Hello... Ei, you go check your bag and see if you took home two handphones.
Staff 3 : Har??
Me : *explained what could have happened*
Staff 3 : Oh ya ya, Staff 2 told me that I left my phone somewhere, so I just asked her to put inside my drawer. But when I came back, I saw my phone was on the table.
Me : I see...
Staff 3 : Hang on, lemme check my bag.
*2 minutes later*
Staff 3 : Don't have la... I think it could be inside my drawer.
Me : But your drawer locked ler... OK nevermind, at least we know it's safe in your drawer. Thanks! *Phewwww...*
And because of this "case", I couldn't finish my entry just now. But it was a funny misunderstanding/miscommunication, wasn't it?

The next day was Sunday, 6th of May. We had buffet breakfast at the hotel. All of us were quite impressed with the spread but then after the 3rd day, it gets..... well, I'm sure you'd know what I mean if the same types of food stared back at you every morning... Nevertheless, I've 'learnt' to eat the hard/dry bread and I love it! Had to go to Ikea last Sunday to satisfy the craving for this type of bread. Haha...
Scandic Park's brekkie napkin...
Bread bread everywhere...
Smoked/boiled bacon/turkey ham,some pâté, zucchini, tomato, capsicum...
Yogurts. Everyday also got... and I'm NOT a yogurt person :( 
Mixed fruit salad and the other one, mixed berries salad? All types of berries! Strawberry, raspberry, lingonberry but served very cold!
This is Stureplan, sort of like our Bangsar equivalent, for the hip-hop-happening yuppies. There are quite a number of bars and restaurants here although we did not try any.
The 'Mushroom' is a popular meeting place here. This reminds me of a placein Hong Kong too. Was it at The Peak? Or halfway to The Peak?
Always a very popular location in TVB series.
What method of fishing do you call this?
We were told that some of these bicycles are "free". Huh, free?? Sure or not?But we have no idea how to 'take' the bicycle ler...
Kikare, is it true that it's FOC??
The building with flags is Stockholm Tourist Centre Sverigehuset (Sweden House), opposite it is NK aka Nordiska Kompaniet, a shopping centre.And right in front, TGIF.
This couple were waiting for the Sweden House to open, just like us...
Sunday morning's family outing.All mat saleh babies are mega cute!!!
The biggest chess set I've ever seen!
Although the sun is shining,but it sure is cold out there... brrrr...
One of the Royal Palace's guard...
Kungliga Slottet, Swedish's version of Buckingham Palace, I suppose.I didn't go in but my boss did because she loves museums.
So, me & Piglet went strolling on our own...
**Addendum @ 0210, 260507 : By the way, the Entrance Fee for the Royal Palace is 130 SEK, about RM70. Yes, it's like a museum. In 2006, I visited the Tower of London which cost me £13.50, which is about RM95 and I after about an hour, I finished jalan-jalan the whole place already although the tourist guide was saying, "You must go to The Tower of London and will spend at least a day there." A day?! So, Narrowband, that's why I didn't go into Kungliga Slottet ler...
**To Be Continued**

That kind of fishing looks like what Winn Liu Liu would do. I can already imagine her draped across the net..
You were right! Ain't no ABBA there wan! Cheated!
So, what happened to the handphone in the end?
*don't care.. PARTYYYY*

*puzzled look*
Wah, today your comments make me go like this o.O
Sigh! I already told you... nothing Abba-ish there also... I was keeping a lookout for it but.....
The handphone is still in the drawer (I think, I hope!) because Staff 3 sudah balik when I called her...
Errr... what party?
**********

I thought of having roti bakar for breakfast, but now that I see that ham, I might have ham instead! and fruit. and go riding on that dala horse...
finally..
i gotta be cheong hei again..
Kkkkk..
let me gather my thought first :P
The roti in mat salleh's countries is extra nice wan, unlike the one we have here. I enjoyed eating bread when i visited europe leh..
Too bad i didn't really take photos in the past...
wondering siapa tu Hanami, u know lah.. i tarak tengok jepun kia nor korea kia show wan :P
using that fishing method can surely catch the gigantic sotong wan.. might be sotong man of Pirate of the Caribbean's too.
*giggle*
I want free bicycle..
I love cycling leh..
Miss those cycling days..
I want I want :(
Those chess set looks like plastic bags from afar? Penang has gigantic chess set too, inside Youth Park. Gal, u haven't balik kampung for long-long time liao!! *Giggle again*
See? I cheong hei or not?
cos i lup u mah...
Kkkkkkkkkkk...
*go eat breakfast liao*
wah.. my comment up there so long geh?
really cheong hei.. :P
*gasp at Chechen's hei*
kam!
lets pork pork my head...
*wink wink*
Bring me there!!!
Bring me there!!!
Waaaaaaa
I love touristy breakfasts! Such a break from normal M'sian ones.
Hahaha... if the Swedes give me free bicycle also I kennot ride leh.
How come the Swedish Royal Guard not as 'smart' looking as the England ones?
Wah, more fun in Sweden! Why no pictures of hot Swedes? Didn't you look around at th very good-looking specimens? Those cute babies turn into some really hot guys, ya know :P
Almost got whiplash in Stockholm.
bila next post?
I wanna cheonghei again..
Kkkkkkk..
inherit the hei from the i-prof :P
yorrrrrrrr!!!! so nice hor~!!!
the fishing thing is as big as the satelite dish.. my gudness~
ang moh babies super mega ultimate infinity yatta-ity cute!!! *cubits muka baby~*
yerrr i wanna go holiday also :((
itu swedish breakfast boleh lar....gua can survive on bread, fruits and juices punya.
wah...you learned to pronounce all the Swedish names. kinda of a tongue-twister for me.
the FOC bicycles locked to the metal bar? din check and see whether got coin-slot to release the lock.
i am also not a big fan of museums. one hour max can tahan, after than the mind go melayang-layang liao.
have a great weekend!
am i responsible for every question related to the Vikings now?!
so about the free bikes. i haven't read about them doing it in sweden, but somewhere else in europe (think it's holland), they do let people use bikes for free as a way to discourage driving etc, so it's possible that Sthlm is trying out the scheme.(the assumption is you don't take it home!)
but basically, everyone/household here has a bike. don't you think it looks so cool to see folks biking through the city?
back to the breakfast - so you've tried and like the knäckebröd la? they do taste better than they look! and super healthy. yoghurt is a staple item in breakfast and people eat it with muesli (instead of milk). the swedes may eat rather unhealthy dinners (lots of meat and potatoes, not much veg), but their breakfasts are really wholesome and balanced.
Wah! so song lah your holiday.
Love those bread!
Thanks for sharing the pics. :)

Yalah, all the museum lovers will go read every word written on the exhibits!! I cannot do that lor...

**********
Dear kikare,...
Haha... oopsie... haha, I have NO choice because you are the ONLY one here who's living in Viking Land! :p
Thank you for the info on the bicycle... Yeah, I was thinking, what if people ride the bicycles home??
So, do you have a bicycle too? And ride it as well?
Yes yes! I love knäckebröd! So many types! Oh, and I think Swedes love cinnamon too? Oh yeah... muesli with yogurt... I saw some of them eating that and thot it looked a bit... errr... ok, better don't say it out... :p
Anyway, thanks for answering and feeding us with more Viking info!

Oh yeah... I forgot I sent you guys a second one... :p You are welcome!
