The good and the bad.

Let's start with the good. I learnt how to bake a cake from Victoria our pastry queen, it's some kind of a sour cheese cake, really nice, crispy on the outside and really soft and cheesy on the inside. Not very sweet. And fresh from the oven. Fantastic. I've not tried yet but at least I got to know how it is made. 

2 nights ago, we had some kind of a Catalonian dinner with some of Sergi's friends who came over from Catalonia and brought some stuff over like deep fried pork fillet with cheese. It was really good. And I got to try some really good cheese, some sausages made from eggs, some eggs, chopped up baguette with tomato puree and oil, and some spaghetti which Sergi said 'contained some pork blood'. It tasted damn nice. I forgot to take pictures of the dinner with everyone else, but I took some from the leftovers below.

Eggs and cheese

Let's start with bad. See that thing? It appeared in my room. And for your information, my room is perfectly neat and tidy, I don't need such guests in my room. It was dangling at the wall where I normally put my feet and the mere grotesque notion of it crawling on my feet made me cringe with absolute repugnance. I hate spiders, centipedes and scorpions and this one was especially huge. It looked like a baby tarantula, and gross I have nightmares of them once every month. Looks like nightmare became reality on Wednesday morning. 

Funny thing was, I chased it under my door with my broom and it DISAPPEARED. That's the worst thing. If it had died I could sleep peacefully. Now I'm paranoid that it's gonna treat my face as a playground at night or my gloves as its bedroom. Please get out of my room. Forever. I swear if i see it again i am going to smash it with my 3kg Mathematical programming textbook (since i hate this module as well.) I spared its life once and it should know better than to return. Today I saw a baby one and I threw it out of my window into the snow. Good luck. Pay rent next time.

Secondly, my bicycle tyre punctured. I shall say no more.

And lastly, I think i have to postpone my london trip. Because I didn't consider the trip from Copenhagen to Billund and back, which cost and astounding 650DKK ++, ~approx SGD180. I found cheaper flights from CPH to London itself and Ankit and I were thinking of starting our Eurolines journey there during the Easter break. So looks like I have to miss my Ryanair flight and lose my SGD55. Sigh. I need a good sleep to recover from this. Without things on my face.
