1st March 2014 - Alice's ROM

新年回来Alice就告诉我说她要结婚了~
如果她不是水瓶女,我真的会吓了一大跳

当天是我辞职后的第一天,我竟然忘了带出新加坡关卡是要用的‘Employment Pass’
>.<
是的,我知道有passport就可以,但问题是我的指纹很浅,一般都不能通过的
结果当然是被卡在出口了,被关卡的警员领到一旁去,等了10分钟都还没来帮我处理出关的事
最后情急之下,我告诉关卡说我要结婚了,请赶快让我过关!!!



有惊无险的,我们赶在中午12点前抵达新山福建工会的婚姻注册所



Alice & Nicholas





神圣的一刻


礼成,在此正式宣布你们为合法夫妻~

有人说,婚姻是爱情的坟墓,我倒觉得没有婚姻的爱情,连个坟墓都没有,要死无葬身之地,那岂非更可怜?
有了婚姻,人就开始有担当、有兑现承诺的勇气、有怕死的心情、有甜蜜的负担、有勇于磨合的耐性,这是一个成长,是埋葬你天真的时刻~
我对每一个能踏入婚姻红地毯的朋友都抱着羡慕的眼光,能在这茫茫人海当中找到自己的另一半,并决定携手共度人生的下半辈子,那是多么不容易的事啊~ 
因为我知道不是每段感情的付出都会有所回报的,或许我是个比较容易付出的一方,但最后我还是希望有人会给我回应,哪怕是很微弱的声音也好~ 
所以能为好友做他们的爱情见证人对我而言不是见证了一段承诺那么简单,我还见证了我们的友情~

13rd March - Risoyhamn

 My work exchange duty task today - clean the bathroom

 They have a big main bathroom at 1st floor

 And some cloths to fold after clean

Then I  make myself the lunch with their food in the fridge
Some host, they will make you the food but some are not, as Heidi & Swan are working from morning to evening, I as their helper live in their house need to help them the house chores and make myself the lunch

 They have a 10 years old mixed blood collie like to look out to the window regularly, I wonder what is she looking for...

 They have a small playground outside the house for the kids

 We have snowing on morning
This my 1st snow ever

Their youngest son Petter is sick today, he is at home with me
I can't communicate with him but I use translation to asked him whether he is hungry or what drink he prefer >.<
Petter don't drink plain water, he like chocolate milk and coke
I wonder how can he recover from fever with that kind of drink only??
Are they so much different with us?


Tifa is Heidi's lady dog, border collie but not the pure blood
No matter what she is, still a lovely one
She is 70 dog years old (10 years for man)
She will request to go out for pee everyday, but most of the time is because she not really like to stay at home ^.^
We play throw and pick when we both outside, she is just a lovable lady ^.^

 The house in the middle is where the main house, the red house on the right are rented to a family, and the car porch on the left is Swan's office located on the roof top of building

 The sea and the mountain in front of the house

 We have a cold night today, Heidi light up the firewood in the stove to warm the room

 Petter, their youngest son are so happy with drawing

 According to Heidi, the storm tonight name: Kyrre
It might cause electric cut off if the storm is too strong, therefore she light up all the candle in the house, in case the power shock happen~

People do all this due to the condition; but most people they are monkey see monkey do

11th March - Harstad to Risøyhamn

Night before 11th March~

I don't have the meal on cruise but only a cabin for overnight, therefore, I bought my dinner with NOK 119, a plate of fish & chips




Morning of 11th March~

I left Harstad on the morning, again >.< Cross finger for the good weather then I can meet Heidi in Risoyhamn today. From the port, the Harstad city look like this~ not crowd and snow everywhere

From the cruise, all the way along the sea is mountain cover by snow, it's winter now

 The life jacket wearing method just outside my cabin door

 My breakfast on the cruise


 An egg, 2 plates of ham, salmon, hotdog, beetroot, vegetables, and 1 glass of chocolate milk
 I have my breakfast with the breath taking view out of the window



 Lobby of the cruise


 Risoyhamn port

 Tonight, Heidi and her husband Swan has brought 4 of us (Elisa, Nicholae, Petter & Me) to a Sortland pizza restaurant.
I have to say, they Italian pizza really nice ^.^
As the pizza is really thin in the bread, normal adult can eat 8 pieces in one time
Heidi order an adult pizza for me and I make an exchange with Nicholae the small size for children >.<

 This my room downstairs

 The living room
Heidi & Swan used to store something downstairs

 My private toilet & shower room

 My bed & a sofa

 I will say it's cold but cozy to me ^.^

Harstad - Risoyhamn

My 1st host in Scandinavia, a very warm welcome by Mr Frode & his partner Faith

We have breakfast together on the morning I took my ship to Risoyhamn

Another shock await for me....
I took the wrong ship as 2 ship is parking on the port
I took the one with the ship logo same with my printed boarding pass, do not alert that every ship has it's own name on the body which same with the name of ship on the boarding pass

Again, I rush to another ship parked beside this in allowed 5 mins before they closed the gate....

Boarding successfully!!!
 View from the ship to City of Harstad
We has been warned by the crew the weather today is not good
They asked me whether wanna change my plan if they can't board in Risoyhamn
I don't get what they mean to 'change' my plan
Insisted to board the ship and going to meet my 1st work exchange host in Risoyhamn

Lofoten - the ship I boarded

 Hopefully, this is just a fake skin & skull of a polar bear
Hunting polar bear is prohibited as I known
The ship supposed to arrive Risoyhamn by 10.30am
But the announcement came out on 10.15am saying they failed to board Risoyhamn and change their plan to Bodø

That's another shock to me... 
Bodø is far away at South contrary with the direction of mine in North

We have at least 4 people complain in peace regarding the new arrival point
How are we going to proceed our plan if the ship bring us farther than our original destination?

Some of the passenger had already booked their flight ticket or hotel in Svolvær not far away from Risoyhamn

Finally, they return to Harstad for good, cross finger
and I asked for tomorrow another ship from Harstad to Risoyhamn again

The receptionist of Lofoten are so kind to help me called my Risoyhamn host reagrding the delay of my schedule due to the bad weather today
She even help me arrange another ship to go in Risoyhamn on tomorrow

 I just never expect I'm going to board a cruise transfer from only a ship


  A cruise with 9 stories in total

 Deck area the top

They even have a viewable room of sauna


 And a hot Jacuzzi on the deck area
Which I can't even bear the chill while only taking a photo outside here
I think Irish will like this 

My cozy little cabin they gave me tonight, as I failed to board Lofoten and have no place for over night
What more can I said to Hurtigruten beside 'Thank You'?
