I love this sculpture!!!!

This lovely piece of work (minus the grafitti) is located somewhere on a courtyard near round tower, and the sausage shop in Copenhagen town centre. It is partly hidden behind a big tree, and no one would notice it unless they are very nosy, or art lovers. (I am the nosy one.)

It is about 0.7 of actual human size. Put on a "real bench" for humans, you can in fact sit right next to them. Caught my eye immediately, as I felt "love" was the message. ... but as I looked closer....

I noticed it was a very old couple.

The man was bald.

The woman had her hair tied back. Very thin hair, presumably?
Holding each others hands....

But wait!!!! Did you notice her breast????

Her breasts had dropped to the level of her elbows. And the right side dropped more than the left!!!


KL... (if you are reading).. should be able to recognise this.
Breast feeding's side effects???

If you are right handed, you will cradle your baby in such a way that the head(heavier part), would rest around your right elbow/ arm area, and therefore baby would suckle your right breast......???

Am I brilliant????? Hahahaa......

Ok, I admit the part I love best in this sculpture is her breasts. However, I find the expressions on their faces really touching, and very real. The body language says it all. Love, respect, communication, companionship.

Beautiful piece of work.....

This is a sausage shop. Unfortunately it was closed when I was there. They close shops on Saturday afternoons, that is why they have good quality of life.

The sausages. The two wooden thing are the handles of a pair of axes. Unfortunately, the axes were so polished and glittery that my hand phone did not manage to capture a good picture with them in.

One of the "passageways" off main Stroget street. As usual, the interesting things are in the side street and alley ways.

My handphone's camera is definitely no good. It was much prettier actually, with hints of yellow, orange and red in the creepies.

Took this picture in Nyhaven. I was wondering what it is. I was amused by the sculpture of a "king"(??) with many women surrounding him in a rather erotic way. And what are the children doing there???


I think they should put an AIDS prevention advert next to it. :P

Thames walk

Would you believe it that after almost 1 full year in London, I have not done the Thames walk?

Nope.

I have not been to the Borough Market, Tate Modern or that Shakespeare Globe thing?

So, yesterday, I bullied/threatened/persuaded hubby to go with me.

We went to the Borough Market at Southwark which is famous by its variety of stuff and plenty of samplings. Honestly, I think that it is overrated. True, it has those wild mushrooms and organic vege range that is quite hard to find elsewhere, but th other stuff are pretty usual, and can be found in most supermarkets.

The samplings are mostly from the cheese stalls.

My hubby thought that we faced discriminations. Noticed a few times that these people had been busy handling out samples, but when it is our turn, and we walk forward, they turned away and did not offer the samples which they have to all the whites before us!

Racial discrimination? or..... mere co-incidence?? It happened in about 3 stalls.

I am not sure, but was quite certain it was.

Well, but then again, I notice a few 2 different Chinese gals(no, not from china. I suspect they are from the spore!!!! ) who did disgusting things.

• One happily "sampled" a fruit from a basket which was meant for sale after happily pinching and wondering aloud what it was when the stall holder look away. Desperate.
• Another happily flipped and squeezed people's stuff and then quite shamelessly take repeated helpings of samples without even a "thank you".

Do they despise us and discrimnate against us because of our behaviour of because of our race??

Sigh................

After parting with £3 to buy a few pieces of hand made chocolate truffles (YUMMM), we took the Thames walk towards the TATE.

We walked past the CLINK. yeah. The CLINK was the most "notorious" prison and is now a money making tourist attraction, and the origins to the phrase of "going to the clink". :)
I did not bother to go in. Bad aura around the area-sadness, darkness which had not been entirely shed off. I was happy to walk off quickly.

The Tate Modern building had a middle tower/finger sticking out, and probably the ugliest museum building in London. From far, it looks like a brown fist with a middle finger stuck out. I complained to hubby that my mind had been irreversibly damaged by that Mr Brown and his Code.

There was a big crowd at the Tate, and a long queue for the "slides". I did not have guts to try. Did not want to make headlines-

"woman stuck in the Tate's slides. Art piece damaged."

The art pieces in the Tate, as expected of "modern art", were rather "thought provoking", with lots of opportunities for the "fertile mind" to run wild. Enough said.

The day would have been perfect if it ended with a show or two at Covent garden, but yours truly had PMS. Crampy legs, crappy mood. So.. off we went to Chinatown to buy groceries (what else), and go home.

Damn hungry when I reached home. Had gastric pain. And the two As were purposely doing a slow motion with their dinner.

I saw the smirk on that stupid A's face as he cut his cucumber it slow motion(It was a real cucumber, I wished it was the other one). I was too tired to fight. Otherwise, I would bring out a pan and start heating my sambal belacan, and make them run out of the kitchen!!! Hahaha....

I only had dinner about 2 hours later, when they are done with it. And that time, was was rolled over with stomach pain, and no longer felt hungry. Poor me... sob sob

Some photos taken at the Bristish museum in Spring 2006

This is the "court yard" of the british museum. The museum is HUGE, and have lots and lots of displays. Hubby was so bored to be pulled into a museum that he let off guard!! He said that the display is not as good as that one in New York, the New York one has more things to see!!!

I was so angry, that i decided to give him THIS: BIG, HARD, PUNCH!!! , (which had been stolen/robbed carted back by the British from Egypt. How they did it, I wonder. Must have used lots of slaves workers).

He dumped me at home while he went to the Big apple with his friends, and told me I missed nothing. There WAS NOTHING to see in NY, NOTHING INTERESTING in NY!



This is THE roof, which i am nuts about. Haha. When I get a digital camera, I will take a photo of the roof, and use it as my screen saver.
More slabs of huge stones artistic work from Egypt. More slaves work involved. When I look at this Egyptian fella's pharoah's hairstyle, it reminds me of my own hairstyle in Primary 1-3. I did not know my mum had such big hopes for me. Err, is it a pharoh? Why got busts?
