ok la i shouldnt do things half way rite? haha k i shall just back log..hope my memory can take me back time.
14 mar morning we went to the city centre. oh i forgot to mention abt gg to the market the day before and i bought some finnish food, pies with porridge-like filing which is super salty and the other with potato filing. we went to the nice tampere cathedral. then we headed towards the moomin musuem haha jenny is really crazy abt it. we din haf the time to enter the musuem though cos the shop alone has alot to see. i dun mind not entering the museum la cos i'm the one who needs to rush for the train wat, they dun haf to rush thru buying souvenirs and visiting the museum, so we took our time to laze ard in the shop, with jenny happily buying stuff haha. i only bought a stamp lor. then they accompanied me to the train station for the train to helsinki. amy, jenny, juan and eliz really thanks alot for taking time off to take me ard hervanta and tampere city centre! see ya all in rovaniemi.
on the train nothing to do, shall heed amy's advice to read up on helsinki from the book she lent me. cos the guys in helsinki wont take me ard one..so i better get some research done.haha...
reached helsinki train station...mervyn wasnt late! so amazing..haha then we took bus to his place in ermm i forgot the suburb name. the one they keep saying they are from and not helsinki whenever the gals say how lousy helsinki is, compared to tampere. faintz...and this fight never ends one lor..it continued thruout the trip..damn farnie la..
unfair! the room so big with its own toilet..win le..really like hotel lo. and ya finally met xz.haha never see in nus be4 leh. aiya but most of the time i dun look ard one wat so as usual. i want to slack one leh!!but was forced to attend merv's lesson. arghhh. and he keep saying very fun one la but after the lesson he say the fun teacher not there, else it'd been better. ok but anyhow it's an experience la. the class not the usual class, like some facilitation training seminar. well but it shows how impt gestures are during face to face conversation lo..then after play the scrupples game...ermm....weird game...i sounded so sincere then they dun believe me. anyway got one guy always kenna one..it's like it's impossible for him to do nice things.haha
ok after that we went to the grocery shop..now i feel fortunate that i sep in uk. all in finnish lor..how to buy food. didnt cook at home leh..how to differentiate just by looking at it? then we went back and cook dinner, good leh got rice cooker...i always got claypot rice lor in ncl. okie nice meal haha..but got some procedures and recipe mixed up for the chicken fillet la..damn farnie lor.. tbsp of eggs = eggs...as in i think the egg is meant for allowing corn flour to stick to it then will become breaded chicken...but there's no corn flour. so we make sambal chicken instead. but use paste one la..very idiot proof de.
after dinner really dun feel like gg out lor..in the cold somemore..but sighh haf to print the notes and maps..arghhh really dragged myself out of the cosy house lor..ok la but i also hai merv cos he has to bring me there..so sorrie...yea took a long time in the comp lab.till past midnight i think. but that's where i first time saw the venting machine with 60 eur cts coffee lor...cheapest i've ever seen outside sg so far le. finally after printing, ya really exploiting the ink and paper there lor, we went tour the sch haha at night omg. but think it's a total different view ba..most buildings are illuminated with dim lights. some really look nice..in the dark. interesting picture in the tunnel and another amazing frozen lake which looks more dangerous than the one in tampere. here the jetty makes me feel that the ice will give way any time under our feets.
