Ok, I wanna restart blogging. Haha...

I think this is like the 3 or 4th time I'm saying that. Haha. But anyway, I’ve been in Finland for like almost a week liao… it’s 6 hours behind Singapore’s time, but with the amount of sunlight here, I feel almost as if I’m still in Singapore’s time. Why? Cos the sun rises at around 9 to 10 am and sets by 4pm. Haha. So it’s now 6 pm, but it feels like 10 plus liao.

Anyway, it’s cold here… around 0 degrees C now. But it’s the warmest winter in the history of Finland… by right it should be -7 or lower by now. But it’s better for me like that! Haha I get some time to adapt, and I get to witness the change from no snow to snow! Haha. Today Daryl, Yvonne and I are so fascinated by the ice on the puddles. They look like glass on the road (potholes). Haha. And we are almost always “smoking” here! Haha, I’m still very amused by the ‘smoke’ coming out of our mouths here. Haha.

Anyway, I got pretty homesick two days ago. I think it’s combined with pms. Cried like a crazy woman. Hahaha. For a while lah, forgive me I’m a true blue girl. Haha. But I think I’m learning to adapt. Haha.

On ya, it’s very expensive here. Haha. Finland is the most or one of the most expensive places in Europe. Traveling here costs a bomb! Haha one trip on the bus costs like 3 euros (i.e. S$6). I can take cab in Singapore liao. Haha.

One thing that’s fantastic about here is that there are no creepy crawlies!!! Haha, no ants, cockroaches, lizards! Haha it’s too cold for them I guess. Haha. So my food and can place them anywhere. And oh ya, the fridge here doesn’t feel cold cos outside is so much colder! Haha, so weird hor? Sometimes I wonder if the fridge is cold enough cos it feels so different. Haha. And what do I eat here? Pasta and chicken and meatballs and frozen vegetables and bread. Hahaha. Food is expensive too, but the above things are cheaper. Haha so that’s what I eat. Oh ya! But I love the yogurt here. It’s very nice tasting. Haha duno how to describe. Haha.





By the way, I have a nice view from my room… I face the sea. But as it gets colder I think I’m going to suffer for my view. Haha. Cos it’s gonna be cold here! But I like my bed area, it’s very nice to do quiet time there. And cos it’s really quiet here (no insect sounds, nothing. Just stillness) you sorta feel closer to God when you read the bible here. =) And cos it's quite quiet here, I also feel abit scared, so I play music overnight (which I usually don't)... I play Hillsong stuff (13 hours of it. haha) and it feels better. Haha, and sorta some spiritual food in my sleep. Hee.
