first few days in finland

saying goodbye
thank you everyone who came to send me off. i really appreciate it. thank you mum and dad and bro. muacksz. thank you aunt bel for all the winter clothings. thank you mummy and daddy for ur love always. =)

the plane
i couldnt slp throughout, so after the entire flight, i felt like a zombie. Transitting at london gave me troubles, we were only allowed one hand luggage and i had to squeeze 1 bag into the other.. and wear all the winter clothings so that the things in my 2nd bag and the 2nd bag can fit into my 1st bag. sigh. but in the end, we got a good officer who closed one eye on my cannot close luggage. ha...

matti's hse
yeah we stayed over at meiqing's tutor's house on the first nite cos the offices onli opens on the 2nd of jan. his bed is damn shiok.. very soft and i finally got some good slp! he is very shuai to me btw. haha.. will upload pics another time. too sian and tired now... anyway, he made us tea, cut fruits for us, and cooked lunch for us! (spag with chicken and tomato sauce) yummy. not bad. =)

separated from meiqing and daryl
because my hostel is in helsinki and their hostel is in espoo(which is in school) , so we had to go separate ways to get our keys and stuff. haha.. i cannot really understand my tutor cos he speaks with a weird slang... but i just laugh and nod. haha... now in my room now, very lonely, abit scared. think i will ask fuxiang over to accompany me. its really quite quiet. Non of my room mates have arrived yet... sob..

the elevator
very old fashioned! its like those with doors, then you close the doors then the lift will move. hehe... interesting.

the weather
its not very cold yet. only 2 to 5 deg now... but its gonna get colder..

price of things
very very ex loh. travelling cost 2 to 4 euros (so far for the trains i've taken). which is 4 to 8 sing dollars! haizz... food is ex too, but heard that can get cheaper food in campus.

finland itself is cool. When i first stepped into the airport, it felt homely. (unlike london)
