nose bleed again

sigh.. this is the 3rd time le.. and it happened when i was sleeping. I have really been drinking alot of water already. dunno why still like that. Very scared that it will be often.. then there is really something wrong with me.

Its bad on weekends, shops are closed!! Luckily the school's supermarket is still opened. So unlike singapore... on sundays, people are on a shopping spree.. I miss singapore. papa, mama. I miss them so badly. And i miss the local channel 8, 9 pm shows. I miss project superstar. I miss the food in singapore already too.

helsinki...

Been walking around helsinki central and familiarising myself with the place. One shocking thing I found out was, only one departmental store has free toilets, and the rest have to pay to get in... and it cost 1 euro just to pee! oh manzz... yup, and we didnt know that today is a holiday in finland and happily went to helsinki central. Stockmann ( the departmental store) was not opened! But we sort of cheated to get into the toilet... there is no one collecting the money, we have to insert the money into the door then the door can be opened. So we just waited outside the door for the person inside to open the door so that we can enter for free. haha...

The weather is slowly starting to get colder... just now there was ice formed on the ground already... so its abt 0 deg cel now. I suffered a terrible nose bleeding experience 1 or 2 days ago. it was really scary cos i dunno when it will stop and it really did take quite a long time to stop. And when i lift up my nose abit, i started to cough out the blood through my mouth with "tan". very scary. luckily daryl was with me.. =)

Daryl has been cooking for us... cooking is so much cheaper than eating out. But we are always almost cooking the same stuff... meatballs, FROzen veg (not frozen one very ex), ham and spagetti in tomato sauce.. ewwW... missing singapore food already..

some photos...

the four of us, at matti's house on the 1st day

admin stuff to do

jan 03, went to do all the admin stuff. went to sch to register and see the school, then to the registrar office to register as citizens so that i can buy the travel card etc etc. Couldnt have done all of these in 1 day without the help of my tutor. But still, i wanna complain him!! cos he always answer out of point when we ask him questions. Not onli that, i thnk he is weird too. He helped me and fuxiang buy burger for lunch and didnt even ask us which one we wanted. In the end I bite one mouth... oops, beef. sigh. had to change to burger. its like he just went straight to buy n never tell us that he is buying for us too. And he did alot of other weird things. And i cannot really understand his english... argh.

After a whole day, i asked daryl to come over my place. It was a really tedious trip for him. he spent alot of $ calling for help =( and had alot of difficulties finding. And his hands were so cold because he had to use one hand to press the hp buttons and call. Yea, we cant survive without a pair of gloves. exposed to the air for maybe 1 min, we will feel our whole hand numb. It will be worse when its -20 deg cel.

still trying to get use to the life here, and getting to know how to travel to places... =) more upcoming~~

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)

upsetting

stupid hairdresser.. tell her not to cut my hair she still cut. cut until so short. super upsetting. N she rebonded my hair until so messy!! im really upset. sigh. *scream*

singapore turf club

Went out for dinner with my jc friends, then I went back to the spec shop to collect my specs but the uncle closed shop for 3 days. Don't know why. Anyway after that I decided to follow my dad to the Singapore Turf Club to see see... Cos my mum is working there. Wah, the horses are really beautiful!! So shiny and pretty. It was fun to see them race... and all the uncles and gamblers are shouting for their horse numbers. Me and my dad tried to predict and played for 3 races too. But all the tickets got "eaten away". Its really hard to guess which horse is going to win... Though it was interesting to look at the horses and stuff, its a place which I think I would not step in again because the air is really bad. I think 99.999999% of the pple there smoke, and I could hardly breathe. The 0.000001% is me lah. It was really quite terrible cos i was trying to find a single spot that i can breathe good air and there wasnt any. ha...

more pics!! yumyum

my prince!!!!

oh man.... i think im too old to get crazy over an idol.. but Im really crazy!!! im just halfway watching the "gong" vcd. N im going mad over li lu.. the prince in the show! His korean name is kim jeong hoon. He is super super prince! cannot take it, saliva all over the mouth le. hahahah... Here is a pic of him. Guess he is every girl's dream bai ma wang zi.... when he is upset:
isnt he cute? super cute? super duper lovely? hehe

congrats me!!

i wonder if im still dreaming?? I got the SEP award!!! yeahyeah... just when I least expected it, it came!! still don't know how much I am awarded, but being awarded is already enough! =) yeah... didn't put my beautiful photograph to waste. That was my last passport size photo that I liked the most. When i took it i didnt have so many pimples as compared to now. Now i really look terrible.

yeah... im happy!!

A good break, finally

It has been 2 months since I last posted. Such a long time. Been really busy completing projects in school and studying for exams. Alot of Ups and dOwns these few months, quite tiring. I was very affected by my mid term tests and stuff that I sort of went really crazy for a few days. Think I affected the people around me alot that time, especially my parents and daryl. Well everything is over now, finally I can have a good break after exams.

Quite happy, but at the same time, I am also preparing my stuff to bring over to finland for half a yr. Don't know how much clothes I should bring also. And my mum has been spending alot of money on me, buying me the thermal wear, gloves, the BIG jacket... I have already spent near 2000 including insurance and stuff, eXcluding the air ticket. that's why i really hope to get the NUS sep award, but my hope is gone. The supposedly week that they should release the results is over, and i didnt receive any email. Sigh. My poor parents, spending so much on their little girl.

Alot of things to talk about, but dont really wanna put them down le... too tired. haha. But i will update my blog quite often (i hope) when i m in finland. To leave memories for myself and to update my friends and parents whom I will surely MiSS like crazy....

birthdays and more to come

pin xiu's birthday...
cosy little party at her own house.. actually i should have done tt too.. wats the point of spending $ and squeezing in a little chalet at pasir ris? hehe...

Weiling's birthday... she didnt hold any party so me and yanjun celebrated for her at the "village" at hereen... Its the restaurant that replaced marche. super copy marche... the environment is exactly the same. We had the chocolate fondue there.. not too bad, but they way the choc was made was a little disgusting.. its white fresh milk mixed with chocolate chips.. the food was not too bad.

backgroud is fake.. oh i look terrible, didnt sleep for 2 days cos of an assignment.. sigh. in the end our lecturer extended the deadline anyway.. hai

where was i the whole september? busy studying loh. go school... come home.. do tutorials, projects etcetc. Nothing fun and exiciting... only sad stuff..

daryl's uncle passed away just a week ago.. it was realli realli sad. He was healthy and fine, and all of a sudden he is gone. He had a burst blood vessel at his brain. And went into a coma and a few days later gone le... only 54 years old. Its like.. you dunno when you're gonna die. What happens when u die? u cannot see your loved ones any more.. never get to say your last words. And where do you actually go to? Can one actually see the living after he dies? So scary... And his poor wife.. cry until so ke lian. She is very heartbroken.. i can feel it and i feel very super sad for her too. And the children too. =(

oh i wanna complain... i got this super pathetic lecturer who doesn't give lecture notes, doesnt lecture, and doesnt care whether we realli understand or not.. the lessons are conducted by the class. veri sian. hate his stupid and lazy face.

finally, updates

so long since i last blogged. Guess no one would visit my blogsite anymore.. haha... today meiqing just reminded me that i've a blog so here i m, blogging.

This semester im taking 6mod, a total of 4 projects... sobsob. But i think i will s/u one of my mods.. and i really hate this human resource module. the assessment consists of 20% class participation. =( and i havent even spoke up during the first lesson. Its really affecting me alot, lowering my happiness level. I was actually quite happy to start a new sem after such a long hol and until i know i've to take this sucky mod.

Met a small group of my jc frens at shaun's birthday party... Guess they all havent changed much.. still as vj-ish as ever. havent been keeping in touch with them. my jc class... not united... Well, the food was good at his party at his dad's restaurant, but came too slow, by the time the main course came, we were abt to leave.. abt 9 plus already.

just changed sand for my hermit crab yest... guessed my two little crabs have grown quite close to each other. always see them lying next to each other =) oh. there was one day i thought vonvon died cos its shells were broken and lying around. after that i found that it was because it was moulting! haha... scared me!

daryl bought me SE k800i!! hehe... quite a few weeks ago le. so happy, still very happy!!

hermit singh

yeah! i finally got my pets... their names? dadar and vonvon.. hehe. and they have nick names too! The hermit crabs live in shells.. (duh) and i bought extra shells for them because the uncle said that they will outgrow their shells so have to standby bigger shells. The shells have designs on them... i bought one with a football design, sheep design, singapore flag, ghost and shark.. the 2 crabs that i bot live inside the sheep and football shells... the funny think is that.. the moment i look at them when i reached home, the football one has already changed its shell to the singapore flag one which is bigger than the football shell! Too bad i didnt witness the changing of the shell... sigh.. and the football shell is wasted because its too small le. And tat is why dadar is nicknamed hermit sing...h. Ai guo.. haha.

They are still very shy, keep hiding when they see me...

tioman has been an ok trip.. cos it was rather small and therefore boring. But the ppl whom i went it make it better bahz. took alot of photos, which was fun... and swam with fishes too. got baked in the sun for onli one day, because the first day weather wasnt that good.

my 2nd yr anniversary with daryl was simple and nice... went out to sing k lunch and then walked ard and eat dinner. but he took leave specially for me so i am quite touched. Why onli quite? cos as usual.. he did it becos i requested it... better than none i guess.

In the end, I decided not to quit my job.. having a job is better than floating around and having nothing to do. Afterall, I'm sort of enjoying the fact that I dont have to work everyday, only like 2 or 3 times a week. Its quite enough for me... not too tiring.

Im going tioman next week le... heard that there is nothing much to do there except to see see and take photos. But at least this is the first time im going overseas with friends only! This wld also be a good time to catch up with meiqing n steven too. Quite looking forward to it... Havent seen pinxiu for quite a long time too.

July is a month of birthdays... mingwai, xiao xuan... actually not alot of pple but the both of them are enough to kill. haha... my two good friends turning 21 ... joining the club le. Excited to celebrate their birthdays for them!

world cup world cup---- who will win?? i think france will win. haha.. cos they beat the unbeatables BRAZIL.. my beloved england lost le.. now i support france. And i turned into a gambler le.. haha.. been betting on those matches nowadays.. think i bet about 8 matches le.. and i won 3 times only. But overall there is some winnings la... quite fun loh. Lose then lose, if win can win a few bucks mah. =) i always bet the minimum, 5 dollars. haha.. maybe im going for a bigger one for the finals.

jj rocks forever

i love junjie!! hehe... fell in love with him le.. after his concert. What can i say? it was fantastic and entertaining.. just hearing him sing melts my heart. love his voice, his talent, his looks.. so boiboi! =) too bad from my seat i can only see a small figure moving around, gotta look at the screen all the time. But its already the most expensive seat le...

feel like quitting my current part time job le. Very tiring everyday, plus school holiday has come to an end, there will be lesser working hrs for all of us and more ppl available for work too cos the ite ppl are having sch hols soon. And that day.. i lost $101.10 doing cashier... sigh. Im so so so careless, although i already told myself to be very careful le. So stupid lah... Have to pay all by myself. Florence gave me 20 bucks to help me.. i didnt want it but then she insisted. If i quit now, i will feel very dui bu qi her too. Something like, she is trying to help me, so that i feel better and will be happier here too? And also, because of my shortage, zuoping wenhao and hisyam tried to help me in the end they get scolded for helping me cover part of my shortage without letting flo know... sigh. I lian lei them le... they also dun wan me to quit n wanted to pay for me too. So how? dunno whether i can still quit or not.

Just came back from hongkong about 3 hours ago. yea! it was quite a nice trip... and i think that the best part of it was the disneyland! I haven't been to other disneylands before so i cannot compare, but i think that it is really wonderful and pretty! It very magical and really well-built. I loved the fireworks the most... so many colours and disney music was played at the same time. The rides are ok only, as most are for children... but some of the children rides are very amazing as well, especially the winnie the pooh's story. The disney parade was also fantastic... so unforgetful! Luckily it only drizzled abit on that day, if not we would have wasted the trip there. Loved the disneyland. beautiful castle, pretty buildings everywhere.






Well the other 2 days are spent shopping, but i didnt get to buy much, cause the things there are really expensive. Their standard of living is higher than sg... the food.. not really to my liking, but still considered nice. At least the stalls that i went to, the wanton noodle no chilli one.. (so i dont like) and most of the noodles cost at least hk20.. converted wld be about 4 or 5 bucks.. so its like more ex than sg. All in all... i had an enjoyable time there with my parents, my grandma, little cousin n my auntie =)

cashier?

today's my first day doing cashier alone... and i kena shortage already... very sian... but luckily got my supervisor help me. he counted everything for me and helped me top up 14 out of 22 bucks so that i dont have to pay so much. so sweet. Like daddy coming to his daughter's rescue.. he saw i looked stress.. even told me not to cry.. haha...

have to go pack for hongkong liao..last min!! update again when i come back...

work

3 days of work.. 2nd day was boring, tiring and saddening.. cos i made a mistake, and 3 ppl have to come n nag... sigh. stupid me... felt veri demoralised and was so damn tired cause i stood for like 10 hrs. 3rd day of work was fun, why? haha.. cause i had the chance to learn to be cashier! (and sit down!!) Learnt how to use the nets, visa n master machines. But im scared of being cashier alone, cos have to deal with so much money alone. i scared im absent minded n blur. N also, got eye candy. hahhahaa.. eye candy only la..
