Life of a guy called....

It's the weekend again...

Today, marked my 89th day here, which means exactly 1 month more.. Wooo Weee.. Time kinda "fly" during my stay here.. Beginning, it was so difficult for me.. Missing Singapore, family, dear, close friends and etc etc related to Singapore.. However, now getting better le.. Much better.. Not saying that I don't miss Singapore anymore.. Juz that maybe as days go by, more or less get used to the surrounding.. E.g. seeing snow everywhere.. Experiencing negative temperature.. It will be sooo different going back to Singapore.. Although now.. I am experiencing more sun light than usual.. The Sun rose at 6.24am and sets at 8.17pm.. So different considering when I came here I didn't see the sun for 2 weeks.. About 10 more days will be my 100th day.. That time was still day 1.. So fast going to 3 figures le.. So fast I 20 le.. Nvm nvm.. Anyway, I might be going to a museum tomorrow.. Artikum.. Hopefully I spell correctly.. So you guys will be having updates of that and also tomorrow is Thomas's birthday so everything will be publish on next monday..

Oh ya.. Didn't update the score.. Singapore 1 Japan 2.. Think quite a good result though.. Indra Shadan scored again.. After Manchester Utd and Uruguay.. Now Japan..

Nothing much to add.. Juz that those who haven't read what happened during last weekend and tues and wed.. pls go read.. Hee..

Everyday is a interesting day so far.. Since Saturday.. Snow Mobile TODAY!

Soooooooooo kwel!!!!!!!!! Tried snow mobile today.. Driving thru snow, in the river, then in thru the forest but at the speed of 80km/h only coz we newbie ahz.. It such an experience driving thru different surface.. It was a smooth ride on the river, then the bumpy ride thru the forest and up the hill to our fire place, then also riding on soft snow (the most challenging driving ever coz it was soft and really hard to control).. I was sharing the snow mobile with Bernhard though coz we didn't have enough snow mobiles to share among everyone.. So I drove there and he drove back.. It was quite an experience to sit at the back sit too.. You feel more impact when sitting behind.. Had to use so much strength juz to keep me in my seat.. It was a lovely weather.. Sun shining and temperature about -5 degrees I guess.. -5 is really a good weather.. But it's really cold driving at a speed of 80km/h.. Juz now leg frozen.. Now getting better le.. My poor toes.. Always have to suffer.. Hee..

Anyway latest score:
Singapore 0 Japan 1.. Heard Takahara scored.. (update courtesy of Mike)

Go Singapore Go.. Haha.. Doubt they will do much to a team with stars like Nakata (Parma), Ono (Feyenood), Inamoto (Fulham), Takahara (HSV I think), Santos (Brazilian borned Japan Resident), Nakamura (Reggina) just to name a few..

Some Finnish sentence (I hope):

Mina olen Yingting. Olen kotosin Singaporesta ja opiskelen Temasekin ammattikorkeakoulussa.
I am Yingting. I live in Singapore and study in Temasek Polytechnic.

Mina en puhu Suomea, Mina puhun Englantia.
I don't speak Finnish, I speak English.

What a weekend...

Firstly, I had so many things to do till finally now I am able to update my blog.. So many things happened during this weekend.. Of coz there was my Birthday.. 20 years old le.. Lao (Old) le.. Sigh.. No more a teenager.. Sound so so so old..

Most would be wondering how did I celebrated? Coz that's the question I received from everyone.. Had a "Party" on Saturday.. Did some shopping for food and drinks with Thomas.. Went to 3 huge supermarket Lidl (Like Cold Storage or Shop n Save of Singapore), Prisma (like Carrefour), Eurospar (like NTUC) juz to shop.. Haha.. Best eh? Some cheaper here, some cheaper there.. But did it in less than 1 hour coz guys shopping.. Went back did nothing much juz only something bad happened which I wished it didn't happen.. But then nvm.. Thomas made lasagna.. The best lasagna I ever tasted.. Really so so nice.. Will try to steal some skills from him.. Then later of coz is the party.. The decoration they did although is simple but very very nice and touching.. Refer to the decoration of the flat for more detailed story.. As usual the drinks are on the table again.. Tequila, Volka, Gin, Barcardi, Tonic Water, All kinds of juices.. Then later came the birthday cake.. Refer to the story of the 1st Birthday cake.. They sang birthday song and I blew the candle and cut the cake.. Then I got my presents, a picture from the gals and a card from everyone and a bottle of red wine from robin.. Shock when I saw the picture.. Haha.. I really don't know how to describe it.. The card was nice also.. When open, someone will be singing Happy Birthday.. All signatures are in there.. In all different kind of languages.. Guess all is wishing me Happy Birthday ba.. Then drink more before we went to Doris.. Need to drink more in the dormitary cos will be much more expensive in Doris to get a drink.. Party a while there.. Didn't stayed long coz quite sick of the place actually.. Some of us left early and we walked back.. Nice walk always to get more fresh air and by the time we reach our dormitary, we can sleep easily.. When we were back, Bernhard made toast.. He really makes good nice toast.. It's been a long time since I tasted that.. That's about all for Saturday night party..

Next day, woke up and it's the 1st day of my 20th year old.. It's also the day when some part of Europe change their time to 1 hr earlier.. So instead of 7am.. It became 8am.. So if you calculate.. I'd only had 23 hours of Birthday.. Sad sia.. 1 hour eaten up.. Haha.. So now the different between Singapore and Finland is 5 hrs instead of 6 hrs.. I cooked some "Fried Rice" for them.. It didn't really taste like fried rice but still very nice.. Quite satisfied with it.. Most commented it nice and want it every week.. Haha.. 1st time cooking it and receive good reviews.. Oh ya.. Had the red wine Robin gave me also.. Nice too.. Next it was my 2nd cake, So nice.. 2 cakes on my birthday.. It was really nice and delicious.. Later, I helped a little in making the Finnish pastries, Finnish Pulla.. Went to bed after chatting a while.. And this is my weekend.. 1 of the more interesting blog I ever written right?


1st Birthday Cake
It was a chocolate cake with small chocolate chip (like those m&m). Done by Veronika, Lis, Robin and Ville.. It was on Friday night, they tried all means to get me to bed.. First, it was Mae.. She asked me to join her and Thomas to the Karaoke Bar but I was too tired.. So it didn't work.. Then Lis kinda chase me back.. Really funny she had to act tired and drunk.. But the time I went back was about 2am.. So they did the cake till 4am.. Oppsss..

2nd Birthday Cake
This was done by Lilu.. She did it on Saturday morning.. I knew she didn't got much sleep coz the previous night when they were making the cake, they were making quite a lot of noise.. But Lilu still woke up in the morning to make it.. I went there a while then she stopped me from going in.. Haha.. Had to eat my breakfast alone.. It was a strawberry cake.. Very nice also..

The Picture
Hmm.. Was shopping with them but then always have to stay somewhere or shop alone coz they are doing my present.. Starring: Lilu, Veronika, Mae, Lis.. Can't really comment here.. Must see to believe.. I was shock also.. Ask me when I'm back in Singapore..

Decoration of the Flat
Hmmm.. I don't know who decorated or printed the stuffs coz I am, as usual, restricted to stay in the flat.. Have to be in my room or in others flat.. Really nice.. Simple and nice..
