Day 19, Mar 28, Temp -2 - -15C

Its supposed to be almost Spring, and the temperature is supposed to get warmer, but why the heck are temperatures still dropping?!?!?! Hahahahaha. Cycling to work is much more difficult because the air is thin and your face is freezing lol. But Antti and my work mates all said that it usually drops so much as Spring is trying to fight for their days while mighty winter simply wont give up!!:D But I think Spring has lost its cool, and winter is finally losing HAHAHAHA:D

Day are getting longer, today the sun rose at 5am, an today it will be setting at 8+pm already:D This means I can stay out longer!! Anyway, this week has been a great week!! I was supposed to attend one of the exchange students gathering at "shaker", a cocktail bar, but last minute everyone couldn't make it so it was cancelled!

On day 26, I was attached to another work mate by the name if Maija (Mai-e-ya), And she turned out to be the sister of Liisa:D Maija is more out-going and is comfortable speaking in English so I didn't have any problems interacting with her at all:) She was relatively new as compared to her sister so we had so much fun woking together, trying to figure out what drinks had been taken from the minibar of each room, what rooms to clean etc etc!!:) Ended work at 1.30pm. I then went to meet Antti as he needed to go to Rajakatu (The biggest campus) to do some administrative stuff pertaining to his attachment in Singapore, and then have lunch there!! I sincerely think he is a good host here, although sometimes he doesn't know what he's doing hahahhahaha:D We went to Rajakatu to find out it was close, so was the cafeteria!! Crap, we then walked back to Keskusta and popped in to one of their fantastic pizzerias for pizza! 5.50 Euros for a meal that will last you THREE Full meals is a great deal!!:D We chit-chatted, then went to get my ice skates sharpened for 6 Euros, then off we went back to our apartments!!

Day 27, was another great day!! As usual, went to work to meet Maija, and another girl by the name of Suvi-Maria joined us! She spoke good English, and looked absolutely GORGEOUS hahahahaaaha:) She approached me to say hi and then we introduced ourselves! And then she said, " Im studying a psychology degree, so I know what you're thinking hehe:D It was a cheeky statement for the first time we met, but I melted away hahhahahahaha:D After work, I went back home, settled down and went to meet Antti AGAIN HAHAHAAHHA:)

He invited me over to his house for dinner, and then went to S-market to get some items that he claims will make me a MAN LOL:D Hahahaha Aiyah ayah before you start thinking wrongly, its not SEX hor!! Its just lots of Cider as thats what people drink here everyday hahaha! We walked down the beverage aisle and that guy just took and threw it into the basket... "Wow this one if good, you must try! Hmmmm this is not bad either, lets get both!! And Oh Oh Oh, You Must try this one, its goooooooooddddddddd!:D He was being a "man-maker" LOL!! By the time we headed back to the cashier, the amount of Cider we bought was ridiculous haha! Trust me... it was way too much for a Singaporean. But no worries, especially to my parents who are probably dead-worried I may get drunk and people will "spike" my drink, don't worry, I know my LIMITS!! And these people are not drinking hooligans, drinking here is a way of life and to get to meet people!

Then popped over to his house for dinner lol! I can see why Antti looks unhealthy hahaha! While the potato wedges and chicken were grilling in the oven, we had lots of sweets and potato chips as appetizers LOL:D But the meal was good and I enjoyed it very much!! We then watched the movie "taken"... Quite a thriller! And Antti switched the lights off and dimmed it until it had a totally different meaning LOL:D

Plans for today, get as much sleep as possible, then meeting Mikko, Antti and their friends for a night out Hoorah:D Se ya folks!
