Day 25, March 24, temp: -4C- -12C windy

Hello Folks!! Sorry I didn't blog yesterday as I was tired from work, though it was only a few hours! I will merge two days of posts as nothing much happened yesterday apart from work!!:D
And oh, yesterday's weather was -11C, bloody cold for March!

This morning, I woke up at 6.15am, made meself beakfast and then cycled off to work! As mentioned, it was freezing this morning and there were snow flurries... this made cycling hard as hell!! As the morning was windy, I couldn't understand why I was cycling against the wind + snow all the time!!! It was painful as the snow flakes hit me in the face like thousands of Gilette Mach 3 turbo razors slicing me up, it hurt pretty badly and I kept "squeezing/ crunching" my face to strain my face lol!!' By the time I arrived at my work place, my whoe face was so hard, I couldn't even SMILE!!!

But at least my face didn't become the grand canyon! I started my second day of work and met my two work buddies, Liisa and Heidi! They were both really fantastic people and were making weird "sounds" all the time haha! At first I thought they were students as they looked really young, but in actual fact they are working adults! As I will be in the housekeeping department for a few weeks, I look forward to working with them:) They are smiling all the time and never failed to answer my questions. At the end of the day, they gave me all the cans and bottles they found for recycling!!:D Over here in Finland, cans and bottles are money. One normal coke can can get you a 30cents cash back. a normal 500ml bottle can get you 40 cents singapore and one 1.5L bottle = 80 cents singapore! So yesterday from all the cans and bottles they gave me, I managed to get over 5 Euros cash in return:D

As I was promised one free meal a day, I had this impression that I would me given normal staff meals... And it turned out wrong, the manager of F&B (I forgotten his name but he is a really great guy!!) asked me what I would like for lunch, and the food items came from the menu itself!!! IT WAS FANTASTIC AND DELICIOUS:D

I start work at 8am and usually by 2pm im OFF:D Sometimes when we finish cleaning the rooms asigned early, I can even leave at 12nn!!! Its fantastic but im certainly hoping they will give me an allowance!

I then met Mikko and Antti today after work. We went Ice-skating and hockey LOL:D As I know nuts about ice hockey, I fell on my ass all the time:D But I give it up to Mikko and Antti who are fantastic players! But things got a little boring as they were playing among themselves hahahaha:D And Antti said I needed to sharpen my ice skates as I kept slipping all the time:D

Thats all folks for these two days, im definitely lookig forward for work tomorrow:D
