Hello Readers!

Wow... its so fast, I have already spent half my internship in Finland:( Ive grown to like this place, Summer is really one BIG DREAM! Friends and really nice people at work. Ahhhh! Im really stuck in this possibly typical situation as to stay in Finland in the future, or return to Singapore! When you're here, you realise how pathetic things can get in Singapore; Governance, work environment, WEATHER, lifestyle etc:(

Life seems so relaxed here and im really loving it:D In Finland, lifestyle and environment naturally leads one on to living to a ripe old age. Whereas in Singapore, Vitamins, man-made supplements, surgery, medicines, painful injections allows you to live on much longer. Healthcare in fully covered in Finland, therefore no one has to worry about falling ill or allowing loved ones to carry the burden of financial costs. It's the other way round in Singapore most unfortunately: People rather be dead once they fall ill. Welfare, Communism, or Self-sufficient? Im for welfare and communism:D

Anyway, the housekeeping part of my training is over. Im definitely going to miss Liisa (my CLOSEST working partner!) She has helped me temendously for the past two months! Its sad when she came over, thanking me for all the help ive provided her for for the past two months:...( Eeva promised to hire me from July Onwards, instead of June. Thats why I have been feeling really upset and "cheated". Whatever it is, Im going to the Population registrar Office to get my Social Security Pass to grab the job. Its weird for a guy I know, but I really love working in the housekeeping dept. Thats why I will extend my visa for another month, hopefully CMPB will grant it, as well as the Finnish Poliisi, fingers crossed yet again:)

Time or my two weeks break!:D Summer is out in full force, with next weeks temperature soaring to a high 28C. Im off to Helsinki once more for my first official holiday with my brother!! We plan to visit Suomenlinna Fortress, Stockmann, Linnanmaki theme park etc etc. We shall spend a few days there before hopping on the Tallink to Estonia, spend time in their old town... drink some Viru Valge (local spirits). Afterwhich, we'll hop on to a coach to Riga, Latvija:D I really can't wait!!

Thats all for the week folks! I will try to blog during my trip so do look back!:D
