I have failed countless times to update this blog, and I have a feeling no one really reads anymore. However, since this was where I started writing it always feels most comforting to return to write short bit about my life here
I was browsing today this article where a number of individuals had submitted pictures or scans of their teenage diaries. I have hardly graduated out of teenhood myself; once a very interesting character told me that you don't truly stop being a teen until you've passed 25 years of age. Sometimes not even then. Yet I can't help but look at (the now hidden) entries that used to chronicle my life in secondary school and then in junior college. I was a very different person then, and yet, not so.
As I write this now, I am waiting for myself to fall asleep, for the memories in my head to die down so I may just tumble into a nice dreamless sleep.
Yet sleep evades me, as it naturally does when you need to wake mere hours later for the most important task of school. It feels so new all over again, because people just come and go and come back again.
But enough of my rambling, I should really try to at least close my eyes and lay down, and hope that eventually sleep will take me.
To all those people who left my life, I miss you. You know who you are

chap stick
no lipstick. chap stick. but its pink anyways.
so, although my system is messed up i managed to sleep properly until 7.30 am. haha. abg, i held fast to your rules. =)
i woke up. took a bath and then went out for a walk with isoäiti and säsä. its like -10 degrees outside now. the sun rose at around 8++ am. so we headed outside. watched some eng drama on tv. of course it had finn subtitles.
starting to get to know my way around this small town. there are many nice shops to visit. and there are many many many museums. too many to count really. we went to visit the old fort of Lappeenranta. everything is so quaint. and everything looks as if it came straight out of a picture book, or off really nice postcards.
haha. i found a rasmus cd in my room. nice nice. also i found that i look weird in a bath robe. but i have to get used to it since its the finn way of doing things
so anyway, at the 'old Lappeenranta' we saw this old orthodox church. the buildings here are super old. some even go back to 1700 and 1800, even before raffles found singapore in 1819. so we saw the fort and all these monuments. we also went to see the satama, or the beach. its really nice, and the entire water is iced over. but it isn't enough until can walk on the ice. aft seeing the fort we went to this kahvila, or coffee house. it was really nice. the kahvila was inside this place which was originally built as a home for some Swedish guy. really nice and warm. very cosy. many old stuff and pics. so had some warm cocoa and sat at chatted with isoäiti and säsä. the view was nice, esp with the sun on the snow. it shone like glitter.
so aft that we went to the shop to buy some stuff. its now only 2 pm and its starting to get dark already. thats how it is in finland i guess. so well, now isoäiti is preparing lunch. i oughta go help here.
miss you guys in s'pore and send me your pics frm prom!
