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

frostbite and running noses
wah. my flight was thirteen hrs of torture. and i drank too much coffee onboard, so i didn't get enough sleep. but anyways, to the darlings who sent me off, i thank you. eric. shimin. eileena. chai yun. bao ling. and hubby oke. well. so, i set off on this month adventure alone. and so far, its been ok
so the flight. my butt bcame pretty sore. and the flight attendants weren't that nice. there was this one finn lady, but she got off at bangkok, since my flight was via bangkok. alot of finn ppl came onboard at bangkok, and also there were new flight attendants. they weren't any better. except for this one guy. he smile smile and always ask if i was comfy. and yes he was hot ok. sorry, i got no pic to show. but dang, was he hot. the movie they screen was also very nice. spiderman 2 and around the world in 40 days. i listened to every channel of music to battle boredom, and yes, it included the techno and jap hits channel. sheesh.
it was snowing when i touch down. very nice. everything was covered in a white feathery blanket. met my säsä, that is my grandfather and his friend. his friend sent us to the railway station. get this, i'm still considered at kid in Finland and so i get the childrens' fare for the train ticket. haha. so well, this big kid went stupidly to the platform without a wrap. and it was cold. seemed so surreal. well, it still seems surreal. the train station was like something out of a story book. imagine harry potter and the hogwarts express. YES. I'M NOT KIDDING YOU. so well, it was a 3 hr trip to Lappeenranta. very nice. the scenery also very nice. but no pics cos camera ran out of battery. *pouts* oh well, just believe me it was spectacular. took a taxi to my isoäiti's place. very cosy very nice. but very cold. thank gdness inside got heater, my teeth were chattering.
felt a bit homesick at ferz but i went for a walk with isoäiti and it cured my homesickness. the places here are very very nice, tml i'll be going down to the beach. however, i need to hit the sack at an appropriate time bcos my system is out of whack due to the time diff and too much coffee.
ppl here look like eskimo on the streets. and the ppl here all so tall. make me feel like munchkin. some are nice enough. others aren't. but ppl will always be ppl and we can't change that.
to huda : that was a really nice gift. i really appreciate it. you take good care ok.
to eric : i want updates on your baptism. and pics of your purple hair. haha. expect something in the mail soon.
to jacob : thanks for the greeting. and expect loads of things coming your way.
FINALLY
to that annoying person who flooded my tagboard. buzz off. its getting on my nerves.
