Hey Folks:)

From today onwards, this will be my blog!!!

I will begin my journey to Finland from today onwards:) DO link me and check back often:D

Hi People!

I have finally gotten my residence permit to Finland!! This is getting so exciting for me:)
They have been really nice enough to grant me an extra month in Finland so I can work, tour Europe and earn my money back!!

Mr Conrad, my diploma head told me that since I was the only lone bird going to Finland, the international coordinator of Jyvaskyla Ammattikorkeakoulu (Polytechnic in Finnish hahaha), Minna has enrolled me into an annual tourism regional symposium, Erasmus (interactions with people from E.U). She also said that I had a few weeks of free time to tour around Jyvaskyla and possibly find a part-time job to stock up on my cash:)

Also, one my great finnish friends, who is in Singapore and goes by the name Antti, kindly offered me to stay in his apartment and have saved me lots of money as a result!! Thanks Bro seriously!! My buddy tutor even offered to take me from Vantaa airport in Helsinki all the way to Jyvaskyla (200km plus distance), thus saving me another hundred SGD on the finnish railway!!

I have yet to attend a 2 hour tutorial on how to wash clothes, as taught by my beloved granny. I should start packing my luggage soon.

I will be opening a new blog for my Finland Attachment and will write about it everyday, from the moment I enter Changi Transit Terminal 1, to the day I'm so not looking forward to, coming back:( Do visit haha:D

But before this, a few things I need to do:

1) Study for Global Business Environment
2) Study for Gaming Operations Management
3) Hope to attend one last party by MIkko and Antti before I leave
4) Buy a backpacker bag for my trip
5) Buy two long sleeve shirts for the biting winter in Finland
6) Get my NS exit permit or else I wont come back to Singapore!

Thats all folks:D

Hang in there!

Now now now Kovski, you've made it through 9 damning one hell pill of projects, just hang in for another 4 examinations, and you're OFF to FINLAND:D

But before that... here are a list of things you must do:
1) Study Service quality management notes
2) UCCD lectures and case studies
3) Global business environment lectures (whole book)
4) Gaming Operation Management Notes
5) Settle your 3 nights accomodation in Jyvaskyla or you'll have to sleep in Vantaa airport/ railway station where gang hordes of Somali immigrants will gang rape you:)
6) Buy your railway ticket from Helsinki to Jyvaskyla
7) Buy a desk, a chair, maybe a water bed, pillows for your empty apartment:(
8) Hope hard that Central Manpower base will grant you your exit permit
9) Hope that the Finnish Embassy will grant you your permit

So now... Concentrate on your studies, then worry about something you've never done before in your whole life (Living alone, furnish your apartment, live like a full grown adult).

I'd rather be off to a coffin six feet under and stay in forever!!!:(
