I am such a slob.Staying here for the past four weeks have only solidified this fact. I do all my sleeping, eating, watching TV and reading/studying on the bed, and I don’t make my bed each morning. Thank goodness for the cleaning person that comes in once a week, else I can quite confidently say ...
I’ve been writing entries online for seven years now, five of which are here and two of them sneakily hidden away. You can call it blogging although I never really quite liked the word, and boy has the time just whizzed by.When I first started, I wrote about anything and everything under the sun although ...
Tickets to the event!Apparently 3DD first began performing in Europe right here in Helsinki in a smaller pub location, unbeknowst to me at least. And yesterday was the last leg of their European tour this year, previous locales included UK, Germany, Sweden and finally Finland.Brad Arnold (Lead vocal) & Matt Roberts (Guitar)Chris Henderson (Guitar)They absolutely ...
Before anybody gets any lewd ideas, yeah I wish… it actually stands for 3 Doors Down and I just purchased tickets to watch them live in Helsinki! They are amongst my top favourite alternative bands like Staind, Daughtry, Switchfoot, Nickelback and Breaking Benjamin. I’m still feeling stoked about it and will tell you how this ...
It’s been two weeks in this foreign land and I have to admit - keeping up with this whole disappearing act is getting quite tiring. I had initially thought that this game would have been fun, see how the world I know changed while I was ‘gone’. Yeah by cyber-stalking…However, I’m sticking to my plan ...
Here’s an excerpt of what the Finns are like, taken from the Culture Shock! book I bought from Borders weeks before coming here:Meeting a Finn is definitely good for a stressed-out soul, especially if you come from a nation of money-oriented achievers, celebrity fixations, and the latest ‘must have’ status items. As a whole, the ...
Winter is either here or coming real quick cos it’s so cold these days. My daily getup includes GoreTex shoes, double socks, long johns, jeans, top, parka, leather gloves, scarf and beanie. If I leave my hand open to the mercy of the wind, my bones feel the chill within minutes… so much it hurts.I ...
On the website it appeared so lovingly designed and upkept, the amenities and service look impeccable. It reminded me of the service apartment I stayed in during my holiday in Melbourne in 2005. I arrived two days ago sadly mistaken and was somewhat disappointed. The place feels like a dingy little Russian hideout, flanked by ...
As I settled down into my seat while the plane waited to be filled, I realized something. I thought that it was my first flight alone, but it really wasn’t… however, it was my first real trip alone. I had to transit in Bangkok and as I stepped out into the departure lounge, felt like ...
I got to know this information over a month ago, it appears that I was required to be in Finland for training at this new job that I’m at. I will be away for six consecutive weeks beginning this Sunday through til end November. Do await fascinating pictures because I have gotten myself a new ...
I know I’m not an American, but I almost feel like I am. I think it must have been the way I was brought up, the fast food, the culture, the TV dramas/comedies and two companies I’ve worked for are both American as well.Anyway on to the topic of the day - it appears that ...
Four days ago, after months and months of holding back, I couldn’t take the probing and poking any longer and went out and got the Apple iPhone 3G. I had to pay a premium to re-contract and purchase the phone but with Lady Luck still smiling on me, my new company will actually subsidize a ...
Awoke from my slumberI clearly rememberOne thing as I ponderThat made me thus sombreDo dreams ever come true?‘Of course they do!’I wish to believe youBut that I can’t do
Tomorrow is the official last day for me at my old company. In the end, it was the politics, the backstabbing, the two-faced people, the slackers, the rigidness of the processes, the lack of support, the poor vision, the unstable products and the crappy job scope that did it for me. Trust me, there are ...
You’d think that having a weblog means there will be at least a page or two about the author himself, but all I have here is a short paragraph that really doesn’t say much at all. Although in its true essence, I don’t think much in the description has changed in the past few years. ...
I have an iPod that spews music in the car, also something I listen to whenever I’m on the public transport. I have tonnes of songs, but only listen to a handful of them.I like jazz, the soothing kind, bossa nova and sometimes fusion. It kinda calms me. Mando-pop is straight out depressing, I haven’t heard many songs that don’t talk about love and stuff, …
I have a dream.In three to four years time, when the shopping centre I’m eyeing is fully built, I’m thinking that I could open a game shop. Selling consoles, games, toys, books, magazines all gaming-related, have a couple of display sets for people to try them out. I’ll also have a web portal where people can gather and discuss as well as see the latest …
I’ve been wanting to have one ever since it was announced. It launched back in Nov/Dec 2006 but we never got ours, it delayed so long that even the Playstation 3 came out first. Every week, I tried to keep up to date with the news and always got disappointed, until two mornings ago.It stated that the console was launching, at a bundle price which may or may not be …

If any of you actually read our local rags recently, you’d probably have come across the article about the Mazda test driver who killed the Sales Engineer. Remember that story? The one where this guy who had no intention of buying a car, test drove an MX-5 with a pretty young lady SE and subsequently hit the central divider, flipped over to the next lane, smashed into a …
