Last summer @ YMCA

Time to pack bag and escape to the nature – back to countryside. Our favourite summer cottage – YMCA @ Viheri, Jyväskylä. Although is a short weekend but is nice to be out, soaking as much Vitamin D as possible. Short yet fun. Funniest encounter with a wild rabbit in woods when we were driving to YMCA at midnight. After 1 min of playing catching with the rabbit as it just keeps jumping left and right on the road instead of running back to the forest, we finally get it out of our way on a junction. If not we will never reach our destination. Watch the event and LOL


Life after holiday

Work has been crazy… sometimes I felt I don’t have the skills to perform well in my job. IE bugs make me crazy. Javascript makes me headache. It has never been easy to keep up the pace after a 2 months lazy and relaxing holiday. And it never will. And unbelievable I survive after a month of returning to work. Just had a crazy week left behind, too many OT and I hope as summer holiday approaching work pace will calm and slow down. And hopefully sunny too. Looking forward to a short trip to Sweden for Lilly’s wedding. A break from my boring routine.

Something does happened. Something huge. For a moment, i thought I had lost my blog. All the post I have written. All the evidence of me living. All the moments in my life. The story goes when I tried to save money on a web hosting server. Instead of renewing my current one, i decided to use company free server. And all this drama happens when I changed the DNS config of my domain pointing to my company server without exporting my WP posts, thinking that is sufficient enough that I back up the whole blog folder in the existing server. Dummy me. At the end, i lost my blog for 4 days and finally with the help of my hosting, i got the DNS pointing back to my old database. Finally, I can export my blog and continue blogging.

Another huge moments are coming. I will be having a development discussion. And I need to fill up a form that question my thought. Difficult questions that I have no answer to. Tougher than all the big exams i had before. I guess I have to start thinking and hopefully I have something smart to say.

In the bright side, last Saturday I had a blast. Samba Festival was great. Lots of sexy samba dancer. For some reason, i felt 2009 was better? Perhaps I felt more excited that time as is my first. Weather is perfect. Good companion. Nice food. Overall rate 8/10 :)

Summer holiday v2

Finally long awaiting summer holiday part 2 began at YMCA, Viheri Jyväskylä for 4 days and move on to Toivakka for 3 days. Peace & quite and lots of socializing at Toivakka :P Hong Kong drama, sauna, swim, grill, role play Dread, petanque, kayaking, basketball  perfect combo!

Summer@Finland

This Summer was really summery… super hot and humid. Feels like back to Malaysia. Everyday almost 28-29 Celsius. And more acne is popping out to welcome the sun! Annoying. 1 more day till my summer holiday 2nd round!…yeah. But no plan to g abroad. Just being cheap staying in Finland. Spend a week in summer cottage at Jyväskylä.

I am loving my photography apps in my iPhone. With only €0.79, I downloaded this cool lomography effect photo apps – CrossProcess. It emulated the effect of analog film photography adding a classic touch to it. Another free app called MoreLomo enhanced my photos with very vivid and vibrant colors. Nice! But the only problem is when I preview the photos that I took with both CrossProcess and MoreLomo in iPhoto, it doesn’t show the photo preview thumbnail. But once import, is fine. Weird.

YMCA, Jyväskylä

Last weekend, we went to YMCA camping site. My favourite camping site :) Julia and Ville came along and it was fun! Sauna, swim in lake, grill, Petaque game, sun tanning makes the weekend perfect! On Sunday we went attended the Kivitasku Jam Music Festival at Hannu’s main house together with Blue’s parents. Overall not bad, a bit too long performance for each band. And there is this funny English singer. He is hilarious :)
Visited lots of “tonttu” in the forest. It was quite interesting to hear stories of them and we explore the jungle finding for more tonttu like in the adventure.

Worship the sun

Spring is finally approaching. This winter has been a real solid snow. Love it :) Even so, there is not much winter activities for me. Only been skating twice!? and haven’t skate on the lake yet. Still remember last winter, in middle Finland (JKL), I have packed my skating shoe, just to get there and realize i am a day late, the ice has started to melt =.= huge disappointment. But this year nice winter in Helsinki as well, yet dint find a chance to skate at the lake. Maybe that’s the nature of human. Never appreciate when you can get the things you wanted easily. Right in front of you.

Last year on Labour day, LB went to Rome and playing sardine/ sandwich with “people mountain people sea”, this year is all peace and quiet – too bad is no extra holiday. It a Sat.  The next day went for little exploration around the new neighborhood. End up discovering a big jogging path and play field plus super windy beach. 10km of walk/jog, not bad.

Lilly visited

A year later, Lilly visited us for the 2nd time :) For the 1st time in Helsinki I saw a long Q for a museum entrance. Pablo Picaso exhibition is the one. It was funny as on summer we went to Paris but doesn’t visit Pablo Picaso Museum and this time the entire collection was shipped to Helsinki and we got a chance to visit with Lilly. Had lots of fun with Lilly around for the weekend ^^

[summer] biking trip

Easter Break

It was the time to visit JKL once again after so long. Loving Finland for having the most holiday in the world! Although this year the Easter was not celebrate under the sunshine but still is memorable :) Had fun for 4 days at summer cottage… lovely <3

sibelius momentum helsinki

Finally, we went to visit the famous Sibelius Monument at Sibelius Park, Helsinki. It was small park with the monument right in the middle. Beautiful and artistic. On winter, it looks amazing… white snows

Skate the ice

It has been a while since i play on ice :D Ok, i hv to admit im really bad in ice skating and hv been visiting only a couples of time to Sunway Pyramid (the only shopping mall that has ice ring) when I was still in Malaysia. Well I do enjoy the falling on butt process :D it definitly need skills and potential butt…haha…meat meat butty ;)

It was my second time to ice skate at Helsinki with Melaine and we have lots of fun. I guess I have began to able skate in comfort and slowly im incresing my speed… it feels good! I NEED SPEED!!!

This was not a good winter as last week it was snowing and often -0 celcius. It was good as the cold weather helps to keep the ice from melting which is essential for nature open ice skate ring. We had one here near home but since this week the rain has wash away all the snow and ice :( no more nature ice skating…this place used to be a place where private mini aeroplane fly and land but not when winter :)




nature ice skate path :) when the mist on air, as u skate forward, u feel like entering an infinity world… feels really awesome:)

A visit to Vantan Kaupunki


It was Saturday again… time sure flies especially during this cold dark month when night is longer than day… at least when 4pm it feels like 8pm. Well, it was not so bad as we still have SNOW! to play with. At the noon, we went to Vantan Kaupunki located 20km from Helsinki… another district called Vantaa. It is something like recreation park… have jogging path in jungle around the lake, have frozen lake and running water lakes for ppl to swim… yes u heard me right, SWIM in this COOL weather :P and sauna of course and little house where there is a fireplace at the middle and ppl sit around it and grill food to eat and enjoy hot coffee ^^ finns love coffee and i love chocolate…haha


This is the fireplace where you can grill your sausages, meatballs and sandwiches and basically anything… too bad din had mashmallow…should have requested from the host of the gathering :P


This is the place ppl go swimming…is damn cold the water as i have tried touching them with my bare fingers…goshh…my hand almost turn into blue :P is really freezing… but J** claim that for those ppl that complain abt cold fingers and feet during winters actually doesnt have that problem anymore after they go for this WINTER SWIM… erm, maybe i should try someday… haha
It was fun day to be outside and play snows and slide down… would definitly love to go again ^^

It has been a great trip although i was not feeling very well the 2nd day at night…i guess i was infected by tummy ache…starting to vomit and visit the toilet very often… lucky it was at night the end of my birthday…lol…i would be really sad if i have to spend my birthday in toilet instead of going out to the snow…lol…is not really snowing actually is more like a mixture of snow and ice…nice nice…i was very excited, after all is my 1st time… now i sound so kampung :P

Relaxing Sunday



It was Sunday… suppose i should go to morning church and gathering with other au pairs but i din go like last Sunday, instead i was in relaxing and lazy sunday mood :) Since i hv to do some child care today cause J** was away to USA for buisness trip and A** has to go tennis class. In the evening i decided to venture a bit to the neighbourhood cause i realise there is a lake on my way to Helsinki for my finnish class. I though there might be a park nearby the lake. I was excited and took the bike for a little searching for lake mission. Found it and wow… it was great :) just like the cottage…really fall in love with this place…i guess i will be coming here more often if the sun are there…haha…coz is so windy and freaking cold when the sun go hiding benneth the clouds :P


this box thingy is not a WC (toilet) :P is like a closed area for sitting inside (will keep u warm from the wind) and look up to d sky staring at twinkle twinkle little star :) perfect for couples… hehe


I am so in love with this place :D I was laying down at the wood thingy (dunnoe wat is it called) enjoying the sun and the wind, listening to the nature…watching birds flying and how they try to catch some fish on the lake surface…it was such a wonderful evening :) this is wat it called blue sky holiday… finally i hv found this little heaven of mine :D

Friday Hangout


It was friday and i decided to hv a friday hangout night :) so after my finnish class which ends at 12noon, went for walk at helsinki city and Oulunkylä paying a visit to Melaine’s house :) At night we went to Suomelinna http://www.suomenlinna.fi/index.php?lang=eng a major monument of military architecture which takes 10 minutes ferry from the market square port.Suomenlinna is considered to be one of the worlds´s unique treasures by UNESCO for it is the largest historical sea fortress in Scandinavia.Well is night so we could barely see much of the architectures but I guess i will be back again maybe during summer for picnic :) However, it was really nice place to go even at night… we had picninc of chocolates, pepsi and cookies at green grass near the cliff… pretty windy but so nice to laydown and enjoy the night… too bad there is no stars :( but is a great night…

beautiful church…

arriving at the port…


There was loud music coming from here. Partying people :) is pretty cool to party in stone building that looks like cave

this is a bar… grab a cup of hot cocoa in the middle of a windy night :)


freaking scary… i would never come alone at night :P barely sees anyone at this road… somehow looks haunted…

Manage to catch the 11pm ferry back. So, before heading back home, i manage to capture some night view of Helsinki :) it was cold windy night like 12°…

Kammpi is a big shopping mall and also a bus station underground :)

I think it was a red hotel :) i wonned go in there coz those rooms really has deep red lights… somehow looks like “those” place…u noe what i mean? :)

It was a long friday again… went out at 8am and back home at 1am… wow…more than 12 hrs…break records…haha…way to go freedom wings

Happening Sunday :)


It was a “happening” Sunday :) was out socializing from 10am till 10pm… haha… 12 hrs… geng oOo. As i have said earlier on i meet a taiwanese and an au pair from switerland in my Finnish language class, so i join the taiwanese to the morning mandrain church at International Christian Center at Helsinki… it was a good one :) after the service, we are serve chinese oriental meal for only €1… that was delicious but i guess a bit oily…hoho… that morning i got to brush up my mandrain with other taiwaness and china ppl after the service…spent time chit chating with them while having meal and there is a guy that look so alike Hong Kong singer LOH MAN!!! hehe… i told him n he said im not the only one who told him…and he jokily said he leave his singer career to come Finland…haha…so big scarified :P most of them came here to work in restaurant and now they can be saided a PR in Finland… migrated and give birth to new generations. Got to make friends with a few youngsters… gals and boys. They can be consider FBC (Finnish Born Chinese) as they speak fluent finnish and because i feel finnish somehow certain words sounds so japanese…when they speak with each other i interapted them and ask if they are japanese… they was like huh??? wat japanese? :P embarrasing… i wonder when i can speak fluent finnish…sighh…lesson in class is getting complicated… really need to study harder

my finnish class center
Than i went to the Temppeliaukio Church (Stone Church)… so amazing architecture… made mainly from nature stones and when the sun shine in thru the transparent window at the roof top it was so kaunis (beautiful)… no wonder so many special events are being held here… i almost fall asleep there when the priest is saying WHO IS JESUS CHRIST? im so sorry, no offence to fellow christian… i was too tired… i got blessed by 2 priest this morning and evening :)






Later in the evening i went to meet up with other au pairs at Kammpi; thanks to Fabienne i got to know abt this gathering :) indeed it was a good one… meet like 14 other au pairs but most of the are from Germany only Fabienne is from Switerland. They started speaking Germany…okie great i got to learn Finnish and Germany now :P We went to have out dinner together… got my kids meal of meatballs, veg and french fries… it was a big portions….wonder y they call it kids meal… is so big… nice meal…


I get to know that some of them actually came to au pair in Finland for so many times cause they are so in love with this land of thousand lakes and some of them jokily said they would like to married a Finnish boy so they got to stay here forever n ever :P that was the plan…haha…funny but not too bad if u found a cute hubby here :) Rumour said Finnish boy are very shy… keke…only typical ones cause my host family was never shy even the kids are alwaz so hyper :P
After meal we break into groups…some want to go home while some still wanna hang out and see how is the night life in Helsinki… but because today is Sunday so not many pubs were open and the shopping malls here are closed on Sunday!!! haha…so relaxing ppl here… we walk around and end up at a ROCK pub so we went in to have a look and see if there is any cute guys :p



unfortunetly there were not many…hoho…there was a guy who passby and said “I love sex”… he must be so drunk…and the girls said “We love sex too… fuck u”… walao… i was just laughing there :P enjoying the bitching show….keke…than a cute guy pass by to the WC i guess and one of the girls just said “Moi” to him and thats how v got him sitting on the tabl
e talking….haha… girls are pretty daring huh… good :)






Than the owner actually come and ask if we are above 23 if not he want us to make a move… it was sad cause there will be a band performing at 10pm but now 830 we are being kicked of from the bar… haih… “let them be gay”, said one of the girls :P

so we end up wandering around the street sightseeing… building at the night is so beautiful :)

and we went to the port and sit by the sea while waiting for the bus at 10pm… it was so relaxing… enjoying the long juice (something like shandy) while letting the wind blow and listen to the wave as we chit chat… so nice… i wish to do it again and again :) actually i love Helsinki city so much… i wish my house was somewhere nearby :) never sleep city…


Co-incidently Theresa (germany au pair) is living somehow 15 minutes from Nummela which i consider the nearest to me, we jump into the bus ride together heading home…it was good to hv someone accompany for long journey home (1 hr)… :) now i got someone nearby to hang out… im glad i went to the au pair gathering…hehe..meet a bunch of crazy funny ppl just like me

co-incidently me, Melaine (my left) and Theresa (my right) has nose piercing :P

GHOST FESTIVAL on my hp =.=

Yesterday i went for a day trip to TURKU for sightseeing. TURKU was 2 hrs from Nummela (d place i currently living). Yeah it was a long trip over and back… and it was costly too €20.10 one way…so i spend like €45 for the transport fee… WTF (opssi) T.T traveling here is definatly expensive…very expensive. Anyway, I meet up with my “Ju** the tour guide of the day” at the bus station and we went to sightseeing to places that himself hvnt been yet too :) Unfortunetly i dont hv the pictures because weird things happen to my hp… it was not there…all the pictures i took…maybe the memory card was not slot properly…WTF shit T.T yeah it doesnt sounds good… but i guess is ok cause i might be going to TURKU someday later and i can snap more pictures that time :)

The most memorable place of TURKU would be the Aurajoki where there is ships which are restaurants along the riverbank in the middle of the city…pleasant evening with a cup of coffee…nice :) and i love that place… is much more quiet here compare to Helsinki which is the capital of Finland…but TURKU was the 1st capital of Finland like 100 yrs ago…or maybe more than that…it was very convinence to take a starcruise to SWEDEN from the port :)

erm..than went to FORUM MARINUM where there is showcase of battle ships…and i saw a 38 and 04 ship…haha.38 crew member sure very busybody (cause in chinese 3 and 8 when put together gives the meaning of SAMPAT- SAM is 3 and PAT is 8 which means busybody) and 04 crew member sure die in battle cause 4 is SEI means die…hehe…not a good number :P nice ships on the sea…

TURKU CASTLE which is not like the castle in fairy tales so didnt go in but outside…the oldest castle…hv beautiful green park outside the castle…worth walking ard and can pluck some spices too…hehe

TURKU ART MUSEUM nice place to get inspired by Harro Koskinen’s work from 1964–2007. Harro is best known for his pop art and strong, socially critical works, but his famous pig figures do not tell the entire truth about his production. This extensive retrospective exhibition is also a review of works that were inspired by the underground movement and other cultural changes… his art was brilliant and so my style…i love it

and to TURUN TUOMIOKIRKKO a church….huge big one and somehow looks like a museum too :) very beautiful. okie now i have Helsinki and Turku map…haha…grab it from the main bus stations…probably more maps to grab as Finland has Oulu, Tampere, Pori, Turku and Helsinki…i think :D and Äland. There is a guy that offers free flight over to there and accomodations…haha…i didnt go cause i dont think is safe for me to spend overnight at some guys place…it would be weird and funny… so i told him after an hour that i would like to bring someone along…my bf…haha..and he was pissed off and ask me to leave him alone… haha..tat was funny :P he though i LULU (stupid) mer :P no offence ya…Anteeksi (sorry) but i would like to spend a fews day at the beautiful island… maybe next spring…it would be nice…

My language class started on Monday and its almost a week class (3 days perweek)… lesson is getting tougher…gosh…i dont know if i can speak fluent Suomi (Finnish) or not… but is good to meet more people there…aparently there is no cute guys :( haha… but there is asian from Indonesia and Taiwan… and other Euro countries like Brazil, Egypt, Switzerland, Portugal, Ghana, Afrika, France, Germany…nice people :)

Btw, there is another au pair in my class too. She is from Switzerland the land of delicious chocolates :D and there will be a gathering with other au pairs from France and Germany this Sunday… maybe i will join them after the morning church which is a Chinese gathering- ppl from Taiwan, Hong Kong and China… it would be cool and happening Sunday. The day to socialise :)

Today after class went around hunting for second hand items with the taiwanese. UFF shop was the best collection for second hand items and all of the money sold are given to charity. Brought 3 jeans with only €27 and it looks so brand new… for ESPRIT, H&M and Only Jeans…big brands here… good bargain. I need to get more ticker long pants cause the weather is getting colder and i was wearing it all day long :) There is more second hand shops along Sörnäinen and Harjunemia. Definitely the best place for good bargain…

And i guess i have a busy week cause this week was where i start my class and start to fetch the kids off school and to classes- art class, ballet class, ice skating class, guitar class….kids here are sure very “HANG FUK” (blessed)…so happening. I never remember i hv any of those classes before… sighhh…ok no picture for this entrance cause i think there is GHOST FESTIVAL going on at my handphone…”JONG CHEH” (haunted) :P no pictures was saved….haih =.= heart broken… grab more chocolates to cure my broken heart :)

Helsinki Part 6

No idea why there is patrol going on at the SENATE SQUARE, all i can recall is i heard a loud drum and I just squeeze myself among the crowds and get a few shots :) as usual…

SENATE SQUARE presents Carl Ludvig Engel’s architecture as a unique allegory of political, religious, scientific and commercial powers in the centre of Helsinki (quote directly from eikipedia ;P)

There is lots of tourist or local ppl sitting at the staircase going up to the senate catheral… ppl mountain ppl sea :P


The statue comprises Alexander II on a pedestal surrounded by figures representing the law, culture and the peasants.


SENATE CATHERAL, completed in 1852



Statues of the Reformation leaders LUTHER (sounds familiar-must be in history book ZAMAN REFORMASI), Melanchton and Mikael Agricola.

These are the sequence of scuptured mural found around the SENATE CATHEDRAL… sure they hv meanings on each of it… make ur guess :P i shall keep mine to myself

Weirdly but true… im goin to places that i would never step in when i was in Malaysia. I never like to go Balai Seni Lukis or Museum Negara… but strangely when a person was abroad these kind of places have so much attraction to them…ANTHENUM ART MUSEUM… get few inspiration from the artworks… INTERESTING one… oil painting that was as real as human… d realistic of the paint and the size of it…absolutly stunning… one word BEAUTIFUL…my fav was an installation from Elämäni albumi (The album of my life). cant take pic in gallery la… so cant show u lo…come c urself ooOo…keke… CUN man!!! Is photo collage stick all together on different materials, got depth of field and the one most interest me is the artist stick an antique camera on it… really nice ler…plan to do one for myself too…and than frame it nicely and hang at my room… GIANT BIG BIG BIG frame…hoho



Oh no…I still got a few areas yet to explore in Helsinki…I hvnt been to the TEMPPELIAUKIO CHURCH which was blasted out of solid rock and the ceiling is faced with copper wire- very unusual architecture- on of the most popular tourist attractions. I just have to be there during summer (better weather to move ard)…tmr will be NIGHT OF THE ART at the whole Helsinki city-there will be music and art performance, more food and stuff to buy…keke…is a night not to sleep day…yesss… I just have to be there. Summer are sure happening here ☺

Helsinki Part 5- modern + ancient

The buildings here are modernized from ancient buildings. There are some rules for constructing. You cant remove certain parts of the ancient building to preserve the historical value of it. So u can imagine inside was semi-modern and semi-ancient. It was pretty nice thou. Diff is good…unique is brilliant. No wonder Finland is no.1 in the world for its architectures and interior designs. They certainly deserve it. I have witness it with my own eyes. oh yeaHH… it pays off for my tiring legs :P

i was damn early that day…probably is only 8am..it was freaking cold that morning… shaking i walk my way thru finding interesting places to hang on…

this was the shopping mall… dint really went inside… probably i should someday later

guardian angel in the air…


pyramids…nice one…sure this will look fantastic at night…with rays of light passing thru the crystal clear glass windows…

coffee, tea or ME :P


a cafe near the port… sure they know how to enjoy life :P btw, i din saw him waving hand to me :P probably he though i am too rude not to wave back. Sorry dude… my eyes just for leng zai…haha


Feels like in storytale castle… Once upon time, princess bla bla bla meets prince bla bla bla. They live happily ever after… keke.

Helsinki Part 4 – weirdos? for a reason?







I come across a group of students I think is high school that patrols along the street to ESPLANADE PARK. There are hot chicks ☺ & a bunch of weirdo.
Basically they can be categorized in several categories- punk, superman/superwomen, futuristic, rebellions, religious, army, casual and etc…each have its own so called leaders who will shout and give commands and others will just follow… they were dancing and by the end of the sections the pupils will worships to each others among the groups (which was divided according to the categories)… this was funny… the public ppl was so busy laughing and taking pictures and so do I ☺ have no idea what is this all about but who cares… I got them in pic…that’s all matters ;P



Helsinki Part 3- around the MARKET SQUARE


Tsarina´s Stone – Double headed Eagle

The oldest building in Helsinki… hv been renovated and modernized several times



Outdoor washroom… it was like a container and inside are packed…so limited space and of course it looks weird inside…haha…d toilet bowl is like a WOK (chinese cooking pan)…funny but very clean la…not like public toilets in M’sia :P


Helsinki part 2



A walk from the square market to USPENSKY CATHERAL at Katajanokka was pretty cold and windy. It takes approximately 10 min. When I reach up hill in front of the cathedral, trying to take some nice angle of pictures, I can feel my camera and myself almost being blow away… shaking… it was funny thou :P this church defiantly is another tourist attraction as there are many tourist bus bring foreign tourist from Asian, and other euro country. Have no idea why church has always been the tourist interest spot. Perhaps the architectures were pretty amazing when it was first build back in the ancient time. This beautiful masterpiece supported by giant granite columns was build back in 1868 dedicated to Virgin Mary. It was an Orthodox Church (official religion in Finland) designed by A.M.Gornostayev with great altar screen painted by a Russian artist. From the terrace around the cathedral, I can see a beautiful view over the heart of Helsinki.

I don’t think I get a nice pic here but is ok… still got plenty of time to come here again maybe during winter time…than the seas will be icy… and when sunset… wow…can u imagine the color that will be formed?
PRISMA – ice sea + LIGHT RAY- sun = NIGHT LIGHT = beautiful = MUST SEEEEEEE!!!

Haha…I was trying to imagine how things around me will look like when it was winter time…wat to do…I never play snow in winter before… Malaysia is 24 7 sunny and moist… winter is something I look forward to…
