Yup. Whilst the hubs slog at the head office, I go spend his money.
But you would agree, right?
Wife spend hubby's money is "teen koong, tei tou"!
Well, since I am supposed to see what living here would be like... I joined the hundreds if not thousands of Finns crossing the Baltic Sea to Estonia. From what I have heard, Finns crossover for shopping, spa and relaxation. If we move to Helsinki, maybe this will be my weekly haunt?? I supposed most shopaholics take the car on the ferry to load up on the shopping.
The crossing takes 2 hours and I have one more hour to kill. Thank goodness there is free wifi. Thus my single-finger typing on my iPhone to update this blog. So please excuse me if you see lots of typos.
Did I mention that the Baltic Sea is all frozen. Wanted to take a photo...but but...more about my stupidity below.
Anyway, I have a guide waiting for me over at Tallinn , for a tour of the places of interest and the old medieval center. Unfortunately, this stooooooopid scrapbooker forgot to load the fully-charged battery into her DSLR. So Bodoh. Really. Donno what the brain is doing! Seriously have to start using it, otherwise it is no different from a frozen brain that can be cut up and devoured! I actually left my hand-luggage at Starbucks, Jakarta Airport and went to meet H in the lounge, happily reading my book for quite a bit. Then when it was time to get to the gate, he asked me where was my bag and I went "I thought you had it". Waliow! Panick aje. I ran off to Starbucks. Thankfully it was still there. Otherwise, DSLR will be gone! *sigh*
Serious. Either Helsinki or Jakarta or God Knows Where, once we have confirmed where we will be, I need to do something that utilize my brain. Lest those brain cells will have no chance to rehabilitate.
On a lighter note, both H and I went to Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite - Les Folies 2011 Workd Tourat the Hartwall Arena here in Helsinki. Didn't even know she was performing until I was flipping through some magazines last Sunday (20 Feb) whilst having a drink with H over at Casa Largo @ Hotel Sokos that I saw she would be performing in the city on the 22nd of Feb. Thought it would be fun to attend. Went online and managed to get tickets. I must be really out of sync as I don't know half the songs...cause I am still stuck in the "I should be so lucky...lucky lucky lucky" era! The finale was pretty good. Fountains and Cirque du Soleil-like performance.
And Enrique Iglesias is performing here in April. I supposed the good thing about living in Europe is that all these performances are easily-reachable ... Everywhere is a short hop away.
What is the difficult thing then?
I will leave that for another post... After I've visited the Asian Grocery Store, Malaysian Embassy and the International School of Helsinki.

Reading your blog will improve my geography. I have to google to find out where Estonia is. You so keng, one finger typing can type such a long post. Really lucky that your DSLR is still there and has not become someone's lucky find. I really enjoy reading about your adventures in Finland. Looking forward to more freezer stories.
Sounds great, u have covered so much ground already! Does it look promising? sounds to me like YES, worth considering! Not just coz of the shopping or concerts lah ;) Down here we've gone down to -20+ C, so I can relate to the crazy chill!! But the kids somehow adjust to that better than us adults.
A quick reply to your bak kwa Q... I didn't know got to stir in one direction, so had just stirred it all up, around, like with marinating any meat. Should be ok?
Happy belated birthday to your S2!! He's a dragon baby like my eldest!
Mun - my geography is also ma-ma-tei but I do remember Estonia getting their independence from Soviet Union many many years ago.
Ya. Lucky got back my bag otherwise donno how la.
Bp - it's okay la. Just got to get used to the cold, the ice, the snow, the no-sunlight! Went to the Asian grocery stores today. Very well-stocked so no oroblem. Now got to see how is the boy's school how
Estonia!!! I have a friend who is an Estonian although she lives in Canada now. It's quite an interesting country and culture...
You can blog really well with just one finger ;-)
