Location: hostel, Imatra
Time: 2145 Finland
Weather: bearable
Feeling: bored

Was feeling very hungry when I came back from school. The moment I enter the hostel, I dumped my bag and headed for the fridge. I ate what ever I could lay my hands on. Russians were kind enough to give me some fish. And I burnt my waffles because the temperature was too high and I left it in the oven for too long.

After that I slouched in Taiwan’s room and even offered to help with their homework. Yes, we were that bored that we want to do someone’s homework. Ya Chen then had to go to the €1 shop to get some containers. But too late. By the time we got to the shop, it was already closed and the worst thing was it closed 5 mins ago. Argh. Finnish people are so lazy!!!! So we decided to walk around and we entered Sipari (clothing shop). The moment we stepped out of the shop, the shopkeeper started bringing in the clothes that were out for display. Like what!!! Then we went to the supermarket nearby. This was even worse. While we were still in the supermarket, they stared switching off the lights!

When we got back, it was time for dinner. I didn’t know what to cook as I have been eating the same thing ever since I got here. So I jokingly asked Tze Yi to cook for me. And she agreed! Wah! She was baking some muffins at that time so I gladly took over the beating of the eggs while she prepared my dinner. My dinner turned out to be stir fried macaroni with carrots, vegetables and sausage. Pretty much the same as what I eat everyday but it was tasty.

After dinner we helped with Tze Yi’s muffins. She was making apple muffins.

1. “fry” the apples and add cinnamon.
2. make batter
3. put some batter into the whatever container
4. put some apples in the middle
5. pour the rest of the batter
6. bake

I tell you, the muffins were mmmm. She also made garlic spread which I thought was better then the ones outside as the garlic taste wasn’t as overpowering. Oh…I think I forgot the say that Tze Yi is studying restaurant management in Taiwan and had worked in the kitchen before so she knows all these culinary stuff.

Too much fun at one shot so it got boring soon. Swee Ting and I watched Ice Age 2 and now Swee Ting has found a way to entertain herself by tying my hair.

We promise to abide by Espall's #1 rule
