23 September 2008

Location: School, using computer
Time: 1547 Finland
Weather: 8°C, but it’s bearable
Thinking: Should I buy the top? It’s €19.90.


Yesterday Swee Ting and I went to collect my survival package which my mom sent quite sometime ago. The package really live up to its name. It's like the show Survivor and the package is the prize. The journey to the post office was a killer. We didn’t know where we were supposed to collect the package from so we asked the Taiwan girls as they have already collected theirs. Tze Yi collected hers from the city centre while Ya Chen had to go all the way to the custom as according to her, her package contained mainly food. So I was thinking mine contains food too so I should go to the custom. The custom was situated near the border of Imatra so we had to borrow Taiwanese’s bicycles. We cycled and cycled and cycled but no matter how much we cycled we could not find the post office. There were so many uphill slopes. We really tested our muscles. We almost cycled off the map of Imatra when we decided to ask someone to help us (the only thing present around us was wheat fields so we couldn’t do anything even if we wanted to). To our horror, the person told us that I had to collect the package from the post office which is at CITY CENTRE!!!! I was like WHAT!!!! WE CAME FROM THERE!!!! 1 ½ hrs of cycling for nothing. Ok…it wasn’t all for nothing. We saw beautiful scenery and even horses. We also bought some cheap groceries on our way back to city centre. But there were tonnes of these weird flies that kept sticking to our clothes and whenever you want to brush them off, you will accidentally squash them and they will leave a trail of weird colours. SICK.



We have no class today so Swee Ting and I went to Imatrankoski to make our ATM/ VISA card. The card looks really nice but too bad we have to return it when we close our accounts. After that we went SHOPPING. Ok…not exactly shopping. More looking then buying as usual. But H&M is having sales on their beauty range products so I bought a tub of body butter for €2.90 which I think is really cheap. I hope there will still be sales before I go back to Singapore. The packaging is so pretty. I think I’ll purchase the whole cosmetics section. Oh yah…and this sort of top/ dress. Very nice. I so want to buy it but its €19.90 which I think is a little expensive. And very impractical if I wear it in Singapore. Dilemma. More discounts please.


We promise to abide by Espall's #1 rule
