Guild, Asian Food, Kebab, Pool and Futsal

Fri has arrived and it started wif the guild talk. Guild of EE, very alike Engin club. Their 1st presentation was last week but as with engin events, no one turned up. This week was better, there were 4! me n xz making up 2 of them. 4/13 was a gd number. i guess the same taboo remains.. engin boring.. well they have certain activities coming up. the winter day(sports day) and the sauna.. but as wif nus, the no. of gals in EE only 20%.. anyway, after that, our very nice vietnamese tutor Tu Duong then agreed to bring us to hakaniemi, the asian market (helsinki has no chinatown by the way).. it has a lotta asian stuff which we are so so deprived of. tofu, siew mai, a lotta cai xim, kailan, fresh meat, chilli sauces, soup base, canned food, longans (imported 16 euro for 3 kg! which we will contribute to the CNY feast we are having on sg reunion dinner day.) there were many asians at the stall too as it is opened by a malaysian lady.
















he seemed a very nice guy apart from his hs ness.. he treated us to kebab! well i sort of treated him to pool 1st but yar.. pool was in a smoky place like west coast recre like tat.. 8 euro/hr.. we spent 2 hrs there and there was some eye candy in the neighbouring table which our hs tutor was making all sort of remarks so i took this pic for him















After that, he brought us to Kamppi for this great Kebab place and treated us to dinner (9 euros). FYI, kebab was started by the middle eastern pple and i love the decor of the place. It had all these arabian carpets, rugs, lights and the serving was damn huge and so much meat too. Look at the kebab making machine.. he is scraping the meat from the brown stuff there.. there are fries, chicken, rice, tomato, salad wif nice sauce.. and the equipment is all authentic.. presenting EERIKIN PIPPURI KEBAB.( eerikin name of street, pippuri is pepper).

Lovely
Decor!












He then brought us to see this chinese buffet place and then we set off for home. When we reached home at 10 pm, we realised that our mexican fren roberto had emailed us to say that they were playing soccer from 9 to 11 pm.. how cool is that.. soccer at nite.. hence we rushed to otahalli the sports complex to play football.. it was another great game.. there was this guy who looked like zidane and kinda played like him too.. but europeans are really good.. they aint rough but they are physical and they can shoot from anywhere.. its like they have long legs, so they can push the ball past u n run easily.. and their reactions are super fast.. one hr was enuff to make us exhausted considering we were out the whole day..

Some fast facts abt finland.
(1) Pets are allowed in shopping centre. imagine people walking dogs in wisma atria.. but the dogs here are all so cute!
(2) People like to eat wif fork n knife.. even rice.. so u scoop the rice up wif ur nice.. and they like to put jam on their stuff.. so rice + jam will appeal to them.
(3) Education here is free all the way cos the gvt wants to encourage education. So the polytechnics here actually offer bachelors degree and the unis are all straight masters programme which pple normally complete in 6 to 7 yrs.

P.S I am thinking abt internship in finland.. dunno whether this is true but one month can earn 1800 euros for lab work.. but the downside is that it is irrelevant to my course( concerning physics and they are also looking for masters students) but it pays damn well la...

Bang Bang!
