Tunteikas ja ?ßlyk?ßs
Siivotessa kaappeja l??yty t?ßllainen nimikortti. En ota kantaa muihin v?ßitteisiin, mutta viimeinen kohta on aika sopiva meik?ßl?ßiselle ;-)
Congrats Hanna and Teemu!
The happy couple finally got each other as they both said I do in front of the priest last weekend. This wedding was one of the best I’ve been to, even though I was a bit of an outsider among the close friends and relatives of the couple. Nevertheless the evening was a success along [...]
On WiFi… again.
Janne from ButtUgly blog has stated that surfing and talking to his loved one over a transatlantic flight is priceless, and thus 30 euros US dollars for 10 hours of Wifi is nothing. I dropped off my dad earlier this week to Parikkala, where he caught the train to Helsinki. He booked 1st class, so [...]
The first step
I took my first step in becoming an entrepreneur today, as I filed in a registration form for a company. The company is a sole proprietorship, so no messing around or I will cause myself a lifelong bankruptcy :) Hopefully not, though. In reality – this is just a formality as I have done some [...]
Friday already?
Damn, where did the week go? I haven’t been very productive this week, but still – c’mon, Friday already? Oh well – the weekend’s here so it’s all good. Have a good one!
Greets from Frankfurt!
I made it to Frankfurt, where I’m currently roaming at a cost of 8Ç«® per hour :) Costs a lot, but I managed to break my Finnish sim-card, so I cannot call anybody to pick me up from city centre in Helsinki. So therefore, hold on until the end of the week until I get [...]
Weird weird!
This is very cool and very weird at the same moment! There’s Roxy and Celia talking outside at 7.43 am! And I almost was not sure that I would see them, man – just goes to tell how much I like and care about these people…. very weird, very very weird. Are you suppose to [...]
2 days to go!
Damnit, 2 days left in Sydney. This feels somehow very unreal as the day of my departure always seemed so far away. Some of my good friends have already left Australia, like Vern so I will be one of the last ones to leave from the Autumn 2005 semester arrivals. Did some souvenir shopping today, [...]
Couch life
I’m writing this at 2.25am from a friend’s couch in Sydney. For certain reasons, I am not disclosing the location. I’ve been walking a LOT today with the 3 Finnish guys I met earlier this month. I travelled down from Hervey with them and decided to take them to Star City for the evening. It [...]
Back in Sydney
I got back to Sydney an hour ago. It’s only 9.45 here in the morning, the night bus from Byron Bay took 12 hours, instead of the scheduled 13. Looking back at the almost 2 weeks – it was awesome. Maybe I could have spent more time in some places and less in others, but [...]
Getting close
I’ll be sleeping one of my last nights in my flat tonight as I leave for Townsville tomorrow morning. I’ll be gone some 12/13 days and will be coming back to Sydney around the 24th. Nothing has been planned too far yet as I want to keep options open for spontaneous things. The downside of [...]
Back in Sydney
We got back to Sydney last night about 6pm. The trip back was tiring, but very rewarding as well – thanks to the McPherson family. Jamie took us to meet her parents on the way to Tamworth and we had the best brunch ever! On the way back we stopped over for lunch, T-bone steaks [...]
Tamworth
I’m writing this from Tamworth, a small 40 000 people town north of Sydney. We’re here to volunteer for 4 days for the eastern university games. That means that there are over 4500 uni students and volunteers in town for the week – should be fun! I also managed to book my flights to Townsville [...]
Back from Melbourne… and surroundings
Got back last night from Melbourne – nice trip all in all. It could have been better though, this time I somehow missed visiting the places with a friend. Like I mentioned before, I visited the Granpians and the Great Ocean Road, both of which actually rocked more than Melbourne in my opinion. When people [...]
Booked: Melbourne
All righty – I’ve booked my flights and accommodation to Melbourne. I’ll spending my midsummer, or midwinter should I say, there – from Thursday to Monday. I’m hoping to make a day trip with Autopia to the Great Ocean Road, which should have some magnificent views and thus should provide me with a couple of [...]
Photographing Circular Quay and the Rocks
I went to Circular Quay and the Rocks today with Carlos to take some photos and look around the market there. I managed to get 21 pretty decent photos in a very sunny and nice weather. You could have walked in a t-shirt along the pier, it was that hot (don’t forget it’s winter here!). [...]
Thanks guys!
Thank you guys, I had one of the best birthday parties ever yesterday. Received a card signed by tons of people, along with a cake and another cake later on. Oh, and some cup cakes as well. We were watching the State of Origin in Darlington Hotel and came back to eat some chocolate cake… [...]
Blue Mountains – second visit
Damn, what a day. We managed to drag ourselves to the Blue Mountains quite early on in the morning, as I knew this time that the trip there takes 2 hours and since it was the Queen’s b’day (read the first two paragraphs – Aussies sure know how to arrange their holidays) here, the trains [...]
Northern Beaches
It’s a small world all right. My friend from Holland is doing her “internship-holiday-thingy” in Tamworth, just 400km north of Sydney. It’s been about 1.5 years since I saw her last so she came down to Sydney for the long weekend (the Queen’s b’day tomorrow-public holiday) and we decided to go to the northern beaches [...]
Work, dinner, work
Today’s been a pretty busy day. I worked all day in uni on a couple of assignments and also managed to crawl through a group meeting. After that I got home around 6.30pm to go for dinner with my flatmates as a farewell/end-of-semester thing at a Lebanese restaurant in Surry Hills – good food, but [...]
Star City
These people are the best – where else do you get people asking you to go to the Casino at 2 am in the morning? And I was almost ready to go to sleep! Ok, so maybe it’s not all that good, but it was a fun way to celebrate the last exam a bit. [...]
A Finn!
I met a Finn yesterday! Teemu came over from Melbourne where he is doing his exchange for the same uni I attend back in Finland. It was weird talking to someone in Finnish – face to face. I noticed myself searching for words a bit, but also the style of speaking was “not very me”. [...]
June 1
June 1st is here – that means quite a few things. 1) I will be in Finland exactly in 2 months 2) I will turn 25 on the 15th. 3) I still need to figure out my travel plans for the end of the month and July.
One down
One down – change management’s final exam that is. I had it earlier today at uni. Didn’t get much sleep last night as I continued my tradition of cramming and leaving the studying to the last minute. The exam was quite ok – but I won’t really have a clue on the level of marking [...]
A night of football
So we stayed up watching the State of Origin on telly last night and having a few beers along the way. The match ended by 10pm and we stayed up to mingle for a few more hours. Then somebody remembered that, “hey Liverpool is playing AC Milan tonight in Istanbul – let’s watch that as [...]
