In Helsinki, Finland

After 5 weeks back home in Singapore, doing the local projects, which were extremely busy (it was almost as good as not being in Singapore). Hardly seeing any friends. However, I managed to take a couple of days off to KL with my family to attend my sister graduation. I was a nice short break (but never enough).

Once again, I’m on the road and currently in Helsinki for a week, beside it’s freezing my ass off and it’s hardly seeing any daylight here. The sky starts to brighten up at around 1030am (which is still not very bright as well) and darken again around 230pm. So I guess this is a country ideally for Vampire to live in…lol. Anyway, I managed to take a short walk into the city yesterday and it was quite nice and I love the local shopping centers here, which sell a lot of local brands.

I’m quite disappointed in a way because I missed the Singapore ZoukOut of the second consecutive years! I need to start to plan my leave for next year.

Next project is at Kunshan, China which I’m not looking forward to it. Although it’s about an hour away by car to Shanghai, there is literally nothing there! Apparently the nearest convenient store is 20 minutes away by taxi!) Which mean, there would be much Christmas and NY celebration!. It’s going to be a busy project as well. But then, I’m looking forward to then end of the project because I will be going home for 2 weeks holidays for my Chinese New Year!!.
