Part 2- FOOD

Okay, sorry for the delay..
Now is time for me to show some FOOD!


Well, not exactly food that you'll get to eat in Yliharma,
it's food that i've tasted while i'm with mt Rintanen family. =)

Guess what is this??

It's a kind of cheese!! Did you guess correctly?

You can add some jam to eat with it, also warm it up with the micro~

It's a kind of dessert? The taste was quite good, sweet cheese?

Next, is a traditional food of Finland

Well, i'm sorry that i've actually forgotten the name of it!!

The outside layer is kinda like bread, in the middle, there's something like rice/porridge.

You can find these from the grocery store but home-made taste alot better.

As you can see, this greenie thingy is PEAS~

Well, i think it looks abit like Japanese Edamame but they taste really differently.

These peas are eaten rawly, you dont have to cook it.

Be aware that once you start eating, you wont want to stop. haha

The taste is abit sweet compare to those normal peas we had in Msia

You can eat the whole thing, or just eat the peas in it.

I prefer only the small peas in it, the outside layer taste bitter ==

Now, i'm gonna show something non-halal. So stop if you cant watch.lol

Pork patty by my host dad!

Saw that yellow bottle with "Koti tinappi"?

That's my favourite mustard sauce!!

I have 2bottle in my home now =p

Also, you can have some salad to go with the pork.

I miss those salad..

Okay, i'm not an alcoholic, but i think i did drink quite alot while i'm in Finland.

Now i'm going to show some of the drinks i've tried.

Leijona

no comment, to avoid you all to think that i'm an alcoholic, lol

Long drink with berry flavour,

Suitable for ladies

Now is time to show some home made delicacies.

Prepared by my host mum!!

Berry porridge~

Looks weird to you? It looks weird to me when i first saw it.

It's abit sour because of the berries BUT, once you add some milk in it,

It taste GOOD~

I'm gonna show my FAVOURITE FOOD now,

THE WORLD BEST PANCAKE!!!!

Oh no, my saliva coming out just thinking of it..

mum, i want pancake. =(

Lastly, this is something really meaningful to me.

It's the best cake i've ever tasted..

Strawberry cake,Made by Hanna

I LOVE YOU~

mina kaipaan sinua.. =(

yves larock, rise up

My dream is to fly

Over the rainbow so high

Rise up

Don't falling down again

Rise up

Long time I broke the chainsI

try to fly a while, so high

Direction's sky

I try to fly a while, so high

Direction's sky

My dream is to fly

Over the rainbow so high

Rise up, rise up, rise up

We'll meet again

Rise up, rise up, rise up

From my mind and my brain

This is one of the songs i'm addicted to now, i'll need to listen to it almost everyday!!

This is also the song that used to be our wake up call during my stay in the camp~

The DJ was Reeta, i miss her voice!!

She always starts with: "This is Reeta speaking...... "

Btw, she's also a one piece fans just like me!!
Also, her orange hair is really striking!!
Aikz, i think i really miss her. =(

Technicolour- All my Life

To all the friends we've lost

And all the things we've seen

There's just so much time

And miles in between
Well it's been a long, long time

Since I've seen you around

Tell me where you've been

Tell me what you've found
It started out as fun Never slowing down

Now I'm stuck on the run

All my life

Waited for a song to sing

All my life

Always something missing

All my life

I've been nearly broken

But I ain't choking now

To all the time I've lost

I'm raising up this glass

It's all been worth the cost

But the candle's burning fast
It started out as fun

Never slowing down

Now I'm stuck on the run

All my life

Waited for a song to sing

All my life

Always something missing

All my life

I've been nearly broken

But I ain't choking now

Well, the water was actually FREEZING COLD~
However, is really FUN and EXCITING!

LOOK at the clear water~~

Now, i'm driving on the lawn machine~

Dont worry, they didn't force me to do the garden!
I was the one who insisted to drive this thing!!

To me, is a really fun thing to do.hahaha

Look, this is actually the trampoline!

I"ve stayed 2nights there with my dear brothers~

Freezing cold at night but when the sun starts to shine, is abit hot.lol

Of course, with such lovely dog, we need to take them for a walk!

I love bringing them to walk in the evening.

Good exercise and also fun to look at them~

When we're having walk in the forest, you'll see lots of berries!!

Pick and eat if you want~

Besides walking, i definitely also went cycling!!!

Not to forget, FINNISH BASEBALL

Is different from the normal baseball that u've seen.

I also try to play abit with my brothers, kinda fun~

Look at the lovely path, i took this when we're having a walk in the evening.. (abt 9pm)

Also, i've visited my familiy's broiler farm. Look at all those chicky~

WAhahah, one funny thing, i've been interviewed by the local paper~

Ooops, i almost forgot.. I was sunbathing under this lovely sun.
Pls dont say i'm crazy, the sun there is alot softer. You'll fall in love with it!

Coming up next, food and scenery in Yliharma.

Malaysia girl is at home now!

yup! Malaysia girl, that's one of the name they call me while i'm in the camp!
I'm back to my own tanah air(homeland) lol.
Do i miss Finland??
the answer is YES!!
I miss the green environment, the "peacefulness", also the great people i meet there.
OF course, i'd also miss my friends and family in Malaysia.
I guess that's life, C'est la vie!!

i feel a little bit confuse now.lol

Now the driver side is back to the right side,
the switch to on the light is to press down,
when i eat rice, i get to use fork with spoon and not fork with knife,
i dont have to wear long sleeve or jacket with me all the time
i dont have so many variety of ice cream to choose from
No more ham cheese bread tomato and cucumber as breakfast
No more yummy dessert that i really like a lot
no more dishwasher
Less exercise opportunity
I dont have to speak english all the time
the people i meet on the street are not so tall and fair anymore..
The sky starts to get dark at 7pm...
No more cooling weather..

This 40days in Finland will be one of my greatest experience of my life...
I'll never ever forget the things that i've done,
the people i've met.
I love all of you!!
I hope you'll never forget me too..

A little bit of sadness...
Still, life goes on!!!

All my dears,

I'll be going to camp on sunday morning for total of 9days
Then i'll be flying back to Malaysia!!

During this 9days, i most probably wont be able to online..
hhmm, should be no computer during that 9 days..
I'm not sure but i think usually when you're in camp
you wont be able to use pc right??

Need to start packing things again..

I've watched The Holiday yesterday,
I think my life is abit similar with the situation in there,
except it is not that dramatic,
and i didn't met any hot guy here. lol
I've took a 12 hour journey of flight
to a country that's totally new to me.
I've now got 2 more family here
I've learn to speak some Finnish
I've met lots of different kind of people
I've saw many beautiful sceneries

It opens my eyes...
I'm glad that i've choose to go Finland.
This is one of the greatest trip i ever had in my life.
I like everything about Finland,
except for the cold weather. lol
I should had pack thicker and longer cloths. lol

btw, Vern question make me realize that i havent introduce my second family yet. lol
Antti father
Anne mother
Anu Eldest sister
Anneli Elder sister
Annina yougest sister

If you're observance enough, you'll realize their name is quite similar?? And my name fit them too. lol My mum(i mean my real malaysia mum) did joke about that they choose to host me because my name fit into the family. hahahaha
That's not true k? It's just a joke

The previous post, i'm with my pretty youngest sister, Annina. Usually i spent most of the time with her. She bring me to the mall, movies, meeting with her friends etc. She's a very nice and friendly girl!! I believe that she has lots of friends, she introduce lots of friends to me but is hard for me to remember all their names. lol Also, she's quite a funny person. I had lots of fun spending time with her.

Of course, i've also spent time with Anneli too. She's a very energetic person and rather cute too. lol I liked her very much. haha Some funny thigns happen when we're together but i better keep it to ourselves. lol

Anu, the eldest sister. She's also a funny person too. She gave me the feeling of a rather cool person but she's actually quite humorous too!

Antti and Anne, hhhm, although i didn't really spend much time with them, i realize they're really funny people too. I starts to wonder is it all Finnish people love to joke and have fun too??
Of course, besides being funny, they're very caring people too.

I'll like to thank them for taking care of me for this two weeks.
thank you =)

Silly post. lol

Hhhmm, i think many of you havent been seeing my face for quite some time rite??

Is everybody had a great time learning animals here?? lol

That's all for today my friends..

See ya again soon.

Meet Again

The happiness of meeting all of them is underscribable by me.

I'm so happy with the surprise my families in Finland gave me!!



Yes,

My Rintanen Family came to visit me yesterday!!!

YAY~

I'm so so happy that i just cant stop smiling and laughin. lol



one week ago, i was crying so hard

and huala, there here in front of my eyes!!



Let me slowly explain how that day starts...

I woke up rather early,

had my breakfast and starts to wander around the computer

then head to the living room up stairs..



I've asked Annina whether we're going out coz i saw them dressing up quite nice

but she said that we would only be going out later

not anytime soon..

I didn't suspect anything so i continue to wander around reading magazines.

After awhile, Annina offer me to play Singster,

a game that you know how good you can sing. lol

About the points i've got, i wont tell you. haha



When a song was playing half way, Annina suddenly said we should go down.

At this very moment, i still didn't suspect anything,

I thought may be we should go down to do something or what.



I didn't go down straight away,

i went to the toilet and then only walk down slowly..

I head some noises while i'm at the stairs

but i thought they're some guest here..

Well, there are really some guest....

Very important guest for me!!!

Is them, my family from Ylihärmä!!

i was so so happy to see them!!

I give a big big hug to all of them =)


I've been dreaming of seeing them again and my dreams come true!!

Although the time we get to spend is quite short,

I know we'll meet again really soon.

Looking forward to that day.

minä kaipaan sinua

btw,

Do you all still remember the 3 Finnish sentence i've mention in earlier post??

1)minun nimeni on Ann

2)Minä olen yhdeksäntoista vuotta vanha

3)Minä asu Malesia sa

1) Jordan had got it correctly, it means my nams is Ann
2) I am 19 years old
3) I live in Malaysia

Do you want to learn more Finnish?
What do you like to learn?

cheerin up.. =)

After 4days of adjusting myself..

Finally, i have some smiles on my face.



To my friends and family,

I'm sorry to let you worry about me.

I've recovered =)



What was the main thing that helps me feeling better??

You wont belive it,

Yes

is clubbing!!!



I went to a bar called CRAZY BAR (i forgot the name in Finnish, Houlupoulu??)

Entry was 2euros per person

And all drinks only cost 2 euros!!

Cheap right?



So what did i ordered?

A shot in Salmiaki flavour, you need to drink it in one shot, a bit too strong for me. lol

A long drink, Taste rather good, i liked it

An UPcider, i wonder the speling is correct...



The most embarrasing thing was i throw out. =(

In the toilet of course.

I think having empty stomach and go clubbin is not a really good idea for me

Still i have lots of fun there.



I think is abit different from Malaysia coz not many people was dancing.

They told me that nobody will dance unless they're drunk!! lol

They're shy people.



Besides clubbing,

I've also met some Italian girls and a german girl.

Is quite international meeting for me.

My very first enconter with so many different people in Europe.

I learn alot about European thanks to them. =)

OF course there's still alot more for me to learn..

That's alll for today..



Is everyone having a happy day?

YEs? NO?

Anyway, i wish everybody is happy



and



Minä kaipaan sinua
