Finland: one babe, the country, the culture

Friday nite: La Bodega...no biggie deal, just want to highlight one salient fact about a Malaysian earning Malaysian average wages....there is simply no bloody way we can afford to hang out in places like La Bodega...for four person, bill came to RM200 for less than one and a half hour of yakking!! Bloody hell....staying in Malaysia, earning RM and trying to live like lords is merely impossible...luckily, there is the "company" to foot the bill... LOL

Finland: one babe

Saturday: went shopping with Finland blonde babe...she was nice and of course i had to pay for lunch coz it is just common Malaysian hospitality..but admittedly, she did not take the hospitality for granted and bought me a nice party ring from Azzexx...wonder why i choose to buy it though..not that i ever go clubbing anymore....

It is true that a woman scrutinize another woman more intensely than a guy...come to think of it, a guy just mentally strip the woman rite?...she has lovely skin and real blonde hair...quite good with her make-up skills, lovely clothes...and pretty shoes...not to mention a "to-die-for" Burberry pink label tote....hmmm....a girl can't help but envy (and guys can't help but envy me for having her to myself for 5 hours!!)...she even smell good...sigh...i need a manicure real soon...and a facial too...and new bags..and new shoes!!! muahahahhaha

Finland: the country

(1) 3 million ppl (equivalent to KL population)... AND more importantly, alot of blonde guys...note: i did not mention cute! but what the heck, i will take any

(2) vast, un-spoilt land...during summer, Finland babes and hunks retreat to their summer cottages for a vacation....

(3) Benefited from EU formation...strengthen Finland economy

(4) Car taxes are at 60% (although quite high in the european nations, still relatively low in comparison to the malaysian approx 100% tax)

(5) Public transportation is efficient and it is the norm to use public transport...they have tubes that run every 2 min

(6) Staple food: diary products, fish and potatoes

Finland: the culture (Finland babe vs. cina ah lian)

Culturally speaking, they are brought up in such different circumstances compared to atypical chinese malaysian girl.

(1) In Finland and also in most northern European nations, once you finish high school, regardless of gender, it is the norm to shift out and be independent. *for a moment here, i imagine all the good partying that comes with such practices at the age of 17*

Cina ah lian stays with family until marriage. Then, if lucky, honeymoon with just hubby...if not so lucky, honeymoon with hubby and immediate family...and if luck is totally down, honeymoon with hubby's family and extended family

Sigh....although i have nothing against the cina ah lian's way of life, i would want to own an apartment on my own and throw parties and cocktail drinks and movie nights with friends...

(2) Higher education is actually free in Finland. On top of that, government actually has a merit system and everyone gets a monthly subsidy from the government. Finland babe was given sufficient subsidy to cover her rental. She works weekends for books, entertainment, transportation and food. According to her, although she could asked for money from her parents, it would be rather embarrassing to do so...

damn it..yours truly cina ah lian here was still taking allowance until 21....and unshamelessly at that too!! She has been working on the weekends for 7 yrs!!.... Henceforth, you get independent mature 21 yrs olds….who can :-

(1) handle cash flow (for those who can’t, no worries - credit card debts are the norm),

(2) socialize and party as they like (from my stand point, this sounds amazingly fun and at the same time too unprecedented it becomes somewhat creepy should we throw this lifeline to our society) An interesting fact to note is that in southern Europe (i.e. Italy, France etc), the kids only move out to roam the world when they are 21…i.e. after a decent college degree.

Ahhhh…the wonders that can never be mine…and yet, I m happy I had my own experiences
