just met up with a very old friend for coffee, and to return the warm clothes that i had borrowed from him for my france trip, for that i'm forever in debt to him..
he just got blissfully married to his university sweetheart.. how nice..

and i just realised that he had went finland for his exchange programme!!
not that i just found out, he told before but i'd forgotten about it..
it just got both of us excited..
we talked about the long winters and the crazy things we did during them..
saunas, rolling naked in the ice, swimming in frozen lakes..
he'd been to oulu, kemijiavi, santa's village, the arctic circle..
FINALLY someone in singapore who don't think i'm crazy..
who had done those things that i had done, been to places i've been to..
i've found relief..
