Now this feels like spring! The last traces of snow are melting away, and it's getting more comfortable being outdoors these days. The animals and bugs are also out to enjoy the sun.

It's a fat squirrel right outside my window!

If all the work I have submitted are approved, and neglecting HR and MTS which I'm probably not going to map back to NUS, I only have one lab (28th Apr) and one exam (5th May) to go before the semester is over!!! Hopefully can get the transcript by 8th May, and set off on my trip soon. Still some issues not settled yet, because Li Kang suddenly has his internship approved, and may have to return to Singapore early.

Anyway, my tentative plan is to travel from Oulu to Tampere, Milan, Rome, Barcelona, London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, and back to Tampere, then Oulu. The whole trip should last from 17th May to 30th May. I estimate travelling, hostels, food and misc to cost not more than EUR 1200. And if I can get a ticket from Helsinki to London on 31st May, I could be back in Singapore by the 2nd, or even the 1st of June...
