-Italy 15.09.08-24.09.08-

it's been quite a while i didnt update my blog ever since the last blog dat i've posted, dat was almost a month ago. quite busy nowadays, apart from dat, honestly, im lazy! dat explains everything. =P anyway, tis Italy trip of mine, enjoyed it very much, altho it was quite tiring. 9 days of travelling, rushing here and there, to get to all of places dat we've planned to go. yea, we did went to all the places dat are in the schedule. fuh, relieved.

let me tell u wad we did in our journey, starting from glasgow airport, where we are goin to depart for Milan airport. our flight is around 5 something in the evening, and we walked to the train station to grab a train to the airport. so off we go, flying off to Milan. by the time we reached Milan, it was already 10something at night, and in order to get the cheapest train down to Rome, we waited in Milan airport until 4++ in the morning, and took a bus to Milan Centrale to hop onto the cheapest train. we suffered, like beggars in Milan airport. there's no chair for us to sit, so we need to sit on the floor. and we used our backpack as our pillows. of course, we cant sleep, imagine sleeping on the floor, in the middle of no where, with all the strangers looking at us when they walked pass us. dat very moment, i missed JBC Block H12-4, my comfy lil bed. sobsob. we met yieng and her bf there, and she joined us. we played cards to kill our time.

then finally, it's time to get onto the bus to the train station. it took us around 30 mins to reach the train station. there was no seats number on our tickets, so we just simply choose a cabin and 3 of us, shyan me and hongning, took a 6seats' cabin, while deb's gang was next to ours. so we slept all the way to Rome. checked in in Casa Olmata, and the very first moment when i saw casa olmata, i started to feel uneasy. "OMG, this is the place dat we r goin to stay for 4 nights?" a very old, cacated place. but actually it wasnt dat bad tho, cuz we have free breakfast every morning, and we can drink unlimited hot drinks. drank chocolatto all the time. and we did payed 2 pounds for dinner, prepared by casa olmata, it's called spagetti party. they served few kinds of spagettis. not bad.

we went to Spanish Steps, Via Condotti, where i bought my Gucci purse there, there's LV, PRada, Dior, Burberry, OMG!! i cant wait to earn my own money and shop at this kind of places. we went to Navona, Trevi Fountain, Colleseum, Roman Forum, Palantine, St Pietre, and some other places which i've forgotten the names. we had lotsa ice creams, Gelati. i think i had 5 times of ice creams. pistacchio is the best among all. fragola is nice too. oh ya, we went to Rome Hard Rock Cafe too. it costs us 12.50euro each. bought some souvenirs, and i asked for 2 free gifts from them, but i gave one to deb and another one to hongning.

after Rome, we went to Florence and spent a nite there. the place we stayed was horrible! and it's like a haunted house. we went to Vatican city, leaning tower of Pisa. not many places to go in florence. after dat we went to Venice. a very romantic place. sat the gondola for 15 euro each, water bus, etc. bought some murano stuff. get a free murano earrings "libre" which means FOC in italian, from a murano shop, cuz the salesmen there are all very hamsap. we stayed in camping serinissima, the best place among all the other hostels. spent 2 nights in Venice, and the last nite in Milan. the last 2nd day in Milan, we received sms, saying results just came out! shit, everybody was bloody nervous, but we were trying to tell ourselves not to think bout it. enjoy to the max first.

overall, we enjoyed ourselves, and we came back in a piece, we din lose anything.

reached glasgow, reached JBC, suvyen passed everything. i was damn nervous, i din wanna check my results, thought of taking a shower, unpack my stuff, then only check. who knows, debbie's gang, hongning and ikshyan were so nervous, they started to go online and check. sigh. i got a very bad feeling. but finally, they asked me to check, so i get myself prepared and i saw "PASS" for all the subjects! i couldnt believe it! i passed PP3! and FMT 2! and luckily i got above 50 for my CMA. relieved wei!

in order to celebrate our success, the whole H12 passed the exams, we went to Yates and had dinner.

dats all for now, was exhausted after working whole day.

photos to be uploaded some other day.
