Me, Me and Me!!!

   I really really enjoyed the disco, A LOT. I went there last Saturday. And the weird thing here is the disco only opens after 11pm. So, we left the house at 11.30pm, reached the disco at 12am. Had to wait outside in the cold, in my miniskirt and halter top and thin jacket in minus degrees temperatures for like 10mins to get in. The line was sooo long, and I heard that usually you have to wait for like an hour to get in. It was because my friends knew the bouncers thats why we only waited 10mins. Gosh, imagine the cold!

   Also, because its impossible to dance properly with a handbag. My sister advised me to not bring a bag, but to keep everything in my boots. So, I had 2 packets of tissues, my lip gloss, my money, and the disco ticket all stuffed into my boots. Amazingly, it wasn t uncomfortable or anything though. I managed to dance in my boots the whole night with all the things stuffed in it.

    It seems though that everything was striving to stop me from going to the disco though. Cos we were supposed to go like weeks ago, only all sorts of events conspired to keep us from going. Like, my friends went on holiday, my friends fell sick and etc. Then, last Saturday, I fell sick. I felt feverish, and i had a running nose and a cold and all. And I was seriously considering not going to the disco, but I prayed that God would heal me and HE DID! In fact, I didnt have to blow my nose at all for the whole 4 hours that I was in the disco, and I din feel sick at all. A miracle!

   For the first time in my life, I wasnt feeling self conscious.. I wasnt worried about how short my skirt was or how much skin I was showing. I have no idea where all my confidence came from. I enjoyed dancing so much! I never expected myself to enjoy the disco so much. In fact, because I was dancing with my friends, I ended up dancing on the raised cube thingy in front of the DJs booth. Normally, I wont even dance, and now, i actually danced in front of a floorfull of people. Was fun though! Im really gonna miss the discos when I get back to Msia.

   Cos the discos on Msia is different somehow, cos there are hardly any weirdos at the discos here. Like the chances of meeting hot cuties are high, and the crowd is much younger too.. Its like most of the ppl there are below 20. And you can dance without being considered sluttish..

   I hope I get to go to the disco at least once more before going back home.

Im really starting to detest the snow. Number one, its so freaking cold. Number two, I am stuck at home, and cant go anywhere… It gets frustrating.

But on the other hand, its pretty cool too.. The experience in itself is cool. Like the snowstorm thing and having to wear snowshoes, and snowchains on the car, having to shovel the driveway, brush mountains of snow of the car… In a way, it is cool.

But I think I prefer the sun. Especially when the snow is preventing me from doing the things I want, like going to the cinema, going to the disco, going out with my friends. That s when I start hating the snow.

    Well, this will be a post all devoted to fashion. So, if you are a guy or not interested in fashion. I suggest you just stop reading here in order not to bore yourself.

    First, the biggest colour here is pink. I see pink everywhere in every shade imaginable, from fuchsia, to pale pink. And I realised I especially adore guys who wear pale pink T shirts, like pink so pale its almost white… Wow, I just find it so hot!

    Then, brands are huge here. I see branded stuff everywhere, I dunno how the heck the teens here manage to afford such pricey goods. Dolce & Gabbana seems to be the biggest brand here; its D&G everything everywhere. D&G scarves, wallets, belts, shirts, jeans, etc. Then, for ladies, the brand seems to be Gucci. I see tons of Gucci belts too. Then, Prada is hot as well..

   In fact, its half crazy! There is a guy in my class who wears Prada sport shoes. And I am like, hello?? Its school, not a fashion runway or at the office or whatever. Then, another girl in my class wears a Gucci cap. Another guy uses an Armani wallet. And everybody everywhere is wearing Dolce & Gabbana T shirts, belts, etc. I dunno how the heck everyone affords it. Sigh.. And I am living in a SMALL village, they dun even consider this place a town. Imagine how bad this fashion thingy will be in places like Milan or Rome.

   The other day, a girl told me about how during Sales time, the ladies in the shop would snatch at clothes to try on. And then, the line at the Changing Room would be too long, so people whould try on their clothes outside the changing room, in between the racks. Whoa…! And she said that these people weren t even teens but middle-aged women. Like major whoa…!

    And did I mention to you that I have been wearing this ugly huge white jacket over here in this Fashion Country. I have to wear it everyday and I detest the jacket. The other day I went to the shopping centre and within 15 mins I met 3 guys wearing the same jacket. Get that, its a guy jacket, not a ladies!!! Gosh, I am wearing A MEN s JACKET….. And to make things worse, there is this guy whom I meet everyday cos we take the same bus home, and he wears the same jacket as me. And he is not even cute or anything, but all nerdy.. *sigh*

   OKie, that s all I have to say. Need to go blow my runny nose. Yea, I am starting to feel a little sick from the extreme cold. I consider myself blessed if the temperature is above 5 celcius. This morning, its was -5. Brrr. its COLD!

   Sorry for taking forever to blog, I really do apologise.. Well, making lame excuses: the com at home lags and I was waiting to come to school again to blog… And I just had to email my cousins and Krys.

Anyway, lots has happened since my last post. Ive done quite a bit of travelling during my 2 weeks Christmas vacation. We went on day trips to Venice and Milan. Venice was a dream, and was awesomely romantic and fabulous! I went there together with Le Anne, a South African exchange student (yes, we share similiar names), and her rich family. We had a 2 hr drive there in her Papa car. And heres the best bit! I SAT IN A GONDOLA!!!!!!! That was a dream come true for me, honestly, I never thought in my wildest dreams I would get to sit in a grand gold and red gondola with black leather sits and squishy pillows! WOW! And having a hot gondolier row us in the narrow canals, past ornamented marble bridges, palazzos, and enjoy the scenes.. the sight of sunlight reflecting on the water is just pure bliss. Plus having the other tourists gawk at you and take photos of you is a definite plus, ehehe.. And I found out that the 15 min gondola ride costs €80!!! Thats equivalent to about RM360!!! Gosh, thats effing expensive! But of course Le Annes rich dad had sponsored the ride and he refused to let me pay a cent, and since I figured he is rich and can well afford it, so, oh well, he can pay if he wants to…

Then, the Milan trip was with my sister, Elisa. And Le Anne. We took the train to Milan, feels good to be independent taking trains and buses alone around town. We spent the day walking around Milan, doing a little shopping, taking photos of everything and walking and walking and walking a lot.. We got to see the Duomo, the church. And its beautiful, I think Michelangelo did part of the murals and frescoes and statues. It was breathtakingly beautiful, I really do admire the ppl who spent years hanging outside the enterior of the church just carving away at the marble. It really has to get your respect, theyre such geniuses.

Well, all in all. Im happily contented with life, mostly. Its been pretty good!

Ciao!
