Me, Me and Me!!!

   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!
