MooPig & The Babe

I just got off the phone with Daddy.

The older Daddy gets, the cuter he is!

I was complaining to Daddy that I have yet to see snow in London despite the -2'C temperature. (the 3 seconds snow doesn't count) And I never thought he would say this:

'OK, you wait ar, Daddy switch on the snow generator and it takes 24 hours to generate snow. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you will see snow'

LOL

And Claire calls my Dad Father Christmas

When chatting with Mommy this evening, she told me she's thinking of getting a handbag- either an LV or a Gucci. I told her that I'll get one for her from UK since it's cheaper here. And when I talked to her over the phone, she changed her mind again. (I never knew fickle-minded-ness runs in the family. It sure is in the genes! :P) When she passed the phone to Daddy, I told Daddy...

'Dy ahh... Mommy wants an LV or a Gucci bag lah'

Without hesitating, he said

'Go get one for her lor. You should have the money'

How sweet of Daddy to spoil her...

Claire now calls my Daddy Father Christmas since he said he'll generate snow for me and he'll get Mommy a new handbag! :)

Pisa


Florence

Got back from Pisa+Florence 3 days ago. Was too lazy to post up anything. I'm lazy to post up pic by pic so I collaged them.

None of us enjoyed the trip. By the third day, we were grumbling that the 4-day trip was too long and couldn't wait to come back to England!

Leaning Tower of Pisa was expensive. We paid 15euros to climb up the tower. 15 Euros for a morning exercise! I lost count of the number of steps on the way up. It was freeeezing cold too!

Florence... didn't quite enjoy it. Spent 2 days in Florence and a day in the outlet.
Food was expensive. The number one rip off is drinks. A glass of Coke/Orange Juice is 4Euros. And it's less than half a pint! We didn't order drinks after the first day. We bought bottles and bottles of mineral water from the local Supermarket and brought water with us every where we went.

We went to the Uffizi Gallery. After the first few rooms, I was yawning. I just don't appreciate the paintings there. The Louvre is much better! Went to Piazza Michaelangelo and I enjoyed that the most!! Breathtaking view! So 'Triumph In The Sky!' We also went to the Duomo (Dome) The rest of the time was spent shopping in the city centre and drooling over the Guccis, LVs, Pradas, D&Gs and yada yada.

We went to The Mall- The factory Outlet on the third day. I was hoping to bring home a few items from Gucci but in the end, I got nothing for myself but a Burberry Tie for my host father (Since his birthday is coming up in a few weeks time).

The accommodation we stayed was the worst placeI've ever stayed. (But then again... for the price I paid, I shouldn't complain much but really, I had expected it to be better) It was spooky. It was cold- heater wasn't working most of the time and I brought a thin PJ with me. The owner/staff couldn't speak proper English so we did the chicken and duck talk. The worst of all- the single beds had bed bugs! YIKES!

I came back to London with Baci, Mon Cheri, Kinder Buerno, biscotti, a wallet, a handbag, a tie, a cold and an itchy body- no thanks to the bed bugs in the B&B!

And I spent my Christmas with loads and loads of tissue papers! *Aaaa-Chooooo*

Can I have endless supply of Kleenex/Premiere as my Christmas present this year?

There goes 10 weeks of school.

I had my fair share of good and bad times in the past couple of months. I'll never regret coming to London. In fact, I think it's the best term I've ever had. But that's another story for another day.

Here I am, blogging from this little town I once called home. I left for Bangor at 9 this morning and arrived 3.5 hours later. I slept throughout the journey and was freezing my toes off in the train. I was shivering when I arrived.

Anyway, it feels good to be here again. I met up with a few friends and had an impromptu steamboat dinner. I'm just glad that I haven't put my cooking skills to waste. hehe. The soup was pork ribs soup. I just threw in whatever spices I could find in my friend's flat. :P I even managed to cook her lunch for her too! :) I was so excited to see Tesco Extra. I was literally clapping my hands in the car when I saw the Tesco Extra. Bloody huge! We spent about 2 hours doing grocery shopping. :P Carrot cake and tiramisu, anyone?

I'll be spending the weekend in a little town, catching up with friends and will meet a few lecturers on Monday morning before I leave for London.

It's good to get away from London for the weekend. I'm happy to be back to the good ol' Bangor.

I know how you feel
and I think you know how I feel
but I'm scared
I'm scared because I've been bitten once
and I'm shy for the second time

I don't know what's the next step I should take
because I'm scared
I don't know if I should stay like this...

I've always been a risk averse person
Perhaps I should take a chance this time?

I think I want it to happen
yet I'm scared...
and I don't know if I'm prepared for another commitment
