i'm a housewife

I'd love to blog about interesting happening stuffs of me traveling here and there, partying hard...but alas...not...

For the past week, I have baked bread, made sushi, today I made steamed fish teochew style (ho ho ho 1st time!!! successful sumore!), cooked chicken curry, even steamed pao and I am currently fermenting kimchee (korean fermented vegetables)...memang free until can't bersuara lei...sien...currently I even took up gardening!!! hehe not really la, but I bought a pot of pansy...I shower it with love day and night, when I eat, it also eats by soaking up the sun...when I drink, I water it...but there was one time when I took shower, I mistakenly also terover showered it with water...it almost drowned and died...I had to call emergency (my housemates la...I also bought each of them a pot, but theirs blossoming well..mine the only unique cacat case) but managed to resuscitate it la, luckily...

Haihs...but not really a housewife per se lah...my room is a big mess...but I have memorized the location of every item in the supermarket near my house...and I proudly boast the fact that I know every single item on offer in the 5 supermarkets...the highlight of my daily life is reading the leaflets distributed by the supermarkets...haihs it's PATHETIC

On a brighter note, I am going to Berlin next weekend!!! hehehe.but just going 2 days la with Poli...WHAT, 2 days you may say?...yalo..what to do..i'm rich ma =P kidding, i'd love to stay for a week, but Poli has to work ma..but seriously I don't mind ponteng class wan la...

So anyways, happy belated Valentine's day to you guys...I spent it alone..kinda la, I went to the university to watch a film that evening with my classmate..he's a Greek and now I know why people describe devastatingly cute guys as Greek Gods...I mean, he's not a Greek god, just a Greek, and he's that cute already..hahah =P *wink...

I'm anticipating my kimchee to be ready...if it's successful then I will make..even more kimchee...well previously I had this kimchee craving ma, so I went like, 6 supermarkets to search for chinese cabbage..wahlao..I didn't know this vege is sooooo exotic here...I even took the bus to go all the way to the outskirts to look for it...also tarak...lastly I found it on a small Chinese sundry shop...that time terover happy d...so I bought like 2 biji besar besar wan...which is too much..if I one day fry once also can fry one week...so I guess make even more kimchee then donate to my 2 korean classmates la...

me posing with my new leather boots...made in italy lei...and now im papa kedana..broke...but dunno why the pic kenot see my face...

Of Trip to Venice

How can I summarize it ar? Two words, Beautiful/Expensive. But it's more expensive than it is pretty. Hehe. Ehhh 1 cup of cappuccino costs RM25 ok! and I took, like 2 cups of sth. You go do the math. Haha. Eat also RM100 adi...

But the carnival was really fun...the only setback (a major one too!) that it rained the whole day...So even the masked ppl were using umbrellas. Haha. But got a period that it didn't rain la..the fun part lo...

Near the Rialto Bridge

I went alone...Lili couldnt go cos the bus full already...me at 1st also couldn't go wan...but I used my persuasive skills to convince the traveling agency. Hehe Thank god I have not lost my charm yet. Curse or a blessing that I got to go, I dunno..because I spent RM600 just in one day. I returned with 3 masks and some souvenirs..I bought a TriAngel also! The one in the cantonese drama, Triumph in the Skies..hehee...Anyways, upon reaching there, I tagged and parasited myself with 2 other girls, an Italian and Australian. They were probably reluctant that I tagged along, but I buat duh la. haha. But they were very nice and fun! And Venice was super congested with ppl cos it's the last weekend of the carnival...Can see many types of cute costumes also..not bad..got some lengzais serenade us a song also...haha. I love the mask that I bought! Expensive..and I bought 3.. 10Euro each..my friend bought one 60Euro!! hers is super the pretty..but too expensive laaaa...
Piazza S.Marco and etc

Some pics...I still have to get some pics from 2 other cameras though~

The 2 girls I parasited, Miranda and Katerina...like my mask?


My 2 Prince Charming...I love the little girls' costume!

The 2 guys who serenaded us a song...should be Spanish kut...

Comel sungguh semua..

One of my fav.! Futurama robot?

All in all, it was a good trip...but it would have been even nicer if I got to take the RM400 gondola... hahaha hopefully the next time I go Venice, it would be with The Guy. hehehe. He pay la of course! And it'd better not rain too...Next time only I show the other 2 masks the I bought ok? Blue and Red. Now I belah to bed adi...sleepy..tmr I start a new level for Italian language..B2 lo me taking...

I'm going to Venice later lo...

Yalor..in 8 hours' time..I will be boarding a bus to Venice. heee heee. follow university la. cos no kaki. I was allocated in the 2nd bus wan, the 1st one was already filled up. Then mana tau early this morning I received an sms saying the 2nd bus is cancelled, so we will be refunded. Then I damn sedih lo, went to the shop to insist on going...I even offered sitting beside the driver. Haha. Anyways, I refused to leave the shop. At last, they relented la, somehow found a space for me. hehehe. so must go to bed early lo..6am must gather at university adi..just a day trip, for the Carnevale!

*********************
This morning, I went to the post office to post some documents, to Sweden. The date due is today (1st Feb)..so tot what if I send courier lo...wahhhh Euro35!!! Will arrive within 2 days. But leh hor...use normal post, only 2.50Euro wor. Will arrive within 5-6days. Chisin. 4 days' difference, 10 times' price difference. Obviously I opted for the latter. Since I already missed the deadline, what's a couple of days rite? Also got another one to Spain I have to send, but that one due mid-Feb..So in a way, instead of Euro35, I spent Euro2.50 each. Saved Euro65! So what did I do with the money I saved? Shopping laaaaa...now got end of the season sales ma. Bought 2 pants, 1 United Colors of Benetton handbag (which I thought was leather, but wasn't)...and 5 pots of flowers (one for each housemates. heheh you can call me sweet, or you can call me rich. lol. no la. feel like spending money today lo)..even called to chat with Lin almost 1/2 hour (girl miss u!)...I love the pants and also the handbag!!! hehe

*********************
Remember the cold war thingy in my house? Yeahhh now resolved adi lo problems,..but now I conclude that Italians are very..well..passionate..*blergh. Before going to the Post office, I went to photocopy some stuffs. I witnessed the shop owner (guy) and a girl (client) fighting very very loudly in the shop. They were scolding each other over some mistake in the photocopied stuffs. Personally I dont see what the big deal is..but as LB said, they can even fight over garbage..so I guess it must have been normal..In fact, the guy was sooooo engrossed and angry at the girl that he gave me free for the 4 pcs of photocopies I made, probably just to spite the girl. Haha. Italians. Chisin.

*********************
Today marks the 105th day (3.5 mths) of me being in Italy. Many asked me...
"so got kangtao ah?"
"got italian bf adi ah"
"remember to save me one ah"
Peeps, let me clarify..personally I have not seen any super lengzai ones ler. Nice looking..maybe..as Janice said, once you see them everyday..they look..well..normal..anyways, none looked like Cannavaro or Nesta or Maldini..

The truth is, before becoming a footballer, apparently you have to go thru this screening test for physique and appearance. Not lengzai kenot become footballer one. Obviously for Azzurri its even more stringent. So kesimpulannya all the lengzais are in the football teams adi. The rest..you go figure. Haha -_-" BELIEVE ME! That is the story of how I got cheated into coming to Italia...
