GAh!

Heh... I deleted my travel schedule by accident! OK.. it's cause i tried clicking around and I can't understand Polish. Smart hor? And I tried changing my dates and voila, clicked sth that removed the whole section.

Well... if I have the time and patience, I will add it in slowly another time.

Anyway... I'm skipping Florence, thus spending close to a week in Rome. We both felt that it was better so as to save ourselves some sanity and energy (from lugging our baggage to and fro Florence). Plus, there's always the next time.

Krakow, I feel, is much nicer than Warsaw, albeit more touristy. Maybe it's cause I didn't really have a chance to see the Old Town in Warsaw due to the weather (it started raining 15 mins after we got there and we had a train to catch, so we decided to go back to the hostel where we met with the nice, bright sun!), but the Old Town in Krakow was nice. I spent 6 hours walking there today!

Well, glad I decided not to go to the Concentration camps though Yishan went. Think it would have spoilt my mood for the day and perhaps the next. It's just too unsettling for me. But I had a good day too! Finally, today feels more like summer summer with the sweltering heat. The past few weeks have been wet, gloomy and cloudy. I was out in Warsaw with my scarf and jacket most of the time, attracting the comment that I looked dressed for Winter. Hahaha...

Next stop: Rome!

Gah! Das Wetter ist schlect!

It is not funny when it rained in Bellinzona, the Italian speaking part of Switzerland where the weather there is supposed to be sunnier, when I was there yesterday.

It is not funny when it starts to hail in July, when I'm in town with a big bag of groceries and wearing my birkenstock.

The weather is bad! But the forecast is that it will be better in a couple of days time. Yay for that!

bzz... bzzz... bzzzzz...

There has been a housefly buzzing about in my room since yesterday... and it is just plain annoying. Guess this is what summer and spring brings... insects.

Have opened my window to let it fly out, but it's not taking the bait! Darn!

And I feel that my reflexes are so slow compared to that lousy, miserable, puny fly. Everytime i try to smash it, it would invariably escape... and I can sort of see my hands moving in slow-motion (as compared to the fly's motion), clapping or slamming an empty spot. Sheesh. why do I even bother?

Lunch is beckoning... Hungry!

'I just ate the butt of my bunny'

Is the above line that funny? Apparently, my sister thinks so... so this adds on to another of my funny 'Not funny' post.

As you can tell.. I'm back from France. Was in Rouen - a one hour train from Paris - and where Wanling Hotel was situated. Rouen incidentally also happened to be where Joan of Arc was burnt.

and what's a visit to France without going to Paris? love the city. and finally, a half day trip to Versailles

I have a whopping 250 pics... so give me some time to post them up. Everything there just seems massive...

Anyway, just realised that my room traps smell. When I eat there, the food smell is trapped there... then just now, I entered the room to scents of my washing powder as I brought some stuff up to dry by the heater... hahaha...

Phrase of the Day "Not Funny!"

Ok... I think one of the cats in my house likes me... It leaps onto my lap when I'm watching TV, it once hops into my bed.. But this is getting a little crazy... I opened my door a little while ago to find the cat lying there... Fine.. so maybe it wants to get in...

The next time I opened the door, I found a mouse outside it.. with the cat still lying there. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!! Ok... I have to clarify... the mouse is those kind of cute brown mouse. But STILL!!! I don't even know if the mouse is dead or alive cause it's too dark... I'm just hoping that the cat brings it to my Landlord soon...

To top it off, I was watching an episode of The Amazing Race whereby one of the tasks involved guiding a mouse through a minefield... Hurhurhur... This is so NOT FUNNY!!!

Ah well... I will be fine... I'm not that scared. Which I guess is a good thing. Luckily it's not like one of those big, nasty black rats back in Singapore. I. would. have. SCREAM.

Edit @ 12:43am: Kitty decided to take mousey somewhere else to play!!!

Laundry 101...

Another interesting tale to add to my exchange story... Did my laundry yesterday and I lost a white shirt! In return, I have a new lilac/purply colour one.

The culprit:

You! Stop looking for harmless! I washed you before and you were not supposed to run again!

The poor victims:


Heh... the table is white. SO go figure the colour of my shirt now... The good thing is it is coloured rather evenly. So... Hmmmm... I guess I can still wear this around...

Oh.. and I got new pruple socks!

Nah... this is not an advert for K-Swiss... Just that my white socks from K-Swiss got coloured purple too!

Ok... I know I should wash whites seperately from coloured. But when you only have a few pieces of white (read: a top and 4 socks), i just decided to throw it in cause I was too lazy to do it yesterday ma. And i will DEFINITELY wash that lousy pair of socks seperately from now on. Wahahahs...
