lil’ snow white

at san lio tourist house

havin our first supper

our supper was pizza frm a nearby bar which cost €3.50 per slice, plus peach tea which costs €3.50 per bottle. we were so shocked at e price of e drink.. that was before we got used to e exhorbitant prices ard e touristy sites. haha..

at doge’s palace

we visited e doge’s palace, where we went on a secret itinerary guided tour! e guide brought us to e cell where e famous casanova once stayed in and planned his infamous escape. we also visited other secret rooms like e torture chamber(!) n e attic etc..

e beautifully decorated ceiling in one of e rooms

photo takin was not allowed durin e secret itinerary n in many major rooms in e palace.. but us bein stupid singaporeans, jus hadda die die take some of them secretly. LOL! e ceilings were actually painted in gold n looked really magnificient, but e colors werent captured in e pic as i din use flash.

xiao xing tryin to get himself in e pic while i took a quick snap haha!

that’s us at st mark’s basilica!

the campanile (bell tower) at st mark’s square.

everythin looks really beautiful! ok note.. it’s e start of e trip.. so yup, everythin looks really beautiful. after 10 days, e buildings look abt e same everywhere wahaha!

us havin lunch at Al Vaporetto.

we had our first lunch at a restaurant far away frm st mark’s square so it’d be cheaper. there i had e best pasta i’ve had in italy!! a simple spaghetti wif clams, but it was so well done, we went back again e followin day (only to find it closed)!

shoppin on rialto bridge..

Rialto, e 1st bridge built across e Grand Canal, which was mentioned in e Merchant of Venice!

the beautiful sky.. on rialto. somehow baby jus can’t take e same nice pics for me!

it was short 2 day visit to venice, but we felt 2 full days was jus abt rite. we did quite a fair bit of walkin along e interestingly built, RPG-like streets, but e shops din exactly attract me. think they were too touristy n commercialised.. i was only attracted to e exquisite lookin masks but i din get any cos e one i liked cost €23! siao…

baby on e vaporetto, on our way to e train stn.

me n xiao xing bear bear on e train. cortina here we come!!

horrifyin rash.. if u can see it frm this pic.

so i bought a grape beauty milk frm loccitane. and all i did was to email them, sayin that somehow my moisturiser did not smell e same or as nice as e tester i tried in e shop.. n i asked if it’s expired.

n 2 wks later they replied sayin tt they’ll send a new one to my place. by then my moisturiser is like half-used since i slather damn alot on my skin every nite! i told them i cldnt return e tube but somehow… i still received this new one!

yippee! it’s all nicely wrapped! i shall treat it as a lil’ xmas pressie for myself n open it after xmas! haha!

sigh.. i wanted it to taste more like e one i had at scarlet hotel. tt was my one n only time orderin pork (apparently i’ve been livin e life of a half-vegetarian till recently hahaha! ).. thot it was some honey glazed pork tenderloin or sthg.. maybe tmr i’ll try addin apple juice in e glaze. that’s wat some recipes use. YAY! wat a good excuse for me to buy apple juice! it’s damn ex here leh…

and then instead of spendin time studyin, i’ve been up to weird things again. like doin french manicure myself. this is my first time doin DIY french mani as well, n it turned out really pretty - if u dun wear specs n look frm far. haha!

so that’s Aurelia and Victoria. haha!!

u can see tt i’m not studyin when i really shld be. kk xing xing i go study lar.. one more post!

so today i went to e supermkt n got crabsticks n mayonaise.. and tada! i have my very first homemade crabstick salad - japanese style!

yippee!! it was really easy n straightfwd. e most tedious part of e process was to cut e crabstick into e tiny pieces.. cos i suppose e mayonaise wld coat each pieces better..? aiyah anyway that’s how wasabi does it lar hahaha. i din add too much mayonaise tho im a fan of it, cos i wanted to stay wif e japanese style, which is a lighter taste.

The ingredients:
- 8 crabsticks: 50p
- less than 3 tblspn of mayonaise: 10p

Total cost: 60p!! YIPPEE!!

i hope u understand tt ur gf did not stop u frm gg salsa. it was u who started throwin surprise visits to union sq n left her stranded in front of her pc waitin for u. e original arrangement was to chat online; it was not jus any random nite. so she stopped u frm springin surprise visits to union sq.

ur gf did not stop u frm gg salsa. it was u who started gg once, n twice, n to social nites, n to classes to teach or sit in.. till u din even have e time nor energy to reply ur poor gf’s emails. u din even have e time to keep in contact wif her more than once a wk, when salsa equals 4-5 nites a wk. so she requested u to restrict e no. of nites u’re out.

ur gf did not stop u frm gg salsa. it was u who, bein so discontented wif e no. of time u’ve been out, secretly went to union sq n attempted to keep it frm her, hopin she doesnt find out. there was nothin wrong wif gg union. but there’s everythin wrong abt tryin to do sthg u think she doesnt like n tryin to keep it frm her. it was u who breached e trust bw e 2 of u, which led to e issuance of e ultimatum.

if u wanna behave like u dun have a gf n wanna be out 5 times a wk, i suggest u let gf enjoy all e attn she gets frm being single. if u wanna be wif gf yet noe no moderation, i suggest u let gf do e thinkin for u.

so it’s been decided. no more salsa for u.

pls dun blame ur gf. it was u. 壞人!!!
