Buongiorno Roma!!

Ciao (hello) ppl.. i just got back from italia last monday. everything was too much. i've never had so much pizza, pasta and gelato in my life. i've never seen so many statues. i've never been to a church and i've visited a life's worth of churches in this trip. so here are the highlights.

1. our flight to rome was early and the last bus to stansted was bout 11pm. waiting at the airport wasnt as fun as i thought it would be. i tried to sleep but the monkeys are always up to mischief (marcus tried to tie both of my shoe laces together. bro, what if i fall face flat on the ground?!!!) so i got to be alert.


2. first few hours in rome, Karen's radar started picking up dog poos here and there, north south east west, behing and inside the rocks *knock knock* inside the rocks?!! yea, it's weird but thats what she said. haha.

3. got to the hostel but it was still close. damn it. waited an hour or two before we checked in. but companions were good so nothing to complain bout the waiting. this is my first time staying in a hostel/backpackers. let me tell u(complain) bout my stay here. the shower bath was bad; sometimes cold sometimes hot. if u're a light sleeper, then this is definitely not a place for u to stay cos there'll be snore orchestra playing every night. i'm not complaining bout this as i'm a member of the orchestra *wink*. oh, marcus's alarm woke everyone up. he didnt know cos he had his ipod pluged into his ear. i didnt care cos i was too tired. Karen thought it was my alarm so she kicked my bed many many many times till i nearly fell off the bed. i'm pissed. *i'm innocent #1* learned to play foosball during the stay. lost to ivano (owner of the hostel) 3 nights in the row but marcus lost to me 3 nights in a row. haha



4. oh ya, i was named Sonny by one of the waiters in La Tavernetta. to coringT who calls me senior and derrick, hilda n others who call me george, if u guys dont wanna call me by my name, u can call me sonny. it sounds better than george *yuck*.


5. this time, i get to board the tube first cos they're feeling guilty for leaving me behind when we were in london. haha. marcus with his bad sense of direction strikes again. he led us to wrong tubes 3 times. when are u gonna admit that??


6. we visited trevi fountain 4 times cos karen said we need to see the fountain in the day, at night and anytime of the day. hehe..


7. we dined in LC Rest where tom cruise dined before


8. we met up with cai mei n shafiq on the last in rome. it was a good thing as i was getting bored seeing the same person 24/7. hahahaha.. i'm kidding.


9. u can find fake LV, gucci, prada etc n pirated vcds n dvds on the street, too. n they drive like malaysians, too.. way to go!!


i think that's bout it..
