random stuff...

well, im here, in front of my com the whole day... school hasnt started, next wk... the damn italian admin la, anyhow bom some random date which sch suppose to start then make us come so early... ok la, we went to rome n got the admin sorted... but still! alot of moeny spent leh! we've been here say 3wks? n no sch... u must be like, 'what the hell is jane doing at home when she's in milan!?!?!??!' i tell u, im at home cos its the cheapest... its depressing i know but we havent found out much to go to.. 'orchard rd' went liao... window shop n be depressed also did liao...

jx n i was counting how much we spend so far... n where on earth did all th money go to! i tell u, its food.... ALL FOOD... not so much on outside food, but groceries... then we looked at the stuff we bought, then jx said, since when exchange students drink espresso, eat sun-dried tomato spread(extremely yummy), buy asiago cheese, eat hazelnut yogurt.... but ah, we check the price,all like $1plus... not so bad ma.... so we concluded, everything 1plus 1plus mounts to ALOT! hai... but we count n count n count, eat home anytime cheaper n alot more satisfying... i mean, i had chicken curry with fako mee pok!(egg pasta that looks like mee pok so we call it such to make ourselves happy). plus we only buy the cheapest n mainly 'ipercoop' brand so.... oh well...

OH!!!! we found PRAWNS!!! thats rather affordable....ok, prob still a lil more than what exchange student shld eat but its frozen n way cheaper than what we've see so far. (i ahvent had fish since i got here, not even fish fingers,seafood is FREAKIN EX). n this prawns have SHELLS....!!!! but no head... so we fried the shells the other day to make some stock for our beehoon! n this is real prawns man, some how it was really tasty... n not much more expensive compared to the mini shrimps (n alot more in qty) which shrink to pi-sai size(okok, hae-bee (dried shrimp) size) after u cook.



ok this was taken in the ferrari store... think i mentioned it some time back... did i? i cant rem... anywya, ill tell u abt it now...here ferrari store is 5 storeys. it AMAZING... tey have appareals n stuff, for kids men, ladies... n they get brands like puma, tods - oh goodness, the shoes n bags r so so so beautiful, i stood for quite some time....its the bright red i tell u, the ferrari red that when put together with tods.... excellent stuff i say! but of cos the price also one kind la,the kind u sigh n walk away........ they even ahve bathrobes, candles where u can see ur euros being burnt away bit by bit... stationary, books on ferrari... everything...

in rome having our bloody expensive coffee... cos we wanted a place to sit n chill.. so we made sure we sat long enough... not that i had alot of espresso to keep me company n no way i was gonna get another one for that price... oh goodness, just realised the waiter posed for the pic too! im jsut gonna assume he thot we were 'how touristy' to take pics with coffee n so he's laughing...
