Milano here we come!

#26. 16 March ’09

We went to the city again cause he had to go for his classes. After this picture, the rest are pretty much just pictures of me and him cause we didn’t go anywhere new so nothing much to add! Not because I saja want to camwhore ok…………..ok…..ok…….

Went to a thrift store and we were really happy cause we both found pretty good deals!

Hmm I think that’s all for today cause then I went home cause he had to go to his class and I had to cook like a good housewife wtf.

I got this bag from the thirft store for 5 euros! I really like it cause it’s round and not just plain square.

And the skirt for 10 euros! It has very pretty pleats but it’s not obvious here and I realllllllly like it. Barry got two ties for 1 euro each!!!


This is the next day but I don’t want such an ugly picture to be for my project 365 so I’m not going to label this. I woke up way early so I can do my makeup and hair slowly! This is without anything on and with one ugly single eyelid eye while the other has 3 eyelids wtf

With my favorite bare minerals powder and blush on. Can’t really see much from this picture I think but the coverage is pretty good

With eye makeup! I put on some fake individual lashes which is absolutely the worst thing in the world cause it’s soooo hard to put on and it’s so fragile you can destroy it easily. Not only that, it’s not obvious at all and you look the same without it. Don’t ever get it unless you are really good at using your tweezers.

Hair done! At this point I realized that I actually used 1.5 hours to do hair and makeup Ö !!!! So we have to take the later train thanks to me T_T

Chocolate croissant!!!!!!!!!! mmmm

With my new bag and skirt!

Outside the main gate. I thought I should be used to cold weather by now but I guess not :( I almost froze to death yesterday wuwu

Barry! I love his outfit yesterday!

Guess what we had for lunch again?!?! hahahha god i love those bratwursts! cheap and super yummy Ü

A boy chasing the pigeons away!

Playing with the longkang wtf

University students lepaking at the fountain with the guy who supposedly invented gun powder (i thought a chinese guy did it? hmm)

#27. 17 March ’09

Ah I loveee their tiny quaint alleys!

Barry and erm dunno what sign of someone who supposedly lived there. I can’t read it now but I think it was someone very famous.

Saw a hugeee mirror so..

Got milk? We hung out at a chocolatier/cafe while waiting for his next class to start

After his class, we went and GOT OUR TICKETS!!! TO!!!

MILAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! Ü Ü Ü Ü Ü

We wanted to go to Rome or Paris at first, but they were way out of our budget, and besides, we only have a day, and everyone knows that’s not enough to see Paris or Rome. Rome wasn’t built in a day, how to see the whole of Rome in a day wtf.

So, Milan it is! Which is a good option, I guess. Get to see the Last Supper painting! And Michelangelo’s unfinished last sculpture! And the third largest cathedral in the world! And can eat Milanese Risotto!

No more pictures cause was too happy to take more after that haha.

It’s Wednesday now and I’m going to stay home and cook all day. I’m going to make pork noodle soup (chu yuk fan) just like the hawker’s!!! and at night I’ll make something simple like nasi goreng pattaya. Wish me luck!

    sweatlee says:

    hey michelle i’m not rich ok please don’t say that. that’s why i didn’t want to talk about europe at first cause people are going to say i’m rich when i’m not. i got my ticket for $399 and i worked hard for that amount of money. it’s just a matter of knowing what you want to spend on. in return, i didn’t go out to eat/shop for 3 months.
    so yeah nothing to be envious of.

    Suet, I just went to Milan a month ago. If you want to look at “the last supper” painting, you would at least have to book 2 weeks in advance. Otherwise you would not be able to get any ticket at the door unless you’re very lucky.

    Good luck and have lotsa fun!

    suet, go Pisa, I think the ticket should be quite cheap as well. If not, Venice will be a good choice. Be careful in Milan okay? There are many pick pockets. :P

    eh what are u talking about! that eyelash thing makes a lot of difference ok! it makes you look much sexier! and your hairrrrr grr i wish i can do such nice curls but because hair too long n too much it’s so difficult to do and they go straight in a matter of minutes cos too heavy d… haih. anyway, great buys! who says you don’t have style!

    yosie says:

    good deals! i didn’t shop at thrift stores in germany but went to pimkie when they had a sale and got two super awesome “stylish” jackets (and by stylish i mean the zippers are not straight down the middle) for 10 euros each. europe is def not as cheap as it used to be though.

    damn jealous of your bratwurst.. i brought some kurrywurst sauce over and still haven’t used it :( not the same.. i dunno if they have kurrywurst in freiburg (i think it’s a berliner thing?) but it’s so good

    lilxcute says:

    wow $399 is super cheap. Which airport did you travel from? A trip to New York would already cost 300 pounds. How much are the bratwursts? They look tempting. The ones here in London that comes in bottles are kinda salty which I don’t like. How much are you paying for the trip to Milan?

    AIYAA! Milan!! Darn it, only an hour away from my house! If I were in Italy, I would SO go kaypoh and meet you haha. Eh, if you eat Italian, try and get pizza with Mozzarella Bufala (buffalo milk mozzarella). I know it may not sound appetizing, but believe me, IT IS GOOD.

    And oh, try the prosciutto for starters, and risotto (I LOVEEEE). And if you are into mushroom, order anything with porcini. yumss.

    Thou shalt not forget the gelato either!

    Why don’t you pay a visit to London if you do drop by Paris? It’s going to be just 2 hours away taking the euro train. You need to book early though to get cheap tickets. Early means like early bird kills two stone. and when you do, do drop to Plymouth (where I live, ok?) don’t worry..live at my place and I cook dinner for you. :)

    Just found your blog because I was researching what single eyelids are. Through your comment to one photo I can understand. I am surprised to see that asian girls want to change that. We western boys think it is one of the most beautiful things about asian girls.
    But your and my taste seem to differ anyway. I think you are much more beautiful without any makeup.
    But I can understand you. Like everybody else I also think that changing myself would make me better looking.
    Thanks for the explanation.

    (btw the photo I’m talking about is this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3429/3364389234_1f82c950bb.jpg)

    of course like your web site however you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth then again I will certainly come again again.
