Venezia

In venice!!

mama and ayah in the train

And Im back! From a horrid 8 hour train ride to and from venice, which makes a total of 16 hours of boredomness in locomotion. Haha. We took the cisalpino line from Ginevra to Venezia. The ride to venice was in the morning, so we got the chance to look at some beautiful scenery, trees, ladang2 orang.. Upon arrival at Venice's ferrovia (railway station) we got a cheap hotel from the information counter. 25 euro per head/per night. Which is as cheap as it gets. It was near the Gugile boat stop, but was along the water banks connected to the ferrovia. The rooms are cozy and the toilets are not attached, but located just across the hallway. Ramai2 kongsi toilet, but it was very clean.

melantak time lapar, indah..

Replenished with mama's lasagna and other tid bits, we went sightseeing venice by night. First round, look at all desirable items. Round 2 followed shortly the next morning.

ashwan and me

The weather in venice was chilly due to the wind and drizzling rain. They did not have snow, instead had the Aqua Alta or High Water during winter. Which is..yucky by me. Dad said it was all nice and clean during the summer, but i cannot imagine myself living in that town.

at the boat stop

We spent the rest of the evening taking boat rides travelling the whole perimeter of venice..which was, 100% water. Unadaptable environments. Slept like a log. And woke up hungry as ever.

Breakfast at a "Corner Bar" - thats what the hotel personel said to us when we asked for the name of the cafe.

So the next morning, we had complementary brekkie at a corner lot cafe. The croissants were all sugary as the italians love their sugar.

Toothaches deligts dolce dolge ape tah

It was still raining and my brother was coming down with something. We walked around Rialto (tempat jual barang murah2) and stopped by the tapestry shop. Mama has finished surveying the whole mass of islands for the cheapest tapestry and lace shop.

at the tapestry shop

We would've gone to Murano for the glasses or Burano for the lace, but the weather was not forgiving so there was no boats coming into Gugile to take us there.

Murano Glass pieces

Mama finished off her collection of tapestry cushion covers and runners and table cloths. And dad got himself and the boys (including gc haha) some new ties. And me? I strolled around Furla, and Max & Co. (Just a note, in case anyone reading is going to venice any time soon, the cheap tapestry shop is nearby Furla).

Then mama bought the Murano glass vase in blue (just one).

Got myself a chuppa chup treat, and had a quick bite at a local restaurant.

The waiter was handsome. Looked a little like orlando bloom. Orang sane sume bg tip 5 euro bagai. We just left the black book thingy.

Pizza Funghi - sungguh tak berperasaan la derang wat piza

And that was how i spent my last two days. Skrang ni da saket perot sbb tahan g toilet. haha..And to think I'd include that in my blog =O *gasps* Today, we are all going to eat a lot of rice because tomorrow is going to be another beginning to a wayy longer journey.

ciao bella *muah *

To the dentist

Its another cloudy day this morning. The sun came out of its resting haven of clouds yesterday at about 11am and I rushed downstairs to capture the autumn leaves a falling. It's still autumn here. The leaves have turned a fire like crimson so slowly, yet just in time for me to see them for the last time.

I had a dentist appointment at 230, at Servette. I hate going to the dentist, the doctor, the dean? Anyone with the right to cross examine you would do the same trick. They don't have to ask so many things and yet got more in return. Its been 2 years since I last visited my dentist, okay. Thats why I was a wreck. So as expected, the dentist will talk about my inflammatory gums, and this time prescribed me with another set of tepe sticks to help strengthen the gums. Yucks. Then she removed a pre-existing filling and decided to make her own one. Haha..abes la.

Oh and I forgot to mention that I helped mum make sushi for snacks. Tada~

On the way home, the three of us stopped by Dosenbach (shoe store), and ashwan got his puma which was on a reduction after reduction totale sort of price. And I got myself a pair of cutesy B toed heels. Innocent.

To end the day on a high note, which is really not what I was looking foward to, due to the numb feeling in my left mouth, which included my left lip, I was not in the mood for a round of bowling with the 'ladies'. Argh. Dad won the men's league and mom placed 4th, ashwan got a whole bunch of strikes towards the end and I inhaled too much cigar smoke.

Pictures updated.

ashwan, khaireenur (enino) and mum

Heyya..didn't exactly give you guys time to miss me did you? Was thinking of postponing the blogging habit, but after browsing through dads itenary for cuti-cuti ujung tahun 2006, didn't think I had enough time to give all my friends enough time to pick their wanted items. So soon I will be putting up adverts in another fotopages for your ease of browsing!

The flight was terrible, didn't eat any rice or any solid foods during the whole of saturday, execpt nasi lemak for breakfast. Hectic Saturday, tell you that. Morning off to the wet market in setiawangsa, then its jln tar for mama's last minute tudung order, and then the most compulsary visit to makteh's who just retired from her day job with risda. Owh yea, so for the first 2-3 hours of the flight, I was vomiting lunch and tea and didn't touch anything they served. Thus the reason for no pictures of my luvly 12++ hour trip.

Theres a new law enforced on all flights going into europe and the US due to the latest liquid bomb incident. Didn't find it amusing at all or I would've taken a picture of the little plastic zip-locks they allowed each passenger to take on board. Only 100ml of each liquid is allowed (this means your deodorant, lippie, lotions, minyak angin..etc)

The weather here is cloudy and the sun comes out only after 1 in the afternoon. Waktu solat pon belum afal lg..sheesh. Its 11 degrees celcius and the leaves are falling off the trees. Lots to tell.
