Milano Milano
State of Being : Tired Out
We survived the long tiring hours on the inter country train ride! Finally it is bright and sunny here in Milan. Last week in London and Paris was chilly, unlike summer at all. Spent yesterday at Mount Titlis in Switzerland where it was freezing cold. Brrr.... Hopefully I will not fall sick from the drastic change in temperature.
Will post again when there is free internet access at our next accommodation *I hope*
Amazing Race 2!
I'm now at the new Terminal 3 waiting for departure to London. Gosh, it's gonna be a long flight to Manchester for the connecting flight. Kinda stressful as it's gonna be my first time backpacking Europe with a huge haversack! I'm looking forward to Greece though with the beautiful white-washed buildings amid the blue ocean. Definitely gonna be a real postcard moment!!!
See you all again in July! Ciao!

State of Being : Early review this month "I kissed a girl, and I liked it. The taste of her cherry chapstick. I kissed a girl, Just to try it.
I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry
Album: One Of The Boys; Genre: Pop
You probably know that a single is gonna be a smash hit simply by looking at its song title. But ain't "I Kissed A Girl" a pretty common song title? Yes, there's nothing extraordinary with this title, if it's sung by Ne-Yo or Usher but in this case, this song is actually sung by a girl!!
Taken from American singer-songwriter Katy Perry's album "One Of The Boys", this second single has gained a significant amount of controversy since it became public as the lyrics tell of Katy's experience of kissing another girl.
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it."
To-date, "I Kiss A Girl" has peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, proving once again that controversy do sell afterall. Remember the Russian singing duo t.A.T.u who first appeared on the music scene as a lesbian couple? Their debut English album gave us the monstrous hit single "All The Things She Said". But as soon as the fans found out that they were just faking it as part of the group's image, their follow-up album failed to chart.
But given where credit should be due, this single does have a catchy chorus. And coupled with the burlesque-type setting of the music video and its risque lyrics, it is no wonder that the single has gained significant popularity since its release.
#10-314 Open House
Thank god it's over.
Last Saturday's house warming party had our house swarmming with people!
My brother's friends were invited over for a buffet lunch while the evening buffet was reserved solely for relatives. All in all, there were over 60+ visitors - adults & children that day. My sis-in-law and my parents temp as tour guides as they led the visitors a tour of #10-314 and a few of the lil ones *horror* were even running about, playing hide & seek. Felt so "trapped" with so many curious stares as groups of people stream into my room continously. Every corners I turned was met with people and more people.
Luckily I had a wedding dinner that night and managed to escape from the evening crowd. And by the time I returned, everything was spick and span once more!!!
