Life is not measured by the amount of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.

I'm sure everybody has heard of this before... It's so common! But it's still very meaningful nonetheless... Actually I had every intention of blogging straight after my Italy trip (so the feeling wun be lost, mah!)... Ya so that I can say some stuff about Italy... (Hint: Pple who go overseas a lot have MANY stories to tell... Haha...) BUT!!! The mood must be there...If not, then it will be quite sian becos usually the story will be very long... Haha... I also wanted to put some really cool pictures, but I'm to lazy to do so... Heehee... Ya anyway I couldn't blog becos: my mum was at home/ my sister was at home/ both my sister and mum were at home/ I wasn't at home.

Ok, I just want to say some stuff about Italy...

First, foremost and most importantly... People in Italy smoke a lot!! As in cigarettes... They really smoke a lot... Based on my observations there, I can estimate that out of 100 Italians, 80 of them are smoking, and out of the remaining 20 pple, 19 are smokers (just that they are not smoking at that time) and the last one is a non-smoker... Soooo.... I dun know wad to say to that... Their air is damn polluted from all the cigarette smoke and non-smokers like me have to breath in all their smoke...

Note: Becos the air is so cold (4 deg - 16 deg Celsius), you will have a runny nose. So when you have a runny nose, what's the instinctive thing that you will do? Sniff. Sniff hard, in fact, becos those mucus will never stop flowing! (Yuck!!) And as you sniff, you inhale the smoke that has just been expelled by the smoker walking past you. So in the end, non-smokers (like me) will get runny noses AND cough all day long... Bloody smokers...

Anyway, another thing that I noticed is that every now and then, the sound of the ambulance siren can be heard... (like every 2-3 hours?) It's almost as if every now and then someone collapses on the street... (maybe from chronic bronchitis? or emphysema? i wouldn't be surprised... haha)

Ok, so maybe Italy doesn't sound that attractive, but it is the art there that attracts so many pple... I'm not the arty-farty sort of person so I wun go blabbing about their art... But I have to stop here becos I have all these stuff (stuff to write about) in my head and if I dun stop I could go on forever!
