and sea!

but the stitching is not very good..

a slice of sky

cinque terre

incredible place, great company. awesome :)

doing real work (sort of)

because it's the easy (brainless) assignment i start with... of course. home-made lightbox courtesy of my roommate's ikea glasses.

and what i learnt in class today:

• command+click on the channels in photoshop selects all the light areas in the image for you.
• shift+backspace to change layer colour
• alt+backspace to change selection to layer foreground colour
• control+backspace to change selection to layer background colour

eating at home

but because i have not the substance i photoshop and crop.

i've done my assignment!

too bad it's not one of the ones from school!
and i drew myself thin coz i know i'm getting.. round, what with the pizza and gelato everyday..

cln, your turn! :]

went to como for a daytrip

just an hour (and 3.6euro) by train away from milan. and a whole other world.

lunch hour at polimi

like a huge picnic everyday.. every sunny day anyway, except the picnic food is bread, pizza and more bread...

gelato again :]

taken with my hp because i didn't realise we were eating gelato today.

goodbye to these

finally got my transport pass! now i can metro, bus and tram anywhere...

today in school

... well it helped that one of the tutors gestured a lot.. with intense watching i understood like maybe.. 5 of his sentences in that 3hr briefing.

gelato!

finally found the much-recommended (by the seniors) gelateria.
it's GOOD~
a grande cone with 3 uber-rich flavours (dark chocolate, hazelnut, tiramisu) might have been a bit ambitious though. next time i'll mix my flavours carefully :)

in the greyness of constant rain i saw

food.. again :]

lunch:
















dessert:














yeah there was a pic of me eating the cone but i looked too much of a glutton (with the ugly hat on too) so..

and dinner!
(ok so it's a bit of a let down after those 2. but home cooked!)















potatoes topped with cheese.. my bro and i used to make them long long ago... when our first toaster oven was still working i think.

tetrapak wine!

cup for scale.. it costs about as much as normal packed juice? in singapore..

benvenuti in italia

went for the welcome day (and dinner too!) today and they showed this video. it's so funny.. because it's so true.. met a lot of foreign students today and everybody was like 'ah yes! this is italy!' :]

we experienced it first-hand when going for dinner...












time on invitation: 18 30
time we arrived: 19 00
time they told us they would open: 20 00
time we returned: 20 15
time we got in: 20 40

and there you have lesson#2 of living in italy - dinner starts at 9pm. but it was free food! and a good networking opportunity...

i went to paris.. and met up with friends!

and they came all the way to the train station to meet me. thanks! :} haha to the pple who get to read this anyway...

i think there's a bit of everyone in this photo :] sitting at the cafe and pple watching like parisiens! and taking photos like singaporeans...







and.. liftoff!! the guys had an obsession with jumpshots...


yup. an actual photo with me in it too on this blog.. how rare is that?
















@ the pantheon.. nice poses no? :]

















@ notre dame.. SMILE!

and at the louvre.. oops about the last 'triangle' it's a bit distorted...

and our dinner on the boat along the seine...
garçon! please serve the wine...

and that's it for now :)

first day of school

i know, i know, i'll go tomorrow.... and this is an old drawing.. a more accurate one would have a book peeking out of the covers :]

i went to paris...

and i'm sorry it's such a cliched shot. but well..
more after i've gotten even more sleep!...
