14th March 2007

didn't go to sch. woke up too late... ended up in chinatown at Paolo Sarpi with yian while Gan&MH went to get groceries at COOP. found only 3 provision shops there. got ourselves red beans(!!), condensed milk and glutinuous flour... yeah. also some other foodstuff... chinatown... full of clothing shops... why.

15th March 2007

went to school finally to sit in for lessons so that we could choose our modules. yr2 studio that day was a specialised ergonomics class and they were going to design backpacks, sleeping bags or tents for a company called CAMP. also went for a eco-sustainability class called ambiente e cultura (...??) misleading.

(their studio or lab lesson. this room is quite big. got some other smaller LTs or CTs also...)

(ciclo di vita! life cycle! beardy guy is the lecturer. )

///in the night, we went to neighbour's house for PAARRTY!!!!!!!! (secret thought: they can really drink!) the food was great. we contributed chicken rice. camila, hoolien, paulina, lucas, carmeletta, hetter, aisah, marta! so many people! was given a geography lesson on what are the countries surrounding poland. haha...

16th March 2007

SLACK AT HOME. gan went ipercoop area alone to shop cuz cannot stay at home! MH, Yian and I went jogging and to search for legendary AMICO (friend) supermarket. nice jog! redeemed a little of those sinful food we keep eating...

17th March 2007

weeeekeendd! went to duomo area. ufficio postale was closed. yian couldn't post stuff. the duomo piazza was rowdy and roaring with cheers.

they were broadcasting ruby match. italy vs ireland. world cup? atmosphere: spirited.

as we walked across the piazza to look for the tourist office (so that we can get some milan maps), lotsa pigeons kept flying overhead us. prob cuz this girl was feeding them. some flew low. quite scary....
after maps, we checked out Luini at S.Radegonda 16. supposed to have great panzerotti or mini deep fried calzone. i like it. it's good! lotsa of people queuing for the food there. it has a 150year old history selling the stuff.

good!

then went zara and H&M. the shops are so far apart that after only a while, conquering only the two shops, we were tired liao...

headed home sweet home.



18th March 2007

MH and Yian went church. Gan saw free admission for castello sforzello museum. we were therefore split into 2 grps. the castle overwhelms. arggh. but museum turned out not free....


and so... we decided to check out the beautiful garden park behind the castle: the fun fair(will be blogged soon...........) from 2 weeks ago was still there... went beyond park to after the Arco della Pace in search of recommended apertivo bar Blangra(?????)bar (honest. that's the name) found a....erm.......... woman lying next to the shop window? dare not go any closer... and immediately assume shop is closed in my head...


(Nice structure. decorated with umm... not so nice grafitti...)


after that, we took tram back to train station and passed by "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (must look at next entry for the answer!) gan and i were very excited! ha! now i know how to make gan happy! maybe i'll compile a book called 'living with gan'. ha!


on the way home. met Yian and MH at the home train station. turned out we were on the same train and they were also visiting museums. and theirs is free!!!!!!!! i want to go! ... ok. next time.
