To Torino: DAY 1
the day started out REEALLY early at 530am in the morning as we prepared for our trip. all of us except gan didn't have a sleeping bag. so... we decided to bring our blankets over. sweet. check out the step-by-step demonstration below on how to pack blankets:
it was really hilarious watching the two of them wrestling with their blankets before finally strapping them to their already chunky bags. 
even though we were going away, our food, as usual, is good and sumptuous ;)
finally we're on our way to the train station. look at the sizes of our bags! Gan had a little problem getting out of our tiny door haha.
and so we went to the centrale station, i was awed by the size and grandeur of the place. i really felt tiny in there. it was fairly bustling there and we bought from the electronic ticket machine.
a group photo before departure.on the train:
haiyo. turned up all the people at the platform were waiting for the same train. when the signal board showed the train platform, everyone rushed onto the train. REALLY EVERYONE. suddenly that binario was empty. gan and i waited for mh and yian to come back from their scouting session. by the time they came back, we had no seats liao. ha. but lucky we got our big bags! so we just sat on it. the morning sun shot bright warm rays through the windows giving strong highlights on our faces and casted long shadows on the ground. there was chatting but we spent most of the time making ways for the people who wanted to get on or off the train! haha... we were in their way :( 
finally finally, we arrived at Torino Porta Nuova! sixiu and cindy were late in picking us up because of a miscommunication and we ended up loitering around unfamilar torino station. we were greated by bald scary trees and network of cables closing down on the place. gan and i also couldn't help but notice how FAT the pigeons here were as compared to singapore. round and puffed up. cute.
after we put down our bags, we went to the ciocolato fair at piazza vittoria, the largest piazza in europe=) we sampled free chocolate and some of us even had chocolate icecream! ha! jealous right! i especially like the chocolate with orange ice-cream that cindy got. yumyum~ i got separated from the rest of the group in the queue as i enter the free chocolate sample tent with the earlier batch. shot a photo of them outside still queueing.haha.
next we went down to the 'no matter how you take also beautiful' river next to the piazza. haha. crazy shooting session. and really stunning view.
then we went to the ski shop to rent the ski or sci (shh-i). sixiu and cindy decided we should take a long route to view the town and so we did. 
aiyo. really har... bring 6 girls out, 6 different cameras in the same place. you do the multiplication yourself la hur. when we compiled our pictures, its like 'millions' of photos of the same thing over and over again. quite funny la hur. yeah. this is our 'favourite tree'. got all the different angles. with lamp post or with building or with people. can choose from the collection liao. give you guys a sample here. look at us shooting away. haha. i shot a lot too... the italians must be thinking where these girls come from. nv see flower tree before issit? haha...
in the same park, there's also this tree that we all agree need some hair conditioner. 
dunno take how long there la... try and try. the people there are friendly tho. we had to carry everything and walk a few streets to the bus stop to take bus back sixiu&cindy's place. walk to bus stop already damn tired... yeah. tired faces.but we didn't stay at home for the night la. went out to have aperitivo.
on the tram ride to the place, the milan gang demonstrated our train ride formation. haha... i will grab the train poles on top and everyone grab the next person beside. tsk. these ang mohs.. nv take into consideration their asian counterparts one leh....
yeah. and this is aperitivo in torino. the drinks are super colourful. taste good too. then the food here also more healthy than the one we went. cheers!
