Why I love Milan in the summer

Mama went to Gucci and Prada and bought myself a little happy. :)
Yesterday marked the start of Summer Sales and it was absolute madness in the shopping district. Its fucking hot here but I love it for the sales!

Musings on a friday afternoon.

I'm back in Milan!
In the past nine days I went to Dublin, London, York and Manchester.
Photos up on my facebook soon.
Over the past few days while on long train/bus/plane rides, I had a lot of time to contemplate everything that has happened and everyone I met on exchange. It makes me wonder; If you had a chance to change history, would you do it?

Who goes to your school?

My Cheap Thrill Factor

Now that I shall be leaving Bocconi University and Milan soon, I regret not running into these two people in my school!

Prince Pierre Casiraghi,
Son of Princess Caroline of Monaco

3rd in line to the throne of Monaco
Currently studying Economics in Bocconi University
Lives in the Brera area of Milan
There are many rich and good looking people in the world, but one of royal blood? hubba hubba.

Caroline Celico,
Wife of Footballer Kaka

Studying economics in Bocconi University
She is wayyy pretty!

Bocconi is the best university in Italy and top 5 in Europe where all rich Italian parents send their kids to study. All the guys are decked out in D&G and the girls wear chanel glasses, prada and LV bags.
We as poor Asians can only admire the beautiful people walking by. LOL!

I could burn that bridge.

Everyday we are faced with choices.
Sometimes we make them without conscious effort.
Then there are those that are fucking hard to make up your mind.
Neither is easy to live with and comes with an aspect of regret,
Yet you have to choose.
What would Jesus NOT do?

You make me loving love you baby, like a little L.

Its 1.30pm now in Milan.
I'm sitting at my desk in my room, overlooking my tragic plants that are dying on my balcony due to neglect. :( I don't think my landlady is going to be happy about it! oops. I'll go water them later.
I'm almost done with my cup of home-brewed black coffee.

Anyways, I was reading one of the websites I read everyday, and it talked about Jamiroquai. Remember him?? This British rock/acid/pop singer was rather big in the early '00s. One of his most memorable songs is "Little L". Watch the video below and follow me down memory road!

Shakespeare and Co

Tucked away in a corner of Paris there is Shakespeare and Company Bookstore. This rather small shop is stacked from floor to ceiling with all English books, new and second hand, though it is located in a french-speaking country.

It boasts a upper reading room for customers to sit and enjoy a good book, I find it extremely refreshing as the books in this room are strictly not for sale, only serves a purpose of education, not solely profits.

I spend an hour in this store finding gems amongst the shelves, I walked away with 2 books - one by Margaret Atwood and the other by Sebastian Faulks - only because I had luggage limitations.

This is the place for bookworms to indulge their addiction.

Shakespeare and Co is located at 37, Rue de la Bucherie, Paris.

Notre Dame de Paris, France

I've been to a few places in Europe and Paris is one of the best ones.

This is outside the Notre Dame de Paris, the number 1 attraction in Paris for 2008.

The detailed carving of the exteriors walls is exquisite and only surpassed by the vast stained glass windows inside the church and its endlessly long pillars.

Walking around the bowels of the church makes me contemplate the amount of effort, devotion to God and the sheer difficulty of erecting such a massive cathedral some 800 years ago.

This passion of seeking something greater than one's self is what I can only yearn to have.

a lust and must

Just because I'm bored out of my mind studying for my entrepreneurship exam... I decided to blog a lot more today!

I foresee a huge capital outflow when I get back home to Singapore.

Mama wants a...

Nintendo Wii

with Rock Band (of course)

Blackberry Curve 8900

and I must convinced Debs to get a blackberry too so that we can blackberry chat!! :)
