it has been realli a long time, since i wrote my blog n so much has happened in my life ... anyway my one mth travelling ard in Europe nvr gave me the opportunity to use the internet ... n it too ex to use it in the hostel ... so it has to wait until I return to Singapore ... n it has been 3 days since I returned to Singapore ... the beginning of June seemed like a bit far away, sometime I just helped tinking how time realli flies, throughout my stay in Sweden I was preparing for the Stockholm Marathon ... somehow I wanted to take part in a marathon and in fact I have trained in Singapore a couple of month before I left, I wanted to take part in the December Marathon in Singapore for some reasons of mine ... but in the end I decided on the Stockholm Marathon, somehow I thought if I run the marathon it could help erase tings out of my mind, forget abt tings n perhaps move on ... anyway it seemed crazy to train n run with recurrent knee injury ... it hurts during cold day n so I was careful when I'm training the longest I train was 30 km, a far cry from the 42 km I need to ran on the day ... my shoe only arrived one day before ... but Asics is the best running shoe IN THE WORLD ... u don need to condition it ... becuz it's the BEZ ... so din get a blister ... n I completed the run without walking ... quite glad ... but my knee was swollen after ... couldn't walk ... n i was limping n walking with a speed slower than the old man ... but with the medal in hand ... even if I limped ... I limped with pride haha ... anyway after the marathon ... was with kwun ho and his frenzs from UK ... they were touring Scandinavia ... a fun gp of pple n I liked their company but it was too short oni for a day den they are off to Norway I supposed. .. I spent a day in Stockholm myself ... went to the archipelago ... spent a lot of $$$$ but den was nvr guilty abt it ... I was nvr guilty abt spending $$$ ... tt y i overspent n spent too much ... where got people go exchange spends more than 12K ... anyway after Stockholm went over to ROme... a hot sunny city ... with a charming landscape ... there is tis magic abt the city ... n I was delighted when I reached there ... but my frenzs were quite disappointed ... they say it was rather run down ... but I loved the city n I was happy there ... but I was always happy so it doesn't mean a ting rite ... nxt stop Florence ... a disappointing city ... I suggested the place but nvr meant it becuz I was always so hopelessly bz so Jayce planned until ROme n no one planned the rest of Italy ... but we got to see the leaning tower of PISA ... n is so impressive ... for once I was REAL impressed ... we took quite a couple of fotos there ... it was drizzling a bit n Rachel lost her fone ... she was rather sad I supposed ... den it was off to Venice ... a romantic place ... a special place ... n a place whereby everything that were old were beautiful ... there's a beauty in the many canals ... but the map was a mess ... n I was supposed to be the "TOUR GUIDE" for the day ... Holy shit!!! shouldn't as volunteer ... took us so long to reach our first attraction ... but anyway the gals have so much fun shopping for stuff along the way ... anyway Venice is perfect for me ... I shld consider it as a honeymoon vacation =) haha ... it's in my shortlist hehe ... n I got to meet Tony Adams and his lovely partner ... took a foto with him ... Venice was number 5 of all the 25 cities I have visited for the exchange not bad huh ***
returned to Singapore on a Sunday ... my family was there ... Yuan song n pals made a mistake regarding the flight details so it was oni my family ... but there were too much to talk so it was nicer tis way ... beta tis way ... there were a large crowd sending me off to Sweden i cld still remember ... but anyway met Dick on Monday for haircut appointment ... my hairstylist chatted with me ... anyway he has got nt much change ... n I went to Dick's home n realised tt his concept of messiness is still tidy in my opinion ... he wanted me to watch Spiderman with his gp of frenzs on Monday nite but my family wanted me for dinner... so has to give it a miss ... anyway there will b lotsa of outings n I hope to have time for all my frenzs ... actualli now I know wat I liked abt Singapore ... it's not the way of life ... it's too hectic n pple too stressed ... but I guessed it muz be my frenzs + family tt made all the difference ... they were so special in my opinion ... when I was citilink on Monday afternoon, it felt realli strange ... suddenly seeing so much Chinese n I was among them, it felt so strange tt I was like in a new place n I was a bit anxious for the first time, hoping to get use to it real soon ... gonna writing for now
