Italy 2012

Couldn’t sleep last night and wifi was down, so I went to look through the pictures in my comp! Chanced upon the pics I took in Italy last year during the choir trip, and memories started flowing back. And since I got nth to blog abt I might as well upload some of the pics. It was a trip with laughter and tears, but a different experience that u won’t get anywhere else! I am only gonna upload pics on scenery as those with faces can be found on my Facebook. Haha so here is goes…

My beloved tranny gang! Haha though our tranny is nt there! Spent majority of the trip with these girls! It was FUN FUN and more FUN!


Flew on emirates! Singapore to Dubai and Dubai to Milano (self-insert Italian accent, bravo!)!

  milano~

Touched down at Milano (self-insert Italian accent), after like 15 or 16 hours of flight, I couldn’t rmb how long already, I only couldn’t rmb I was both physically and mentally drained and suffering from horrible jet lag -.- so I was just snapping pics with my cam blindly like a tourist.

Famous sightseeing attractions in Milano (self-insert Italian accent), I was so shagged I couldn’t rmb wat was going on except again snapping my cam like a zombie.

Lol I like this pic was taken on some roads of Milano, loving my cam, haha giving some post card quality pics!


This is a bank? I forgot -.- but HEYYY spot the Ferrari!
 This is it! The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (I googled it), the world’s oldest shopping mall! It was really beautiful and                                       grand, but all branded stuffs, couldn’t afford it YET. Yup YET, I’ll be back!

Looked up and woahhhhh…

My camera is so zai i cant even...... really love this shot :)

Last attraction in Milano before taking the coach for another 3 to 4 hours to Riva Del Garda!  The Stunning Milan Cathedral (googled again), so majestic! But the place was flooded with tourists -.- couldn’t even take a proper photo.



Riva Del Garda~
Yeap, so for the next few days we stayed in Riva Del Garden for our competition, which is a small town in some mountains. So beautiful and so Italy that I am so gonna visit it again :)

Yes this is a hotel, not a museum hahaha. It’s quite mind blowing when u come out of the hotel u were staying at and holy there was a mountain behind. So freaking awesome! BRAVO!

Entrance to the hotel, it is real cozy inside! I can really stay there forever!

This is the church where the competition was held, a 10 min walk from our hotel. Love all the trips to and fro from the hotel to this church! So artistic! 

This grand fortress situated in the middle of nowhere near our hotel! A fortress! 

Apparently Riva Del Garda means many lakes? Hahah I couldn’t rmb but there’s quite many lakes there. Just look at that water and those cutie pie atas sampans and those mountains and those houses! BRAVO!

More atas sampans!

Loving this shot not only because of the cute doggie but just think they the couple is so sweet. Walking their dog on a rainy day with high fashion (self-insert Italian accent), there’s so much ‘feel’ in this pic! LOL

Spotted a mobile florist truck doing business in an open space, the flowers were so colourful and the greens are so fresh! So beautiful, I think it tells a lot on the daily lives of people there; just a relaxing and care free live in this small quiet town!

One of the alleys on the island, really enjoyed living in this small yet vibrant town, the people are friendly and polite, partially grateful that u have brought business into the town. The food is quite yummy and the buildings are all so unique in their ways, standing gracefully and firmly. Weather is just nice, not too cold but not too hot! Will definitely visit this lovely town again 


Verona~
So after our competition was done, which we did pretty well : ), we left for Verona, another town in Italy, didn’t manage to snap many pictures as I was quite shagged after so many days and it was a few hours bus ride from Riva to Verona haha so I am just gonna post a few which I think are interesting.  

But first! A ‘stunning’ pic with tranny gang hahaha 

Forgot where is this place, but HEYYY look so many houses! 

Think we were on this real huge and grand church on top of a mountain! Look at the view! Feel like chopping those trees off. Block my view!

Lol okay cute guy (* puke*) selling cameras, all sorts of cams. DSLR, Polaroid. Don’t like these 2? No worries still got digital cam and SLR.

Oops again I forgot where is this place, but just a very old? Lol ancient stadium when Spartans kill lions? HAHA not sure but it was quite breath-taking!


Actually out of the whole trip, the only thing I could rmb was the breads. Every meal I will see a basket of bread on the table, they are quite yummy. Its those like u see u will keep stuffing into ur mouth kind. Haha okay weird description. But I see them every meal that for a split second I tot they were the main course sometimes -.-

Strawberries! I just think this is a nice shot so I post hahaha 


Venice~
Yeaaaa its Venice people! One of the places I have to go on my bucket list totally got brainwashed by my social studies text book! Haha didn’t know that I would be visiting this beautiful place so fast in my life! Am really grateful!   But I was really drained from the whole trip until we were able to visit Venice, which was our last destination before heading back. But I was still happy as I have visited Venice! And I swear it is really sinking :/

hahaha spamming unglam shots of these people!

Start with a pic with our teacher in-charge, Mr chua! haha everybody smiling so brightly! U know why? Cause we are in Venice!!! LOL no link!

And my conductor TT! I think this place is called St. Parco Square? its the place u will definitely whenu google ' Venice'. 

This place is flooded with tourists and pigeons! I swear i was so scared that any of that birds might charge at mi which i will just scream and faint!

On the way to St Parco Square, beautiful buldings but soon u will realised they looked all the same but just diff. in colours then not too soon after that u will come to ur senses that u are lost.

Entering the alleys of Venice, i swear it is like a maze, and there are so many people ard. Look at those sampans! I guess that was the traditional 'taxis' for Venetians to travel ard last time? Didnt manage to have a go cause i think it is not worth the money and i shall just use the money and time to explore Venice!

A relaxed afternoon in Venice!

In one of the alleys! i was quite amazed by the way they hang clothes haha! but it adds more to the 'feel' provided that no water is dripping. and yup u will see everywhere ppl are selling pizza and pastas!

BRAVO! all the alleys leads to this river, it is really cool that they travel in boats instead of cars! this is one of those photo u can google online but my zai cam captured it haha


A 'taxi' stand in Venice? haha cool thing that is their taxi aint cars but boats, atas much!

Past by a pastries shop! didnt stop to buy. NEXT TIME!

#OOTD hahah saw this pretty mirror in a glass making factory or shop? so i took a pic of myself LOL hope sb is not laughing at me haha

Found this super nice photo in my cam of a kid running in st parco square. Not bad, magazine quality haha the sweet baby is so photo-genic! A really nice shot with my cam!

I like this shot too!


Going back to our hotel already T.T saw the sky was turning grey and the sad backview of my friends? but haha look at the bags of goodies they were holding! #victory

 Took this on the boat back to the main island. Bye bye venice it has been nice to step on u.

Yup so that pretty well summed up my trip to Italy with my school choir. Remarkable trip, hope to travel ard with my tranny gang again haha this time with tranny : ) haha thanks for looking through the pics and waiting for them to load cause I am aware their sizes are not small!

Ps. Nxt photo log will be on my hokaido trip!!
