what's jamming?
Jammed with the guys today at some jamming place called Stone Jamz. Yeah with the z at the back. It's somewhere off Clarke Quay at the shophouses there. So there was me, Ian, Desmond, Sharmen, Toon and Julie =D Ian and Toon came late. The guitar amps were noisy. The drums..they were passable but still better than my stock Pearl at home. We had a lot of fun man, like singing randomly, Ian doing crazy dancing and it all ended with me and Desmond just jamming it out drums and guitar. Thanks all for coming. We jam again soon.
So this morning I was by myself at Raffles City mac eating big breakfast (it's been a long while) waiting for Shu Anne and her filming people. Supposed to help her with this video thing. Well basically I is the main actor character. They're supposed to do this video about a person with some interesting hobby thing. So art was the hobby la. More than a hobby actually but nevermind. I had to do some crazy shots, like I was supposed to act like I was inspired and then suddenly walk away. So weird. But I had fun so it's ok.
School's starting in two weeks.

fiorentina
What's up with Florence? Let's see if I can recall.
We arrived by train at night, took the taxi to Sette Santi Hostel. Clause (Keng Beng's nephew) didn't realise that in Europe the driver sits on the RIGHT side of the car. So he actually wanted to drive us there, if you catch my drift.
Sette Santi is very nice. I bunked with Wenfeng and Jianwei in this luxuriously spacious hostel room fully equipped with a very nice view and a bathroom sink minus the bathroom. For the 4 days we spent there the sink became our best friend. We had to use a communal bath and toilet. Initially we had this smaller room with 5 bunkbeads AND a working toilet but Rina insisted they changed rooms with us because there were more girls than guys and it made more sense that 6 girls should bunk there rather than 3 guys. But the real reason is that there was a cockroach in her room(which then became our room but no problem for us cause we caught the bugger and killed it). The open window provided not only mosquitoes but instant ventilation and aircon, considering the air in Florence is also cold but not as dry. Breakfast was only limited to cornflakes and bread + jam. The coffee was super bitter.
The last night in the hostel there was a power shortage (not uncommon in europe) but equipped with our torchlights and handphones, we had a good time in moi's hostel room (because it was the most largest and spacious and windiest and it had a sink) playing hard attack and cards and shit. And almost all of us had sore hands from hard attack. Poor poor Rina.
So there is alot to see in Florence, apart from all the frequent visits to the ice cream parlours located almost 5metres apart from each other. The Ufizzi museum was very good, because we got to see tons of stuff like that Creation of Venus (for those non-art people, its that chick that's standing in a clam shell covering her bits with her hands and hair) there was Leonardo and stuff. Basically whatever that was taught in Art History, if you were paying any attention and not sleeping, it's almost all there. I think the best part was Caravaggio. We didn't get to see David in the Academie because we kinda didn't have enough euros.
So apart from that Florence is quite relaxed. Alot of walking and exploring. The food was ok. We kinda got used to the concept that there is very little rice. Only pasta and bread and meat. But on the last day we had this amazing meal at this restaurant just behind the Ufizzi with NO cover charge.
And that's all I can remember about Florence.

part one - rome
abit before i go cut my hair
So after 12+ hours of flying, we finally reached the Leonardo Da Vinci airport(no bullshit) in Rome. The we cabbed to the hotel. First thing, European traffic - very fast, very cramped. Second thing - European bikes - damn nice.
The hotel is very nice. Like some country getaway. We were in some town (can't remember the name) so it was very peaceful and quiet. Shared the room with Izwan from year2 photography. The air was very dry and get this, whenever you stand in the shade, it's very cold but whenever you're out in the sun, it's an oven just like in Singapore.
In Milan we visited the Vatican city - Museum and where the Pope supposedly lives (i dont remember). The museum is where we got to see all the sculptures lined up in one very very huge hallway. Kind of like a supermarket aisle of sculptures. Then we got to so the Sistine Chapel (sixteenchapters) the Michelangelo God Adam thing Raphael Plato and Aristotle thing. An hour of straining your neck up to look at the fantabulous paintings. Paintings of sculptures that are almost 3D. Trust me when you're there you can't differentiate between sculpture and painting. OK now the building where the pope supposedly lives (i googled it) is called St Peter's Basillica and it is HOLY SMOKES. You can't even comprehend how huge it is and how tiny and insignificant you are when you're inside (this can be said with all other large churches and stuff in europe) Jut our luck we had this beams of light surging into the aisles as we entered. No drama needed. It's all there.
Our next stop is the Colosseum and some ruins which I can't remember. Colosseum - nothing much. See the previous pictures in the previous post. It's very very big. Colossal (no pun intended) Like they should turn it into some football field. The ruins however proved to be more interesting. They included the house of some Roman big shot that died years ago. OH wait, that big shot was one of the Roman emperors. Apart from that, walking walking and more walking. In fact this day was the day me and Jianwei missed the early bus and had to travel there on our own. We rendezvous with the main group at the Colosseum.
And that was Rome for you. Didn't even get to see the ACS Roma stadium.
