Ciao Mel!
My house mates, Anto and Mel. See you back in Singapore, Mel. Buon viaggio, enjoy the rest of your journey before you go back home to live a real life again. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Milan. Well, of course you did.

Just Cavalli
Final bash in Milan, before everyone disappears and the next time we meet is either in Singapore (for those of us who're lucky), or never again. When I saw tears rolling down Sylvia's cheeks despite the pained smiles that belied her reluctance to depart, I realised this was a watershed moment in the end of this escape from reality.
(On a side note, "watershed" was a deliberate pun about the shedding of tears, so kill me.)

Best Car on the Best Street
Rolls Royce on Via Montenapoleone, in a colour usually reserved for those convertibles driven by fat balding geezers who've finally made it big to drive that flashy car they've been wanting to drive since they were 20.

Tastes like Chicken
I want to throttle those goons that describe just about any other meat as 'tasting like chicken'. What does rabbit taste like? Chicken. What does crocodile taste like? Chicken. What does a pot of piss taste like? Chicken. Listen, unless it is really chicken, stop being dumb! Ray, Clara and I baked chicken for dinner, it was pretty good, except for a few power outages we suspected were caused by the energy-sapping oven.

Absolut Rain
In an uncharacteristic Milanese summer rain we crammed ourselves soaking wet into a little bar for drinks. Baby let's have sex on the beach.

From Fumagalli
Man what a night the 19th was. Good times to remember, here in Club Fumagalli. Thanks to Mike, Vera and Ray for hosting. Space Marine coooooooooooooool.

Ma Va Fanculo!
Antonio and I watched Egypt vs Italy. Who cares that Italy lost 1-0? The Confederation Cup is a stupid cup anyway! Italy's going to win the World Cup 2010. That's when the game counts.

I'll be Back
Again, I didn't toss a coin over my shoulder into the Trevi Fountain, because I know I'll be back another time anyway. Char said it was kind of me to accompany Mike's girlfriend around for this trip. I replied that many people at home have been taking care of mine for the past few months and making sure she wasn't bored and lonely (I'm thankful for you friends). But not for much longer, the countdown is what, 9 days? That's less than the digits on both my hands. Not too long now sweetheart.

Living like the Romans
This was taken at a Roman restaurant just within the vicinity of the Pantheon, far enough from the attraction itself to not be ridiculously expensive, yet close enough such that it didn't suck. Ox tail for Nick, salty pork sausages for Vera, and bone marrow for myself. Good food, good prices. After that we had gelato, and walked around a lot. Nick upgraded our stay, letting us crash at his hotel room.

Back in the Eternal City
Under the harsh Roman midday sun, a young redhead wheels his car over the marble surfaces of the fountain that, with the toss of a coin, can guarantee a return to The Eternal City. Oblivious to the myth that has ensnared travellers the world over, this young boy is happy just dipping his car into the cool waters of the Fontana di Trevi as if it were a boat. To him it's worth more than a handful of loose change anyway!

La Scala
We went to watch an opera at La Scala Theatre, just because. It was okay, but we couldn't really see much from where we were seated. I'm not talking about the 'seated so far away you cannot see clearly' kinda problem, but the 'the theatre is so strangely designed it's physically impossible to see the stage from where I'm seated' kind of problem.
It's a world famous theatre, so we were lucky to get tickets.

The Longest Wavelength
Red, associated with emotions that make your heart beat faster--anger, passion, love. Spotted this couple from afar (I suppose it was the red) and sniped a shot of them. Both looking good!

Rainbow Craft
Spent a day with Geri and Ryan, taking them down Via Montenapoleone of Milan, before heading to Lake Como to while the day away. 2 weeks till Char comes over. If I'm patient it'll be here before I know it.

Pray pray pray
This was a huge unending procession of bible thumpers marching across tram tracks and holding up the city. Antonio and I couldn't wait on the tram any longer so we got off this exact tram to take a walk. He asked in anger "isn't that what churches are for?? so you stay inside and not disturb everyone else??"I hope that for all the inconvenience they have caused, they were at least praying about something worthwhile, like money falling from the sky. Or, that I would pass my exams.
Sorry for the quality.

Tram 31 - Cinisello
Nothing like being at your balcony watching things happen. But this exchange programme is going by too fast! Doesn't help that exams speed things up.

Cherry Coke
Cherry coke: derivative of maraschino cherries and cola. Derivatives, according to a huge shareholder of Coca Cola Inc, are weapons of mass destruction. So many of us got destroyed today!

Exam Fail
Meddling around with player names to live out a fantasy whose confines lie not just within our screens, we do our best not to be pwned by European Economic Policy/Derivatives/International Banking etc, for the opportunity cost of death is plenty of gold and precious level-up experience. Can you discount level 25 worth of experience to its present value?

Iyi ki doğdun
Happy Birthday in Turkish. Good aperitivo. When you spend all day cramming in the library, leisure time is even better.

The Last King of Scotland
Long live the King, in this pub. Friday nights at Navigli, even better after the Business Strategy exam.

Braindeath Economics
We've been studying really hard. Sometimes it gets to us when we overwork ourselves. And this is only one course, so many more to go, for these two friends.

Exam Heat
Exams are coming! This picture was done at Gozde's Photobooth. Who actually likes doing their revision when this day signifies the final month here on exchange for some of us?
