something new

Friendster is trying out their new version of their Friendster Blogs. Making it better or easier to use and stuff. I’ve noticed it’s a lot like (read as : Identical to) the wordpress dashboard… which doesnt bother me in the least, because I quite like my other wordpress blog too! But I might come back to write here more often. I’ll have to to a little more tweaking with the colours at the moment… the current blog is quite minimalist as you can see, nothing wrong with that though :)

It’s been a while since I last wrote in here… a monthor 2 now if I’m not wrong. I was gettign all emo before the mothers came for holiday. It’s over now and as you can tell, I’ve survived relatively unharmed. I’m absolutely certain now though that those 2 women must NEVER AGAIN travel together. They’re just too different, wanting different things and I reckon both would be much much much happier on a cruise or a bus tour rather than winging it on their own the way we did in Italy. They were fussy about the food, tired from walking, grumpy from heat, and while MIL wanted to sightsee, all my mum wanted to do was shop for souvenirs. The difference in priorities were different. ANd as for Kwang and I, we wanted to get as much done as possibe, to see lots and do lots and there were so many places, galleries and museums we wanted to visit but couldn’t make it there because the mothers were too slow and some place that SHOULD have taken a nice brisk 30 minute walk to get to (by Kwang and my standards), actually ended up taking all morning… that’s about 3 hours!!!

I know they’re old and tired and not accustomed to walking. I mean… my mum actually drives to the fish n chip shop that’s 2 blocks away from our place (in NZ) to buy fish n chips! That’s only a 5 minute walk but she drives. I can’t blame them for being slow and grumpy in Italy. But I have every right to complain!

I’ve been writing… and I’m STILL writing… about our trip in Italy. Posting heaps and heaps of photos recounting our time in each city visited. I’m nearing the end of our trip in Rome and will soon  write about Milan. I know it’s been a long time coming. I’ve been getting lazy when it comes to writing the travel journal at the moment. The longer I leave it, the less likely I am to finish it. So… in any case, pop over and have a look there :) Here’s a preview while i test out the new photo uploader here…

Milan

ps. the photo uploader is exactly the same as wordpress ;)
