The great Sheffield flood 2007

As usual, the BBC news got carried away, hence the title.

It was the day we got back in Sheffield from Florence and rasa terluluhawa. Italy was 36C and Sheffield freaking 10C. Nasib baik ada jaket with us that time. Seems like we have predicted how bad British weather could get, or I am simply a psychic. Joy.

Rumah kami agak tinggi dan berbukit, jadi tiada masalah. But some other parts were badly affected.

Hope the trains will be back on track with the schedule this weekend. Or else I will not be able to go Bartfest-ing.


Check out this news.
EU bans all Indonesian airlines.

Buona sera!



Nak tido. Penat gila.


Coto. A brief one since I am still munching my biscuits.

Oh ok. Torino best mainly because of their super excellent gelatos and no one speaks inglese. Phrasebook was our bestfriend there. Their gelatos are far, far better than in Florence, even better than Rome. Far cheaper too. Really.

Firenze, superb. Excellent lah.. But too touristy and almost everyone speaks inglese. Hoh except makcik at the Pisa airport self serve till. Polizia kacak belaka.

Coffee for €0.90 a cup. Murah gila, kaw-kaw pulak tu. Had few cups in one day.

Ngantoks. Till later then.

Ciao bella.

Sunset

Sunset yesterday, at around 22:00

Do you know that sunset is often more brightly coloured than the sunrise?

It's about health and it's about time!

England goes smoke-free July 1st 2007.

More here and here, and on tele, of course.

Another story.
It has been raining all day today and yesterday.


It's quite refreshing if you ask me. I love it when it rains.

Pasta a Roma


I still remember when the first time we had dinner in Rome. It was near Vatican, and the pasta sungguh tak sedap. Later we read in a travel book to avoid anything near the Vatican, simply because they're too expensive and tak sedap. Rasa macam makan straight from sauce dalam botol.

Then the next day, we went to this restaurant near Via Del Corso, and voila! Superb pasta, pizza, dessert semua superb. I had that seafood pasta, the best I've had in years.



ABC

A : 'Salman Khan dan saya bertentang mata semasa di Arena.'

B : 'Saya sedang turun dari bas hendak ke tempat kerja semasa Salman Khan sedang turun ke red carpet di Arena. Bus stop tersebut hanya 200m dari tempat Salman berada.'

C : 'Preity dan saya pergi makan-makan di Kebabish selepas majlis selesai. Dia kata dia lapar gile lepas 5 jam dalam tu.'


Mana satu yang betul? A, B atau C?

^o^

Bus 52

There's this one makcik I often saw on the bus 52. A very typical middle age office-lady-like one that you will normally think she's a housewife, with lots of kids, that loves to gossip (or loves to bake kuih at the office's small kitchen and goes for tea like forever).

After weeks, today we finally talked. She's no ordinary makcik. She's a genetic engineer.

Are we in the 80's or what?


What's the deal with this packaging? The first thing I did was check the best before date. Dec 2008.
Again. Why the 80s face? So funny. No offense kiddo (from the packet).
