- Set all the clocks back by a hour today - the end of the DST.
- Its a public holiday Tomorrow
- Dad has been studying for the driving theory test for past whole week, whole sat too
Why is he studying? Cos some It. guy up there is epic fail, I mean seriously. He is gonna drive to the driving center to take a driving related test? O.O Told him tt if he doesn't pass the test, don't bother paying and trying again. Just pay the fine if he gets one, he has not been stopped for our whole year here -.- - I'm gonna have my piano exam in Rome on the 7th of decem. Must finish all my scales by this week. Need to memorize period definitions. Also need to TRY to improve the s.r. with the few books i have. Aunty Bee Ha helped us buy the new edition aural books. No major big change except that if I had done next year i don't need to learn the Ic-V progression -.-
- Wind has been howling outside the house since yesterday night. We are afraid that the windows upstairs might break, there is relatively large space (3 meter by 1) upstairs that has glass facing all 4 sides. Good lighting but we don't know how strong the windows are. The acorn tree outside the sofa area (belonging to the landlord) is being tossed around. When is she going to cut it -.- the tree might fall any time and it is covering the top of a section of road
- Gonna study through my supposed hols. Wasted so much time already. Don't know why I just cannot accomplish more in one day. A.D.D. maybe?
- Jogging 10km with bro tmr, hopefully the weather will get better. Did 8km speed play on thurs. Not very intense though, more like a jog actually. :)
- Reading a book called "I Kill". It was written in Italian by Giorgio Falettei (I memorised the name haha) but was translated to english. Got it frm Florence. And again, Florence has good kebabs. Want to go back and go see the supposed scenic areas and take photos. Don't know if i will have the money to go overseas next time. With my chinese 80% gone, it would be a miracle if I can get into a good jc. No cca points, no HCL points (higher chinese not hydrochloric acid haha), and worse I have to pass A-level chinese to go uni IF I get into JC. -.- Have myself to thank for slamming the JC door shut I guess -.- At least some ppl do well and can choose where they want to go.
- Bleh its going to rain tomorrow (and next few days). Hopefully the weather forecast is wrong :) Autumn's like that I guess?
- Oh we got some jogging stuff for Iain to go jog with me in this weather. some 3/4 jogging tights (that become full jogging tights on him) and a wind breaker. With both the same kind as mine. Now we will look like walking decathalon adverts xD His windbreaker is a different colour though. Mine is blue and his is yellow. Or is it orange. No idea. I bought a pullover and a pair of pyjama like pants (which was from some friday market). Oh we had pizza on friday when i went to do my permesso di sogiorno. I'm 14 so I had to get one. I did not have a signature. Hope it will be consistent when I go down to the questura
some time soon?(things here take nearly forever :) - Finished with maybe half or a third of the chem worksheets my school sent. Must finish all the maths we questions for the sec 3 e-math. I'm done but I don't think it stuck in my little mind :)
- I shall go and sleep. I think thats all. Oh I have to reply hannah on fb. The wind outside is strong man. Its cold upstairs. 16 degs or less. House is a little drafty. Air is not completely still. It was warmer outside this morning. And.. ehh.. oh its Halloween today.
- Happy Halloween :) neighbours did not come up for candy. We were approached for candy by some kids last year though :D
Its very cold now.. And its only autumn.. Colder than when we arrived. Was so cold outside just now.. 10 degs or less O.O
Jogged 8km with bro last fri, 22nd oct.. His and my first 8km jog. At once :D thats pretty little actually xD
Went to Florence last week to get dads driving licence books in english (he has to convert his stupid licence to italian one. Irony of it is that he is driving to the test centre to take his test -.-). He has a week to study. There are 2 books. Like textbk and workbk xD
The store sells only english books. Interesting store. We bought 3 other books. One of which is a very interesting book entitled, "Italian without words" Its a picture book teaching you Italian gestures. Very hilarious. We bought it more as a souvenir then anything else. Other 2 were just storybooks. Is novel the word?
Went to the Ikea near to Florence and returned my bed. There was this bump on it that came from some layer below it. Full refund :D Bought a new bed and some other things and we had 2 refillable soft drink cups plus the ikea ice cream and fries at the food place.. Ikea looks the same everywhere. just bigger -.-
WE TRANSPORTED A BED HOME ON TOP OF OUR CAR WITH FREE NYLON STRING FROM IKEA :D THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN'T DO ANYMORE! xD
We only realised tt we could not transport the bed home after checking out. The pick-up place was comparatively far from the Ikea itself o.O Used lots of string from ikea o.O One at both sides, one in middle and 3 at corners (2 front and 1 back) (on roof rack) Good thing it did not rain.. Even tho there was plastic. Enough nylon can hold a bed in place against 80km/h drag.. lalala..
I'm gonna sleep now. Oh and daylight is getting short. Piano exam is coming. Better master the pieces real quick. first week of December actually. Having it in ROME(5 hrs south) and paid alr. Not cheap man. No it should be: "Expensive man" xD
bb Mummy, Iain's and my birthday have come and gone. We had steamboat on my b'day. Mum made a cake as well :) used icing and the rainbow sprinkles xD
Dad had gone to the hospital on sat after feeling discomfort in the chest for the past few days. He had his first ever hospital stay. Ever. x) Doctors had wanted to make sure nth was wrong. A doc told him on sat that he is 90% sure it has nothing to do with the heart, and said it might be something in the stomach(which always gives strange symptoms) The best part, he didn't pay a cent. He had a couple of ECG tests and dunno what else. Mom also took the bus home, first of us to take one here :D
Uncle Joseph passed away on 5th of October, which is also mum and Iain's birthday. He was so young, and he had 2 kids, one of which does not even know what is going on. Feel so sad for them, they will not have the father figure around... Gugu shared how sad she felt when she helped hang up the clothes. Sometimes when someone passes away you just are at a lost for words. It was so sudden.. The frailty of life. Treasure everyone around. Cos everyone is someone's close kin. Sigh..
Going to uncle Ugo's house for dinner tomorrow. Finished the first chap on graphs in the a-math tb.. I shall have to go revise all the chapters in the e math. Esp the last few.
Gonna sleep now. its late..
All About.. Me
I'm a kinda short kid currently staying in Italy, who gets hungry too often. x)
