Last checkin before the cruise

In Rome before heading for the cruise tomorrow. 

Then, there will be no access to Internet and phone. 

Roman theme room @ Hotel Alexis, next to a Pinoy restaurant. 

PS: Most Singaporeans will buy branded bag in Europe but I got none! 

No time for shopping :( 

My all time fav - jamon con melon

I can never have enough of this: so yummy! 

I am not a pizza person but this is surprising good, especially the artichoke.

Lastly, Here's a view of ponte vecchio (@florence) 

What for dinner in Venice ?

My dinner @ Ristoteca Oniga. 

It's black and white 

Splurge

My new buy after the fortune master advised to get a gold ring. 

In fengshui, gold is suppose to create water - an element which my ba-zhi is lacking. 

Or is it an excuse for me to splurge on another piece of jewellery?  

Little step to change my lifestyle

I started gym awhile ago and every week, I am rewarded with sore muscles (going from shoulder to arm to back to abs to thigh to lower leg and butt !! Yes, butt too)  

Still, I go back for more; hoping to get a healthier body. 

Since I started to exercise, I decided that my boy will need get some too.. 

So, he's getting longer walk each day. 

I believe he's doing very well, except he "knock out" every night ;) 

Racer enjoying the walk and scenery.

Racer: "I'm so tired"

Insomnia

Suffering from insomnia and nightmares recently.
I think I am turning zombie soon.. I just flare up and lay my hands on racer.
Poor boy that become my victim. Sorry!

Just too many emotional going on.
After multiple times, now I truly understand why people quote this "say already also no use, save the breath".
And little small things can built a mountain (?? Is this the right description)

At work, I can speak up and have people consider my thoughts.
Outside work, I am invisible (?)
Anyway, I am glad that my no-pay leave is less than 48hrs away.
I need plan for my life, I have care and worry too much about other feelings that I ignore mine.
It is really tiring and painful to wear a cheerful mask and pretend everything is well.

I even have to confide in my little diary and lock up some items. It is a world opposite from reality.
I must be crazy, maybe it's mid life crisis. Haha..

Oh, came across this site that describe Scorpio:
Mmm.. I am control freak? I guess in some aspect.
Hard to earn my trust but once you do, I will not drop you - damn true!
In all, why it makes it sounds like I am dangerous creature to be with?

3. a small chocolate tart
4. 9 truffles

But taking MRT with these is quite a pain!

Sleepyheads

OMG!!

Porn's Thai

First time trying out the restaurant.
We had
1. Tom yum prawn
- I like the hot and sour soup but it may be too strong of a taste for some.
2. Glass noodles salad
- nice but sour too
3. Pineapple rice
- too bad but rice is kind of hard
4. Mango sticky rice
- nice but expensive for the small portion.
5. Drinks - lemongrass, lemon tea and Thai ice tea.
- good!! But again, I think it's pricy.
($4-5 per glass)

Total bill was $58.
I like some of the food but wouldn't frequent often due to the price :)
