new year, new seasons
While I'm still getting used to the unseasonably warm weather in London, as well we my uncharacteristically slack timetable this term, I found out that 2 of my favourite TV shows are now on air!
Rome Season 2, out now on air, rumoured to be the final season (what a pity due to budget reasons I belive), will focus on the battle between Octavian and Mark Antony. And of course, following the footsteps of Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo again. Such a remarkable setting!
and ...
24 , Day 6, the 1st 4 eps are out on DVD already and seems quite exciting already. To be honest, day 5 will be hard to beat, because its THAT good, but oh wells.
So, wherever you are, USA, Singapore, Europe, catch these shows, and you won't regret it.
And yeah, theres the small thing about the Australian Open. heh. I hope to catch the final, somehow ...

Spain, Italy and Beyond
It's been quite a tiring few weeks, but unbelievably awesome!
After skiing in France, came back for xmas for a day before departing for Madrid-Barcelona-Rome-Florence-Pisa for a super packed 2 week holidays. I think you may be bored if I rant on about the trip, but I've uploaded the pics here so you can enjoy it as you like. As well as ski trip ones
Didn't take many shots within the cathedrals as pics just cannot capture the beauty and stunning artwork. Also, most places banned photography within the museums etc.
It has also been rewarding for me, kinda like a mid-year break (well it is one) for my 1 year here, had a super interesting new year countdown in Rome where the fireworks just go off 10 metres ahead of us, and lil kids blowing up things their parents were giving them. awesome! we did try to purchase some crackers tho but to no avail, sadly. oh well.
heres a clip of some fireworks (which was supposedly made legal only for the new year). and us getting splashed by some alcohol hurhur.
Of all, Rome has to be my favourite. Where London is a melting pot of cultures from around the world, Rome is a mix of the old (2000 years old) and the new. It's like the city refuses to let go of its past, and you see quite a interesting blend of antiquity and modernity. And some things, just don't quite change over time, do they?
Anyways, off to a new term. Handed in 2 essays this week, so feeling rather happy over it heh. the WJ guys went to Northend Road today and bought back about 2 weeks worth of meat! haha, its so cheap, I guess we just bought as much as we could carry.
Ok, gotta go for a steamboat now. It's great to be back in halls =)
ciao and Felice Anno Nuovo everyone!
