Restful Milan

I don't really like to blog about mundane things which sound like a minute to minute write up about my life. But this time I shall! Simply because I am in M-I-L-A-N!

I'm sitting in my hotel room right now by the window looking out into the streets which are empty and almost devoid of human activity. I think that's because my hotel is located in the business district and it's Sunday. But in general I think life here ain't very interesting. Pace is slow, food is not as diverse as I'd like it to be. Weather is just nice, air-con room temperature. Lots of nice parks where people picnic or just bring their kids to randomly run around. (Have you ever noticed that kids are really good at running everywhere and yet nowhere??) I suppose it's kinda banal to be sitting around in my hotel room in the early evening. I should be out there exploring stuff and what not. But truth be told, I much prefer to sit in my room and nua. Blogging (which I've not done for ages) and listening to casting crowns' relatively melodramatic music. Just quiet and peace. Which I've not had in a long time. Alone, in solitary confinement and able to just let my thoughts drift without wondering what is it exactly I've to do next? What are the implications of pausing for a few minutes of my life?

I bought a pretty dress from Zara just. Spent two hours walking around the shopping area. So many brands and all so expensive. But I like Zara and I like my Zara dress. It's red and white. Most patriotic. It is also a dress I think I'd like to wear to a garden wedding party. Or something like that. I like dresses. Especially stratford wife type dresses. I hardly have time to go to Zara in Singapore. So it's good I go to Zara in Milan. I like Zara.

Ate 2 ginormous scoops of gelato ice-cream. Yummy.

Waiting for Italian people to take me out to dinner. But actually all I wanna do is sleep... for now. Because it's 1 am in Singapore but it's only 6 pm here. But oh well...

I thank God for rest. After a long long while, I feel rest. I like rest. I like Milan.
