I wrote a letter to my Aunt, telling about my journey so far..and mostly about Italy..
and here it is..
sigh,and as i do wrote, sweet memories just keep flowing in my lil brainss..
awhhh, i miss dat moments..!
Although it may seems that i went there in just a small period of time, but dat little short period is the period that i had experience the most; could be even more then my 17years of life=x! lol.
Most importantly, i found someone who would like me the way i are; i had family,cousins and fwens there..somthing that i have here in M'sia too..XD!
So,its had been a part of me ever since....=))
Hii 4Sum....
How are u???
I'm doing great here..just got back my SPM result and i guess,most of you knows wad i got..XD and i'm happy able to
achieve all A's for it...
I'm starting my college soon, next thurs to be exact..=x Not really sure for this big college thingy =ss
Studying in
Sunway College and doing
AUSMAT..same like my sis,but my subjects are more to like engineering..
ya'kno..i told u dat i wanted to take up pyschology right..but my dad said dat jobs request is low and stuff..so i couldnt take it..and i wanted to take it as an extra sub, but coz im in an intensive course..the counselor there dont really encourage me to do..=(..but i guess, i could study dat byself or sumthing..
And about Italy..it was a life-time expriences..it could be said as
UNDESCRIBALBE =D..i had really much fun there. at 1st it was kinda hard, but i think i managed to adapt myself quickly there..in just 1day, i get to be close to my host family, maybe bcos of their friendliness which make
me feels like home=) and my host sister,
Elisa who cares alot about me..
She brings me where ever she goes..dats how i could make fwens wif her fwens..and AND my host uncle hosted an
AUSTRALIAN boy too,named Liam from Perth..so both of us gets really close together and we were helping each other out at times..Liam,me and my host sis went to the same high skul but im diff class frm them coz im older..
We joined the scout and it was really fun..i get to see how italians spend their time..and i gained lotsa fwens frm there..close 1 toOXD..
But in school, i dun really much enjoyed it..1stly coz they all speaks in Italian and i had to struggle to understand it..so most of them at 1st doenst mix around wif me, but after awhile..they do and I haf 3good fwens in class..Most of them helped me to translate their lesson into English..and i able to understand most of it except for Storia and Phylosophy
(dislike the prof =s)...
We have school every Mon-Sat..and Sat class is mostly gym..so usually, i mean..
every Sat, me and Liam will skip skul to go around Italy..just the both of us..we took train together. It is kinda fun and adventurous coz we both doesnt kno the places well, and we gota find our way by asking ppl for direction and stuff..well, it definately help to boost my confidents and independenceXD..coz here in M'sia, i dun think i get to that...=s So we haf visited :
Florence, Venice (twice), Veronna, Ravenna and some small towns around Padova,the place where i live..=) And in Veronna, went we went there..there is a
CARNIVALE..where people dress up and had band playing, sumthing like a masquerad..it was really fun! and that was my 1st time watching that in the Arena! =)
My host dad bring us around and visited the churches..wow, they are really beautiful wif all the sculptures and monomentsXD..and my family goes to church every Sun, and i tag along too...i able to learn their religion there too..its really cool!
And
Chrismas is the best in Italy..that was my 1st time to celebrate the real Christmas, went to church in Christmas Eve and when we get home on Christmas day,
presents are already under the Christmas tree=))..i got presents frm them too! I really enjoyed it..and we have family lunch together..! Is really an eye-opening..coz i dun celebrate Christmas here.
When in
NewYear..i went to attend a party hosted by my host sis's bf..it was fun..fwens all gathered around for the countdown;
dancing,playing; drinking..it was really nice..something dat I did wif my fwens back here too..
Well,my
birhtday is in January and so, i celebrated my
18th birhtday here in Italy..at 1st, i was kinda sad that i couldnt celebrated it wif my family and fwens but turns out, my host family did a birthday party for me..and it was a
masquerade party!! I was really touched by it....I invited all my fwens to my home,not really much but am glad i able to haf them along=)
We had fun partaying and i really had a blast on my birthday!! XD..it was the best.
The next day in skul which was my actually birthday date..my classmate
throw a surprise party for me too..and i thought they won't as they aint that close to me..but they did, and my 2good fwens bake cakes for me too..i'm really happy that they did so much for me!!
Schools turn out to be not dat boring after all if we haf someone to share with..
For vacations, i went to the
mountains..1st time wif my sis and my host cousin..we went and stayed there for 1nite! That's how i get to be gud fwens wif my host cousin,
Giulia..we played bob and slide down the mountain..it was really fun, snows are super white!! lol..it was really the 1st time i played with snow..so it was really a good feeling!..
and we stayed up late chattin about everything frm boys to er..boys =pp hahaha..
And as i told earlier, i joined their scout and i really love scout there..people there are really fun to be with,althought they are younger then me..but i able to mix around wif them easier than my classmate=x..anyway..i went along for their
camp in the mountain(3D/2N)..we have to hike up the moutain and it was soo..difficult! I was the last to reach up..but
able to reach up there and see the beautiful scenery was really awesome and worth all the fats-burning!! We had fun games to played in the snoww..and it was really great, it was a chance for me to get to know all of them better and for them to get to know me better too..and i felt after the camp,all of us are really close togetherXD..
As i have to go back from Italy soon,feelings started to mix around either to be feeling happy to able to go home, or sad that i have to leave them..Actually,
i felt more of the sadness than the happiness in me..coz i believe and i think that I may not able to see them as often or as soon as i feel like to..
It seems although in that short period, i have somthing which i treasure and love there..i have a family, a home and my fwens there.It seems like a second home to me already..and thats why i really misses Italy and the people there! ='((
and
i felt that is not the places,the sceneries or the beautiful cities in Italy that make me love and misses Italy so much..but the people there;my fwens and family..coz w/o them, it will seems empty to me. Like how Australia means to me coz all of you are there..=)
So,before i flied back..they had me a farewell party and all fwens are invited,since it was the last party and the last gathering..we enjoyed ourself to the maxx! Making all the sweet memories for me to remember for a really long time. And for the party, i baked myself a 'crostata',a type of cake wif my name L.I.L.Y on it..XD!!
A day before i hafto go to the train station,
my lil brothers wrote a letter for me..well, 1 is in english and the other is in italiano..and when i start reading it, tears started to floww..huhu, although the msg was short and his english is not good, but it was
really touching about what he said in the letter..=X
On the day i leave,
everyone send me off to the train station..even 3 of my close fwens from scout!! They came over once the school finish! I was crying as 1st..but as the clocks ticks and my train may come any sooner, well..i started to tears 1st then all of them.i was sooo sad to leave them..so do they! ='( well, but......i kno, every meeting there will be a separation to go tru..but
i promised them that i will come back to visit oneee dayy... Sadly when im back..i got sick and was sick for almost a week..=XWell, thats all of my stowie in Italy..I think this is my longest email i ever wrote..and when i wrote this email here, it really brings back all the sweet memories in Italy and makes me missing it more now! huhuhu..aikxx..but i believe
"Happiness is real when only shared"..so i just loved to shared it wif everyone..=D
p/s: thanks for the shirt and the hand pouch and the letter,il be keepin that!XD
Take care,
Lily
