dedicated to spring.....the season for beautiful dreams....



hmmm....spring is almost gonna give way to summer....
everyone here thinks that i am some alien creature that has some serious brain damage....for i cringe at the thought of summer....how could anyone hate summer? who hates summer? me....

it's my second summer here so i guess i haven't embraced the concept well....for the rest of the year....having cool and sometimes cold weather is such a bliss for me....summer comes with the humidity (although not like in Malaysia), the sunburns, the oily face blotting paper, mosquitoes....and the list goes on...

i guess most of all...summer comes with this self consciousness....for i lack the confidence to walk around with shorts....tight tops etc etc....it feels like the Italians waited all year in coats and sweaters....just to finally see summer and reveal the beautiful bodies....i mean...i dont know how they do it, but they do remain skinny and glowing through all winters....not affected by food cravings like i do in winters:)

well...i am lucky i am here in Italy, and not UK or America.....at least here...i am not given the privilege to think that Asians are petite.....the perception of health here is wonderful and looking good (healthily) is such an important part in their lives...well...hopefully i don't return to Malaysia with another 20 kg additional baggage....
