ok. time to properly blog about athens (: haha. i heart greece (((: not their civil servants, but the actualy country -.- i definitely want to go back. either with someone special, or my parents. hahaha, weird combi yes. or maybe mel. cos she's so in love with sisterhood of traveling pants afterall. grins, but its to the greek islands. like mikonos or santorini. athens is pretty small, and though its gorgeous, full of history and incredibly interesting, there's only this amount of time u can spend there without getting bored or seeing the same place. hahaha.

anyway, since i've been back, i've been spending alot of time alone in my room just thinking about things, spacing out and reading (: i like. i haven't had much time to do that at all e past few weeks. ah wells. but all that has to stop today -.- cos i have 2 essays due next week, plus rehearsals tmr. doink doinks.

anyway, athens in photos (:

angela, kaylene & i on the plane ((: angela's baby (puppy to kaylene), and kaylene's chippy. i'm well WJ. ahaha. or mummy to angela. if u could catch that at all. hahaha.

streets of athens. very run-down city actually. haha.

the acropolis at night (:

the hotel we stayed at - fresh hotel. super cool boutique hotel. i love. but i must say the smoking indoors culture is a major turnoff -.- seriously. i was choking half the time. throat hurts from all e second hand smoke. grumbles.

us 3 in the hotel on the second day (:

the main city square. they had hearts all over the place for vday :D haha. the parliament building is behind me!

sunset in plaka. i love the winding small streets ((:

kaylene! with the gorgeous flowers in our hotel.

angela baby (: hahaha. all frightened of the fish market. grins.

central market in athens. mummy would so love it. it'd be nicer if the vendors didn't keep calling out to you, yelling in weird jap or chinese, and like pestering you -.- seriously do they have a chinese girls fetish or smthing. damnit. and the funniest thing would be when they ask us three where we're from. at e beginning we tried the 'england, singapore and hongkong' thing. after awhile, we just burst out laughing everytime they asked us. haha.

octopus :D yumyum! hahaha. had so much octopus & calamari when we were there. kaylene and i were on a pure seafood diet. so gooood!
