♥ Italia - Pisa ♥

Pisa, a city in Tuscany, central Italy, was the third destination of our trip to Italy.
It was a day trip, and we took a train from
Firenze Santa Maria Novella railway station (Florence) to Pisa, which was only one and a half hours. After that we took a bus from the railway station to the Square of Miracles.

BORED?

Hello hello.. It's been so loooonngg since i last updated my blog.. I've got back from Nizhny since a month ago on the 25th June.. Time flies really.. Today it's already the last day of July.. One more month left before flying back to Nizhny.. *-* How i wish i can just stop the time and enjoy the holidays FOREVER!!! *evil grin*

Went for an east-coast trip with my family last week.. Really miss the sea, the different beaches, and the different kinds of food.. Updates will be coming up really soon.. Most of the pictures are with my sister, who is now in KL, so i'll post the pictures taken during the trip once i get them from her..

After the trip, I've done practically nothing except lazying around.. What to do, without transportation plus i have super phobia driving, so even if i have a car (which i don't), i can't go anywhere but to spend my time at home, online-ing and watching lotsa movies and series, while waiting for my parents to come home from work in the evening.. And can only go out on weekends when my parents have days off.. Really UNPRODUCTIVE and UNEVENTFUL, but still, it's SUMMER BREAK!!! It means i'm supposed to rest as much as i want, read as many books (not medical) as i can afford it, right.. Guess i was so used to a hectic life for the past ten months that i feel uneasy with myself being so useless and lazy, hehe.. ^.^

ready, set, go!

It's time to take a long deep breath.....


.....and plunge into the deep waters of assignments, exam preparations, case reports, presentation, finals, and a million other things on my to-do list! Four more weeks till the end of the semester and exams.. And then i'll be flying back to my home sweet home.. ❤
Now there's no time to slack and procrastinate already.. Probably won't be updating as much until my exams are over..
Pray that i don't drown in the process.. Gambatte all.. ^.^
