off to vatican[eternal] city!
to see museumssss.
we went to st peters basilica and the sistine chapel.
the ceiling's freakin wow.
i wonder how the leaf sticks to his balls.
this sculpture's by michelangelo just like how most of the rest were by him.
but he didnt sign the rest, only this.
this is what happened[from wiki]:
The Pietà (1499) is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City... According to Giorgio Vasari, shortly after the installation of his Pietà Michelangelo overheard someone remark that it was the work of another sculptor, Cristoforo Solari.
Michelangelo then carved MICHAELA[N]GELUS BONAROTUS FLORENTIN[US] FACIEBA[T] (Michelangelo Buonarroti, Florentine, made it) on the sash running across Mary's breast. It was the only work he ever signed. He later regretted his outburst of pride and swore never to sign another work of his hands.
siao ah!
i swear i'll like sign every piece of art i ever do because I drew it and i wanna credit myself.
and when you dont, this is what happens cos people can steal your credit.
regretted his outburst of pride HAHA.
he must be really cold all the time.
haha inside joke.
on the ceiling.
sculpted?
nope! it's flat actually, looks 3D right!
a sign telling you to fall down the stairs.
outside st peters basilica.
lynnie.
with the family!
supposed to be with the fountain.
ah the paintings were like really freakinnnnn nice.
wish i could paint like that.
HAHA ok not really haha id rather wish i could do cooler stuff like dance better.
the guy at the restaurant we ate for lunch.
HAHA he looks like a clown.
omg you know when we first walked in some guy just like totally flashed a cam in front of us and i was like wth, and i didnt know, i thought they just took me and my sis.
so before the food came zehzeh and i went to take picture with this dude and at the end of our meals, some waiter came with printed photos of us and this guy
and they tried to sell us for 10 euro[S$20].
anw i looked at my face in the pic and i was like a weird smile which just spasmed at the split sec of the flash, wah damn ugly.
haha me and my sis got pics with him for free.
you aint gonna rip us off!! buahahaha.
oh then THIS was for dessert
i thought it was like damn cool or smth but seriously when i ate it it tasted like shit.
zehzeh liked it, so i gave her.
anw later it was ripping off time for real.
we went to the colosseum!
i forgot what this place was for shit i wanna find out.
aha, historyforkids.org. wonderful.
history for kids like me!
When Vespasian became the new Roman Emperor in 69 AD, he wanted everyone to know that he cared about the people and was going to take care of them and not live luxuriously as Nero had. So he built an amphitheater and it was called the Colosseum. It was a place where a lot of people could sit and watch entertainment. The entertainment was mostly people killing animals, or people killing each other.
wth? they are teaching kids that's considered entertainment?
HAHAHAH.
anyway later we saw some fake guard guy and we thought he was wah damn cool so we decided to get pictures with him.
here are mine!
so anw i took after zehzeh did, and when we were both done he said to my sis: 5 EURO.
like per person.
omg go and die ah!
he totally didnt even tell us we had to pay.
and i swear if he said it to me i'd have run off spouting random japanese like 'arigato gozaimatsu! watashiwa kawaii des! Otoo-san to okaa-san wa doko desu ka??'
like seriously what would he have done, chase me everywhere i go? see if you can catch me in all that metal.
or like grab me till i pay? i can shout molest.
or kill me with your sword? HAHA then you wont get your monehh!
and you get jailed.
but zehzeh paid anyway and ah i dont care alr lah. XD
pretty gloves deserve to get a picture.
there's glitter strings in the yarn also but cannot see :(
wally and me.
then to the trevi fountain!
pretty pretty.
legend says if you toss a coin in the river, you'll come back to visit rome someday.
retarded faces.
less retarded.
then it was off to the spanish steps!
whoo.
their macs is damn cool!
it's like a jewellery store. XD
anw this is only the cafe part i think, where you order only loser stuff like coffee and donuts, the real store's inside.
HAHA who bothers to baimei in their macs?
anw all the shops are on the ground floor old italian houses and there are no large shopping malls anywhere so you walk on the streets to do your shopping.
and guess what!
it sucks cos like EVERYONE SMOKES.
ok almost everyone.
like i walk down a street and every 5 seconds i am like huueghhhhhing.
but still i find myself forgiving them cos...
