Hello .. hello...

Now my feelings are more settled, not as unsettled during the last weekend. Time heals our emotions, right? What am I babbling about??

For the last few days, I have been bringing my laptop to office cos my office pc does not allow chatting, it has been blocked... meebo, ebuddy, msn, yahoo, skype, etc.etc... all Kaput! Blocked!! (any other link suggestions?) So that left me no choice but to bring my own laptop and using the another wifi line to connect... aha... then only I can chat... with who??? Of course with Aaron, no else.. Because of our time difference, the only economical way is to chat through online. One call to Italy cost me RM 1.21 per minute and I dont talk only for 1 minute, mine can last many many minutes... (yes, this month bill will be sky high....)

Since he is staying in a hotel, he has to pay 8euro per day if he wants the Internet connection... no point spending that amount for just a few hours... so now the only way we keep in contact is during his daytime and my night time... Now that I am home, I have more excuse to be glued to the computer... priority is always here...


our windows on skype...


his 1st day in Rome...



Here is a brief update of his daily schedule, he wakes up at 6am, shivering to the coldness of the floor, he will go for a hot shower before leaving for work. His journey takes about 20 min. by bus to his office. There are about 3000 employees in this factory and he is now under a very nice and helpful italian boss. Each day he goes to the canteen, savoring all sorts of italian food, so much so that he does need some new pair of pants in no time... lol.... Weather is getting colder and colder each day, something like Gentings during the day but freezing cold during the night...

That is all for now, it is going to be a week since he has left for Italy... as for me here, whenever I need to hear his voice, all I got to do is Dial and Say Hello B....
