Spring color 2011!! I scan the entire store to find a bright orange colored item, but to no avail!!
There is a wide variety of ice cream and sorbet! We are really spoiled for choice.
I go for Tiramisu and Lemon flavored gelato today!!
I want Bottega!!
The serving for the fried calamari is pathetic.. for 7 Euros.
10 Euros seafood pasta. The seafood serving is generous and the seafood is fresh.
I am zombied-out as I had a mere 5 hours of rest before work today. After work, we spend the rest of the day in town. I knock out before KC steps out from the shower.

I rest 3 hours and force myself out of the bed to have lunch, feeling extremely exhausted.
Lunch for two.
Mushroom pasta I share with Rae.
Rae's single expresso which smells great!
Our dessert.
My grocery shopping.
Alvin's purchase.
It's drizzling when we walk back to the hotel from the supermarket. We have to quickened our pace so that we are not caught in the rain. Once we step into the hotel, it starts pouring! Phew!
By the way, I learnt this house collapsed a day before I arrive. I hope there's no one in the house at the time of collapse.
I go into deep sleep shortly after ~

I went to bed at 12am last night and woken up by a phone call at 10.30am, being asked a few silly questions. I couldn't sleep on after that! Tsk tsk! So I start doing my laundry and shoot my new bag.
This is my lunch, my favorite Sphagetti arriabiata with shrimps n scampi. It's simply heaven!!
Clare's lunch she enjoys fully.
Johnny's pasta with mushrooms. Yummy!
After lunch, Clare and I walked to a nearby mall. And these are what we get from the huge supermarket.
After grocery shopping, we sit down for a break and enjoy gelato. There's many interesting flavors like watermelon, pistacio, hazel nut,lemon n etc. I pick lemon n strawberry. The lemon really perks me up after a heavy lunch! It's so sour and refreshing!
Clare wanna go back to the spectacle shop to see her gucci shades one more time. While waiting for her, I spot 2 lovely Japanese girls who reside in Milan.
Hooray! I find a shop selling glasses in a nearby mall as I am too lazy to travel to town. I manage to find the model I am eying on.
Taste one peach when I get back to room and it tastes sour. I hope there are sweet ones in the box!
This box of peaches cost us 3 euros (S$6)! Incredibly cheap! We carry this box with our groceries and walk back to the hotel which takes us 30mins! Gosh! We almost died! Haha. Attempt to hail a cab outside the supermarket, but we fail to find one. A man who spot us getting transport back to hotel, expresses interest in sending us back but we ignore him!

Summer sale commences today!! Clare, Sylvia and I are so happy to be in Milan as we are in time for the big event. Ha. The shopping district is filled with throngs of branded goods-hungry-people!! Summer stuffs are all going at 40-50% discount!! The price is so attractive. I nearly succumb to temptation.. n bring a deer skin Prada long wallet home. Ha. It cost 185 euros after 40 % discount. The wallet is so soft n nice!!
At the end of the day, I leave empty handed. I find the Ray Ban shades I wanna get but it's selling at 129 Euros at the first shop I go to and I couldn't find it in other shops. Hope I can find it tomorrow.
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele — The mother of all shopping malls: upscale shops in a splendid 19th century palace of a mall.
We are super duper worn out but feeling hungry when we reach the hotel at 9pm. So we go to a nearby eatery to fill our stomachs before going to bed.
Tomato mussel soup.
Complimentary bread with herbs. We love this too!
XXXL sized pizza.
WE LOVE TIRAMISU! We are stuffed but we have cravings for tiramisu! It's super delicious!!

It's raining when I get up in the morning at 5am, to get ready for work. The rain didn't take a break and it's still raining lightly outside. After knocking off, we head to our usual pizzeria for lunch, for some hot food to warm our stomach.
Milanese Chop (Pork chop)
Russell's seafood pasta.
Adelyne's pasta with lobster.
Jasmine's pasta with prawns and rocket leaves.
My seafood pizza!
Mandy's seabass and seafood, which came last.
A must-have after every meal..
