Thank you so much for the congratulations!

Hi! Yes, I do remember you, how can I not? :)

I am still trying to get used to the culture as well as the weather here. Its a drastic change for me for sure, and I am sure that your girlfriend can attest to that.

I just hope for it all to go better for me in time.

hwz it going?? Sorry i missed the wedding dinner! But thanks for the invite. hope u feeling better by now and in good health to enjoy the life in italy!
La dolce vita!

most probably you won’t remember me, but let me tell you who I am. I am Italian, and I was in Singapore Sunday Dec 21, when you had the lunch celebration of your wedding at the void deck of your place in Jurong.
My girlfriend lives in the same building, and we met briefly on Sat afternoon with you and Roberto when your dad brought us up to your floor. Not sure if you remember that either, I’m sure you met a lot of persons those few days around your wedding ceremony.

Now I am back to Italy and I live in a place which would make you love Rome’s weather. The place is called Cuneo, up in north-west, near the french border, and we got heaps of snow around here… Last week we had -8 in the morning. Guess in Rome you won’t even reach 0, right? By the way, I also have some cousins living in Rome, and every now and then I go there to say hallo.

Anyway, welcome to Italy, Marina!! I understand that you are complaining about the weather. My girlfriend has been here a few times during the winter break, and she can’t simply get used to such a harsh climate!! ;) Too cold for a Singaporean used to have 28° to 32° all year round!

If you have an email address where I can write to, I’d like to send you a few pictures that I took during the Sunday celebration. Surely you will have already a lot, taken by pro-photographers, but some more might be nice to have too.

How’s your Italian going? Hope you will pick up quickly some conversation skills.

Say hello to Roberto from me, take care and enjoy cold Italy. It will get better with springtime and, by summer, in Rome, you won’t miss Singapore climate anymore!!

ciao,
Ferdinando

Belated congratulations and best wishes to you and cart on your wedding. May you both be happy forever after.

Thank you so much :) I will try my best to adapt here. Maybe take it as a challenge maybe?

Regardless, I still do miss Singapore though, there are so many things that is to miss about it.

Hema larling! Italy and Singapore has a -7 hour difference. So when I just woke up, its afternoon for you and when its afternoon for me, its time for you to sleep :)

Eka

Thats Cart’s nephew and his grandmother – the whole family was there in Singapore during the wedding :)

And how can I help you when YOUR Italian is better then mine?! :P

Elaine

The thing is, there are a number of people that I know of around me that are sick too … it must be the season :D

Cart and I are looking around at websites for the Italian courses for foreigners as well as the town administration one. I have heard of their reputation as not being too good, but I think that its a good stepping stone while being affordable at the same time.

Tomorrow :P
