I wish i wish i wish...

... i paid more attention during Mrs. Quek's Social Studies lessons, especially the chapters on Venice. You know, i've been to so many beautiful places in Europe and it's such a shame that i know so little about the history of these places. It's as if there's a hole missing somewhere in my heart.

I look at all the photographs of these places and it's just so beautiful, i wonder why i didn't heed my uncle's advice to read up on the history of these places before i went. Especially for Italy and France, both such beautiful countries ... like literally bursting with history and culture. There is no time for regrets is there? But in the next two years, i promise i'll read up on those countries that i'm going to before leaving. Or do you realize what you've missed out on only after seeing that such beauty actually exists and you're fortunate enough to have been there?

I will also try to take nicer pictures, i'm so horrible at these! ie, less focus on people, and more on the background.
