I made a wish at Trevi di Fontana

The first time I fell in love with it was because of a movie,
the movie is called The Cinderella Story I think, by Hilary Duff.
At that time I told myself, I am going there someday.
I made it finally.

KL to Dubai - 5 + hours. Dubai transit- 4 hours! Dubai to Rome - 6 + hours. Torturous.

This is what a stack of RM10,000+ turned into. A thin stack of Euros. +.+

The bridge that links Rome and the Vatican City.

St Peter's Basilica. Look at those carvings!

Photo taken by my sis, she chopped off my feet!

This is just a tiny part of the basilica. They called it basilica for a reason.

Yes, it was filled with tourists! Look at the line!


The Swiss Guards. Somehow their uniform looked weird, it was designed by Michelangelo.

The Colosseum, I need a wide lens to take a full picture of it! Argh.

The tiny shop just outside of the Colosseum, Panini con Prosciutto!

Aiyo, daddy blocking my background.

The arch of Constantine.

Trevi di Fontana! One dream down and more to go.

I found this in Google:
There is a Roman legend,
bound to this old fountain,
that if you throw a coin in,
you'll oblige the destiny,
to let you return here.

I threw a 0.10 ringgit coin in, wonder the fountain can recognizes Malaysia Ringgit?
I will return to Rome someday. I know I will.

Yes, filled with tourists! All my pictures have "add ons". Still, the background is amazing.

Gelato! One of the things I miss about Italy. It was lovely. The gelato is almost as good as Gelatissimo, the only difference is a cute Italian guy is scooping my gelato. Tehee. That's my sis at the back btw, enjoying her hazelnut gelato.

BLACK spaghetti! I saw it for the first time in my life. Made out of cuttle fish ink, wonder how it would taste like? Anybody interested? I bought a packet of these.

p/s: One down and more to go! I still have Florence, Verona, Venice, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Vienna and Fussen! So many LARHHHH. Hope I am not lazy.
p/p/s: I wish my birthday wish would come true. Only partially came true for now. @.@

The Bali Escapade

Minimal words, only pictures.

Kuta Seaview Boutique Resort & Spa

Uluwatu Temple

Turtle Island, Nusa Dua

Offerings for the God

Tegallalang rice terraces, Ubud

Kuta beach, the cheapest manicure I had in my life!

Our passports - Malaysia, Yemen & China.
Denpansar, Bali

A good snapshot stops a moment from running away.

Quite true eh?

p/s: Flying off to Austria & Italy this Friday! Omigosh, can't wait to taste the cold, the culture, the food and the people!

Have you ever....

stick your nose close to the window of the plane,
look right down,
and imagine yourself sky diving?



I did. And I want to do it.



p/s: Just got back from Bali a couple of hours ago! Gonna have a post about it, hopefully. Just hopefully.

Questions,

Not all are meant to be asked.
As fear refrained me from doing so.
I chose to ignore.

Ignorance is bliss.

10 Things I did during 2010

I know it's late, but better than never right?
10 things I did in 2010, I am gonna remember it for a very long long time.

#1 Being a certified Lifeguard

I'm an Ellis & Associates Lifeguard! Got my training and exams completed in Schlitterbahn. Pretty new stuff for me, but I got a hang of it. Interesting I must say.


#2 Had the worst tan of my life

When I was working, I was mistaken as Mexican initially. Then it was Philliphino and Hawaiian! Never a Chinese, thanks to the sun in Texas! When I got back, my friends called me Jamaican. The consequences was awful, but the experience was worth it.

#3 Got my very first DSLR

Oh yeah! Canon EOS 60D! An awesome DSLR. Thanks to daddykins. =)

#4 Traveling in USA



In the midst of our working period, we went places around Texas like San Antonio, Austin, Houston and Galveston. After 3 months of working in Schlitterbahn, we went traveling. That's the best part of the whole Work & Travel! We started off with San Francisco, then Los Angeles, Grand Canyon and Las Vegas! The most amazing 3 weeks I had.


#5 First paycheck from a REAL job

Working for dad doesn't counts kay! This is my first hard-earned money, which results in high melanin in the skin, sun burn and awesome fun. It was $187.50 for working two days. Oh yeahhh! Can't get that kind of job in Malaysia. Tehee.

# 6 Made a couple of awesome friends, maintain some

One of the awesome-est thing happened to me in US. They come from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Malaysia! Quite international eh? They are my family and dorm mates for 3 months. =) Missing you people truckloads!

Need me to say much? As always and will always be.

#7 Turkey

I never expect so much from Turkey. The Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, the Cotton Castle, the Bosphorus Bridge and so much more. Well, I didn't get to go for the hot air balloon in Cappadoccia because of the bad weather, but I get to see snow! A lovely vacation I must say.

#8 Taiwan


My last stop after US was Taiwan. The first thought of Taiwan? FOOD! I went to the night market almost everyday when I was in Taiwan. Chow Taufu, Pearl tea, Ooh Jian and Fried Chicken Chop! Another month in Taiwan would mean buying two seats for my return flight! We meet up with a couple of friends we made in US, thanks for being our tour guides!

#9 Fashion with Passion

It may not be the best fashion show, but we tried our best! From the models and crew recruitment, searching for designers, having Marriot Hotel to say yes and bla bla bla. It's difficult, but we made it. Oh yeah.

#10 Bloggie
Created my blog. And yes, it's dying, trying to save it. Peace. : )

That sums up my year! I had a great year and 2011 is just going to be better.
Laugh as much as you breathe, love as much as you live!



p/s: Just finished my Business Law A, hope to get good marks. *Fingers crossed*
