After close to a week in Taunton, HB drove us to Wembley in London. We chose to go to Wembley as my aunt lives there and we wanted to visit her. I had also wanted to restock my Asian food supplies; abundant in Wembley! Funnily enough, I have less than ten pictures of Wembley as we spent [...]

I’ve decided to write about our trip to UK in several installments, simply because there are too many pictures.
My UK posts will therefore be divided into three:
- Taunton, Somerset
- Wembley, London
- Cardiff, Wales
We landed in Heathrow, and HB drove from Heathrow to Taunton, Somerset, some supposedly 4 hours away. The drive was a looooong one and [...]

Yes, as corny as it sounds, I’m off for my long-needed break in London. Will not have Net access I reckon, thus updates will resume only when I get back second week of October.
I’ve got so much to blog about though; updates on the new house, more food and our little trip to a nearby [...]

We got back from Milan late last night. Although I thought I wouldn’t enjoy Milan all that much, I actually did. It was a lot more vibrant than I thought it would be, and somehow reminded me a little of Oxford Street in London and along the street of Champs Elysees in Paris. Except with a [...]

Ok, ok, I know I’ve been MIA for some time. I’m really sorry. HB and I are working on a secret project, “Project H”, and we’ve been quite tied up with that lately. It requires a lot of research, homework and going out of the house. When the time is right, I will reveal Project [...]

So I got an email in my inbox today, announcing that AirAsia is starting its flights to London. And of course I got all ape-excited. I even sent an offline message to my aunt in London, asking her to check it out, coz they go back to Malaysia on a regular basis.
I tried clicking away, [...]

After our hearty lunch in Vernazza, we continued our trek to village #3, Corniglia. It started to drizzle a little, but it wasn’t too bad. This time around, the trail was relatively easier. There were still some majorly steep steps to conquer, but they were not half as difficult as the trek from Monterosso.
There were [...]
Cinque Terre, Prima Parte

I am sprawled on the sofa as I write this. My entire body is aching like it never has. My calves are sore, my thighs are sore, and I have to walk with a weird gait no thanks to my stressed out limbs. Why?
It is because of the trip we had yesterday. The 12km hiking+walking+climbing+struggling [...]

The title says it all. It is a place filled with wonderment. It seems to house secrets that only the ancient walls and streets seem to know. It is indeed a legendary romantic destination. We wandered through the maze of bridges and streets; backroads included, and it always seemed to surprise me that somehow we [...]
