Daily photo challenge – All-time Favourites
Today it is kind of melodramatic for me as I bid farewell to the weekly Daily Post’s Photo Challenge. I joined this photo challenge since last year and it had been a wonderful journey for me. It gave me the opportunity to learn from other bloggers, connecting with them and also showcasing my visual stories to others. With all the likes and encouraging comments, it gave me the confidence to tell my adventures and find my voice. Every week, I had waited patiently for the day for the Daily Post’s editor to announce the new photo challenge’s theme for the week. Now that it has come to an end, I…

A Twist In Ice Cream In Japan
When in Japan, the most tried street food I had eaten was… the ICE CREAM. It was winter when I visited the lovely Osaka and Kyoto. However, the weather did not deter me from eating the soft creamy ice cream that I could see practically everywhere I go. Be it in a restaurant or street hawker store, ice creams were enjoyed by the old and the young. So here, I want to show you the photo that I had taken when I was in Kyoto. The vanilla ice cream in the cone was sweet and delicious. One bite and it just melted inside my mouth. The twisted soft ice cream that…

The fluid Montjuic Magic Fountain
Before visiting Barcelona, I did research on must-visit places and Montjuic Magic Fountain was one of them. On certain days, the fountain would come to live with its music and lights choreography that would capture everyone’s attention. My travel partner and I had waited for musical fountain show on one of the weekends. Not too long, people were gathering at the stairways and pathways near the fountain waiting for its live action to start. Not even the cold night with the chilling wind blowing could stop the crowd to group together for this. Once the show started, the chattering among the crowd softened and the infectious music from the loudspeakers brought the…

Soundproof Your Home
Do you like to sleep in a room where every once in a few minutes you can hear the thunderous tolling of buses passing by? Have you ever experienced watching a tv shows like Game of Thrones when you need to turn up the volume to be able to hear what is Daenerys talking about? Have you tried to ignore the abrupt roaring motorbikes sound while concentrating on solving a 12-year-old math question that looks like a Mensa IQ test? Do you like to hear the rhythmic pounding of the nearby road constructions when you are trying to get the baby to sleep? That’s where the soundproof windows come in. Living in…

Beautiful Lines In City Of Arts And Sciences Valencia
Most of my travel photos involved a lot of architectural buildings and structures because I tend to visit cities instead of nature. So when it comes to lines, my immediate thoughts are those imposing and amazing architectural structures I have come across. One of those structures that fit this description is none other than the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia Spain. This modern architectural masterpiece is considered as one of the 12 Treasures in Spain. All the buildings have rows of lines that interconnecting or supporting each other. When you look from the outside of the buildings, the supporting beams and columns are lines, just like uniform soldiers…

The Prolific Sculptor and Architect From Italy – Bernini
As I was writing about my travel stories in Italy, I saw that a lot of times, Gian Lorenzo Bernini‘s amazing sculptures and architectural buildings were captured in photos. This famous Italian artist created a lot of beautiful masterpieces such as marble sculptures and paintings which are currently stored in galleries and museums. Besides that, he had designed churches and chapels that are still used by churchgoers, not to mention the elaborate public fountains and funerary monuments. Bernini started his career under his father and gradually gained a name for himself. His Baroque’s style works had made him one of the worthy successor of Michelangelo for his generation. Let me…

A Happy Smile Meal In A Cafe
Last month, we were introduced by a family member to have a brunch in this modern cafe called Take Eat Easy Cafe, which is tugged at a corner of an office building. The exterior of the cafe is simple, dark glass doors with steely door bars, a brown awning stating that it has baked goods, pastry, sandwich, pizza, salad, waffle, ice-cream and coffee. The interior is dark too but with a luxurious feel. Velvet lounge chairs that are arranged near the glass windows are as tall as my shoulders, heavy drape curtains, brown colour checkered ceilings filled with hanging lamps, wooden dark brown tables and wooden dividers to separate the…

The Beauty Of Sunrise And Sunset
Going through my photos, I realised that I took a lot of sunset photos wherever I went. One, it shows that I am not a morning person. And two, it also shows the vibrant colours that follow the sun. The surrounding turns into a golden hue and water changes from blue to a darker shade to reflect the changing mood. Places turn quieter and the crowds are slowly dissipating. The moon is peeking from the horizon and can’t wait to show off its gentle calm side opposite the fiery blazing sun. Words just cannot express fully how beautiful the sunrise and sunset are. So let me tell you how alluring…

Favourite Place – Florence Duomo
These few days I have been looking at my Italy trip’s photos for my Italy blog post. Going through all those pictures just like walking down memory lane, all the fond memories of the trip hit me like tidal waves. Among the places I visited in Italy, Florence Duomo is my favourite. The Duomo was very tall which made me look tiny and insignificant. The colourful exterior of the building and the orangish dome gave out good feeling vibes. But what I like the most is climbing to the top of the Duomo and looking down at the magnificent Florence city. The view just blew my mind. Here are the photos…

I’d rather be…having a vacation by the sea
Living in a city state, there is always the hustling and bustling of traffic and people. Space is limited and noise is inevitable. It represents speed and efficiency. However, it also creates stress and anxiety. So, to escape all these, I’d rather be near the sea, soaking my feet in a pool or sand and watch the sun goes up and down in a slow fashion. Listening to the splash of waves, watching the tides changing its level, observing the ripples on the water surface, smelling the salty air that blown towards my face and having light kisses from the gentle breeze. A vacation near the sea is where I’rather…
