on my birthday

dear all,

the 28 september just come and go like the migration birds that visits once a year. i used to celebrate it each year, well i try to organize something among my friends and family for a small gathering. back in high school, me and my best friends who are now gonna be lawyers, dentist and pharmacists soon! we celebrate our birthdays at little italy in kk. because i used to date one of the waiter working there and we got ourselves FREE birthday cake each year. haha! i miss them the ppl at little italy! always wave hello whenever i see them :)

this year... im keeping it quiet, i wanna to just forget that its my birthday. but all the birthday wishes keeps filling into my facebook walls, it was unstopable!! hey, it was very sweet of everyone to do that. thank you so much. so how did i spent my birthday? simply just being at home, revising my italian language and chatting with shen all night long. that's how i celebrated it :) my cousins and her friends invited me to go partying, but i just didn't feel like celebrating at all. its just one of those phase you have in life. u know that phase where you just want to be alone? well i am in the phase right now...

to see myself being happy, i just close my eyes and imagine all the happy things in my life, in the past and my future... i close my eyes, that is when i can see how it all happen...

happy birthday to me once again :)

love,
stella matilda

Random Post

cant believe my twin sister is married! hahaha yea this is hilary duff and apparently we are sharing the same birth date :) always been a fan of hilary duff. she got married last month, at 22 years old! hilary's wedding dress is by vera wang (which is also my all time favorite wedding dress fashion designer!) she looks so stunning. i love how this dress made her look so classy and royalty like. gosh vera wang is just simply awesome!

this is so weird, i have always imagine my wedding to look like this. i guess me and hilary got same taste in our dream wedding! i wanted my wedding to look like its in a garden, and before the receiption, all guest will attend a quick 'down-the-aisle' session. so i will walk down the aisle twice, one is in the church and second is during the receiption. this is just so lovely.... sniff sniff..

i love everything about this photo! u see the setting, how the candle like lights hanging from the ceiling, that's exactly what i had in mind. it gives a very fairy tale touch to it and with lots of greens and flowers makes the room very refreshing. even the lights are crafted in roses!!! :)


hmmm... her cake looks funny... i dont like the roses... the roses looks like its being sandwich-ed by the layer of carbs! but i like that she didnt have the stupid ugly statue on top of the cake. it just ruin the picture LOL!

can't wait to get married too! eeee!!!! it's gonna be LEGENDARY! ahahahaha OMG i sound so funny when i say that... im gonna say it again... it's gonna be.... L-E-G-E-N-D-A-R-Y! HA! HA! HA! but first, i need to pick the right man! anyone wanna sign up for an interview? LOL

Places and Photographs ( Breather Trip No.1)

me and phoebe spending some vain time alone in the toilet of our ferry, the pride of canterbury leaving uk to france
first of all, i'd like to say thank u all for being part of my life... we may not know each other personally, but i know u have been reading my blog from time to time and u know it's getting interesting :) since i left malaysia, i received alot of envy comments from my friends telling me how lucky i am to be on this trip... i guess i am lucky in a way, but pls dont be envy instead be happy for me please... u must know that i look at this trip more of a life saver for me than a holiday... when they ask what the hell am i doing in europe for so long, i tell them i need a break, a breather... that was it, its not a holiday. this trip is really NOT a holiday. i got some personal issue going on which i need some time and space just to deal with myself, and this is it...


delicious sausage in the ferry
food in europe is definately interesting, u get tastier sausages, beer and even the guys looks so hot! (pls note that there are ugly guys too) i have to admit that during this entire trip, me and phoebe came up with this stupid idea, well its more of my idea haahahaha, we call it the 'scanning'. it means time to cuci mata. so what we do was we will alert each other whenever there's a hot hunk closeby, and we could rate them out of 10 and give a little comment abt his sense of fashion, attractiveness, height, hair and eyes. and sometimes, if that hot hunk has a girlfriend, we would also rate the girlfriend. hahaha it was a lot of fun to be honest.

enjoying the fresh cold breeze, mcm titanic kunun...

everywhere we go, i was blow away with the sceneries. its just hard for me to describe it, this isn't like a food or a man u can easily explain in a few sentence. these sceneries are like God's wonders which you cannot explain in any other way but experience it yourself.

peaceful for a prayer in the first church i visit in europe, this is in belgium


my plan was to visit all the churches in every places i go and send my prayers. my mom said if i pray in a church that i never been before, my prayers are easily heard by the heavens, therefore it reaches God faster. Its funny, its like each church has its angel taking care of it, therefore me being new as a tourist probably got this angel all excited to see me, so this angel quickly take note of my prayers and telling God i came all the way to visit so i deserve a sign or answer for my prayers. well is that how it work? i dont know because 3 days later, one of the thing i prayed for kinda being answered... freaking as it sounds, but i think this is how it work. btw, i prayed for many people which i care about in my life....

lighting up candles in the church


these candles were suppose to be given to our love ones that passed on... i light up a few... for my brother and my grandmother... its quite sad... almost cried in there, but i manage to control my sensitive eyes...

the waffles and pee pee of belgium


apparently tin tin is from belgium too. u know that cartoon with the scottish pet dog. anyways, we were at brussels, it was fun, i ate so much during this trip, i gain a few kgs here n there... i had so much fun. i love the streets, the people, the food... it was amazing!

in the central of amsterdam


my to-do list in amsterdam didn't quite appear the way i wanted it to be. cus we travel in a group and none of them know anything about space cake... and because i am a good girl after all, i cant be bother to pollute these people what is already deadly illegal in malaysia. so i just explain what it does to you and how you can be hung to dead if u are caught with this special... um... special herbs?

the wind is sexy in holland with the windmill



i love this place, i want to live here for the rest of my life! um... maybe just the weekend la since no place to shop ni... there's about 20 windmill altogether at this area where i'm at. its just breath-taking, the wind was just right, it was sunny and cooling at the same time. i just love it, and my boots from next looks so hot in this picture hahahahaha

then we were are luxembourg
luxembourg was just our stop for lunch check point on the way to germany, we didnt really see much here to be honest, our schedule was crazy! not much story here....

checking out a group of hot hunks in munich, germany
ahhh what can i say, there's no place like a place that is filled with handsome looking muscular guys that actually love being starred and stalked at... hahahaha these guys looks like from a football club or something cus we kinda saw their coaches telling them do this do that. its sooooo cute because the guys were waving goodbye at me when they leave, maybe they also think im hot? asians ARE HOT! especially the campur campur ones like meh nyehehehehe :P i tengah nak boost my self-esteem kejap ya....

fresh brew beer in germany
whole my life. WHOLE MY LIFE i hated beer. i just hated the taste of it. it tasted horrible. i dont understand how some of my friends love it or my dad too. it is just so hard to drink. so rough and bitter. BUT - all of these were the opposite when i drank beer in europe. it tasted different! beer in europe was so smooth, not as much gas as u get in malaysia, it was so easy to drink and u get tipsy faster even with one glass of beer. i think the beer we get in malaysia has got too much preservative and gas, and my taste bud just cannot accept it. however, i love beer in europe. love it to the max!

another beer session which was sooo satisfying after a long exhausting trip


with the girls in a restaurant in germany
the icy mt. titlis in switzerland
always wanted to see snow, but it wasn't snowing in switzerland, it was just ais kacang on top of a mountain, literally! i feel blardly cheated! anyways, i couldnt do much, cus i felt like vomitting seing all white for too long. so i went back in and had myself lunch, which was the most expensive lunch... traveling tips: bring ur own lunch to mt. titlis hahaha

that rock was my boyfriend for a while up there lol

this is austria, innbruck
a nice small country with many beautiful things to look at. there's a garden in the city and there was a pond with the princess and the frog. i thought that was so sweet. making this town even more magical than it already is. they even have a big chess set for public to entertain themselves, which clearly in my picture is a bunch of old man playing the chess set... gosh did i jus call them old? i mean senior people... sigh

inside the biggest swarovski shop in the world, which is in austria
gosh i wish i had taken more photos to show u, but i was too busy being mesmerized by all that sparkly little thingy in the shop. the shop was huge and wherever you turn was just bling bling bling!

my favorite spot of all times in rome, just beside the spanish steps

i call it Bella Roma, the beautiful Rome. each time i go to rome, its like coming home again. the locals always says that if we throw a coin into the fountain, we will return again for another visit. it suppose to be magical. something in every little town want to believe or to make something out of nothing. and i always believe in fairy tales, dreams, my weird preminitions and stupid hearings and seeings... i am sensitive to the midde world we're living in, so mind me if i tell you that u have an angel watching you right now and they are talking to me... then again it cud be anything......

his name was tommy, he was the captain of our boat in venice and apparently he fell in love with me and wants me to be with him
ok calm down everyone. seriously.... remember, we are in italy. people here are very very friendly and indeed super friendly. sometimes they are too friendly. which i really like. it makes u want to stay even longer and be in this little world of love dovey in italy. of course i took what he said was just compliment. at the beginning his friend said, "tom must take picture with the star". i was like... the star? that's actually the meaning of my name! it was freaky cus i didnt told them what my name was yet. so it was abit freaky to me... in fact, alot of other freaky things happened along the way of my entire trip... signs after signs... seriously...

enjoying the strange experience on a gondola ride in the gloomy town of venice
i was sitting next to a girl on a gondola... is this normal? i should be with a hot handsome man which i can hold hands with and share saliva transmitting leftovers from breakfast. well, it was still alot of fun sitting on the gondola with my crazy bunch of friends. had a laugh about how handsome our gondolier is compared to our other group of friends hahaha... its true, we had the most good looking gondolier in this town!
one thing about venice you must know. that this is not the most romantic town in the world. dont get fooled by commercials with their fancy words telling you about how beautiful the gondola ride, and how the gondolier would sing as he gondoling you and your sweetheart through the back route of every people's shops and houses because thats the only routes that has water to let the gondoliers do their job. the truth is, venice just looks very gloomy. it looks like venice is having a major heartbreak and been crying for the past few years. it rains so much and its gloomy all the time. it was just the opposite of romantic.
the buildings were filled with these green looking thingy caused by the water. some the places smells because of the water. oh and our handsome gondolier didn't sing to us during our ride. i also realise that these days, they dont really sing anymore. other gondolier brought audio player and played it instead of singing it live too. i guess things has changed. and i came to venice on the wrong time. she's just not feeling happy at all...
this is where the magic begin.. the holy lights, sacred place, blessed holy water in the st. peter's basillica, the vatican city
so happy to come back to this place again.... for many many reasons....

pisa tower and no i didnt do any stupid pose like trying to hold the tower from falling down...

on a ferry ride around paris with the eiffel tower behind me

gosh... such a terrifying day i had in paris... on my previous post, i had mentioned what happened during my visit to eiffel tower. it was crazy. there was a bomb treat and basically i was scared shit. but i was in control and i followed my instincts which is to get to my bus as soon as possible and get the hell out from there.

with master chef in disneyland, france.. hmmm he looks bigger than in tv... im scared... LOL
its weird, i always wanted to visit disneyland. i mean... disney has been part of my life as i was growing up... my favorite character was sleeping beauty. i always want to be kissed in my sleep and waking up to my prince charming eehehehhe.... yea la tu.... mimpi jerr! disneyland in france isnt the best disneyland in the world apparently. i cant remember someone said disneyland in america is better... well i guess so because disney is from an american man whose name was disney and he was the one started drawing mickey mouse...
i had sooooo much fun. i was alone in disneyland. now now, its not sad at all. i actually had a blast. i went on the roller coaster with aerosmith rock music as the background out loud for 5 times! it was amazing! i went on to most of the adult rides and skipped the kiddies rides... duh.... i actually wanted to try the kiddy rides, but it would be funny because the kiddy rides where ALL mommies and their little babies! there are 3 types of crowd in disneyland. first, to the obvious are family crowd, the parents and young spoilt brads wearing princess clothing and boys holding their toys story TOYS. then you get couple... yes alot of them... holding hands, going on rides together and PDA-ing transmitting germs. then last type of crowd is basically me :) the alone group hhahahahahaha...
its sooo funny, cus as i was going on the rides on my own, i keep bumping into this same guy who was going on the rides alone too... hahaha for once i thought he was stalking me, but then the 3rd ride, he wasnt there nemore... phew!
so this is it, my 1st trip with a brief short story of my trip. there are so much more that i want to share... but if i do that, its going to be a very long post. my next breather trip is just around the corner. i am going to ireland :)
until next time
hugs and kisses

Stella's Home Cook Carbonara

i have always enjoy cooking, especially cooking for others. if i have money, an italian restaurant would be on my mind. i learned to cook the basic carbonara from my ex-boyfriend Andrew from Scotland and i made this carbonara my own ever since. Shen tasted my home cook food the most. Recently i cooked for my cousin's family here, and my aunt love the carbonara i cook the first time, i decided to cook again today. and also since my cousin said it was a really good carbonara, i thought i'll share how i got it done. even shen said it was good. i cant wait to cook this for my family when i go home :)

ingredients - onions, mushrooms, bacon, spegethi, eggs, single cream, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and LOVE :)

carbonara is an all time favorite food for all italian food lovers. i would say that a good carbonara is not easily found. i have been to many italian restaurants and only a couple actually served an excellent carbonara or at least a decent one. so firstly, i like my carbonara with more flavour to it, i chopped up some big ass sweet onions. because this onion is so blardly fresh, it got my crying as i was chopping them. tears rolling down my face, aint that sweet!


not all carbonara is done the way i would do it. but i know most places uses mushrooms into the carbonara and so i do the same. these chestnut button mushrooms i got from sainsbury is super duper fresh. it feels like they just pluck them from the farm this morning, in fact they probably did, and it looks so good to eat them.


there is no carbonara without its delicious mouth watering smoked beef bacon. i choose to use smoked beef bacon because i can get more flavour to it. gosh i sound like jamie oliver now hahahaha anyways... yes then we chop them into small redtangular shapes. soak the bacon in 2 table spoon of olive oil and sprinkle with some salt and peppers for the bacon's flavour to come out. mix them out evenly.

the climax of a carbonara is the sauce - making the right sauce is the most important part of this preparation. okay, you need 3 egg yolks and one egg - mix them up until a little bubble comes up. then add the single cream about 150ml (double cream is also recomended for more flavour, but means more fats) then add the parmesan cheese, make sure you get the parmesan cheese in power form because it's easier to mix them together. so once you got them all together, just stirr them slowly and make sure everthing goes together until it's smooth.

the cooking part - firstly, we cook the sweet onions with a little butter, let it sweat for about 10 minutes then add your lovely mushrooms. oh by this point, you can smell how good this will turn out to be. cook the mushroom with the onions for about 7 minutes until the mushroom is soften.

then we slow pan cook the bacon in the same remaining oil left from the onion and the mushroom. it helps bringing the bacon most of its flavoring out. make sure when you cook the bacon, you keep the slices from not sticking to each other, because it happens most of the time and you get 4-5 slices sticking to each other and it gets a bit hard to separate them when its cooked.

your spegethi - simply just cook them in boiling water for 7 minutes. add some olive oil and a little salt for flavour. make sure you dont over cook the spegethi because an over cook spegethi will taste horrible.

for starters - i made a healthy salad with the main course. so i use this mozzarella and chop them into small pieces adding them to my fresh lettuce salad. this is one of my favorite cheese :) i love cheese!

you can basically add anything to your salad, but mine i'd like to put some smoked salmon trimmings. this not only give my salad a complete chart of healthly starter, but it gives some colours to my green looking food haha. i'm such a lame chef LOL

i'm not perfect, but i'm so close that it scares me! i make sure each meal i prepare not only looks good, but it has to taste good. i think i would be quite an awesome chef actually :) well... if all else fails for a good paying job, i'll just come to italy and work as a chef hahaha

the finishing part - putting the sauce into a big bowl (its for mixing everything), then drain your spegethi but not too dry cause we need to keep them moist, then put them into the bowl. slowly mix the sauce and the spegethi together. finally, we put the mushroom, onion and bacon all together like one big happy family.

congratulations, you have just learn how to make Stella's Home Cook Carbonara! Enjoy :)
PS: A Delicious Food is Cooked with Passion, not Ingredients

have a pleasant evening missy

took the underground to covent garden, it was about an hour ride from terminal 5 (that's where i live, near heathrow airport). i was overwhelm with the amount of crowd in london. i forget london is always up to something 24/7 and it will only be weird if london is never a busy city.


settled down to our restaurant, its called the Sarastro Restaurant. Ok, so what's so special about this place beside its already beautiful homely garden outside welcoming passer-by and customers? well... the interior inside this restaurant is definately something you haven't seen in malaysia! the idea of this restaurant - homely yet with colourful warm artistic interior, some good looking waiter but foreign. they only serve set menu at the price of approximately 30 pounds for 3 courses meal.... and their very porno looking toilet! i'll explain that later...

every thursday, this man in this picture here... yes in the one i am holding and that man singing in the background, they are the same person... his name is Colin Roy and he comes over with his exquisite and charismatic appearance... I was blow away by his voice! He made me feel like falling in love with somebody again. not that i am sad with my life being alone up in this cold autumn depression season of the year BUT his voice... it was amazing. he cover songs like frank sinatra, michael buble, the drifters, lionel ritchie, dean martin and many more. When he sings, i feel so much soul coming into me...



and when its time to dance, they DANCE! Colin tried to pull me into the dance floor to join the rest of them dancing, but i seriously cant do it.... i was shy shy la.... hahahaha but HELL, the STELLA MATILDA i know DANCES LIKE A ROCK STAR WEIIII!!!! Issshhh Ok the porno looking toilet...basically, i should say its artistic, cus it was hand painted of naked man and woman making love.... some of the art were like 3 some... i am a malaysian and this aint normal for me, so i was abit shock to see those arts in front of me as i was peeing... OK still weird to even trying to describe these porno looking toilet, so lets just leave it there LOL


this is my main course, its grilled salmon... i used to cook this for shen :) i think mine taste alot better heheeh

ok let me introduce to you the homeys in london, from left ahhh... my cousin vivien and my cousin's friends - curtis the birthday boy, caselle (i love her exotic features!), hannah (she is just so lovely n fun!) and myself.

Today i actually went down to central london with my cousin to do some shopping... and it was exhausting. boy did london just made me hate shopping for once in my life.... now seriously. it takes so much energy, i mean, the crowd, the amount of people, that is just ridicilous! i totally forgot how crazy london central is. the last time i was there was 3 years ago, and i remembered telling myself, shit i am tired for a million times. walk and walk and walk... and to be honestly, this is a good exercise for fat people like me. i should take up shopping as my daily job hahahaha naa just kidding, that's just me being stupid for a second there.

i bought some vintage looking work clothes its really pretty, cant wait to wear it to work... when i start work next year... heheheeh i also bought clothes from top shop... O-M-G.... TOPSHOP in Oxford Circus. Okay, imagine the size of Center Point in KK ya, that whole shopping mall in Center Point - That is the size of Top Shop in Oxford Circus in London. Giler tho... ok for orang di KL, imagine ermmmm.... Bangsar Shopping Center la... that is the size of Top Shop, about 3-4 storey of clothes from denim jeans, breath-taking vintage dresses, sparkly looking night out clothes, warm fashionable jackets, to die for heels and omg... more heels! and it will just make you go GAGA. damn top shop definately got me at HELLO. i think the only thing i wanna bring back from my trip is this big ass topshop in the world to malaysia, and of course my italian language which i will conquer at my trip to the school in milan :)

u know... this trip made me a whole load different person. i see things differently now, more of an adult, looking into the better part of my future. i have done alot of things which many would think its a waste of time, but i am proud to say that i am doing just fine. nobody is perfect, and that's a fact. previously kk got me freakingly depressed but lets not go into that cus i just don't want to remind myself that pain i had to go tru again. life as we know it - unfair. that's all you need to know.

tomorrow is gonna be another pleasant evening, so lets get the heater on cause it's gonna be a cold night ahead here in london. until next time love~

kisses and hugs

lost of words

i
am
lost
of
words



i don't know what to say... too many things happen in such a little time, one after the other... i have this large amount of variety of feelings like orbits around the path of my planet just waiting for me to peek at them with my telescope.

and whenever i do, that one particular familiar planet from out of space will look back at me, waving hello and asking me to come visit. this orbit whose first name is "Wassup" and last name is "Depression" doesn't look that interesting at all, yet somehow keeps appearing on my telescope.

counting on my instincts, counting on God, counting on my prayers and also counting my money (spend it wisely woman!) i decided to study italian in milan soon. yes i shall come home with a new language and i shall speak italian to you and annoy you.

because my other frequent visitor known as Miss Homey called up quite often, so i decided to pay her a visit once in a while. after a few visit, i got around in changing my flight, so i will be coming back malaysia 3 weeks earlier and actually i will be home for christmas.

i-am-lost of words, however i manage to tell you something. this is a great start :)

I am still here...


Today i have to write my blog because something unusual happened.


I was at Eiffel Tower wasting some time, taking photos and taking more more photos. As I was heading back to the bus where we suppose to be, crowd starting to pile up, there were tons of police hovering people to go cross the road, basically pushing everyone out from eiffel tower. I had to get across to eiffel tower because my bus is behind the tower. Police block the entire gateway to go across.



With panic, confused, nobody wanna explain, or should i say nobody understand what the duck i am talking about because all of them were French. If there were tons of police and hearing the ambulance behind my ears... what else could it be? Bomb treats? Duhh... it was...



Emergency evacuation was running right in front of me. I was part of it. If i stood close to where the ambulance are, you could probably see me on the World Newspaper highlights or CNN News headlines. At that moment, it was 8.30pm, and by this time, the Eiffel Tower would all be light up with sparkling lights to impress people what Paris is made of BUT- it didn't light up, which indicates... "something is wrong". They called Paris the City of Lights and Romance, therefore Eiffel Tower is the climax and hallmark of everything about France.



Back to the havoc situation. I ran across the park in time before the police could catch me to evacuate the park too.. i just need to get to my bus. Because the bus will leave at 8.30pm so have to get in time else I might have to take the train and cab to my hotel which is 1 hour away and would take up my expenses.



I could hear police siren, ambulance and I could see a whole load of people from the top of the tower walking down quickly.



All i could think is that, what if the tower actually blown up to pieces? Why am i still standing 7 feet away from this place? I should be far far away... I don't want to end up in the statistic of the victims of a bomb treat in Paris. Not tonight, not now. I have a long life and I want to live it.



I made it to my bus safe and sound... Catching my breath and have a last glance behind me...



The news has revealed... "Eiffel Tower evacuated after bomb alert"



Here's something what the news has to say...




Police evacuated some 2,000 people from the Eiffel Tower and the park surrounding the Paris landmark on Tuesday following a bomb alert, the police said.


"The company managing the Eiffel Tower received an anonymoustelephone call around 8:20 pm (1820 GMT)," a Paris police official told AFP.


"Special units, one with sniffer dogs, went to the site to search the Eiffel Tower floor by floor," the official said.


"Around 2,000 people were evacuated."

Nothing better to do...So lets!

sitting at a bench, really... life is soooo tough just sitting on this bench with nice cooling breeze for the end of summer 2010 in london... well windsor castle outside to be exact...
Day 2 was just a slow slow day
Day 3 Today like right now... 6.35pm here, just got back from Slough, Windsor and Saintsbury. Slough is basically another small town nearby, went there because they have this big ass Primark shop. Primark is basically kedai jual baju, quality is sama macam topshop but they sell like super duper cheap! Like a basic baju t shirt yg can pakai with leggings is only for RM7 whereas topshop would be RM25... its all about branding i know... but for basics, primark is still my number one choice. So i bought some tops, socks and leggings (need more of these due to cold weather)
Then where else we go.... then we went to Windsor to see castle... I have been to this castle before during my visit in 2007... this is my second time here, so not that interested to see it, but since i have nothing better to do until this friday, so why not la... After see castle we went jalan jalan the shopping area...
Belilah produk Malaysia! Malaysia Boleh lah!
Was in tesco in Slough to get water, then came across maggie mee!!! hahahhaahh was like yay! malaysia! boleh lahhh.... but they sold it in individual packets and its expensive too... alamak!!! i lupa beli indomeee!!!!! Oh man.. anyone coming to london can please bring back some indomee please? or just mail them over!!! :(

this is soooooo impressive!

I always wonder whats it like to work behind counters... now you can at tesco in uk with the latest technology... the self check-out system! How it works? Simple! Just scan your purchases with its barcode, beeps, when u finish with the scanning, just press on types of payment method and wa-la! u're done! bye bye! off u goo!!!


typical.... haih... ni di genting highland pun ada lahh.... LOL


Windsor Castle


on the way back to the car i made a new friend! her name is persia! sooo cute... thats not her real name, i just made it up... but this cat is super duper cute... when i called her, she keeps meowing and i think she wanted me to pet her, but my cousin said no... oh well.. next time i guess persia! muah!!! i wanna bring her home!!! geram tengok her!!!

cousin just cooked pasta, yummy... gonna get some rest... do some packing... leaving for my trip in few days time... so tired from all that walking... but it was all good and i had a great time here.
There's so much more i want to explore... this is just the beginning of my journey of self discovery, cultural exchange and finding peace. Who knows what I'll find!
