More of the duomo in milan.
I have no idea why i couldnt continue the earlier post. It keeps crashing when i tried to edit it. Like after 20 tries, decided to post it abd continue in a separate post. X.silly visits the duomo too! V excited! A shot with me and a shot, all by himself. Duomo and part of the piazza below. Love this shot of the piazza with the shadow of the duomo. Right at the roof top. This is the other side of the duomo where its equally beautiful. I think i could easily spend the entire day there at the roof top reading a book or something but i had to…

Honeymoon day 2 – roaming around milan.
Its the duomo visiting day! Funny how we didnt visit it the first day especially since it was just in front of our hotel! According to der, he said this is one of the grandest duomo he has ever seen. I cant decide between the one that i have seen in spain and this, but grand indeed it was. Frontal view. Taken at an angle. Us with the duomo. The interior with really tall ceilings. The beautiful stained glass windows thats not showing clearly from my phone camera. The intricate designs at the front of the duomo and the beautiful paintings hanging. All the monumentos in the duomo. This part…

Pottering around milan.
Some random streets of milan while heading towards our hotel! Our hotel! Hotel rio, just round the corner from the famous piazza duomo. It was still v early and we dumped the bags under the care of the hotel and headed off! First up, headed to the central train station to buy our train tickets for the rest of the trip.. Nice tall building with beautiful ceilings and intricate wall designs. I didnt manage to take a picture of the main facade, but it wasa grand building with 2 winged horse statues at the side. Guess what is the first food i ate in italy?! Its a magnum gold! At…

Krabi Day 6 (30 Jan 2010)
the last full day in krabi with spent with 6 of our new friends. and it started embarrassingly because everyone was waiting for us while der and me were still in bed! tells you how tired we are from all the adventures that we had and we just jumped out of bed, forgo our breakfast and ready to run to catch the boat. except that the boat is always there waiting for us. we had a private longtail boat at our disposal and we had planned to go to the 4 islands – tup islands, chicken island, poda island and instead of the usual caves that the itinerary states, the…

Krabi Trip Day 5 (29 Jan 10)
what was supposed to be planned as a diving trip took a change in direction when we asked the rest of the couples if they were keen on heading out on a day trip together with a private longtail boat. everyone was keen, and i decided that we’ll shelve that diving opportunity to another time and welcomed the company that we had. as such, we planned a day of island hopping (to the phi phi islands) on day 5! i didn’t whip out my camera as often as i though i would on this trip. i guess the iphone was a niffy gadget and i sorta relied on it too…

Krabi day 4 (28 Jan 2010)
Previously wrote an entry that gave a quick summary of the adventures on the 4th day of the krabi trip, which involves white water rafting (mainly), and going on the ATV where i flew off the vehicle. I’m trying not to repeat the entries so here’s some interesting facts during my experience. January is not the season to be white water rafting in krabi. the water levels are low, and there’s isn’t much exciting or rapid water in the river. the experience was ‘rigged’ with dam water, so what happens is that everyone get ready for their experience, gear up, get into the boats and wait by the river bed…

the family
the festive period is a bad time to catch up on my blog entries since I have so much work to do – housework/cleaning up the house, serving my elders, being the unofficial official photographer. last night, when i had the most free time, i spent hours going through my mobile hard disk and pulling out the family pictures to be plonk into the 15″ digital photo frame that my uncle bought. 6 months ago, the family gathered for grandpa’s birthday and we took a road trip to malacca that i totally forgot to blog about. it was a rather stressful trip but a good attempt as we got everyone…

krabi trip day 1 (23 Jan 2010)
i was a bunch of grumps due to the lack of sleep. i slept at 8am in the morning (to clear my work before departing), and woke at 9.30am for last minute packing, breakfast and all. for once, der is more gan cheong and kiasu about going to the airport, something that i am not expecting from someone who travels frequently. for me, i just wanted more sleep and nothing else. i never met the photographer and mua before the trip, so i was quite surprised when the duo came up to us and asked if we were who we were. my god, the waiting lounge was huge and there…
