I've been super busy lately, and have decided to put all these blog posts on hold, but anyway updating ONE post won't take too long :P

 Among so many European countries I've been to, I have to admit that Italy is my favourite. In terms of culture, food and scenery. Perhaps it's their super laidback lifestyle that I like... It feels really relaxing to be in this place, especially during summer when everyone is out enjoying the sun.

 Piazzale Michelangelo is a must go in Florence to get the entire view of the city. The only reason I came here was because of the scene I saw in Triumph in the Skies HAhahahahaa... It's super ridiculous in Part 1 where they can be in Rome and then up to Michelangelo Square in 30 minutes and then down to Rome again in another 30 minutes. That confusion that they have created!


Where's the focus at? :P Picture could have been better if I've adjusted my sunnies correctly :(

 Ok... Because it's a nice view, it's quite a mandatory thing to snap pictures right? =D

 That scene in Triumph in the Skies 1. That cafe where Belle and Sam goes to all the time.

 But when I was there, I don't see that cafe anymore!! Perhaps refurbishment took that place down already. Too late!

Nevertheless, there's still one miserable cafe, just didn't look like the one in the series. They serve overpriced drinks and the waiting staffs are horribly rude. This is rather unusual because Italians are usually very friendly, perhaps they tend to care less in touristy areas. Kim and I figured that we should take a rest after walking a whole day so, here it is, drinks while viewing the sunset :)

This is why I love Italy so much! Buonasera! :)

I have wayyyy too many travel posts to update but too bad, I've got other priorities. Like a few upcoming trips which I've just done planning. By now I should have at least 10-20 still-trying-to-complete drafts. To think of it... I've got too much to do. Athens post will come in in a bit!

 Meanwhile, take a look at London from Heron Tower :) There's this amazing restaurant Duck & Waffle which serves really good food. Well this is the view of it.. I wouldn't say amazing much but yup, it still is as there are not many tall buildings in London.

It's summer time!! Well, summer isn't really summer hot. It's still chilly during the night, goes down to 12 degrees occasionally. What's this - summer gone wrong! It's time to go, we need that Summer after having 6 months of Winter! Well, weather is too extreme - let's hope for the best... or just JET OFF TO SANTORINI! :D

 So... It's "the day"!!! Jac's wedding!! We met two years ago in an island - now we're back in another island!!! The difference is - the island is way prettier plus Jac's getting married!!!

 It was funny how we ended up in Jac's place earlier than expected. We thought we were going to be late (you know... typical Malaysians, we arrived at about 6.10 which was supposingly 10 minutes late, but it turned out that the schedule says 6.30!) Well... It's OK, a mistake turned out to be good afterall because we can take more photos!!!

 Jac's place at Andronis is so pretty - the private suite with a jacuzzi overlooking Aegean sea! Amazing much! (That means we are taking 12391823032 more photos)

 The beautiful and stunning bride!

 And her macho husband behind!!

 We kept taking photos with Jac but we forgotten about Sebastian!! Anyway we ditched Jac for a bit and took photos with Sebastian instead!

 The gorgeous wedding altar!!

 The beautiful floral wreath is a traditional Greek symbol... I've always seen one in game, but I've never exactly seen the real thing! Anyway, notice the metal plate on the table with rose petals? Initially we all thought those were white pebbles, when they offered us I thought I have to take and throw in the sea or something HAHA. It turned out that those are just pebble chocolates. Oh boy.

 Some hanging hearts and the Aegean Sea. 

 That I-Do moment! 

 "Sebastian... you better sign.. or else..."

 Cheers!!

 We were supposed to let the both of them have some time alone - somehow or rather Jerine and I quietly took a few pictures from far... I'm still curious what was Sebastian doing that time... Superman!

 Awww - so sweet :)

 The girls who attended - Myself, Jerine, Cely! ^^

 It's just sooo funny - Hong Kiat was so enthusiastic to get it, and true indeed, he got it.

 Some random photos during sunset - Superman Sebastian giving Jac the 360 degrees spin!

 The sweet little personalized note from Jac! :) Aww... Thank you for inviting me in the first place! Hugs!

 And off we go to the wedding reception after everything! There were so much food - so much that I bet it's for 15 people! It's supposed to be finger food but...

 So anyway, this is one awesome pastry!!! It has many layers and as I took a bite out of it - everyone stared at me because that bite.. TOOK FOREVER. You can just imagine me biting pastry on a slow motion mode... with that "crakkkkkkkkkkk" sound that lasted for 20 seconds. What can I say... One awesome pastry.

 Some other finger food. I must say that the finger food are really so good! 

 So comes the dessert - some rice pudding and chocolate pudding.

 The view from the reception. Though I can barely see the sea, but who cares, the view is still good.

So we had a little session before we move back to whichever part of the world we should be in... Till then...

I'm so happy for the both of you - Jac & Sebastian! So happy to be able to witness your wonderful wedding - Congratulations on your new life together!!! I'm so sorry for not being able to meet up when you came to London after - will make it up to you the next time we meet, soon I hope! The next island for us - Hawaii OK! Jerine and I will save up for that! xxx

**P/S: Some pictures stolen from Jerine's blog :)

 The museum I didn't get to go. So I can only take a picture from far... Haha. It's located in Fira if you're interested. Just a few steps from the bus stop.

 We wanted to grab food and drinks at Franco's Bar, it has this awesome view but too bad they don't serve food. Like proper dining food. They probably have snacks but I-need-food.

Looking at words that I cannot understand makes me feel dumb. But anyway it's not possible for me to learn every single language. One Greek word I've learnt so far that I doubt I'll ever forget... Malakas!!! I'm not telling you what that means... so I can call you that. ^_^ 

 So we picked the nearest restaurant because we were all hungry. Louis Restaurant is just located a few steps away from Franco's. Of course it isn't as good as Franco's but it's still good!!! Food was good and reasonable too, so why not?

 Camwhore time! Anyway, notice the mannequins in the background? That shop sells really lovely dresses. Do check them out!! As much as I wanted to get one, I didn't. For the most obvious reason - I'm broke :(

 In Fira you get to shop for souvenirs. We spent our afternoon strolling around buying souvenirs. That is also why we didn't have extra time to sit at Franco's Bar.

 I cannot get enough of the view really. I mean, I don't think anybody can!

 The view is so good that any of those pictures I've taken can be a postcard!! Even if it's a phone quality picture.

 There are a number of nightclubs in Fira too if you're intending to stay here. I stayed in Oia, which was more of  a couple place to stay. 

 I wish I wake up to this window - don't you? :O

 

And here comes the Powerpuff girls!!!!!!!!!!

 Another "postcard" photo! :)

 I was too lazy to walk to the other end. We didn't have much time left as I wanted to get the I Love Santorini t-shirt so badly. Did I ever mention the neck hole is too bloody small I almost got killed when I wore it for a while. It doesn't make sense to say my neck is FAT. The cutting is just weird seriously. So there goes my Santorini shirt, it's sitting in the cupboard. Speaking of I Love Shirts - that's my current collection. I have the I Love Shirts collection, I get one wherever I go to. Sigh I have to get someone to fix that neck hole for me. I want to roll around with my Santorini shirt!!!!!!!!!!!

So that sums up my almost to the end of Santorini trip. :(
