    The Godfather Tour: Playing Mob Wife at Bar Vitelli & Taormina Trip

    Buon giorno, friends! This week, let me take you to the Southern part of Italy – Taormina! We’ll also go for The Godfather tour, where we’ll visit the famous Bar Vitelli and Sicilian villages 😍 I went to Italy in May 2024, right after my Croatia trip. It wasn’t because I had a big budget, but I had to, for the sake of getting a multiple-entry Schengen visa since there’s no Croatian embassy in KL 😅 Although I only watched The Godfather Part I, this tour was the highlight of my South Italy trip. I liked small Sicilian towns, with their cobbled-stone streets and classic stores. What excited me the…

    The Art of Taking Your Time in Geneva

    Hello, friends! This week, I feel like sharing with you my express, one-day trip in Geneva. I didn’t explore the city much, but I enjoyed the slow pace. I went to Geneva during the summer of 2023. It was blazing hot and in some areas, the roads were completely empty like a ghost town. Maybe people opted to have a siesta to avoid the heat, hehe! I joined a group rail tour from Amsterdam to Barcelona, and we stopped in Geneva for one day. Since it was only for a day, I didn’t have a to-do list or must-visit restaurants. But one thing was for sure, I wanted to visit…

    On Relationships: The Dormmamu Loop and Abundance Mindset

    Hello, friends! This week, I want to rant. No, just kidding 😂 I recently stop seeing someone and want to share my thoughts. Perhaps some of you are struggling with relationships, who knows this article somewhat relates to you… I won’t mention his name or go into details to protect his privacy. After all, I like him and wish him well, though we don’t end up together. We can like someone but be incompatible. Life happens. Okay… I’ll start by sharing some of my “HAA??😦” moments. There were times when I literally went “HAA??😦” inside when we were together. I don’t know how to explain them to you, so I’ll…

    Overseas Wedding Invitation: Yes or No?

    Hi everyone, I hope you had productive days this week. It’s almost Friday, woohoo!! 🎉💃🕺 Actually, I wanted to share with you my Amsterdam trip this week but something changed my mind. First, let me ask you a question: if you get a wedding invitation but it’s overseas, will you go? Okay, let’s flashback a bit. I was scrolling Facebook until I saw my friend post images of how each zodiac sign apologises. I laughed so hard on the train 🤣🤣🤣 Of course, the image above is meant to be a joke. I’ll share with you the rest of the images later on. So, back to the topic. That image…

    That’s Amore: Some Love Lessons for This Week

    Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! 💖💖💖 I’ve been waiting for this day. Finally, I could meet the Crown Prince of Piano, Maksim Mrvica, in person and watch his concert. Yaaaaay!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Last Valentine’s Day was like: Me: “Do you want to be my boyfriend?” Someone: “I have a girlfriend.” Me: “Okay.” I may sound like it was all good but actually, that stung a bit. However, I feel grateful to have a happy-go-lucky personality. And for past love experiences.

    Safari & South Africa Budget Trip: How Much You Need

    Hi friends, I’m back! After spending 14 days in South Africa, finally, I’m starting to get used to my normal routine. By the way, South Africa is FANTASTIC!! ❤️🤩💯 Before I went on the trip, a friend told me that safari and South Africa were on his bucket list. He asked if I could share how much I spent for the trip, so he could create a savings plan to realise the dream. Talking about safari, I know many people associate it with Kenya and think that they need to spend a fortune for the trip. Actually, there are many parks in Africa where you can do game drives aka…
