Deepavali. 8 November 2007. Muthu’s Curry, Suntec City. 8 years old. Us.
Click here for more moments one day we’ll fondly reminisce about, but for now I shall borrow Rihanna’s mega hit lyrics.
These fancy things,
will never come in between
You’re part of my entity,
here for infinity
When the war has took its part,
when the world has dealt its cards,
if the hand [...]

I’m so proud of my baby!
Stentorian totally rocked the venue last night at Baybeats!
Man, if their performance didn’t depict the right combination of skills, energy and showmanship, then I don’t know what did. You just gotta feel the enthusiasm displayed by the crowd -it was nothing short of amazing.
Since my camera doesn’t exactly take night photos of outstanding quality, let me give you a glimpse of [...]

I’ll be off to Munich this morning, but first of all, updates!
Finally watched Marie Antoinette, a movie I’d been wanting to watch since ages ago. Although the quality of the movie itself doesn’t exactly meet my expectation (coming from Sofia Coppola, it was naturally rather high), I love the fact that a considerable number of scenes were shot where they [...]

More places visited during Ayu’s stay in Vienna:
Donauturm (Danube Tower)
I love the view of Vienna that we get from the viewing platform!
And my favourite blue-sky photo of the day, taken with Connie’s camera (Exilim, naturally):
Dessert time!
Kaiserschmarrn (bottom), one of the many mouth-watering Viennese desserts that I will truly miss when I leave this place:
A lovely memento [...]

First things first: Innenstadt and all its glory.
We were fortunate to be there at around [...]

Back from Greece, satisfied and bronzified :S
Now here comes another long-overdue Easter Trip entry, this time on the bustling capital of Spain: Madrid!
Plaza Mayor, erected for Felipe III in 1620
Plaza de la Villa, the heart of what was once old Madrid
From the square, we headed to El Rastro (flea market), a labyrinth of clothing, cheap jewelry, leather [...]

Back from my Scandinavia-Southwestern Germany trip! The trip was wunderbar, save for a few hiccups here and there. Denmark is surprisingly more enchanting than I imagined it to be, while Norway charms visitors with its fjords and natural beauty. Down south, the Rhine Valley is overflowing with character, while Frankfurt effortlessly entices with its ”Mainhattan” allure.
Anyway, photos from the trip will be up when [...]

Here’s a long overdue entry on my first stop in Spain: Sevilla!
Seville is a site of a Roman acropolis, capital of the Moorish empire, focal point of the Spanish Renaissance, and guardian of traditional Andalusian culture. It is indeed a melting point of varied influences.
First stop: Alcázar!
The Ambassadors’ Room in Alcázar is allegedly the site [...]
