The Valentine’s Week

This is it. This is the week most people have mixed feeling about. The Valentine’s week.

I thought being with someone would solve it all. I thought I will be so peaceful and spend this week with my own version happilly-ever-after. Oh I could have not be more wrong then ever.

Oh the pressure…

Broken crayons

A broken man whom I have with me right now color my life with the most beautiful color combination that I could have never thought of! I hope he realises how beautiful life with him is.

Ban Gaw

Being Asian in north european country, I take my visit to asian restaurant seriously. This is because, first, it’s super expensive. And second, it’s super expensive. So when I heard from my Indonesian friend that this Thai place called Ban Gaw is highly recommended, I find time to go there.

repeat

A life of a teacher is like a cassette played over and over again with a repeat button. No matter where you are, you will always be someone who will be left behind while your students embark to their new journey. [Originally written on 22 July, 2017]

Smileprints 2018

2018 by my definition was a crazy year. I think I will find a lot who would think alike. Take the craziness out for a while and let me share with you places that I visited during the year.

Beginning of last year, I visited Iceland with my friend Epri, my fail attempt to see The Northern Lights. Should I nominate this to be the first disappointment in 2018? Maybe. But I rolled like the rich Asians, bathing in the Blue Lagoon, putting mud mask, just because. Though my balance sheet at the end of the year indicated that January was the month where I had minus. Ouchie. 💸

ØsterGro

I had the luxury of a fine dining couple of weeks ago in a hipster place called Gro spiseri – ØsterGro.

Be good to yourself – 4

You cannot say that you are being good to yourself without allowing yourself to indulge to your favourite food. So, this time around, not a new raincoat, not a yoga routine nor a new bathroom scale. It’s: Give your tastebuds what they like the most. And for me (one of sooo many) is Sushi! 🍣🍤🍥

Cafe Central, Vienna

On a sunny August afternoon, me and my friends decided to take a touristy detour in vienna.

Milan, Italy

It was just a weekend trip to Milan, but it was really nice. They said you’ll meet yourself when you travel. I have to add:  you’ll meet yourself when you travel, alone.

First thing on my walking route was Bosco Verticale. It was just an apartment building which grew big plants to make it look like forest. A very refreshing sight in a modern city.

Ostello Bello Grande, Milan

 

 

 

 

 

One word. Fantastic.

 

My trip to Milan is special because I have not been travelling alone for so long. In fact, I could not even remember the last time I travelled alone. So, to lessen my worry, I asked for a hostel recommendation from my friend. And she said that choosing Ostello Bello Grande would never go wrong. And I prove it. Located in Via Roberto Lepetit, 33, 20124 Milano, Italy, this hostel is just 5min walk airport shuttle terminal. It’s also 7min walk from Milan Central Station.

I arrived last night around 1AM. 24h reception welcomed me with a smile and welcome drink. I checked in to a 5-bed-mixed dormitary room which was occupied with me and one guy. Milan was so warm that night but luckily the room has an AC. I slept soundly immediately. Woke up and took a shower, I realised a girl came last night (morning?). I didnot hear her. Thanks for being quiet, good hostel manner.
