Rome was beautiful, romantic, full of historical sites. I was so upset when i have to leave..how i wish i've got a few more days! 3 clear days there was simply insufficient to truly enjoy myself. Did this flight with my team.. so sad. It was our last few flights together. And i just did our last flight with them yesterday. Sigh! I think i will miss my team very much. =(


My hotel room in Rome. This golf resort..very cozy! Once we touched down after our 13hs flight, we headed out to Factory outlet store!! So tired..but we couldnt resist the shopping. So who cares how we look?~ as long as we can go shopping! hehe

I thought this was the coliseum but it wasnt. =X

Freaking tired...and it was a 2-3hs train ride from Rome to Florence to montevadi.

See Milano?! i wana go milan!!

How can it be possible to have prada and gucci when all i see is kampung?! but its really nice to see the greens and see the little cottage houses.. makes me wonder how it feels to live in one. hmm...

tata! i am here!!

Yes! this is the factory outlet of PRADAS!

damn ulu

and here's where you find gucci, burberry....

after a whole long day of shopping.. i finally had a taste of italian food.. and it was so tasty! Fettuccine with salmon!

this pizza aint that greatconcuss straight out on the first night.. we even canceled our Venice plans. So sad.. so second day headed to city to sightsee instead.


carbonara tasted bad!

dont u think this looks familiar? YES Trevi Fountain – The most majestic in Rome, and the most famous throughout the world. The Trevi Fountain dominates a small square in the heart of Rome and entered everyone’s imagination thanks to the nighttime bathing scene with Anita Ekberg in the film "La Dolce Vita" by Fellini. This huge Baroque construction, inspired by sea mythology, took 30 years to built, starting in 1732, and was started by Niccolò Salvi who did not live to see the completion of his work. Legend says that anyone who throws a coin into the fountain will return to the Eternal City.(adapted from a travelplan.it website!)



and yes i threw a coin and made a wish!

i love u!

on the way back 11hs flight.. we were still our holiday mood! How i wish i dont have to return and stay there till i get sick? how i wish only.

My prada!

and my gucci!an unforgettable trip.. i will not forget! Perhaps it was the weather..or my mood..or maybe it was the bossa nova music that was playing on my ipod that affected my mood. It was so relaxed..so romantic.. so happy to be there. It was good to go on sightseeing trip, a good spontaneous team, cutie, and shopping that made me sooo happy and satisfied. i wonder when's the next time i go Rome again. Some people waited for 4 years.. my leading waited for 10yrs before the chance to go Rome. For me? My 2nd month flying. I am very lucky. =)
You've got the poison,
