Lover’s Walk in Cinque Terre - a pathway connecting 5 villages along Italy northern coastlines. This Lover’s Walk is the pathway connecting Riomagiorre and Maranola , at the end of the pathway there’s a sculpture or sort that symbolizes the eternal love.

In the picture , you can see many locks being locked to the railing , Italian believes by locking a lock there , you’ll be bonded forever with your love ones…

oklah too much sentimental stuff - been listening to Joshua Radin’s song too much ha ha ha… go download his song ‘Winter’ ..it’ll change your life ;)

2007 : Tahun Melawat ..err Italy? he he

Monday, May 14th, 2007

as you guys might have read from the previous post (*geez time like these I wonder if anyone even interested in these crap i’m posting from time to time :P *) I’ve just returned from a super-fun-like-hell backpacking (trying to sound cool by inserting the work ‘backpacking’) trip to Tuscany..

I’m still waiting for my slide film to be processed which gonna take 1 week (stupid Jessops!) but so far here’s some teasers that might gave an idea of how fun it is..of course the company or who you’re with at that time counts too!

the girls in dtown Siena - Il Compo square i think the name of the place

Scooter ..italians love scooter..just like Malaysian..this is ofcourse in front of Pisa Tower

Joyce enjoying her Strawberry Desert in La Torre Trattoria in Siena (very nice place, kinda pricey abit)

Elsie had some Tiramisu ( seriously all this while I’ve thought Tiramisu is some Japanese cake! well this was before college la…)

Chilled here last day of the Trip..the beautiful quaint town of Monterossa of Cinque Terre…even sempat sun bathing and mandi manda hehehe

Joyce had some Bleu Cheese Pizza with Pineapple as topping! weird… but nice in a weird way..

At Piaza Michaelangelo overlooking Firenze (that’s italian for Florence :P )
got this shirt for about 5 euros (35RM) tapi tak muat siot! aku kena diet skit! haha

biggest F’ing steak I’ve tried! 600 grams of pure Fiorentina T-Bone! only served Rare..

Mat Rempit versi Italy kat streets of Pisa..

I will do a proper write-up or sort of Lonely Planet-ish guide (again using the word Lonely Planet in a lame attempt to sound cool) to Tuscany once i’ve sort out all my photos..and also finish up some of my piling workload due to the 2 weeks jalan2 balik Malaysia and Italy..

keep ya posted..

cheerios..

Religion Tolerance

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

Had a good rest this weekend..was pretty tired cos i just barely got back from Malaysia dah pegi cuti Italy pulak..just got back from enjoying the beach of Northern Italy last week so this weekend baru dpt rest..anyway, went for Friday prayer last friday … in Egham there’s no mosque or anything like that so most of the time the prayers are held in some music hall at the Royal Holloway University . These past few weeks though, it is the exam time of the semester so this music hall are booked for exams. So we ended up praying in this multi purpose hall that is next to this church - (it belongs to the church)

thanks to the Church committee for letting us use the hall for Friday Prayers…i’m very touched to see such tolerance displayed by British Christian people (and i’ve heard of similiar cases in America too)

I’m not sure if given a scenario in Malaysia where a group of Christians wanted to use some dewan serbaguna (let’s say at Skolah kebangsaan, don’t even imagine that these people can use any dewan that belongs to a masjid!) for prayer purpose, sure got some intolerant radical muslim ppl making up fuss for sure knowing our Malaysian mentality..let’s hope later on we all could be more tolerant in the future and be more involved in more inter-faith community

cheerios
