This is the best fried rice I have managed to 'produce' on my own so far ;) 
And if you're wondering if it tastes as good as it looks? The answer is NO, because it definitely tastes waayyyy better than that! :D Can't wait to eat some REAL nasi goreng or char pui in those hawker stalls! ... and char kuey teow, and wat tan ho, and nasi lemak, and roti canai, and hayaki's honey lemon and many many more lah...
Ready for boarding! Taking the evening flight home tomorrow :)
See you soon.. and Happy Chinese New Year to ALL!!!!
恭喜恭喜 恭祝大家
新年快乐 身体健康
心想事成 事事顺利
越来越美 越来越帅

To say Prague is "beautiful" would be an understatement. Being there is like being in a fairy tale because most of the buildings are castle-like. No words will be adequate to describe this city so gorgeous belonging to its very own class.
Is it Prague's or is it our luck that we still can get a glimpse of a different era through Prague's architecture today? Prague is said to be one of the few cities which has stayed unscathed during the world war 2. Most of the similar architectural legacy in other European countries have been either destroyed or bombed back then, which made what is still left in Prague today sophisticated.
The buildings in Prague are mostly painted in bright colours. (Why can't all the buildings be painted this way and then people will be so happy looking at them and eventually everyone will be living a happy life everyday. So simple...) And despite its old age, all the buildings still appear to be in good condition. Guess the government must have invested a lot of great effort in maintenance. 
The public transportation system in the city is good enough to keep travelling from one place to another convenient. Metro and tram are fast and clean, and affordable! though the tram route can be quite confusing sometimes. But for tourists, I'd say #22 would be the main tram you need to take to get yourself to most of the main attractions... 
And that's how we reached this Prague castle standing on the hill across the Charles Bridge. Some friends have told me to walk up the hill for the scenery's sake but we figured that our energy and stamina would be over-consumed since the outdoor temperature was below 3 degree celcius and so we decided to enjoy the convenience of public transportation instead. SMART choice ;)
A typical gothic architecture. Impressive, isn't it? Since the cathedral and what's inside the castle had failed to interest us much, we just spent some time looking around from the outside and decided to take the walk down the hill this time :-) At least walking DOWN is easier than walking UP, rite? SMARTx2 choice :D
Inhaling the breathtaking view of the city from hilltop. A bit misty from the photo but it was fine on that day itself.
Prague is, like what the internet says, always packed with tourists. So, if you want your holiday to be something different where you can watch normal people living their lifes doing their daily chores and feel special since you're on holiday and NOT working, Prague is definitely out of your list. 
It isn't easy to find the way to the Old Town Square, or better known as "
There are many stalls beautifully decorated in Christmas lights selling everything from German sausages to piggy's knuckle, hot wine to icy cold draft beer, Christmas ornaments to heart-shaped cookies...... and etc. 
We spent almost every evening here hunting for food, enjoying the Christmas atmosphere, though the tourist crowd can be quite annoying sometimes. 
'Trdlo' is one of the traditional Czech pastry. This bread is rolled in cinnamon and sugar, coated in caramel and served hot! It looks unusual, but tastes delicious! 
And then there's always time to warm ourselves up with a glass of hot wine... 
After all, the most important thing when you're on a holiday is not to rush places, but to relax and have fun.
Besides the splendid architecture, the relaxing park lying just along the riverside is as inviting in the evening.. Sunset across the Charles Bridge was romantic :) 
This unusual-looking building is called 'The Dancing House' and it hasn't got a single straight line on it. 
Watching live performance on stage, particularly musicals like Phantom of the Opera, The Nutcracker and Giselle have always reminded me of the passion I once had for dancing without fail. 
Billy Elliot The Musical is a simple yet touching story about a young boy who follows his dream to become a ballet dancer despite all the inner conflicts and difficulties that he faced. Since the background setting is the 1984 miners' strike in England, the whole atmosphere was tensed. Even though there weren't much of those glamorous props and costumes unlike The Swan Lake or Sleeping Beauty, the passion in the dancer himself (Billy) is so great you will be easily convinced that any extra costume or prop will be unnecessary.. The best thing I find in the musical is the mixing of ballet and tap which definitely creates a lot of impressive dance movements. Kinda inspired me to pick up tap, someday. ;) I wasn't surprised at all that the show actually brought a tear of joy to my eye. 
However, this movie is different. It is still a comedy, Jim Carrey is still hilarious and funny but this time, they come in naturally AND there is an important message in the movie, which is closely-related to many of us, if not all. The movie kept me laughing from the first minute to the very last. It has been a long time since I last watched such a movie... It was pure joy :D If anyone is going through a lot of stress or need some good laugh (like me) or entertainment, this movie will be perfect for you, I guarantee. The only regret for the movie is it is a little too short.. Such great movie should have lasted a little bit longer.
Jim Carrey's best friend in the movie, Bradley Cooper is very charming I find! Heh! 
Kicking off the new year with a fresher look ^^ i'm loving my short hair now! :D
BUT somehow I happened to be in the Manchester Printworks this year with a bunch of new friends. I still had fun afterall, without getting drunk... hence the hangover is saved. The crowd was scary and I swear I'll try my best to NOT get myself into any clubs for the next NYE... 
Home party is more of my choice :) I thought it'd be great to have an all-in-one party (which includes farewell, Christmas, Dec birthdaysss, new year) before I leave Seoul and so I organized one in a warm cafe... And it turned out perfect! One of the best parties in my life in fact, minus those late comers part (note to pohkhayinn!) ..
Christmas is quiet in UK. After dining in an Italian restaurant on Christmas eve, we headed straight home to unwrap those tempting presents :-D 
The Santarina outfit was a BIG surprise! Love it to bits loll ;P
The bf attempted on a roasted turkey on the Christmas day itself... Very courageous but good try for the first time! It was a bit hard but after some good laughs over it, we still managed to have a lovely evening with some candles and white wine over the dining table.. Chardonnay is just perfect for all occasions.
