The Princess Diaries - Life, Travel & Food

Spring is here... And I miss California so... Some great memories back last year.

The Lonely Cypress, 17 Mile Drive.




Cannery Row, Monterey.




And Robert Mondavi Winery, Napa Valley.

They were right about the sky and water. No blue ever stays the same here. All photos unedited and untouched for the first time. Too beautiful to spoil the original blue.
这里，蓝色一直都在变。所有的照片都没经过调色。蓝色都是原本的。变化多端，捕捉也有点来不及的感觉。

Sky at Periwinkle, sea at Air Force blue at the sand bank. Ooo I love LOVE LOVE the sand bank!!
爱死这沙洲了！！




After a moment... it turned Cornflower blue! Amazing combination of blue and white. Very soothing.
蓝与白的对衬。很舒适。

The beauty that surrounds Chaaya Lagoon Hakura Huraa is so moving, visitors will learn to be still. 

For an ultimate holiday experience, the Chaaya Lagoon Hakuraa Huraa is your perfect destination. With a new look and better facilities, we are ready to offer you the wonders of sun, sand and sea in a backdrop of ultimate comfort.

Located 145 km from the capital, Male, it takes 45 minutes by seaplane to get to this idyllic 6-acre island paradise. Once you arrive be prepared for memorable times. Surrounded by an azure ocean lagoon replete with the wonders of the underwater world, this is a paradise for diving and snorkelling. Meanwhile, on water sports include windsurfing, sailing and canoeing.

Blissful days blend into balmy evenings. Memorable nights lull you into an idyllic state of mind. After sunset the entertainment begins with disco music and the famed Maldivian Cultural show. These are memories to cherish.

For those who love pork cuisine, you should go to Chicago Rib House. It is famed of serving BBQ ribs and steaks. They just launched their new menu a couple of months ago, so worth a visit.

I will never quote my wedding as a fairy tale ending because it's only the happy start of our next chapter in life. Friends and family who know me well will understand that I would opt for a crazy dynamic wedding banquet rather than pretending to be an elegant Barbie doll whole day through!

Good word to describe me -- SASSY!
Even though when I've become the bride, I'm still a sassy bride!

We decided to have a short session of post-wedding portraiture in Maldives since this is one of a lifetime thingy.
我们决定婚礼后在马尔代夫拍摄一集简单的蜜月婚纱照，因为这毕竟是一生人一次的纪念。

I had my make-up done in 20 minutes, all DIY. Hair as well. =)
I chose to wear something light and short instead of long bulky gown, because our honeymoon was about sea and sunshine. The gown should bring out the vivacious side of me. Of course it should carry some romantic feel too.
我亲自动手化妆，并在20分钟内完成，所有都是DIY的。头发也是。 =）
我选择穿轻而短的白色小礼服，因为背景都是海洋和阳光。这轻便的简单礼服才能带出我活泼的一面。当然，圈圈的花边还有浪漫的感觉。

Now you get to have more choices on beverages when you shop in Queensbay Mall. Check out the newly opened Tea Secret – a brand of Bubbly Rich International Sdn Bhd, specialises in preparation and supply of premium quality take-away beverages.

There are 2 sea-plane terminals in Maldives - Maldivian Air Taxi (MAT) and Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA). Basically there is no conflict of route coverage on contract basis with the resorts.
马尔代夫有2个水上飞机码头 - Maldivian Air Taxi (MAT)和 Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA)。两家公司基本上没有覆盖的路线，因为已和各度假村签下合同。

List of resorts that both these sea-plane operators fly to...

Though still feeling exhausted, I was waken up by the morning sun at 6am...
Not that surprising though... it is only a mere 3128km between Malé and Kuala Lumpur but there is a three-hour time difference!
Malaysia is probably already 9am. . . No wonder the sky was so bright. . .
虽然很累，但清晨六点钟已经被阳光晒醒了。。。
不出奇吧。。马累和吉隆坡只相差区区那3128公里，却有三个小时的时差！
大马大概是九点了。。。难怪这么亮。。。
