Day 2: Plitvice Lakes National Park

Have you ever thought that google images of scenery are fake or they are edited way too much? 


I was invited by a dear friend of mine to Croatia. I have never heard of that country before but immediately I said yes. So the first thing I did was I googled Croatia, there were many images of this park called Plitvice Lakes. The pics showed the crystal clear lakes and stunning waterfalls. It was also stated in Cool Hunters as the top 10 places to visit. 

Then I got a bit excited seeing the awesome photos taken by tourist and visitors. But I still kept wondering if the place is as breathtaking as the pictures.

The first day was all about exploring Zadar. Day two, I had to wake up bout six something in the morning. Then got picked up from Zadar to Plitvice. Reach Plitvice two hours later. Bought our tickets and then we started our journey.

Lots of 'not allowed this and that' signs. For example, not allowed to swim. But surprisingly, visitors are allowed to bring doggies but dogs must be on a leash. Seeing the doggies here so well behaved and happy made me wished that dogs in Msia are treated like that. Other than that, I even saw parents pushing baby strollers in the park. Super brave lo. Btw for your info, the whole journey of the park is about six hours plus.

Meet Mr Coby, the bright yellow model. Apparently, he is very poisonous and it could kill me.

Apparently, the water is sweeter in Plitvice.

So were the pics on google real?

I have to say Plitvice is as wonderful as the images I saw in google. I really saw real crystal blue lakes which i wish I could just jump into the lake and swim around and probably catch some fishes. lol. Everything here is too much for me to describe. Despite the wet weather, everything here is just too awesome!

I was blessed to be able to visit Croatia with a few of my friends. It is the most beautiful country I have ever visited and honestly I cannot even stop talking about how awesome Croatia is. Thankfully the hostels we stayed were really nice, clean and cheap too. This trip is definitely one of my most memorable place I have ever visited. 



Happy sueannie with her queeekkk face..

Mua first meal in Zadar. If you know me well, you know I love Italian food. In Zadar, they are famous for their pastas, risottos, pizza and grilled seafood. And the food are mad delicious. I was never a big fan of pizzas but dishes there totally changed my mind. Cannot stop eating! If only meals here are as affordable as Zadar, 'wishes'.

The above image is a magic staircase 'sea organ'. It produces music by way of sea waves. super cool! Awesome design by architecture Nikola Bašić.

Besides the sea organ, there is also another urban installation called the Greetings to the Sun which is also designed by Nikola Bašić. This installation absorbs sun energy and then it will create pretty colourful lights during the night time. Reminds me of a dance floor. What so special about this spot, is that it is beside the sea. Awesome view!

Confirm you think I bluff you I wrote ice cream land le but no pictures also. Honestly, Zadar is an ice cream land! They have like a gazillion gelato ice- creams shops. Sadly, I forgot to take pictures of it. sob sobz. I FEEL LIKE EATING ICE CREAM NOW! Just to let you know when I am old, i confirm will open an ice cream shop that sells all my favourite ice creams! Confirm the gelato will be super fancy with edible glitter, choc chips, liquorice, toffee, cinnamon and all kinds of berries. The exterior of the shop will look like candyland. Can't wait!

Will post day 2 soon! which is my favourite part of the trip!

Summer time!



I was super busy for the last few weeks because of my final submissions. Keeping myself in the room so that I dont get distracted. Anyway hopefully everything went well. Cross mua fingerss! and pics of projects coming soon!

I also realised that blogspot layout changed. Honestly, it looks pretty weird and all over the place. 

So back to topic. Today is a really awful saddening day for me. I was suppose to go to Alton Towers but I set my alarm wrongly and I missed my transport. Furthermore I paid for the trip and it is not cheapstuff kay. So I am really angry at myself for being careless and irresponsible. Btw Alton Towers is a theme park in UK if you are wondering. Haven’t been to a theme park here and I heard it is really awesome! Because they have lotsa mind blowing killer rides. Not like back home. So definitely I wanna go!! but I am super disappointed now.

Anywayz luckily I still have trips to look forward to. I will be heading to Croatia this coming Sunday. Super excited! I heard is like an island paradise and it is also my first Europe trip! the sea there is crystal clear kay. Check google images if you do not believe me! It is like turquoise water! and it will be sunny. Temperature bout 20 plus plus. Super looking forward to get away from this idunnnoewhy is still cold spring weather here. 

So I went shopping for some summer items in London last night. Just a few summerish thins I am looking forward to wear!
