" We all have Dreams. But in order to make Dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort "
" The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their Dreams "
" A Dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination & hard work "
By chance, I came across a travel website under http://www.famouswonders.com/ entitled "Top 100 Wonders of the World". Little did I realize that after 7 years of travelling (since 2006), my travel blog has some 50 pictures of famous places I had visited and guessed what, these places were nominated as the top 100 wonders of the world in this website version - is'nt it amazing !!! One of them is in our own backyard ie The Petronas Twin Tower - surprise ! surprise !
Have my desire to see the civilized and natural wonders of the world been met at this stage ? I don't know. Maybe I should let my mental, physical and mental strength dictate my body and soul from now on .......

" The Secret of Life : 1) You feel happiness through what you experience, not because of what you are; 2) Should you encounter a problem along your way, change your direction but not your destination; 3) Today is a gift, that is why it is called THE PRESENT. My travel blog is the greatest gift I treasure after my retirement. Happy reading. "
