My Dreams - Top Wonders of the World

" 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 !

Here are the real pictures of the top wonders I had taken in my travel. What a consolation for me - you reap what you sow ! Otherwise I do not have theses pictures to share with you in my travel blog captioned " My Travel Days - My Life ". From 2005-2009 April, I used another of my travel blog website : http://www.km-travel.blogspot.com/ to jog my memory cum traveling experiences in places like Japan, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, India, Cambodia etc.

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 .......

My travel blog is the greatest gift I treasure after my retirement. Happy reading. "
