We managed to get off 1 bottle of red wine and almost the whole bottle of vodka..

Cathedral Quarter, Belfast

In Belfast, the area surrounding are characteris into quarters such as Cathderal Quarters, University Quarters, Titanic Quarters and few mores. One of the prominent quarters that you should not miss is the Cathedral Quarter. Its just few minutes walk away from the city centre. Its the quarter that i have visited since i stepped into Belfast. Its rather late as i arrived Belfast after noon time. With some times wasting in the hostel, i finally decides that i should start my tour around the city eventhough its going dark soon!

Belfast's Custom House, situated on the very edge of Cathedral Quarter by the city's central Laganside bank, was a popular site for public speakers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Today, in the Custom House Square, activities can be widely varied, from more pedestrian- and family-orientated performances and activities to quite large-scale music concerts, D.J. performances and circus-style performance events for children and also adults.







Cathedral Quarter is a developing area of the city, roughly situated between Royal Avenue near where the Belfast Central Library building is in the city centre. From one of its corners, the junction of Royal Avenue, Donegall Street and York Street, the Cathedral Quarter lies south and east. It can be referred as the old merchant quarter of the city. Past where the merchant area meets the Cathedral Quarter is still mostly merchant trade and services orientated and undeveloped for visitor services.

The Cathedral Quarter is so called because St Anne's Cathedral lies at its heart. St. Anne's or Belfast Cathedral is a Protestant cathedral.

Belfast City Hall

Belfast City Hall is the building of the Belfast City Council and its located in Donegall Square.

The exterior is built mainly from Portland stone and Baroque Revival style. It has towers on each corners and its is the main landmark of the city. The domes of the towers are coated in copper but are green in colour.

The interior has a number of notable features including The Porte-Cochère and Grand Entrance, The Grand Staircase, The Reception Room and The Great Hall. The Great Hall was previously destroyed but its then further rebuilt.

The themes on the City Hall includes history of the City Hall, Belfast during World War I and I, famous Belfast citizens, Titanic, former Lord Mayors, Lord Mayor's regalia, including the chain of office, and gifts presented to the city.

Belfast's - Titanic Memorial

Garden of Remembrance and Cenotaph

Monument of Queen Victoria

Its been 2 1/2 years for me working in Yankee Chicken. The takeaway that i used to earn money for all my travel expenses. This is also where i proved my self to be independant, not relying fully on my parents as i was before.

I agree that i'm still relying to them a lot, especially to my dad. He is the one funding me all the way abroad to do my Undergraduate as well as my upcoming postgraduate. He is the one paying my rent and my living expenses. He is the one that pays all my airticket and my spending while i'm in msia. Every swipe of the credit card i used, is paid by him. I was spoiled before in some point of my life but then i realise how hard to earned those money. The money that i spent with no actual purpose.

From the takeaway, i learn how hard the earned those money. These hard earned money derived from all those endless nagging, tiring yet long hours work. Every single penny worth the tireness of life.

But sometimes, people thinks i never appreciate the hard earned money i worked from. From their point of view that, why wasting those money to travel and get nothing in return. Why not saving it in the bank and earn the interest?

My point of using it to travelling is to fulfill my dream. A dream that might not come true if i don't start it now. Travel is one of my big part of life. I don't mind travelling all the time despite those endless pack and unpack work.

Let my ask you a question. Why on earth you kept all those money while you can fulfill your dream? I have yet no priorities of life. I have no burden except for myself. Fulfilling my dream first before something happens to me. If its happen and i have plenty of money in the bank, what the use of it. Its seems to me that, if you hard earned those money, you should enjoy it in a way that you desire for rather of misusing it.

Yesterday was my last day of work in the takeaway after years. Not that i've been sacked by my boss but i'm graduating and might be moving. Which city i will move is still a matter of questionmarks. Will i be in hull, leeds, london, birmingham or anyplace. its a huge uncertainties but what definite is that i will come back to england.

Another reason i stopped this week rather than next is because my mum and bro will arrived london tomorrow. Will be sightseeing london for few days before coming back to hull for a night rest. Next stop willbe frankfurt before attending my graduation. A result from 3 years hardworked in uni.Its not actually hard workked but the stress on the subjects but yet, i managed to endure it.

3 of us will be flying home on 18 but i will be on a different flight compare to them. I will reach a day later as i'm going to go through a 11 long hours of transit in dubai as well as staying over singapore for a nite.

By 20, i shall arrived Kuching international airport. The hug that i missed, the argument that i missed, the humidness of the country, the closeness of friends and also not to forget, the endless exercises to be endure. Something that i looked forward after 5 months struggling alone in this cold country.

The only regret is my dad unable to attend my graduation. Unable to see me get into the stage and be awarded the degree that i survived through. Unable to witness how his hard earned money gives me the hope on my future. Unable to share the joy of my life. It might be sad for him in a way without him mentioning. Trying to ask me to take as many pictures as possible for him to look at. I wanted to cry when i think back. I really wanted him to be here but yet his situation not allowed him to do so. I understand it so well but i'm still saddened by the fact that he is not here with me.

Its a long post. Endless ranting about my life. Its pointless to be honest and i noe people prefer travel journey. Its more inspirational and its gave everyone ideas of different country.. I might post up some post later. Either about the city hall or probably about County Antrim. and till den

Belfast, Northern Ireland

Belfast, Northern Ireland marked my third stops in this year summer. 1 week there ain't enough but i cant do much as i've booked the tix back to england earlier.

Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland is just 40minutes away from leeds by air. A country that used to be a centre for the Irish linen industry, tobacco production, rope-making and shipbuilding during its earlier years, , but then, Belfast became a centre for industry as well as the arts, higher education and business and also known as the economic engine of Northern Ireland.

Belfast, gone through periods of disruption, conflict, and destruction which the city suffered greatly, but then today its a city that sustained period of calm, free from the intense political violence of former years, and substantial economic and commercial growth. A huge change.

However, in my view, Belfast looked so differently compare to cities in england. The city is more quieter than usual, even on monday. Its just plainly empty by the end of the day except the area in Shaftesbury Ave.

But then, it is not my main reason of visiting Belfast, what i really up to is the countryside. the beautiful and breathtaking scenery.

wohoo!! i got my new phone! lala.. i noe its not iphone. coz its darn expensive. i rather get that money to travel.

but i got another alternative to iphone, blackberry.. just got it today! :D love it.. unlimited internet with that...

endless twitter, facebook, rail check(in the case of delay), ease my boredom wen i'm in london waitin for mommy! 3 more days and 'll be reunited with mummy.

1 more weeks den, i will savour the yummy german frankfurter! :D

u noe what.. 'm too lazy to pack all my rubbish! too many things to pack.. so far, 4 boxes, 3 large luggages full with my rubbish. Still got many many things haven't pack. 'm so dead

Charles Bridge, Prague

Charles Bridge, another main attraction that you should visit once you're in prague. It is a famous historical bridge that crosses the Vltava river. The views around are stunning, not to mentioned how amazing the statue that situated in every corner of the bridge. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava (Moldau), the Charles Bridge used to be the most important connection between the Old Town, Prague Castle and adjacent areas until 1841. It was previously called Prague Bridge or Kennedy Bridge before it changed to Charles Bridge

The Old Town bridge tower is often considered to be one of the most astonishing civil gothic-style buildings in the world. The bridge is decorated by a continuous alley of 30 statues and statuaries, most of them baroque style, erected around 1700.

Statues around Charles Bridge

Nearby Charles Bridge, you can find the Lennon Wall, It is a wall that has been filled with John Lennon-inspired graffiti.

The wall was a source of irritation for the then communist rgime of Gustav Husak Its used to be writteb grievances on the wall by young Czech

The wall continuously undergoes change and the original portrait of Lennon is long lost under layers of new paint. Even when the wall was repainted by some authorities, on the second day it was again full of poems and flowers. Today, the wall represents a symbol of youth ideal such as love and peace.

P/s:This should be the last entry for Prague so far as i'm only able to retrieve Fratten Hill picture once my friend upload it to somewhere that i could save it My battery in my camera does not last as long as i expected without charging. But yeah, i promise to blog about Fratten Hill
