shy also* 

I was in Singapore last Thursday. In the evening, I went to my cousin brother's house and was asked by my nephew to play this 'stacked word game'. Since I have had some practice playing Scrabulous on Facebook, I took the challenge. I mean, how difficult can it be to play with a 4-year old...

Not until I placed the letters F-I-C on the board.

He asked me what FIC was.

"It's a fruit la," I replied confidently.

"Isn't that spelled F-I-G???"

today, we visit croatia* 

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear 'Croatia'? Is it the Serbian war back in the 90's? Bosnia-Herzegovina? Or plain blank? For me, it's just the war. That's about it. You hardly hear about the country in the news nowadays.

Well, the name cropped up again 2 days ago when the handsome and talented Monsieur Cedric asked if I'd like to see some of the pictures he has taken of his trip. Of course my answer was an overexcited YEEeeSssS! With minimal pleading, he has given permission for me to post some shots on the blog.

So boys and girls, I present to you...Lastovo and Dubrovnik from Croatia.

LASTOVO is a municipality in the Dubrovnik-Neretva county in Croatia. The municipality consists of 46 islands with a total population of 835 people, of which 93% are ethnic Croats, and a land area of approximately 56 km². The biggest island in the municipality is also named Lastovo, as is the largest town. The majority of the population lives on the 46 km² island of Lastovo. Read more here.







DUBROVNIK is an historic city on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia, positioned at the terminal end of the Isthmus of Dubrovnik. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations on the Adriatic, a seaport and the centre of Dubrovnik-Neretva county. Its population was 43,770 in 2001 down from 49,728 in 1991. In 2001 the absolute majority of its citizens declared themselves as Croats with 88.39% (2001 census). Since 1979, the historic centre of Dubrovnik has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Read more here.





Gorgeous, isn't it? I always believe in sharing travel pictures with friends, coz it is the next best thing to visiting the place yourself. And sharing is always a good thing anyway.

If you have enjoyed the pictures, then be polite and say, "Terima Kasih, Cedric!". Yeah, this French fry speaks Malay too. Ha. Talented or what?
