Rome Diary: Remains of ancient Rome

My first visit to this grand ancient city - a history of more than two and a half thousand years, being referred as "The Eternal City" ~ Roma Aeterna.

One of the highlights in Rome, an ancient domus discovered underground - truely an unforgettable journey through time. The archaeological remains of ancient Roman houses uncovered beneath Palazzo Valentini are now on permanent display, adding to Rome's already rich historical and artistic heritage. Visitor can see walls, rooms, peristyles, kitchens, baths, furnishings and decorations all come back to life, taking a virtual tour of a great Domus of ancient Rome.
Finally, a virtual reconstruction of the column gives you a close up look at the bas-reliefs and the story they tell of Trajan's military campaign: the conquest of Dacia, present day Romania.

Plan your first stop at Le Domus Romane di Palazzo Valentini and I am sure it's going to make the entire trip more surreal.

Column of Marcus Aurelius

The most stunning church in Rome, none other than Arcibasilica di San Giovanni in Laterano. This is the oldest Christian church in the world and was commissioned by Constantine the Great.
Am charmed by all the beautiful sculptures in there.....

Here's my OOTD !! White on white on white ;)

Top & Skirt: Zara, Sunnies: Rayban Aviator, Sneakers: Converse

Dance like nobody's watching ..... <3

Had a great friday nightout with my lovely girlfriends at the Kinki bar.. ;)

I enjoy their company soooooo much ... <3

So this weekend was a lazy one...  Saving my energy for my tooth extraction on Tuesday.. Completely freaking out. 4 at one go, am not sure I can take it. Cheer for me ok.. !!! Braces should be on 2 to 3days after my extraction.. Will try to video the process for you guys.. hehehe

Still managed to have brunch at the famous Artichoke Cafe & Bar located in Middle road on Saturday. Well, it did not impress me though.. Fried Chicken tasted sweet due to the spice and the fries were soggy. For those who are not aware, this is a middle eastern restaurant famous for their brunch. I would say that they do have a nice concept and cosy place for brunch, food wise I still prefer Riders cafe. Here's a picture of what we had.

For the ambience, I would rate them 3.5/5 and food at 2.5/5.
What's your take on Artichoke cafe???

Have a great week ahead guys!!! Love.. <3

Tee Off in Style

It's Sunday guys, weekend coming to an end... Actually I dislike Sunday the most out of the 7days.. Well, at least we've got great weather today... Just perfect for practice in the driving range. The last time I played golf was like 2 years ago, wondering what will happen to my body after today.. haha
One of my ambition is to be a professional golfer... How cool is that right... Have a few ambitions during my growing up years, like dog whisperer, top designer, lawyer, dive instructor, ballet dancer, pianist and golfer... Ended up working in a bank instead.. I guess, that's life...

Since he proposed to practice today, of course I took the opportunity for a short photography session before the real game.. ;p
Take a look at what I wore to dinner for Saturday nightout.. Pictures taken only today. I wonder if other bloggers are like this. Sometimes you don't always have the opportunity to take pictures on every occasion you have, so the only way is to retake the next day.. ;) Especially with the lazy photographer I have :p

Love my new pearl accessories from HongKong. Check out Island Beverley mall next time you are in HK. Just like our Far East Plaza ;)

Okok, I can hear you shouting bimbo... This is just for the photoshoot.. Here's the real game after I changed into my casuals ;) My second video on youtube.. hehehe.. How is my posture ??

2 years since I played and my gloves are dead after today.. Excuse for shopping again. ;) This is my new girly gloves ;D

Have a great week ahead all !! If you like my blog, please publish for me by telling your friends, colleagues, relatives, everybody you know to read ;) You can follow me on instagram too, @engellpeh

I have been hoping so much for New Zealand to win though I know that Fiji team plays really well !! Miraculously, England beat Fiji in the semi-finals leaving them to fight for the title with All Blacks in the finals. (I was shocked to see England beat Fiji :o) Needless to say, All Blacks got this by 26 to 7 !!! hehehe.. Super cool win !!
