Me and Nature...

The tree did not bend because of my weight!!!! It was orignally like that and my friends and I thought it would be cool to pretend to be koala bears….do I look like one? =p
It’s spring time!!! Time for outdoor activities. Almost every weekend, my friends and I are out….seeking fun and adventure. Here’s a list of weekend activities we have tried out:
hiking
swimming
cycling
jungle tracking
skiing (well not really, just playing in the snow)
The weather is just perfect for outdoor activities! Not to mention the scenic view where you have flowers blooming everywhere, birds chirping melodously in the background and warm comfortable breeze blowing your way. Bolzano is the perfect place to be during spring….they have such undescribable natural beauty – lakes, valleys, mountains and rivers. As the saying goes “a picture paints a thousand words”, but sometimes even the pictures don’t do justice to the actual scenery…. they are simply breahtaking!
Come, come to Bolzano and you’ll see =).

Making an ‘angel’ in the snow
A bed of roses? No..more like a bed of unnamed yellow flowers
**there’s a new entry to my “International Cookbook” – Rasha, Gianluca and I made Calzone. Check it out here (scroll down to the last picture!).

Hey Pei Hsien..what a nice surprise. Good to hear from u, how are u? As for me…i am now studying Computational Logic in a small Italian town call Bolzano.
Oh the pictures…some of the pictures were taken by my professional photographer friend, Diana. She uses a canon digital SLR, EOS, really professional =p. Some of it is taken by my Nikon Coolpix L3, quite good for outdoors.
