There is simply no reason not to love this city.
It is a perfect example of old meets new, where culture interlaces with technology. Sightseeing was exceptionally interesting and enjoyable.
Enjoy the pics :)



The Town Hall of Bruxelles
A magnificent building with the statue of St. Michael slaying the devil on top of its tower. Both the exterior and interior were artistically constructed. The floor tiles remind me of a blazing sun, Haha.




Guildhouses
The presence of these elaborately decorated guildhouses makes the entire Market Place more grand and beautiful looking! The designs of these houses reveal how wealthy and important the owners were. I like the one with a golden man on horse statue. It is known as Maison des Brasseurs, previously owned by the Brewers guild.




La maison du Roi
It simply means The King's House in English terms.
A decorative building with many small statues at the top.
Contrary to its name, no King had ever lived there.
Today, it houses the City Museum of Brussels.




Mannekin-Pis
The famous Mannekin-Pis statue which had been around since 1619.
Actually, it is just a small bronze peeing boy around the street corner, nothing magnificent or amazing. But i suppose no one will visit Bruxelles and miss out on this famous landmark .
When we went there, he was naked. Kinda disappointed, because i was told that the boy has a wardrobe of various interesting costumes.
Heard that there is a female version known as Jeanneke Pis, but since it wasn't a legendary icon, we didn't visit it.




A self confessed food lover.
Belgian food is simply love at first sight and cravings for more after the first bite.
Mussels in a pot with White wine sauce, awfully intoxicating.
Highly recommended by the Japanese colleagues.
Indeed, I felt like i could go on in pots after pots!
One can never go wrong with desserts like strawberry crepes!
Fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce. it feels like heaven on earth!




Cathédrale Saint-Michel
A remarkable historical site with spectacular Gothic architecture that totally astonished me. You gotta see to believe its beauty. It is an iconic Roman Catholic church in Bruxelles where many royal weddings and christenings take place.
My favourite historic religious landmark, so far.



The Atomium
One monument that looks like it had flew in from outer space.

Windmills
Apart from the traditional wooden wind mils, modern windmills are commonly seen along the highways. I don't know why, windmills give me a sad feeling, standing so tall, yet so lonely.

The sightings of windmills soon marked the departure of our trip, as we headed back to Amsterdam from Bruxelles.
I love Bruxelles, and i think there are still so much more awaiting me to explore.

P/S: Indulging in Belgium chocolates and chocolate liqueur, want some ? ^^

我小学一年級的作文是这样子的：
“ 我要有一个家庭，一个很疼我的老公，一儿一女，和一只大狗。”

到了中学时 ：
“我要有一栋大房子，一个又帅又有钱的老公，和一只大大的狗。”

到了高中时，想法却变成了：
“我要有一栋大房子，不要老公，不要孩子，要一只husky狗狗。”

之后，经历了这么多，我越来越不相信幸福，也很怀疑爱情的真意。。。
发生了这么多事，我也开始领悟，爱情不是谁对谁错，也没有谁背叛了谁。
我的世界也不会因为没有爱情而停止。

我也坚信我一个人也可以活出一个人的精彩。
少了爱情的女人，还是可以很漂亮很有自信的。
女人不需要为爱情而活嘛！！！

可是。。可是。。。
一直到你出现后。。。一切都改变了。
我对我人生的规划也有了改观。。。

因为你，我开始学习to love myself, and to love you．
:)

Do you know how many dogs are abandoned in SG each year? Countless.

Buying a pet dog on impulse, or as a form of novelty, many owners ended up giving away their dogs to welfare organisations such as SPCA or abandoning them on the streets. Seriously, where is their sense of responsibilty? And the cruel truth is, many of these unwanted dogs will be put to sleep if no one wants to adopt them.

Let me quote what may seem a cliché to everyone - "A dog is a man’s best friend"…How many times have you heard that phrase before? Perhaps a thousand times. But sadly, how many people out there really put these words to heart?

*************************************************************

The other day, a stray dog appeared at Eileen's office.
Thinking that it might be someone's lost pet, they called SPCA, and only to find out that the poor dog has no owner at all. Despite a hectic work schedule, they decided to keep the dog and it had been under Eileen's care for a couple of days. Coincidentally, this dog appeared in the newspapers in conjuction with World Animal Day.


*The newspaper article from Eileen*

Over the weekends, i visited this lovable dog. (it's a female dog with no name) At the first sight, she pranced around me excitedly and began sniffing and licking me with curiousity. Although i fear big dogs, she is likeable and very friendly towards me. Thus, we decided to bring the dog out in the hope to allow her to bask in the nature and also mingle with other dogs. We brought her to a dog cafe in Turf city.


*Good girl lying on me in the ride, coz im giving her massage!! Haha*


*Woof, the dog wasn't looking into the camera at all. lol *

Not many dining places in SG are pet-friendly. But this cafe situated in Turf city caters specially for dogs and their owners to dine together. Dining in a dog cafe is such an interesting and enjoyable experience. hahahaha.

Because.... all the dogs come to you....
Like how bees are attracted to honey.... Haha.










Illustrations above are just for fun :)

i like the feeling.
Our canine fella greet us with a wag and a lick.

To us, she is just a dog, but i know, to her, we are her only friends.

Love your pets, because, you mean the world to them.

*************************************************************

"A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.

If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies, and when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their
way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death. "
- Eulogy on the Dog by George Graham Vest, 1870.
