My 6 out of 7 wonders of the world

When I was younger, I read about and admired the pictures of the 7 wonders of the world... but never thought that I would be lucky enough to see those 7 wonders with my own eyes. But do you guys know what are the 7 wonders of the world? A trivia question that likely makes most of us perk up and think we know the answer, right? Actually, there are various lists of the Wonders of the World that even I got myself confused... huhu. When I went to Egypt in 2007 and saw the magnificent Pyramid of Giza, I told myself  'Hey, I'm witnessing one of the 7 wonders of the world'. But now Pyramid of Giza is listed under the '7 Wonders of the Ancient World'. 

I guess Pyramid of Giza is the one and only '7 Wonders of the Ancient World' that I've been.

Well, now let's just focus on the NEW LIST of '7 Wonders of the World' as per listed in Wikipedia as per todate (in random order) :

Chichen Itza, Christ the Redeemer, Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, Petra, Taj Mahal and Colosseum.

Why am I talking about these 'New 7 Wonders of the World' out of the blue? Haha.. because I am excited to tell you guys that I have been to 6 out of the 7 of 'New 7 Wonders of the World'  :D Bukan nak riak... tapi macam excited and rasa bersyukur sangat to be given the opportunity in term of  rezeki, masa and kudrat (Thank you Allah!!) to visit these amazing beautiful places that Allah created. Saving these for memories down the lane.... 

1. The Colosseum, Rome - 1997 (honeymoon trip okay haha!) 

2. The Great Wall of China - 2006

3. Petra Jordan - 2009

4. Taj Mahal, India - 2016

5. Machu Picchu, Peru - 2019

6. Chichen Itza, Mexico - 2019

The missing in the list is Christ The Redeemer in Rio de Jenero, Brazil... belum ada plan lagi nak pi haha.

May be one day nanti.... ;)

Happy 2021 people! 

Yes, 2020 is definitely a year that everyone will never forget. It was a tough year for me as I had to struggle doing 3 mega projects - Trinity, Jumanji and Miga-i.. ni tak masuk lagi medium and minor projects tu. Then my mom had stroke in October 2020. So in between handling the projects on daily basis, I took turn with my sisters to take care of my mom malam2 either kat hospital or my sister's house. Imagine, right after office straight to the hospital... jaga mom malam (susah nak tido sbb tido atas kerusi je)... then early next morning, tukar shift with my sister and I go straight to work from the hospital. It was a real struggle... I tell you! 

But despite the despair, tension, sadness and hardship, I believe that there are hikmah behind everything that happened in 2020. With Covid19 mengganas in 2020 all over the world, there is no way we can go vacation anywhere... but again, without Covid19, I still cannot go anywhere as I was too busy with the projects... so easier for me to redho haha. 

Okay lah... am actually killing time here sambil standby for project Jumanji mock run. Nak muntah hijau dah buat Jumanji ni... can't wait till it's over soon... 

Let's pray that 2021 gonna be a beautiful year... a better year for all of us.
