Italy 2014 Part 2: To Italy, with Singapore Airlines

If you have read my previous blog post, you would already know that I flew to Rome and toured Italy all by myself. If you have not, click [HERE] to read! :)


Upon arriving at Singapore Changi Airport slightly before midnight, I checked in my large-sized baggage, while bringing onboard my cabin luggage and trusty LV travel sling bag. I loved how Thy Black Beauty's black PU Leather jacket (c/o KissJane) kept me looking chic while keeping me warm during the 13-hours flight! And yes, this is me without makeup.

Excitement filled me as I boarded the plane, the insatiable feeling of flying solo was devouring me (in a good way), every second while waiting for the plane to depart. I flew with Singapore Airlines for this trip to Italy. Usually, I do take SQ flights for business trips, and those were solo trips as well. However, this trip was different, being alone for more than 10 days in a foreign land. Furthermore, I could not imagine myself not talking much, or to anyone for 13 hours! Or would I be? ;)

This is the Business class section of the aircraft.

Lights out... Time to snooze!

I always have a good experience on all of my SQ flights. The meal services and the constant drink+snack sessions were fantastic. There is no way that one will ever be hungry on a SQ flight. I had a chit-chatting session with the crew during the lull period! Thanks to them for keeping me company, else I would have been so bored from having no one to talk to! Haha!

Throughout the long flight, I had a movie marathon and watched three movies at one go, before I finally called it a night and took a short nap. Waking up slightly before the plane was bound to land, I freshened up in the lavatory by doing my facial routine and then makeup. So there you go, that was how I spent my 13-hours onboard!

Prior to landing, my usual routine...

 Cleanse my face and apply light makeup!

There you go! With foundation and eyebrowns drawn!

And soon, it was time for landing! Roma, oh Roma!!

Italy 2014 Part 1: Hello Solo YOLO!

PART 1: Hello Solo YOLO!

This post is the first of the several few which I will be sharing on my blog, with regards to my travel trip to Italy in September this year. It actually did not take me too long to decide on going to a holiday, as well as the holiday destination.

It all started out in the afternoon on 01 September 2014, when a sudden thought of visiting Italy came into my mind. Perhaps, it was the magical power of the Trevi Fountain in Rome that came into play, since I threw a coin into the fountain a few years ago. And you know what they say about doing so... It ensures a return trip to Rome! :p

Within the next 24 hours after having that thought, I finalised my trip and made the flight booking as following: To depart from {Singapore - Rome} on 12 September, and to return from {Milan - Singapore}.

Within the span of 1.5 week prior to my trip, I have gotten sponsorship from KissJane, a multi-label fashion company with several stores in Singapore. They have generously sponsored my daily outfits for the whole trip! That got me excited as I was looking forward to take my OOTD shots wearing those fabulous pieces that I hand-picked for myself to wear! In addition, The Cloveri, came onboard as my accessory sponsor for the trip! I felt so lucky to have these angels in my life! Pictures of the outfits and accessories will be featured in my Italy blog posts, hence look out for them!

I termed the whole last-minute trip decision as my "YOLO Moment", especially since it all started from a sudden (and perhaps, passing) thought, with only 1.5 weeks to prepare for the trip, and for the very fact that I was going to travel by myself in two European cities!!! Yes, me being the solo Female traveller to Roma! Therefore, I cannot find a better title for this blog post, other than "Hello Solo YOLO". ;)

Not many people knew that I was traveling in Europe all by myself. A female traveling alone. I was excited of doing so, yet at the same time, I did not share this fact openly on social media for my own personal safety reasons. Afterall, information such as (1)" I am traveling by myself" and (2) "Where I Am Staying", should never co-exist and come hand-in-hand in any solo female traveler's social media accounts! 

I shall end this post by thanking the higher power above for keeping me safe throughout the whole trip, while having a time of my life in Italy! More posts to come, stay tuned!
