Ah! Now I understand the name of your blog. Was going to ask you, but thought I might find the answer in your first few articles. Here we are!

When I look at the word "idyll" I somehow think of Heidi and those lovely scenes in Switzerland.

Frankly, I think you write better than Dawn or Xia Xue who have the tendency to post more pics than words!

So keep it up.....Read and write... who knows... you may be the next star blogger for Stomp! :-)

Wow... I'm far from a star blogger! Thanks for your sweet compliments! You're too kind!

I must say Dawn and Xia Xue are both gorgeous enough to have the pics pasted all over their blogs! Maybe I'll be like them one day when I have courage to go under the knife of plastic surgeons. I doubt that day would come true though. lol.

For some unknown reason, I fell in love with the word Idyllism without even knowing what the word truly means.

My gut feeling tells me that this word has got to do with something nice and pleasant.

It is right.
