Grown-up trip to London Part 1

The 1st stop was London.
Oh, how I adore it.
"London bridge is falling down, falling down,
London bridge is falling down,
my fair lady." 
The song I used to sing and play along with my childhood friends and sister, and cousin sisters and cousin brothers and everyone typically. 
And Finally! At the age of 21, the age as an official adult, I went to the places that I adored for my 20 years of life.
London, I LOVE it!! Seriously, I miss it so much...
I love the weather, the buildings, the efficiency, the people and the shops and prices!

 Took train from Bradford to London, and Ney made me one railway card too!


The 1st stop was the Buckingham Palace.
How I wish I am the Princess in there.. *.* Kept asking Ney whether the Queen and the Prince really staying inside, whether they have to listen to the music whenever the guards change shifts.
What is it like to be a REAL princess..?

Ney said I was lucky enough to see they changed shift because last time when he came it wasn't the day they changed the shift. They have their schedule, click on this link to check out for more information Changing guard time.(if you are going to London)
Alright! It is time to visit my most favourite place! The Big Ben and the Parliament House!! Oh man... I have been wishing to visit the place ever since I watched Sherlock Holmes! I just fall in love with the place immediately.
They are such gorgeous babies, I mean buildings.. and you can see the color of the river too, the color is so matching to the building color. But who cares when these two babies are there.


Lunchy time! We had our lunch in the China town area, and this is The BEST, honestly, the BEST roasted duck I have ever eaten in my whole life!! Oh man, the sauce, can you imagine how tasty it is just by looking at it? I wan somemore!! I don remember the restaurant name (I think is 4 seasons..), but they have few shops inside China town,so you can just ask around.
Next stop is to M & M, such a happy and colorful place to visit, as you can see the picture below, it is a 4 stories shop, different level have different stuffs to look and buy.


The most interesting thing is that they have these tubes full of different colors of M&M lining up against the wall and you can get a plastic bag from one of the staff members and start filling it up using your creativity by mixing the color! and after that weight it and pay! But we didn't buy that because after the roasted duck lunch, I don feel like eating anything till next day, its so filling and oily..





The Parliament House looking hot in the night... Yea?
Its almost 10pm or 22 hour, and the sun haven't set completely, thats one thing I find hard to adapt.. because your mind is telling you, the sun hasn't set yet, you can still hang out, is not yet time for sleep..

Well, this is overall of the 1st day in London.

London part 2 is coming up soon..!

Being separated

Ney went to Hong Kong for business trip from today onwards for a week. I have forgotten how hard it is to be separated again. I thought I have overcame this separation anxiety from the past practices, but apparently I am wrong, so very wrong. This choked feeling from holding back my tears have been in my stomach since I woke up this morning. All these worries of the plane might go missing or crash or kidnapped or probably go into another dimension and appears again 20 years later keep running in my mind. I know I am stupid to think like this, but I could not help myself. i miss him really really much. i can't imagine life without him, yes, i am way too glued to him, this must be what they called love. okay, enough of that, i just need a space to release all these not so good energy since i feel better after writing it out. Oh, guess what, I handed in my very 1st resignation letter today. It felt right and free, I felt a huge burden has been lifted up from my shoulder. I believe the...

Short Getaway to Batam, Indonesia

Image
Every trip that we had, is always a much needed break from work. I don't know how people could work without without taking leave. I strongly believe taking breaks are healthy for all working adults. For it to be staying at home or going out of town for a good meal. It keeps you sane and help putting life into perspective. It allows you to think that work is necessary but what's more than life has to offer besides career. On our breaks, we get to just chill and talk about things.  This is our first time visiting Batam, Indonesia. It is a very popular short getaway place for Singaporeans because it is so near!  So popular that everything is expensive (in hotels), but it is still very cheap in the city.  We stayed at the Turi Beach Resort ( http://www.agoda.com/en-sg/turi-beach-resort/hotel/batam-island-id.html ), and I think it is a really good choice.  Selfie before departure, so happy that we are sitting here rather than in front of work desk! ...

When it happens and after that

Image
I've stepped into my 6th week of post-surgery, I'm feeling much better now. I look perfectly fine from the outside (as usual) with some help from cosmetics. Let's talk about the week when my operation was conducted. This experience is something I want to remember. It is the biggest surgery our family had to go through together. It wasn't an easy experience, so many decisions had to be made in a short period of time. My problem happens on the mitral valve, it wasn't closing as it should have because of the previous vegetation had loosen it and had left a hole unto the valve. This had caused the oxidized blood to leak back to the heart. If left untreated, I would have a heart failure.   So, my surgery was arranged on the 13th of November, 7 am. I was the first case for the surgeon, Dr Pau. I couldn't sleep well the night before, my thought was I will be sleeping the whole day the next day, what is sleep now. Most of the nights leading to the surgery, I was...
