Grown-up trip to London Part 2














1st attempt of Belgium food in my life, and it was an amazing first try... The people are friendly and welcoming. I suppose not many tourists would know this place, this place was introduced by my Ney of course, but his friend brought him here when he was visiting London back then. So, back to the restaurant, address and more information just Google "London Belgium Food", tada! it ranks at the 1st tab of the page searched. or you can simply click here, it will direct you to the home page.

The restaurant is at the underground, it gives you a 'cave' feeling, and it was nice! The have a big open kitchen, and their male and female toilets are linked too, both sexes share the same hand basin. Cool huh?

Another COOL thing about this restaurant is that, it has promotion period, for dinner is called "BEAT THE CLOCK" from 5pm. It means: (Copied and pasted from the official website)

PAY THE PRICE AT THE TIME SHOWN ON YOUR FOOD ORDER

 AWESOME right?? How I wish Perth has this kind of good stuff.. (Maybe there is but I haven't heard of any..)

Tho the promotion is awesome and attracting, but our stomach couldn't wait till then, we reached there 15 mins earlier and we were so hungry that we could't wait any longer! So we just ordered for the lunch promotion, is called "Lunch Express",*different restaurants have different menu*, and it was still pretty cheap [main course + a drink = 7.95 pound].  the time period is from midday till 5pm, so basically is like the whole day they are doing promotions. Awesome for students. :D
and The food!! oh my, it was pretty good!  Look at that chicken, well cooked and the sauce, yum yum!
Ney had the classic mussels, it was fresh and they cooked it in wine, the taste combination is mixed well, I don really fancy seafood like Ney does, but this dish just amazed me. and I was the one who finished everything. :))
The dessert was alright, we don really know how to enjoy the flavour as the orange sauce is a little bit bitter and it tastes better with the vanilla ice-cream, and if you finishes ice-cream as fast as we did, you are in deep trouble cause you gotta finish the crepe with the bitter orange sauce. *no way...!! personally I don like it*
So, some travel information in London, got yourself an oyster card, is easier to travel, but there is no student discount from it. Nvm, I have the Queen accompanied me around. :)) The card was 5 pound and you can return it and get the 5 pound and the remaining money inside the card, so remember to get one to travel! cause you gotta need it as you will travel everywhere using the underground train.

We stayed in the youth and student hotel, and it was pretty good, people are friendly, clean and safe to stay in. People watched Europe cup together at the TV room, chilling in the lobby or chit chatting in the dining area, is just very welcoming. But me and Ney just treated it as a hotel, a place to sleep and shower then Ciao for the whole day.
The neighbourhood where the hotel located, Nice right??



The Victoria bus station, we are heading to the airport for our next stop, btw, the buses are equipped with toilets! How awesome is that?? unlike in Malaysia, we have to wait till the bus stops at the resting area only we can go to release..

till then, Bye London

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...
