Do you trust your best friend completely??
Do you heed their advice ever if that's not what you think??
Are they supportive of whatever you do (must be LEGAL!!) ever if your decision is different from theirs??
Do you tell them everything eventhough you think that will affect his/her relationship with someone else??

Prehaps, I'm don't.......

Snowing!!



Snow on 181104
Originally uploaded by abtmay.

It was snowing in Cambridge last night!!!

It rain rather heavily and it turned into snow!! I was out with my colleague and saw it snow..... lasted for about 90 minutes.

According to the news, it was not expected that Cambridgeshire would see the ground whitened so early. Snow fell in a line from east to west that stretched from Newmarket to Bedford.

Failed my driving test AGAIN!! What a failure I am.....

This time, my defence was that there were 2 examiners in the car, one was to assess the examiner assessing me. My instructor knew that I would had fail when both of them sat in my car cos my examiner will try to impress his examiner and pick on anything I do. Tough luck!!!

Going for 'retail therapy' this weekend to cheer myself up.....

Don't go Amsterdam with 200 or 500 euro note cos NO shops/ restaurants in Amsterdam accept it (Not sure if it applies to the rest of Europe). Apparently, there is a notice on most shops that states that they don't accept 200 or 500 euro note.

We handed the 500 euro to the restaurant for our lunch which cos 66 euro and was told that they don't accept it. In the end, we decided to charge it to card and need not be told, no tips given!!

We were advised that we can change the 500 euro into smaller note by visiting the Holland Casino (near our Hotel) but we need to pay an entrance fee of 3.50 euro each. So we agreed that all of us will go in and try our luck to win back the entrance fee with 10 euro each.

Serene and I went to play jackpot and I won 50 euro!!! Sam and Junwen also won about 10 euro by playing blackjack so we did recover the cost and managed to change the 500 euro into smaller note.

Why did they have the 200 or 500 euro note in circulation when it's not 'recognised' as a legal tender??

BTW, 50 pound note is not used in United Kingdom even though you tend to get them through moneychanger overseas. You get a kind of 'stare' from the staff when you paid with 50 pound note but most of them still accepts it.

Went to London for shopping again!!!

When will I go London for sightseeing?? Guess when you live in the country long enough, you don't feel like a tourist.

Anyway, I had been to the following attractions :-
1. Changing of guards (eventhough I can't really see due to overcrowding on Sunday)
2. Harrods (if you consider it as an attraction)
3. Night view of Tower Bridge,
4. London Eye (had not ride on it yet)
5. Big Ben (saw it when we drove past, can count lar)
6. Soho (not really an attraction to me)
7. Watch theatre performance (Mama Mia)
8. Portobello Market
9. Camden Town Market

Come to think of it, I did cover quite a lot except for the museums and zoo which I'm not interested.

Next attraction to cover is the football match.
