Finally the day had come

I pass my driving test!!

Had the test this morning at 7.20am (the first test of the day) and I was the only candidate. The test was about 35 to 40 mins and at 7.46am, I knew I was doing well and kept telling myself (in my head) not to screw up this time. Pleased to say that at the end of the test, the tester told me I passed (with only 4 minors)!! The best result I had.

You bet I will be smiling all day....:)

Congratulations May, you are...

Like that ad for Toys 'R Us, you are that kid who doesn't want to grow up. Except you do. And now you're just a big overgrown kid who doesn't want grow up. You have a warped yet addictive sense of humour. It takes skills to poke fun at serious things and you have no problems doing that. Your peers look up to you and yet you're humble about everything. You are an infantile.

Live 8

Today is the start of the competition to win a pair of tickets to the Live 8 concert in London (Hyde Park).

Details of the competition :-

What city is the forthcoming G8 summit being held near this July?

A) Berlin B) Moscow C) Edinburgh

Text A, B or C to 84599

The text competition will close at midnight on the 12th June.

There is no limit to the number of times people can enter but calls cost £1.50 (plus operators' standard network rate) and competitors must be 16-years-old or older.

A computer will randomly select 72,500 winners to receive a pair of tickets from among those who get the question right.

The first £1.6 million raised from the text competition will go to The Prince's Trust which is sharing a proportion of the income with Help a London Child. The rest, after paying the costs of the global LIVE 8 concerts (free events), will go to the Band Aid Trust.

Hope I win!! Think how many times shall I text??

32rd Cambridge Beers Festival


Waiting for a pint



A perfect day for a pint



Something to remember by..

Just got back from the Beerfest. I'm very tired now but still need to wait for my hair to dry before sleeping so might as well update this blog.

So what did we have??

Jet Black 3.7%
Chocolate roast mild, and mellow taste with hints of nuts and roast barley.

Peachy Ale 4.5%
Light/ staw coloured beerr, with peach notes throughout and a sweet finish.

JJ Lemon Ale 5%
Interesting beer with obvious citrus notes, and hop flavours to the fore throughout.

Dragonhead Stout 4%
Strong dark malty chocolate aroma, full of flavour and with a dry finish.

Explorer 4.3%
Seasonal beer launched for the first time in 2004. A hoppy bitter with a dry finish.

Peat Porter 4.5%
Initial fruit taste, leading to a roast malt taste, slightly sweet finish

Some cherry beer that Sam order which both of us DON'T fancy and can't remember what it was.

Which one do I like?? huh?? Think I like Jet Black among the above. Sam can't decide between JJ Lemon Ale and Explorer.

Will definitely make it the next Beerfest if we are still in Cambridge.

The only time we had a walk around the colleges or go punting is when we had visitors in Cambridge. This time (Sunday) our visitors are Ian & his wife, Joanne and her 4 friends. The weather was rather good with the odd showers lasting for only a few minutes.

Had quite a good laugh seeing them punt initially but they learn to handle it rather fast and there were less traffic, thus a less bumpy ride for them.
