Fell off my bicycle


As usual, I cycled to the train station this morning to catch the train to March. Not today, I didn't reach my destination!!!

A cyclist OVERTOOK me on the left (Not sure why he want to squeeze between me and the parked car on the left). In a split of a moment, we both fell on the right. He said sorry, helped me up and cycled off in a hurry.

Felt pain on my right knee cap. *Painful* Lift up my trouser and saw that I had a big cut on the right knee cap. Call Sam immediately and he drove me to the A&E. Crying while speaking to him and on the way to the A&E (what a crybaby I was...)

In the end, I had six stitches and had a day off today. Still can't bent my knee now and Sam had been helping me to do most of the chores. *Thanks*

Cancelled train


Happily arrived at the March station to take the 4.33pm train to Cambridge and realised that the train was CANCELLED!! *Can't believe it, the next train is 5.37pm, 1 hour later*

The station manager saw me standing alone on the platform and asked me where I was going. He later made a phone call in his office and then told me that the next train from Peterborough to Norwich which don't stop at March will stop at March today at 4.47pm to pick me up!!! Well, not just me, with some other passengers who arrived later..

Unbelieveable, he can made a train stop at some ulu station just like that??? Anyway, the train did stop and I later changed at Ely to get to Cambridge.

March

Was so disappointed this morning when I realised that the whole place was not covered in snow.

When I ready March, it was snowing and the place there was covered in white!!  *So happy*

Best ride so far...


Train

Had my best ride on train today.  Thought I stepped onto the First class section but a quick look around shows that it wasn't.

Look it's so spacious, only 2+1 seats per row (instead of the usual 2+2).  It's so clean, tidy and new!!!.  Hope I get onto more of such train often.

Pretzels (Yum, Yum!!)


Used to eat pretzel every morning if I need to catch a train out of Cambridge. The herbs pretzel at AMT was good but when I had them recently, it was stale and hard....

So I decide to made the pretzel myself. After finding the recipe online, I got 2 willing volunteers as my samplers.

The pretzels don't look too good but with cinnamon and sugar as coating, everything can be concealed. We tried to eat the pretzels when they are still hot, thus were too busy eating and forgot to take pictures.

Did have my favorite herbs and salt pretzels, really yummy!!!

Went to a client office today and was allocated a desk in a room with other staff. Something very out of place in that room, there's a weighing machine.....

After lunch, a lady came by and she started taking off her boots!! The lady sitting next to me explained that they had formed a slimming club and all members are to weight themselves every Friday to keep track of their weight gain/ loss (that explains the weighing machine).

The person who gain the most/ lost the least for that week is given a PIGGY BANK (a very cute piggy wearing a cape) to be place on her desk for the next week. Think to signify that she'd been a PIG for the past week??

Very stressful office!! So next time when you pass by a desk with a piggy, you know what it means!!! & don't put a piggy on your desk for decoration!!!

Got to go find out if the person who lost the most 'wins' anything!!

So reluctant to blog about this..... I fail my driving test again!!!!

Failed on a VERY VERY stupid mistake = reverse park and forgot to put down the handbrake!!! Feeling very stupid now!! The examiner was very nice. He mentioned to my instructor that my driving was ok but I made a BIG mistake and he had no choice but to fail me....

STUPID ME!!!! :(

It never cross my mind that Prince Charles will marry Camilla as I though it was forbidden in the royal family. Guess I was wrong then.... as Charles had announced to marry Camilla and the wedding date is 8 April 2005.

According to CNN, on their marriage, Parker Bowles will be given the title of Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall. When Charles becomes king, Camilla will not be known as Queen Camilla but as the Princess Consort, according to Charles' office.

Well, who am I to say whether they can or cannot marry but I think it's a good decision not to make Camilla the QUEEN when Charles become king.

Never like Camilla because I love Diana too much!!
