Sunday

We had the Prima Taste Laska that Renee bought for us as
dinner and it was delicious!! Except for no cockles.


Our Laksa.

After dinner, we had plans to go to Cambridge ‘Park and View’ outdoor screening.


Managed to get the ticket and thought that we had never been to drive in movie, thus should go and see. Added to that fact that the movie was 'Grease' which Sam & I had never seen before, so we went despite it was raining.



The rain stopped when the movie was played and the atmosphere was brilliant. People were honking their car horns to synchronize with the songs in the movie. Sam even joined in. Fun!!

Will definitely go again if there's more screening.

I won! I won!!



Not long ago, I submitted my photo for the 'Four million smiles', today I received an email to say that I won the 3rd prize.

What if

I never regret the path I chosen and the life I had but sometimes I do wonder the 'what if'. Prehaps we all think that grass is always greener on the other side......

Here I stand alone
With this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away
In my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change

Well I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind

What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know

Many roads to take
Some to joy
Some to heartache
Anyone can lose their way
And if I said that we could turn it back
Right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change

Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I'd never left your side

What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know

If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take it back would you still be mine

'Cos I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keep on spinning in my mind

What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I could say
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
We'll never know

Wish comes true

I always wanted to go to a sunflower field and stand within it!! I done it today at Milton (a 10 mins drive from our place in Cambridge) plus we also went to Pick Your Own (PYO) Strawberry farm


What is this?? A big field of sunflower!!


Sunflower field in Milton, Cambridgeshire. Never realise there was one until last Friday when my colleague drove past it.


Wish come true!


Big Sunflower


Field of sunflower


Just love it too much that I must put it in blog.


Pick you own Strawberry farm.


Happy me!!




In the end, we picked 2 basket of strawberry and it cost us £5.73.

Many uses of Dettol

It was too hot and muggy since last week in UK. Can't stand it cos the work place I'm in doesn't have any air-con and back home, we live in top floor, thus VERY, VERY hot!!!

Sam can't stand it and kept complaining about being sticky (due to the humidity). I suggest that he use abit of Dettol in his shower and he stare at me as thought I was talking nonsense.

Of course, Dettol can be use for personal hygiene!!! My mom use to mix it for me, no sure why though (maybe that was before Dettol shower form was introduced in Singapore). Pity that the shower foam wasn't sold in UK!!!

After using Dettol in our shower, we felt refresh and smell 'disinfected'.

Highly recommended, provided you love the smell.

Twice yearly event

Yes, it's the Next sale. It had become a tradition for us to wake up at about 4am to go to Next sale which starts at 5am. Again Sam & I had bought over 100 pounds each, will sort out later which are to be refund.

This year, after the sale, we drove to Heathrow Airport to pick up Roy who's here for a day. Think Sam and Roy had a wonderful time drinking and talking nonsense at the pub, each had about 5 or 6 pints and are now sleeping (very soundly) while I'm typing this waiting for my hair to dry before I go to bed.

Nice to meet up with old friends.

Baggage claim

Update on my post earlier regarding our rucksack being damaged during check-in, we got the compensation on Friday (7/7/06) through the post. EasyJet paid us the full value of the rucksack (cos we only bought it in early 2006) and I got to say that they were fast in replying (replied within 1 week, well, I thought this will take ages).

Happy that we got the compensation but shall we buy a new rucksack with this money or shall we repair it??

4 million smiles

Submission successful, can you find us in within these smiles??

Prague trip

Met up with Naomi and her hubby at Prague last weekend (Sat to Tue). As usual, we booked the cheap flight flying out of London Stansted and woke up at 2.30am on Sat (might as well don't sleep).

Arrived in Prague at about 9++am and realised that the checked-in rucksack was damaged!!! 3 torn and the back system metal was bent! Filed a damaged report and had faxed over all documentations yesterday (Friday) to Easyjet for claim, now just hope to get some compensation.

First day, waited for Naomi & hubby to arrive and catch up on shopping and chatting. So long never met her and I felt so bad that I didn't go back for her wedding :(

So where did we go??
Astronomical Clock

Nothing much to see, but still got to see cos it's a tourist attraction.

Market Square

Due to World Cup, there a big screen mount at the Market Square. Luckily, we didn't book any hotel near there.

Charles Bridge

Too hot, it was more that 30 degree cel and we were 'melting'.

Prague Castle

He's not hot despite the hot weather??? Impressive.

It's walking up slope to the Prague Castle but it was worth it because of the spectacular view of Prague city.


Petrin Hill
Thought of taking the Funicular railway up to the Hill but the railway was under maintenance service so got to climb up!!!

The tower is a fifth the size of Effel tower and we still got to climb 299 steps up, it's all about climbing in Prague. Go to Prague when you are young, if not you miss out alot!!

Food
Food and beers are cheaper in Prague than in UK, a pint of beer is about 35 Czeh which is less than 1 pound. For food, most of them are too salty for our taste, seems like salt are free to them.

On our last night, we had dinner at Blatnicka and the food was great and cheap. Sam loves the Pork knuckle there, highly recommended but you got to wait at hour for them to cook it. He can't wait to eat it.
