Easter Sunday
I'm sitting in the flat typing this while looking out of the window, cos it' snowing!!! Yes, it's snowing on Easter Sunday and the snow sets, everything looks white outside, lovely!!

F1 Night racing Singapore

Initially, I thought it's night racing in Singapore so that it wouldn't be soooo hot and it will look brilliant with the lights, etc. However upon reading the BBC, did I then realise that the reason that sound more likely was so that the time of the race suit the timing of Europe.

Will the night race in Singapore be a success?
I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be a good race. If I was Singapore, I'd be saying, well, we're putting up all this money, why don't we have a Grand Prix at the time that suits us? I'd be rather nose out of joint if I was told the only reason you're having the race on at that time is to suit Europe, or someone else.

Petite Anglaise
Saw Petite Anglaise blog in a magazine (think it was ACCA mag, due her legal case) and was hooked to her blog ever since. Her book is out in UK but I forgot about it when I ordered other books last weekend!!! Errrrrr.... Oh well, I will wait for the paperback to be out then.

Update : Can't wait, bought it last week from Amazon! First edition and hardback!!

Tour around Cambridge

We always embark on a tour around Cambridge whenever there's visitor and Eagle Pub is always a convenient stopover for a pint plus it's a touristy place.

Happy New Year everyone
Hope the year of Rat is going to be a fantastic year for everyone!!
As UK don't celebrate Chinese New Year, it's not a public holiday so got to work....:(
We did however have a steamboat dinner with Jaster last weekend as a reunion dinner, hope everyone enjoy their dinner.

恭喜发财！！！

《爱不难》-阿杜
来不及告诉你
不想让你走
来不及找到可以
原谅的理由
空荡荡的双手
抓不住这借口
有句话好久好久
都说不出口
爱不难，爱就在
我和你谁都无法承担
爱太难，到弊端
到最后，我只爱着简单
来不及告诉你
不想让你走
来不及找到可以
原谅的理由
空荡荡的双手
抓不住这借口
有些话好久好都
说不出口
爱不难，爱就在
我和你谁都无法承担
爱太难，到弊端
到最后，我只爱着简单

Can listen to the song here.

9 Jan
Our ROM anniversary!! We planned to go out last weekend to celebrate but as we were down with the stomach bug, we stayed home instead. So yesterday I bought pork crackling to roast and make some soup, instead of eating out. A simple meal for Sam and some roses for me. Job done!!

Sightseeing

Jess was here for Christmas & New Year and we took her sightseeing in Cambridge, Woburn Safari Park & London.

It's best not to walk in when the animals are looking at you as thought you are their food!!

London

Train ride to London Kings Cross Station


The crowd at Buckingham Palace for the change of guards.


Big Ben


House of Parliament


London Eye


Westminister Abbey


Tower Bridge


At Piccadilly Circus Tube station, waiting for the train.

And of course, the shopping experience in UK (including queuing in the cold for NEXT sale at 5am in Cambridge)!!

Christmas Day

Brew some mulled wine during Christmas day afternoon to get into the Christmas mood....

The turkey was 4.98kg and was simply too big/ too much for the 4 of us!! Managed to cook the turkey and get the table ready at about 6pm. We makan the turkey wings, drumstick and abit of thigh meats, the rest were left for the turkey porridge (Boxing day dinner).

We were so busy on Boxing Day and today!!! Shopping at Bicester Village on Boxing Day and the place was packed!!! Today we were off to NEXT sale at 5am today (27/12) and back to sleep for about 1 hour before setting off to Cambridge again in the afternoon for second round. Grabbed some fantastic bargains but I'm now too tired....:(

Got to sleep now to recharge my energy for London trip tomorrow.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Turkey

This year, I had ordered a free-range turkey from the Bury Lane farm shop instead of buying it off the supermarket's shelf.

Hope it's worth the money. Cost £8.75 per kg and the turkey I ordered was the smallest at 4kg. Seriously doubt the 4 of us would be able to finish it but it's the smallest turkey they have!!

According to this article, the most expensive turkey is the Whole organic free-range Devon bronze turkey from M&S, priced at £12.69 per kg. So expensive!!
