My first time

I had it done for the first time yesterday morning. I woke up early as the appointment is at 9am. I arrived 10 minutes early and I was lead to a room where someone was already waiting for me. I was asked if I am in a relationship, I said I am married. Fine. I can see a bed was ready in the same room, I took a quick look and make sure the room is locked. I undressed myself, laid now and waited. I felt so nervous wondering how it is gonna feel. Knees up, legs spread and I got even more nervous as it was inserted. Feel some pain and uncomfortable. It lasted for few minutes. Finally, it is over. I dressed myself and the nurse told me the Smear Test is done and result will be sent to my address in 8 weeks. That's it !! My FIRST SMEAR TEST. It was no fun at all ! And I am NOT looking forward to the next one.

Recession in UK ???

I was back to Penang for 3 weeks in March. From there, I realised how bad the economy in Malaysia is now. My friends and I went out for dinner on a Friday night in a restaurant in Gurney Plaza. We were there from 6 till 10pm. It wasn't busy at all. There were only 6 tables altogether for the whole night. On a (supposed to be a busy) Friday night ! We finished our dinner at 10pm and I can see the whole Gurney area wasn't even packed like how it used to be. There was no atmosphere at all. So dissapointed. Even in shopping complexes, it was all dead !

Back in London, I took these pictures in 2007 during Christmas month in the famous shopping Oxford Street. Nice and busy...

And these pictures were snapped early this year 2009, same place. Crowded with shopping people. Hmm...Recession huh?

And I thought recession hit UK worse than in Asia? Guess I was wrong.

Some pictures to share

I just want to post some pictures I took a couple of months ago. It was snowing in London early February and I managed to snap some lovely pictures in my neighbourhood.

The night before,

The next day,

2 days later,

It was nice and cold. Lots of restaurants and shops were closed for 2 days. Some of us managed to get a day off and played snow fight !!

A visit to London

Both my parents are retired. With so much time to spare, they would love to visit me in London one day. With cheap flights and hotels in London, I don't see why they can't afford to come here for holiday. Since it will be summer in London soon, this will be the best time for my parents to come. With lovely weather, they can simply hang out at the park or stroll along the Thames River. My parents will need a hotel near to major tourist attractions in London, namely Tower Bridge, London Eye and Buckingham Palace for their conveniences. Moreover, with cheap hotels and so many things to do in London, they can easily stay here up to few months. I've even organised their travel iterniary !

I'm back !!

Gosh !! It's been more than 6 mths since I last wrote a post. I've been very very lazy during the winter. Poor blog. It was left unattended for so long. Now I am back. I decided to update my blog every now and then. I'll try. Well, few things happened for the past few mths. I got a new job, I got promoted and with promotion, of cos I got salary increment and lots of shopping, I had a lovely Christmas, I went to HK, I went back to Malaysia, I got some good and bad news and now I am back to London, back to work. I am depressed !!
