Hello to all,
Its' been months since I last blogged.
Just came back from my 26 days holidays in UK( again).
gosh, I must control myself from going there too often.
somehow, I feel quite at home over there already.
very thankful for gracious people like Noelle, Wei Yang and Luke
for putting up my sis and I at their places.
Truly blessed and appreciated.
I have concluded that out of the three trips to UK,
(within a year-im actually embarrassed about it)
this spring hols was the best thus far.
It was a very fruitful one indeed.
From London-Paris-Lake District-Sheffield.
Did some irrelevant shopping, and many sightseeing
which include Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre dame, Disneyland etc.
Conquered Mount Hellvelyn (took us 5hours to get up the summit and down),
did some quad biking which I felt was a total waste of money ( lesson learnt)
and crashed University of Sheffield lectures ( pretty interesting).
Basically, lots of quality time.
