I have not been updating my blog that frequently this month. I suppose it's a good thing as well because that means I am actually busy occupied by other things that are happening around me.
...*rewind to where I left my blog*...
Finally got my Tier 1 visa approved and got my passport back around the 10th. It was the Monday that I had to bring myself to say I am quitting my current job. It's not easy, but it wasn't hard as I thought it would be either :).
Met up with CM and JJ for dinner @ Hereford Road, Bayswater after work on Wed. Their menu were very adventurous indeed. The pigeon I had for mains is ok. And also tried a lil bit of JJ's calf's brain. It was not that bad, just tasted deep fried jelly :P. But need to thank JJ for the dinner since its on his treat for my BD :)
Spent the following weekend with the BF after the whole 3 weeks not seeing him and missing him dearly...had dim sum lunch, ice cream @ patisserie valerie, Iron Man 2 and then Thai for dinner - another w/e norm for me these days. Not for long any more though...
Weekdays were spent productively sorting out my room, clearing out 4 years worth of clutter. Felt a bit 'ng seh tak' to part with most "junk" that have been with me since I came to the UK - 9 years! But it needs be done. Most of the old clothes, shoes and bags are now in the clothes bank. That said, I am no where ready to move! Only managed to throw away a lot of stuff and got some empty boxes from the shops in the Galleria.
Last weekend was a very good w/e. Never had such a special weekend for a long time :))). Took a day off on Friday and spent the first half of the day with the BF and then started our road trip - direction - North East towards Norwich. Stayed at his friend's house who is living there with his wife. Such a nice couple and really appreciate them for accommodating us. It is a very quiet area - totally out of the city - can you imagine living somewhere without phone reception? And the only thing around you is lovely big green fields, inviting and chilling al fresco english pubs and friendly, polite people who are actually generous enough to return your smile :). Got there around 6ish and then headed out to a local pub for dinner. I had a fish platter which is not bad. The BF's lamb shoulder is soooooo much nicer.
Spent the next day boating for a good couple of hours at the Norfolk Broads. I think we were at Horning...Lovely weather, driving a boat (although a small one), dodging ducks, a pint of beer, a couple of pretty shots and a homey BBQ after made my day :). The weather is super kind to us. The hottest weekend ever so far this year! It is also a big factor to how pretty my photos turn out to be :). I'd say the best meal have to be the Sunday lunch at the Birds in Hand pub. The crab I ordered were super yummy :))) and of course the bailey's cheesecake! All in all a w/e well spent, enjoyed the laughs at breakfast, the company and most of all the surprise from my dearest :). How can Nico ask for more :)))...Photos in my picasa album :)
It's 3 days to Nico turning a year older. I'd say I have been holding on to the 2010 luck quite well so far. The BF said when something is meant to be, they will just fit into your life. I guess it's quite true. When things are meant to happen, they just do. Plus, so far, there are a lot of changes in my life the first half of the year but at the same time these things trickle through slowly and I suppose it's a good thing as I also get the time to adapt to them. Although I am not looking forward to turning 28, I don't see why I should be depressed or complain about it either.
...now...need to move my ass and start packing again....what a dreadful task!
