Whatever will be, will be...

Captain C has left United Nations Pirate Ship to be with his Kawaii girl friend.
Captain C has always been a good leader and friend. He is dependable as a leader and fun to hang around with as friend. For 3 1/2 years, I don't remember seeing him throw his temper to anyone.
As a leader, he almost scored perfect.
Now that he's gone, everybody is feeling lost. The first day without him, I've already received messages from other crews telling me they miss him.

The ship is going to be headed by 大长今. So far she has been quite a nice and gentle person.
What worries us is the influence Obasan 长今 has on 大长今.

Are we going to be a 长今 colony, or we will continue to lead a happy life on board?
Let's wait and see..

天涯海角

好几年前看过一部香港电影叫“天涯海角”。患有血癌的女主角在人生的最后来到了“天涯海角”。 看过这部电影的人或许跟当时的我一样很想去一趟“天涯海角”。幻想那是一件多么浪漫的事。
有多少人会记得年少时许下的无数痴狂的梦？
前几天读了杂志-姐妹才知道原来剧中的“天涯海角”就是苏格兰的Isle of Skye。
我到了Skye却不知道自己就在“天涯海角”…

P/S 即使没有电影，Skye也绝对是一个令人陶醉的小岛…

My Long Vacation - Part II

Ok, after almost 1/2 month, here I am again to share something to you about my journey to Europe.

The weather wasn't very good when we were in Scotland. It was all rain for the first two days. On the third day morning, my mood was as gloomy as the weather when our B&B host told us that according to weather forecast, the weather wouldn't get any better. However, I guess lady luck just wouldn't want us to miss the beauty of Skye. When we came out from Dunvegan Castle, the sun was warm and the sky was clear.

This is one of my favourite views throughout the journey. Loch Dunvegan, where Dunvegan Castle stands.

The weather forecast was wrong for the day we were in Skye but was quite right for the rest of our journey in Scotland.

This is the view of Royal Mile, Edinburgh from the window of Starbucks cafe. We were all wet on our way up to Edinburgh Castle dued to heavy rain we decided to get a cup of hot coffee/tea at Starbuck after the visit to the castle, and at the meantime tried to get our clothes and shoes dried.

Good Luck!

It seems like some changes are going to take place in the Animal Farm. For better or worse, I just hope that my conrads working in the farm will be able to think smart and make good decisions.
Good Luck!

Bad Day

Miss Bong, Koon and I travelled to KL for PS's wedding. It started with big bus and lorry jam at Tuas and ended with long wait at Puduraya.

The return journey was especially horrible. Puduraya doesn't seem to change a bit ever since don't know how many decades ago. It's still hot, crowded and smoker friendly.

We bought the 2:30 pm tickets but waited for 1.5 hours before the bus finally showed up.

Just look at Miss Bong's face (if you can find her) and you will know how we felt...

The worst's yet to come. When we boarded the bus, someone else had taken our seats. Apparently the bus company oversold the tickets. It again took us some time to bring the lady who sold us the tickets to the bus and negotiate with the bus driver to let us have our seats we so well deserved after the long wait. Finally, we got our seats. But the oil leaking from the top of the bus worried us. The driver couldn't explain the oil, nor could he get rid of the oil. It just kept leaking and we just kept sucking in smelly air and thinking what might happen to the bus, and us. (I know it's silly)
Of course we reached Singapore safely but I don't think I will wanna travel to by bus anymore.

There's good thing though. I bought this cute pants from a very helpful Thai, and I am so glad that R san likes it. Hehe...

My Long Vacation

The first day I reached Scotland, I felt so sick I thought I might have to come back to Singapore the next day. However, the 17 days flies, fying, flew, flown and I have already back for one week. I have I can share with everyone all my experiences but I don't think there is any where I can load 10 GBs of photo.

This is one of the most expensive meal I had in Scotland. The restaurant is just beside Loch Fyne http://www.lochfyne.com/. We were on our way to Glencoe but took a wrong turn and end up here. The crab soup was so so so creamy and rich... yum....

This is view of Loch Evite and Glen Etive at the end of the road after almost one hour drive with don't know how many twists and turns.

This is view from main road toward the B&B we stayed in Isle of Skye, and Loch Greshornish which I faced first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

The sun rises as early as 5AM and sets only around 9:30PM. R and I would be sitting near our room's window, organising our trip the next day while waiting for the sun to set....

This is view of mysterious Loch Ness and ruin of Urquhart Castle. Though I didn't have the luck to meet with Nessie, the perfect views of bluish Loch Ness from every corner of the castle just made the short trip equally fulfilling.

TO BE CONTINUE....

Spring~~

Spring is a season to do housekeeping. See what R found in his ear. The photo might be a bit blur, but take a close look, it's a carcass of an ant.










Spring is a season to loves. See what I've captured outside my window. Two lovey dovey pigeon. They really "do the do" after I have taken this photo. Too bad I didn't manage to catch them in action. My camera was too slow and their actions were just too fast.

Spring is a season to get out of Singapore. Let me see... Raf has already flown to Paris. I am leaving coming wednesday. Asoh and her L Theory will be heading to Taiwan right after me. And Big Bro and Samuel will be visitng Japan soon after I return.
So who else?
