Summer in Greenwich Park

I don't have the slightest clue on where or how to start this post. Just realised after I had a question from a friend who asked about my blog, what was the most recent post; and I just smiled sheepishly and thought, oh yes it had been a while since I posted anything. Summer is halfway and it's been lovely with plenty of friends and family visiting London all the way from Malaysia.

This picture below was taken in Greenwich park and I thought it was really lovely over there, well rather unusual with the gold fields as compared to the usual lush greenery, due to the heat wave that we had in the past couple of weeks. I am quite pleased that the weather has started to cool down a little bit, more inclined to explore various parts of London and will be updating my blog more frequent so stay tuned!!

A view from the hill, looking towards to London's financial centre- Canary Wharf. That's where we live at the moment. 

Hong Kong, China Part 1

An old post which I forgot to click "publish" button. A trip to Hong Kong with mum and some friends during my long career break sometime in April 2009.

A job finally!

It has been a whirlwind week and plenty of good news towards the end of the week, just in time to celebrate the bank holiday weekend in Nottingham with the family and my closest friends here. I am really pleased how things have turned out finally. The picture above was taken in my mum-in law's garden and this little flowers growing by the side of the rocks just caught my eyes and I thought it was absolutely beautiful and this is how I feel right now.

We had our wedding party-BBQ here in Nottingham to do something for some relatives and friends here in England in between our civil wedding last year and the second part of the wedding in Malaysia which will be held in August this year. Everyone had fun and plenty of food, I enjoyed it really except for the freezing bit. Who would have thought you needed scarf, gloves, big jackets and a pair of Ugg boots for a BBQ?? Well, I didn't have any proper winter wear with me, anticipating a lot of sun and some heat. I was wrong so I ended up freezing the whole time! I had a great time catching up and spending time with my good friends and it is always great to be able to see them!!

Looks like I will be hanging around in London for a bit now, especially after accepting a brilliant job offer from a very large company. I am pleased, excited and just overwhelmed at such a great opportunity. I don't have much details yet, hopefully everything will come through next week.

Cheers!

Is it just more than a pretty sight in London?

Amazing blend of colours in the sky, view from our living room.

Beautiful hues in the sky

I have plenty of time, too much of time sometimes that I think too much. Wonderful photos taken from our flat; felt like I am trying to prove some point or to convince myself that I should give London a try. Is London the right choice for us?? Is this really worth it? Of course it is not as simple as some pretty picture, but actually living here. I still have not given up on my ultimate plan of settling back in Malaysia. Everyday I get more and more convinced that home should be Malaysia and no other place is close enough to call home. After the dark depressing winter, spring has come and beautiful weather also brings in more good news; I have been offered a job and am gladly accepting the offer! Will be starting work next month and it has been a long time since waking up at eight in the morning and work, work, work. I feel excited and nervous at the same time, all jumbled up inside me. I'll give London a try, well I don't have much to lose, do I? :)

Cheers people!

Spring weather at the weekend in London

A visit to the Hummingbird Bakery in Soho, London. We stopped by for tea, cup of cappuccino and a red velvet cupcake! It was really good. We loved it so much that we ended up baking them Hummingbird cupcakes and peanut butter cookies at the following weekend. Thanks to Feli for recommending this place to us. :))

After getting our Lion King theatre tickets, we walked down on the Waterloo bridge and took a couple of photos. Beautiful weather!
