I must have a bloody lot of time

Am not picking up the British accent. Just want to use bloody for once. Hihi.

I like American accent. They sound nice,sweeter or maybe that just because used to live in Nashville.

I have one bone to pick against these Brits. They don't know how to have good breakfast.

Alright,maybe I was spoiled but back in the States it was pancakes with maple syrup,waffle, fresh fruits, cheesy hashbrown,eggs, omelet and french toast. And don't start on me on the different variation of pancakes! The melting chocolate or my favorite strawberry crepe..Yummy.

Here it's like baked beans, sunny egg, baked tomatoes, baked potatoes. They really love everything that is baked.

And they don't have lunch hour like the US do. I LOVE calling Chinese delivery to have their lunch menu. Here all the take-away or delivery starts at 5pm. Do you know people need to eat at LUNCH?

Right but am not here to bitch about food.

Moving on, I said I was going to have adventure right? Went to Liverpool last week. Tag along with a bunch of French student to have cheaper group tickets.

I know right? I always get into very funny things. Problem is they really can't speak English and I really don't know French except oui, bonjour and Champ de Elysees. And the funny thing is back when I was planning all my road trip previously I was so meticulous even coming up with excel spread sheet for the itinerary.Now I just google what is the street name,read wiki and just punch in the postcode.

The next day I was supposed to go to Manchester Food Festival but evil shopping lure me away at Old Trafford. I got myself a Longchamp bag. A bit extravagant since I wasn't planning but what the heck, it is the month of my birthday and I am going to splurge on myself. *pat to myself*


p/s: If you're looking for picture of me with any football stadium, you can forget it. I decide to forgo about it and do UK tour the way I like it which means museum, random stuff, walking, eating and stopping by whatever cafe that smells the best and getting seat by the window

Not meeting Mr Darcy

I'm a romantic you know.

While my friends went for the latest action blockbuster, I will scurry away even if by myself to the latest chick flick( which is why I was sick missing Weda and Seri when they first graduated)

I saw Pride & Prejudice by myself while other watched King Kong and always think why can't I meet this Mr Darcy?

My current work bring me to extended time away from Malaysia alone by myself.I have to find things to do so I won't go crazy. Binging in hotel watching tv doesn't sound good or look good.

Currently, I'm in UK and will be here for a month at least and it was crazy but I just HAD to go to Chatsworth House. I mean heck if I am going to spend myself in the country of Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice I have to go this place.Some people go stadium tour and some go the path of regency era.

It was crazy driving by myself down the country road, with the mist and rain and I can tell you it is exactly what I imagine England would be.

Of course I did not meet Mr Darcy. But it was fun reliving those scenes. It'll be silly if I told you which scenes but remember those figure in the room where she catches a glimpse of Mr Darcy, those almost kissing scene
at the fountain after Sunday summon? No? Oh well, I did.

On Sunday, I just figure out I'll stick to Chester itself and found myself following a group of Japanese tourist with their tour guide.

So yeah, in UK following a tour guide who speaks Japanese. Go figure. I don't know how to say this but if you spent enough time listening to others in other language you picked up the language. I did. I get enough gist of what they are saying.

It was reassuring. They remind me of old work place which I miss. I was lonely you can tell at this point.

I don't really know what I am doing. I do know that I have to do the best but sometimes it takes a toll on myself. On some days, I can really tell how unhappy I am. On some day, I get through and not think too much of it.

I do know that if you're unhappy you should not settle. But thinking of great people that I work with (my suppliers) and the look that they have, we have when we get things done is so precious that I feel that I shouldn't quit. That I would let them down.


I am not sure what I'll be doing this weekend, but it sure will be some adventure.
