MY FIRST BLUNDER WITH ONLINE BOOKING! My sisters and I went to the Genting office in Ipoh to book a room but unfortunately, the rooms were fully booked. In the office itself, I logged in to my usual booking.com to check using my iPhone and to our delight, there were available rooms in Resorts...

HAPPY MOMENTS PASSES BY VERY FAST AND SOON IT IS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE... Sounds familiar? Yes, it is time to bade goodbye after a 25 days vacation in UK. If not for my girl whose semester break has ended, I would have stayed longer... perhaps for another month or two... hahahaha... By then, any...

REACHED ABERDEEN RIGHT ON TIME IN THE EVENING... So nice of Mr. Moh to fetch us from the airport and straight to his guesthouse for dinner! The superb aroma of the food reached our nostrils even before we reached the kitchen. Mary, as usual, had her hands full in the kitchen, she is a super...

On the 10th day at 10am, we checked out from our Easy Hotel at Old Street, took a 6 minute to the tube station and soon, we were on our way to the Heathrow...
A ROUND UP ON THE LAST DAY IN LONDON... We really made full use of our day, from Camden Market in the morning, then to Buckingham Palace, St James Park, Westminster Abbey and our walk continued on to Big Ben and lastly to London Bridge! Throughout my life, I think I had not walked so much before...
SINCE IT WAS OUR LAST DAY IN LONDON, we wanted to cover as much as we could... and so our walk continued on from St. James Park to Westminster Abbey.... and one famous icon that Aaron mentioned we must take a picture like this.... below....Iconic scene of London....Must not leave London without taking...
FROM THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE, we walked to St. James Park which is nearby. First thing first, we looked for the restroom and we have to fork out 20 pence to use them. Well, we do not mind paying as long as the toilets are well kept and clean and that was exactly what they are. With the hot...
FROM CAMDEN MARKET, WE ADJOURNED VIA SUBWAY TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE... Another one place I have visited since the 1980s! I could still remember the Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park.... nothing much has changed and since it was a Sunday, the roads were closed from cars and it was a very long walk for the...

IT WAS RAINING QUITE HEAVILY after our hearty Dim Sum brunch in Chinatown. Initially our itinerary was to go to Camden Lock Market but it would no fun walking in the rain, according to Aaron. The stalls would not be opened too... so we changed to Plan B. First thing, we need shelter to...
SECOND MORNING IN LONDON WAS SPENT IN CHINATOWN AGAIN! It was recommended that we must taste the Hongkong Dim Sum in Chinatown while we were here. So once again, we took the subway from Old Street to Leicester Square where the Chinatown is. We were pretty excited to see what they have in...

FROM COVENT GARDEN, WE CONTINUED ON OUR SIGHTSEEING TO TRAFALGAR SQUARE.... Did we walk or did we not? I could not remember but I think we did.. Walking in the cooling weather is not a problem unless we were not warmly clothed. Weather in London was very nice and cooling unlike Aberdeen which is...
AFTER A GOOD NIGHT REST, our first morning in London started off by taking a subway to Chinatown! The last time I went there was in the 1980s! Don't count how many years, just too many years ago and I could not remember much at all actually. I could only remember one thing though, food!
THE VERY NEXT DAY, WE HAVE TO CHECK OUT BEFORE 10AM from the IBIS hotel in Cardiff. Without taking any breakfast, we loaded our stuff into our rented car and drove to my friend's restaurant The Crispy Duck for an early lunch. Unfortunately it was not opened when we arrived, it opens at noon each...
AS WE STROLLED ALONG THE BATH CITY, we came across the beautiful sights of River Avon and spent some moments there including a light lunch at a pub restaurant overlooking the folds of the river.... Then we proceeded on our walk around the city including the Bath market and Aaron directed us to a place...
ON THE THIRD DAY, Aaron drove to Bath, it was more than an hour drive from Cardiff. Though the journey took more than one and half hours from Cardiff, Aaron preferred to stay in Cardiff so that we do not have to pack and go from one place to another. It can be very "stressful" for the mother to...
