Autumn Vacation // Scotland • London

|| Throwback to Autumn Vacation ||

It was a trip that I had been waiting for all the while, and it has been postponed a few times but finally fixed it on November. One thing about going vacation as a tour is that you don't have much free time, everything is scheduled, sometimes you only have 10 minutes to visit a place. That's why I chose to spend that limited time to take photos, at least those memories were captured down and I will be able to rewind back. I do believe that someday I will have the chance to revisit, and by that time it won't be in the rushing mood! *Promise*


Some of the photos taken during the trip :

** DAY 1 **


** DAY 2 **

A beautiful hall at University of Glasgow


Riverside Museum


** DAY 3 **

Stirling Castle
It was a beautiful weather, managed to captured the view with cloudy sky.
*Pretending the weather wasn't cold at all, in fact it was -2°c*


** DAY 4 **
Edinburgh Castle




Calton Hill (east end of Princess Street)
Instead of going for shopping, we decided to come up here for sunset, but I reached there late, so didn't manage to capture Edinburgh with blue sky.
I thought it would be difficult and far away from the place we were left for shopping, yet I found that it was just 5 minutes of walk away, and there are road signs which lead me uphill.

Sunset at Calton Hill
**captured by my phone, so the photo wasn't that clear*
You will be able to see Edinburgh in 360°, the view is amazing, totally worthwhile to walk up here.


Dugald Stewart Monument



** DAY 5 **
Regent Street.
Transferred from Edinburgh to London by train and spent the afternoon for shopping spree.
This is the street where you feel it is already Christmas !


** DAY 6 **
Hyde Park.
Sneak out to take some photos in the park while the others were shopping at Oxford Street.
I would assume it as maple leaf, always dreaming of myself  taking a walk in a park full of this type of leaves, and dream finally come true.
I was like a happy kid playing with the leaves, felt so autumn ~

The colours are just nice that you don't even need to edit the photos.


~ Continue on the shopping spree after that, too bad that I wasn't able to visit the Winter Wonderland ~

Oxford Street.
Super crowded due to Black Friday Sales.


** DAY 7 **
Somewhere in National Motor Museum (Beaulieu) where I find that it is more attractive.


** DAY 8 **
London checked 
Big Ben from a far view, the weather was kinda hazy on that day, photos didn't turn out nice.

London Eye.




Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.

London Tower Bridge.
**伦敦塔桥 伦敦大桥 傻傻分不清楚; 长大后才知道原来他们是不一样的**


** DAY 9 **

Had some free time to shop in Harrods before going home.

Felt like I was in heaven when I stepped in to this department, it is chocolate everywhere! ♥.
















The end of my 10 days 7 nights trip. 
Till here then.

Hey 2016 ❣

It's almost been a year back since my last update. Time flies!

My blogging mood suddenly came out of nowhere, so I'm here to blog about my life in 2015.

Decided to join a small company during peak period last year, while studying for ACCA. Yupp, still not passing the exam after a few attempts, YET. There are some times that I thought of giving up when I feel hopeless for passing the exam, but at the same time I feel wasteful for giving up like this as I had already put so much effort and time on this. So let's pray really hard and hope I could pass this time *finger crossed*

Some flashback memories of my life in 2015 :


January & February
Attended Jim's birthday celebration, celebrated Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year! 
Not to forget catching up with friends and paid a visit to Kek Lok Si Temple. 
And I had my hair coloured in red to get ready for CNY! Pretty daring choice I made but it fade too quick.

March & April
My second visit to Penang Hill after all these years, everything is different now, I can't even find anything that could match with those in my old days memory.
Attended my friends' convocation in April, and wondering when will be my turn?
I missed once for my advanced diploma, I don't want to (and will not) miss the last one for my ACCA! 



May to August
After hesitating for months, I finally had my fringe cut, felt like I was acting as a teenager at the age of 16? *chuckle* Anyway, I did not regret for the decision though it made my skin condition turned bad.
These are the months that were full of celebrations ❣
Surprise during the anniversary celebration, and had birthday celebration with Theng and Shannie as well. Not forgetting to mention the little getaway to Cameron after exam (PS: my second visit too!)


August & September
The moments with colleagues.
  • Just one month after my getaway to Cameron, my company organized another one day trip to Cameron, and I get to continue my visit to some other sites which I missed in my previous visit.
  • Attended company annual dinner a day before my BKK trip at "59 Dining room".



BKK Trip in September
A long-waited trip with BFF like finally! Had so much fun with them during that week, but I'll definitely be back soon! Cause I'm not done with the shopping yet! 
Look forward for another trip with BFF any time sooner?

November & December
Favourite month of the year! You would understand the reason from the photos right?


Overall, my 2015 isn't too bad, cause I have everything I want. Looking forward to have a better and wonderful 2016, and at least let me become a ACCA affiliate this year! *make a wish*

Hey 2016, please be good to me kay? I promise I'll continue to fight for what I want. Fighting !

A Two-day Getaway in Malacca | Day 2

Let me continue my food hunting journey with tons of photos again.

So, it is day 2 and we decided to stop at here, the Baba Charlie Nyonya Kuih (Cake). It's located at the small alley opposite the Masjid Tengkera. 



Remember to buy this ondeh-ondeh. It's a MUST BUY item. *thumbs up*

They sell very fresh and delicious kuih (cake), but it's advisable to buy the portion that you could finish within a day, else it's gonna be wasted. Trust me kay? I thought it's still okay to keep in the fridge for one day, but it turns out to taste differently.



Our next stop: Nadeje, a shop which is famous of the crepe cake.







Double chocolate crepe cake.

And the original flavour.

Hot chocolate for Xinli.

Spaghetti Bolognese for Shannie.

And Seafood Cabonara for me.




Next, it's time to pay a visit to the Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum.

The entrance fee costs RM12 for each person, but it is very worth for a visit as they will provide guided tours and it's gonna be fun.


The last stop before heading back to KL: The Jonker 88
As shown above, it is located at Jonker Street, and is well-known for its cendol ice-kacang.
It's a good sweet tooth to buy in this hot weather!


The cendol ice kacang!



So, this is the end of our food hunting journey. I'm looking forward to our next visit or trip perhaps?
