Great "Sun"day Out !!

As part of exploring Wiltshire, we went online and found a place called "Hungerford". It is about 30 minutes drive from Swindon town center. There is a lovely canal for walking. I guess the canal walk leads to Malborough.

Hungerford - Lower Denford

Kennet and Avon Canal

Chekantastic Signature Jump!


After "Jalan" then have to "Makan" ("eat"). 

Decided to dine at AskItalian at Swindon

Sea bass for main

Gondola looking Gelato

Eton Mess dessert. The highlight ofthe day

We are happy with the service and quality food. More important, it is in great value, especially the 2 for 1 offer on Tastecard.

After "Makan" then have to just "Relax". 


This is a not a film for me as am not a big fan of Japanese Manga or Sci-fi. We found a man was still in his beauty sleep when the movie finished. Well, that tells something ;) Again, with TasteCard+, we get 40% off for the movie tickets which is pretty nice.

All and all, a great Sunday and hope many returns :)

Appreciation

Last day of part time Saturday teaching for this semester. Received a little surprise from students :)
First, a student baked some cupcakes for us, followed by the surprising appreciation tokens.




Back to writing

2016 has been a fruitful and yet busy year. Like Chinese saying, I am very busy (忙),but I am not blind (盲)。However, during the whole process, I realised that I have given up a lot of things that I like to do, e.g. writing or more precisely, blogging.

The world has changed these days with various political uncertainties. PS: Blogging is a type of writing that I don't need to follow proper academic style lol. I do feel that life is really short and I ought to precious the time I have. I do realise like most successful people would say "no pain no gain". However, does that mean I will have to sacrifice everything I like to do whilst in the process of gaining?

Hence, I have decided to pick up my hobby again. And I would like to make it slightly different. My current job has taught me a lot especially how to maintain a high emotional intelligence at all times. In addition, I feel the world could be much better if there are less of the negative energies e.g. hate, selfishness, etc. Wouldn't it be better if the world is full with laughter and happiness?

Here you go, my first post after not writing for a while. A slow jog in the sunny weather. It is not the first time I saw the ponies, still I just feel they are very cute :)
