Back Home - Two Months On

Sorry for the lack of updates, just had been busy settling in. You might think "huh? settling in? I thought you just coming back home?"

Yes and no. Its been almost 3 years, and a lot of things has changed back home. First the roads have changed and I haven't been driving for 3 years, so I'm a little rusty on the roads. Secondly, loads of new buildings have sprung out of nowhere, so the scenery needs a little getting used to.

The only think which hasn't changed are the damn neighbours. Bunch of free-loading wankers...thats another story.

Have been taking a lot of photos recently, but I will show some nice sky ones, because that is one thing I missed when I was away from home.

Other things dones since we been back:

1. Found (2) schools who will accept Amelie for nursery.
2. Bought another car, 56 plate, Mazda2 Capella 1.4, black, 6000 miles, only £4750.
3. Sorted out the home for work.
4. Eat loads of dim-sum.
5. Became an uncle a few days ago. Congrats to Jimmy and Caroline.
6. Had gout attack and bone spurs, so could walk for a couple of weeks.
7. Got a new HP printer for photos and stuff, nice.
8. Invited to Kalps wedding.
9. Getting more sleep.

Thats it for now. If anything interesting I can think off, I will sure to post here.

Hope everyone in Taiwan is fine. I do miss you guys and gals!

Until next time.

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Its been a while!

Hey all, sorry, had been away for so long. Sometimes have so many things going on and so many thoughts, not sure what to write. Life update is that we've moved out of the in-laws place, and renting an apartment in the city. It's not brand new. No lifts, and we live on the top floor, but it's my home now. Just recently been in hospital for stomach ulcers causing internal bleeding. Nightmare, when you wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 4 days. But I'm back home now, but only this morning, I discovered I now have a gout attack. FML. Anyway, life continues to surprise or annoy me in new and fascinating ways. Mimi is still with us by the way, always staying loyal and guarding. Until next time.

Homeward Bound

Hello again, thought I'd give an update of what's going on in my mundane life. After chatting with my wife, We will be moving back to my parents's home in Manchester (well Ashon-under-Lyne to be precise). We feel it would be better for her to have people around like our friends and family should anything happen. Plus I get to hang out with my friends again! As with my work, I will still be working at my current job in London. The plan is that I will be travelling to London to work in the office for three days (Tuesday to Thrusday) and work from home in Manchester for the other two days. I felt it was a good compromise, and I'll get something back for the travel and accommodation costs (some but not all), plus I'll will be stilling working and earning the dough. Now we're in the middle of putting stuff in boxes ready for the big move in mid-June. Dug out a lot of stuff that we don't need, so we'll be holding a car boot sale to make some ca...
