The Trafford Centre

We went back to the Trafford Centre to day to return Amelie's dress which she didn't like and also gave Chien and I a chance to buy the various gifts to take back to Taiwan for the good people at my workplace and at Chien's too. Our main stop was at Thornton's, famous for their chocolates and sweets, and we bought a lot!

We had to ditch Amelie with my mum and grandparents so we could do the shopping. It was a bad thing to do, but it was the only way to sneak away while Amelie was occupied so that we could get the gift shopping down swiftly.

I also took the opportunity to take some pictures of the shopping centre, apparently one of the biggest in Europe. Amelie seemed to enjoyed the dolphin water fountain which squirted water at high pressure over two stories high!

Nothing to report really, just more shopping and more money spent :-p. No games for me a long time now!

Homeward Bound (For 2 Weeks)

We're setting off later this evening to UK for a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne again, not to mention to catch with friends and family and of course do a bit of driving! I haven't been driving for more than a year now since I have been in Taiwan, feels like my legs have gone! We're taking a lot pineapple cakes, which Taiwan is famous for, back to friends and family in UK, and some other gifts too. On the way back, we'll bring back all sorts of stuff to Taiwan, so another post on that when I get back. Not sure whether I'll be able to get online as often, but will try my best to keep my blog updated as much as possible while I am over in UK. My grand parents also arrived in UK from Hong Kong to attend my brother Jimmy's wedding. So time would probably be spent travelling around and take to places to see and have fun. Don't worry, as always, I'll be taking pictures! It will be Amelie's first time visit to UK

Goodbye P-100

I'm just going to upload the last ever set of photos from our loyal Sony P-100. I will update this post tomorrow. Yup, the Sony P-100 is a gonna. It ain't gonna rise from the ashes, this time... For now here are some photos taken today around Taipei using the Sony P-100 before the evening's accident, which involved Chien-yu, her foot and the hard marble floor we have in our room. We now got a good excuse to get a new, better digital camera. Its going to have to be a Sony one though, because I invested in a 1GB memory stick. Need to make use of that as much as I can! Sigh, money, money and more money.

Thank You Mother-in-Law

Thank you mother-in-law: - For taking my daughter to Tam Shui in the heavy rain, dragging her all around Tam Shui just to save you a few dollars. For coming back late, so that you can ruin my Chinese Father's Day and making me not have dinner with my daughter on this special day. For making me worried about where my daughter is whilst I was on my way home from work. For not informing us of where you went with my daughter in the first place. For making me miserable and unhappy on this special day. For making Chien-yu to take me to an all-you-can-eat restuarant for dinner because she thought she could cheer me up, when actually I would have been happier eating a cheap bento at home with my daughter on this special day. For making me go to the restuarant with Chien-yu and forcing me to see other families with their children on Father's Day, happily eating together while I sit there alone without my daughter Amelie. For making me stressed and angry at the same time, raising my alre
