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.

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.

Another Day Of Rest

We spent another day of resting since Amelie and Chien-yu have started to feel ill. Its not been good since we came back with all the hacking coughs and runny noses. Its a lot cooler than it is in Taiwan. Today's highest reading was a mere 20 degress celsius. Even with the cooler weather, we still decided to go for a car ride. We set off in the morning making a pit-stop at Asda, a local supermarket to buy some Camaline lotion for Amelie. She seemed to have developed a rash on her skin and has been scratching a lot. So this Camaline stuff should ease her itchiness until he cold symtons are gone. From there, we took the road which lead us pass my old secondary high school, Stamford High School and my college, Ashton Sixth Form College. Many things has changed at both education institutes, with additional buildings and new paintwork around the buildings. I also spotted that a lot more house are being developed in the area. Ashton has certainly changed a lot since I last reme...
