Daylight Saving

Today, we had a big joke. None of me and my housemate know that we suppose to switch the clock forward for 1 hour as it is going to be the starting of daylight saving time zone. Which in short, the time different between malaysia and UK now is 7 hour insteat of 8hr. Maybe everybody who stay in UK knows that, but for us...we totally have no idea, i know that we suppose to switch, but i dunno when.
Luckily, we decided to go to china town whereby all the restuarant for lunch. All the restaurant suppose to open for business at 12. When we arrive as our watch showing 11.15am, we saw all the restaurant were open for business. We finally confirm the correct date after asking the restaurant waitress :P
If we didn't go out this morning, we might end up reporting to work late tomorrow :)

Me in Barcelona :)















近况

最近在公司还蛮空闲的。常常想找人上网谈天,但大多数的朋友都不在线上
:( , 好失望哦!
还剩下一个星期 的工作时间, 就可以回家放假咯,好兴奋哦!!
但是一想到 假期后要一个人 回来伦敦开始新的工作, 新环境 和新人事,心里不自然的冒起了一点 的 惆张。。。。
不喜欢这种过渡期的感觉, 很无助, 但又必须自己一个人去面对!
希望这个选择是对的。。。
秉着年轻不留白的信念, 再给自己两年的时间去闯一闯吧!
希望一切的牺牲都是值得的 啦!

Some other Shots

Our Barcelona Hotel


Glass Sky Brige linking 2 buildings, scary le cos we are staying at 21st floor

Swimming pool
Lobby
Since we are too focus on our previous switzerland, we forgot to book our barcelona earlier. By the time we reliase that we need to book the room, it was too late, most of the budget hotel was been fully booked.
We then came across this Lastminute.com website whereby u can purchase anything in last minute! They offer something call Secret Hotel. They show u the hotel location, nearest station and the star grade, but they will not reviewd the hotel name until u pay. But by doing this, we get at least 40% discount from the hotel walk in rate. We bet our luck and book one of the available hotel. It turn out to be about 60% off from the normal hotel price and we are going to stay in a 4star hotel by paying 40pound per person per night. (Normally, our europe trip hotel budget is 20 to 30 pound per night).
This hotel is about 10 minutes tube journey from barcelona center and next to it is a very big shopping mall where get can get food and shopping!!! (hihihi..very very big Zara shop and we shop half of the day there :P)
Moreover, the hotel have sauna, jaccuzzi, swimming pool and gym. We went to refresh ourself in sauna after a day of tired walk but unfortunely we didn't bring along swimming suit :)
It is very convenient and safe location. Highly recommended to stay next time, provided u get 60% discount la, if not, it will be too expensive liao :P
