Recent Lap Top Break Down

Dear All,
So sorry for not being to update my blog for so long. My laptop just went hang last week and I was so afraid of loosing all my photos in my hardisk (shd had done back up for it!!)
After a few days of trying, now only back to normal (finger cross) without formatting the hardisk!
Time to do some update about myself…
Ehm…what had I been b4 after coming back from france trip huh??
Ohohoh, I went to Leeds-York-Nottingham in Mid July.
Going back to Nottingham to see my old place!!!!
(again, for those who dunno, I used to study college in Nottingham in 1995/6)
So I go back to my old college, old house to have a look….. all the old memories…….
Went also to Leeds to visit my friend’s university! Old building with red bricks and ivy is typical picture of Leeds (for those who same age as me, still remember the University of Leeds Picture showing in the UCAS book???)
That’s where I get the idea of how Leeds look like and to be honest, I think those who study there is very lucky to have such a nice environment where I always wish to!
We were there just on the graduation day! Seriously, I never attended graduation b4…(cos I was away to work during my university graduation day) so it is kind of an experience to walk inside the campus with those grads and family taking pictures!
Nice nice nice except it was a rainy day……
Later on, we rush to York (another historical town) and visited the national railway museum…
Will post photos to share later! They even had a shinkansen bullet train donated from japan and the first royal train in England !
Interesting to see all the old machines and interior!
After that we drive to A friend house in Nottingham to tumpang for 2 night!
She serve us delicious Sarawak laksa!!!!!!
Those who never try Sarawak laksa b4, fast fast go n try!
Really delicious lo!
The next morning, we drive to Peak district to walk around mountain and reservoir. And had a extremely dai Chinese/Japanese buffet dinner at Nottingham town (only £12.99pp) buffet !!!!!! eat till I cannot walk!!! muahahahahaha

Cataract

Dad has been complaining about poor vision for so long.
He always blame that the glasses is out of power.
As a daughter, I didn’t pay much attention on that until last yr brother’s wedding, we took sometime to bring dad to get a new pair of glasses. The optician told us that dad has cataract problem and glasses cant help at all.
Dad’s hobby is reading newspaper and watch news, by seeing him struggling to read news paper and tv, we encourage him to undergo the operation. But u know ler, old man resist on operation kind of concept and always try to drag.
Recently, after talking to an uncle who just undergo the laser treatment, sister took some time off to bring dad for checking and he finally undergo the treatment last friday.
The first thing I hear from dad when I call back, dad sounds so impressed and happy, claiming that he never know that our new LCD TV is that clear and the car he brought 10 yrs ago look much newer now! Everything is so clear that he can see mom’s white hair the first time (ehm….it does sound abit sad here as they both getting older liao….)
He says it is like a re-born to see the clear world! I am so glad he finally decided to take the treatment!
Now he can spends hours reading newspaper and to admire the beauty of the world.
I am so happy for u dad! And proud of u for being successfully stop smoking after more than 60 yrs of smoking!

Do u have ‘cataract’ in ur eye that block ur vision? Stops u seeing the beauty of the world?
Pls be brave to treat it !
Don’t drag!
Appreciate the beauty of life, the caring u received and the love u had not until the day u lost it.
