Entrance of the Ferris Wheel

Since some suddent arrangement came out. We will have to make use of the time we have now to visit as much places as we can together. We decided to go to Lille, which is the 4th biggest city in France. Its 1.5 hr train journy from london. We arrived Lille at 11am and have a wonderful lunch. I really wish we could have lots more time to explore the Europe togehter.

Oxford Trip 6th Jan 2008

Someone Jump?? Falls?? down the Train track?

Today, i suppose to attend a presentation at Notting Hill Gate (ya, the place they shoot the movie , the Notting Hill Gate). Presentation regarding " How to select a Control Valve for servere Service". So Me and a few colleagues left the office at 530pm right after work and hoping to arrive early in order to grad some sandwiches and wine. When we arrive to the Hammersmith station, it was abnormally crowded and we were be informed that the service has to be suspended due to someone under the track. I dunno whether they mean someone actually falls under the track and being hit by the train ??? So, we got no way to move and decided to take a bus. We squeeze ourself up to the bus station which right above the tube station, it was packed too!!! When the bus arrived, one of my collegue manage to jump up to the bus and the bus driver close to the door....So we will have to left him go alone. The rest of us just decided to go home since the presentation will had been started by the time we arrive.
I try to catch a bus to go home but it was too many ppl....
finally..i decided to walk home :)
The journey took less then 20 mins but i stop by a fast food store to grab 2 pieces of fried chicken in order to re-gain my energy to walk back :P
I hope the train service will be back by tomorrow bcos we already brought our ticket to watch " The Phantom Of The Opera" at Picaddily Tomorrow 730pm.

Fruity Gelato
Cute display of Bread
Not to forget, the Tiramisu

Bread everyway..Hard and cold
The Panini (Rolled Bread)

Hornestly speaking, I didn't find the food delicious in italy, maybe we went to the wrong retaurant or maybe our budget is not enough to taste the good food. General impression is just pasta and bread. And I am not a fans of bread :(

Cute Stuff

Cute little Goldfish from water tap
Ya, its cute, look at the price tag....even more CUTE!!

Colourful Murano Glass Christmas Tree

One of the famous production from Venice is Murano Glass. It was so colourful!!

The Mask

Venice is so famous of the mask as they have a very big street carnival yearly where people dress up with various type of mask and celebrate. I love those mask!! but it was too expensive to buy and difficult to carry back with me. So, just enjoy the photos...
