bugis street brasserie

On 20th, We took 4 hours' cab from Bethany to Nottingham. Lorraine met us at the registration point. Winki & Wenbang just live in the 2 blocks side by side. One Hollies and one Rowans. We had dinner at a Chinese restaurant nearby. Min stayed there and I stayed with Lorraine at the Britannia. There are 3 boys from Mainland China and 1 English boy with Wenbang. Nottingham has a population of 33,000 students and about 4,ooo staff. Double that of Surrey, more or less.

On the 21st, Lorraine and I had breakfast at a small restaurant called The Bank. Min joined us later. We took a walk at the city centre. My loving sis bought 2 traveller bags, made in France, one beige for me and one bluejeans for herself. Thrilled to have the gift. Lorraine bought a frill scarf from Marks & Spencer but found the hairs falling. So she returned it and got refunded. The system is good. However, there must be people who abuse it, say, girls after wearing the gowns and dresses in balls & parties return them for full refund.

We had lunch again in a Chinese restaurant. Dim sum and roast pork/char siu. We are hopelessly fond of Chinese food.

Another 4 hours' coach back to the Victoria Station. Cab back to Copthorne Tara. Dinner at the Bugis Street - a restaurant in the hotel providing Singaporean and Malaysian food. We had Hainan chicken rice, Singaporean laksa and stir-fried vegetables with shrimp paste.

Lorraine took underground for Heathrow.

I woke up early this morning washing clothes. Another day in London. See what we will have.

Cool! I am blogging in Min's MacBook Pro.

My prayer for family members and those whom I care for.

Anis b knows to mutter dad-dad and mama but Van thinks she does not know the meaning nor identity of parents yet. I miss Baby.
