Need some luck over here

This is the time of the year where I will be having my exam, the two-days bi-annually proficiency test that I have to undergo throughout of my entire career. It has shifted from every January and July to March and September, for the next twelve to twenty four months at least, as I had my lateral promotion recently. No payrise tho. Really...

Now, I'm less than 4 hours away from this twice a year exam. Having done it for the last 11 years or so, I still have a cold feet whenever the exam comes. It's an exam for godness sake. I would be lying if I said that I don't have one :p This time it would be a little bit different because it will be for a different plane, which I am not very used to. Honestly.

I always tell myself that "How difficult can it be?" just to calm myself down. Allright, better get back to what I am supposed to do. Revise. Talk to you soon. Take care...

And wish me luck. Thanks



ps: was a great weekend as it supposed to be

pss: do you talk to yourself? like pep talk

Show off

That's the favourite quote that has been thrown at me this whole month.

At the moment I'm enjoying my honeymoon. February 2013 is a wonder to me so far. Out of 28 days, my employer let me spend 22 at home. How is that? The girl that I am dating was saying

"You're like a full time bummer. And unlike everybody else, when you need a holiday, you go to work..."

I am not complaining :) That is a bless. Alhamdulillah. Amin...
And when March come, I will be trashed to work to the limit.



ps: renewed two licenses this week. a driving and a flying

pss: miss m please update your blogger's timezone

psss: i need a real holiday. not! ;p

Boat

I always have this thing for anything that has got to do with a boat. Be it sailing, rowing or even punting. Boat really excites me.

Back in summer 2011, when I was dating this one lovely girl, she invited me to go punting. I was very overwhelmed and of course she doesn't know about this. But it was in somewhere really really far and I just couldn't make. Plus it was Ramadan. Maybe I was just making excuses. I don't know.

When I think about it again, I should have gone. Well it is punting. No girl has ever or will ever invite me to go punting. And I think it would be a fairytale for a girl to go punt on a date ;p Well my darling sweetie, I will go on that punting date if you give me that chance again.



ps: this year's 159th boat race will be on march 31st. flagging off at 430pm. i will arrange to be there

pss: happy v day. never get a chance to celebrate it. literally never

I'm guessing this one is pretty small

China Town London

Every big city has their own China Town and Little India.

Unlike American cities, European metropolitans are likely to have a Little India compare to a China Town. My theory, this is maybe due to the geographical reason. The migration during the World War 1. India, being nearer to Europe and China being closer to America.

Despite having been visiting London almost every fortnightly or so for I-don't-know-how-many-times, I never been to its China Town until early this week, where I was invited by a colleague and his brother in-law to join them for a lunch.

In fact, I never been to any China Town anywhere outside the country where I live. And I have to say that contrary to the general believe, this China Town is clean. Very clean indeed.

As I did not spend much time there, it would be wrong for me to say a lot about this particular place. But I heard that there's a good barber on Gerrard St if you need a hair cut hehe.

Till then, Happy Chinese New Year :)
Have a good one. Travel safe!



ps: no ang pow for me as usual ;p

February

It's already February. This is a pretty awesome month because it has only 28 days, 29 on a leap year. And this make days between pay day in February and March is shorter by a few days comparatively to any other month of the year. Small things like this excites me. Strange! Haha
