cold and wet

yes this is an update of my life.

got into last week and work has turned a little insane over the week. now am on my official holiday. moved from the office-booked Airbnb to my own holiday Airbnb just yesterday afternoon. as there was a weird gap between the check-out and check-in time, i decided to walk about 5km in the cold and wet weather. thankfully the rain here isn't annoyingly heavy.. usually similar to the case of drizzle/shower in Singapore.

nonetheless, here i am ready to be all tourist in my final week in the UK. hoping that the weather will be good for me to explore the man many places i intend to explore. things here are really expensive.. but i guess given i don't come here often, i shall ignore that fact that i am spending quite a lot a little. of course will be hoping to be back someday soon. until next time then, cheers.

to London

yes this is an update of my life.

two weeks literally flew by and my time in Cambridge is up.. heading to London tomorrow morning. through the past couple of weeks i guess i did really made full use of my time there.. exploring numerous colleges and trying at food places that i have roughly planned.

the peace and quiet here is really much appreciated though i was warned by my colleagues that this atmosphere might be quite different in London. well, not that i mind.. i just only hope for a good weather throughout my stay in London, with not too many wet days especially on days i will be dragging all my bags around. until next time then, cheers.

the chill

yes this is an update of my life.

today woke up with a feeling of extreme chill. checked the maps and it says outside was 6 degrees.. didn't believe it at first since it was 10+ in the past few days. well things got interesting when i stepped out and made my way to work. it was indeed much colder today. lesson: trust Google.

the chill aside, today was a work day of unique schedule.. 90% of my time in meetings. had an interesting strategy meeting as well. quite productive i would say. managed to get some of my initiatives pushed forward as well. however, that would mean slightly more work in the weeks/months to come. apart from that, i too am taking another leap of faith into some management stuff.. no, unfortunately not a promotion but rather extra responsibility. wonder how this will work out though. time will tell.

time really flies. it feels as though i just came to the UK for my work/leisure trip but in fact i am almost halfway through already. nonetheless i think i am still making full use of my time so far. still more exciting things to do and places to explore in the coming couple of weeks. until next time then, cheers.
