Leona Lewis: Bleeding Love

When I initially hear this song, I thought it was just okay but it seems that I'm really loving it now!

Whenever I hear this song, it somewhat reminds me of Oxford Street. Leona sang live and I can't believe I missed that! :( Gotta try to keep myself updated with all these celebrity and/or London news. If any of you know/heard about anything, don't forget to give me a shout!

Here's Bleeding Love video in YouTube with a grand total of 34,000 ratings + 15 million views. Hope you like the song as much as I do.

Way to go Leona! Looking forward to your albums!

On another note, I'll be leaving for Birmingham tomorrow (after Lion Dance) to visit Joanne and my brother in Warwick.

Nottingham Games 2007

Nottingham Games this time was once again a rather successful one for me although I failed to bag any gold medals for Imperial.

I was not expecting anything out of this since I only practised a day before the competition and guess what happened to my beloved ping pong bat....

it broke!!!

How unlucky things were :(

Had to use Hua Aun's bat in the beginning and the games I played were soo awful! I then used a friend's bat (another player in the same competition) which happens to be almost the same as my broken bat. Things turned out to be so much better after that.

Overall, I managed to bag a silver medal for Mixed Doubles category and a bronze for Singles. Both matches were extremely close and I thought I could have gotten 2 golds for that! Aihh.. Anyway, that's it for this year. Don't think I'm actually looking forward to next year. And honestly, I thought Nottingham Games would be the last ever ping pong competition I'll ever enter. Have been taking part in competitions for every year since 2001. It's probably time to retire in this and move on to probably another sport? Hehe.

Anyway, below are some of the pictures during Nottingham Games:

Met Subha and Jia Wei in Notts (Wei is not in this picture though)

Me in action!

And lastly, the champion and I!

Venetian Macao Resort (Asia's Las Vegas!)

Even words can't describe how pretty this place is. Love it a lot. See for yourself.

The Reception (Queue was this long!)

An Excellent Break

To those who reads my blog regularly, sorry for not blogging for quite some time: I have been rather stressed up due to the amount of work (studies) I have to do over Easter vacation. I'm currently way behind my schedule =(

Gopi visited me from Malaysia and I have to admit that I'm a VERY terrible host. He had to walk to Harrods by himself on one fine day because I was too knackered to go with him. That seriously reflects on how obnoxious I am as a person/friend. It would have been better if he visited London somewhere in June; after my exams. Anyway, lets just skip that matter before I start chiding myself for being such a bad host.

On a bright and fine Easter Sunday, Cindy suggested that we should meet up for lunch. Henceforth, the 4 of us (me, Cindy, Cheng Chun and Gopi) met up for 'dim sum'. We then headed off to Green Park and Buckingham Palace since Gopi and Cindy have not been there before. Weather was seriously perfect and favourable. What an excellent break from work! (not that I've been working that hard, but still!)

Brilliant park and weather

And, oh! we went on a "double date" (I know Gopi's gonna kill me for this)

Cindy and I

Gopi and his long lost lover =P

Some of the retarded/nice photos we took:

Fine. Our relationship is complicated.

Gopi thinks this picture is cool! =)

Brugges, Belgium

Brugge (also called 'the Venice of the North') is fantastically pretty. Personally, I think it is rather unique due to the preservation of the medieval-looking image of the city. This place is a popular tourist destination because of its attractive building and canals.

Panoramic Views of Brugge

A famous town hall

Belfort Tower

Surprisingly, we managed to stagger up the 88m tower! What an achievement for us! Hehe.

And, of course, who would miss out the famous BELGIAN CHOCOLATES!! I'm craving for chocolates now :(

*drools*

I don't know what to comment about this pic. Interesting huh?


Pictures with friends who went with me:

L to R: Me, Poh Lynn, Yin Mei, Jenn, Cindy, Hong Ping

Cambridge

Trip to Cambridge was seriously fantastic! Cambridge is really gorgeous. What more, Vee Vian and Vin Shen's presence made it even better.

I shall not elaborate on my trip since a picture speaks a thousand words. See it for yourself.

Gorgeous King's College

Impressive St.John's College

I love the place a lot and will definitely visit this place again, some day.
