View from the campsite

We've finally developed the films from our previous Wales trip. I really liked this picture KL took. So, thought I'd put it up as well. It was taken at the campsite as the sun set.

Snowdonia National Park

It was the Bank Holiday, KL and I decided to make our way to North Wales for the long weekend. It was more of an outdoor trip - where we did multi-pitch climbing and a day of trekking. Tiring but enjoyable nonetheless.

Popiah

My attempt at making popiah was triggered by pure 'tam chiak'-ness (translated: gluttony). Imagine calling home on a weekend, mum was telling me that everyone was feasting on grandma's mouth watering home made popiah.

That did it, I made my way to China town that very day determined to get all the ingredients I needed to make the filling. It's hard work - slicing up the bangkuang, carrots, chilies.... but it was definitely well worth it!

Greenwich by Night

Talk about a home with a view!! We practically live a stone's throw away from the quaint and historical town of Greenwich, but never got round to capturing the night scene. I finally managed to drag KL out to catch these photos.

A view of Greenwich, with the famous tea-clipper Cutty Sark and the green dome of the Greenwich tunnel, from across the river.



The distinct GMT line emitted from the Royal Observatory with the Old Royal Naval College in the foreground.


The Greenwich tunnel, 50ft beneath the Thames River and 1,217 feet in length.


Island Garden Park with a slight coating of snow during a cold winter night.
