I am now in London....since Thurs night (1st day of CNY). Will be here till 17th night. We close all our shops early on wednesday (CNY eve). That day we went for dinner then went down to Chinatown to "cho re nao" (join in the festivity crowd) with my parents and maid.
Have missed about 3 weeks of svcs and cg. Will be here in london for 2 weekends. So going to miss another 2. Sianz. But on a lighter note, I get to get away from the shop for a while. We closing the shops for for 4 days for cny and opening on the 5th day of cny (11th feb) which is tmr london time (today singapore time).
Pre-CNY period was pretty busy in the shop. Had no time for food and the loo during the weekend for the crowd just keeps coming in. Needed at least 3 people in suntec and 2 people in queensway outlet. The saturday just before the CNY (think it was the 2nd of feb), I went to work as usual but after abt 1/2 an hr I opened shop, I felt nausesous and faint. Was feeling really sick that I couldn't stay. Called my mum who was in suntec with my other 2 staff (i was in queensway). She came over to pick me up and brought me to the doctor. After that went back home to rest for about an hour and then headed back to queensway to help out. Had no choice as it was a really really busy and peak period.
The flight to London on thursday was pretty empty. My parents and I had a total of 7 seats (though we only bought 3 tickets). We could lie down and sleep. The timing of the flight was just perfect. We don't have much of a jet lag after we arrived in London. The last time I came to London was before I went to Australia to study. Think it was in 2000 or 2001. That's about 6, 7 years ago. Everything still looks the same.
Yesterday morning we were out for a 2 days 1 night road trip to windsor castle, bath and stonehenge with my parents, sisters and elder sister's bf. Intially we intended to go on a day tour but decided that driving there on our own will be better. So we rented a 7-seater mpv and booked 2 rooms in a B&B hotel in Bath. It was last min. We did all these just the night before we left. As it was last min, most hotels were fully booked. We were lucky to find 2 rooms (1 family and 1 double). It was a pretty small B&B hotel with only 20 rooms (only 2 people serving) but service is pretty good. We are pretty impressed.
In the midst of the road trip to stonehenge before heading back to London, I got myself into a mini accident. My fingers on my left hand was caught in between the front passenger car seat door when it was slammed shut. I was getting into the backseats then. Ouch. Thank God that only my middle and fourth fingers are slightly bruised esp my middle finger. Nothing is broken. I am so accident prone. And now I am so tired. Going to go get a shower.
