GSK inter-departmental football match!

5:55 AM

went to support PT (Process Technologies) for the football match today. I'm no football fan but it was reli fun to watch especially when everyone starting getting competitive! =)
PT was in red.. (if you gotta lose.. at least lose in style yeh. heh)

Team talk - team strategy anybody?

the PT team! ~ we came in 3rd. 3rd out of 5 teams. not too bad really. I contributed 8mins of it. haha.

and this is lil' Lily - Frank's 9mths old daughter =)

yup! awesome day, awesome weather..
i just wish they would play sth else other than football. In UK.. it's just football football AND mORE football! bah.

Cardiff Wkend - 21/22nd June

3:59 AM

went to Cardiff, Wales last wkend with the stevenage gang. We took the National Express bus service there.. 4hrs bus ride from London!! - BIG BIG mistake. gg there was alrite, but the trip back was soooooooo horrendous that we all declared we would never ever take National Express again. Imagine being stuck in a stuffy (no windows) bus filled with people, breathing in purid air for 4-5hrs.. the entire bus just stunk of urine! arghhhh.. the journey was so so painful.

anyways, that aside.. Cardiff was.. alright. loads of drunk party go-ers yelling & gg ard hugging ppl on the streets. it's pretty boring reli.. apart from the cheap (& awesome) food & shopping =)
Welsh Cakes - dainty lil pancake-like stuff with raisins & dusted icing sugar.

our favourite bakery stall in the market!! everything was so cheap we went mad & bought tons..

we bought the day hopper bus ticket & ventured off to the neighbouring lil towns..
Cosmeston Lake - we got conned! it was supposed to be reli huge & pretty. but it turned out to be just a puny lil lake. seriously - the lake near gsk tonbridge is much larger & has got many more generations of ducks & swans..

Barry Island (off Cardiff)

sandy beach @ Barry Island..

FIsh & Chips & ice cream go together for seaside towns in UK. if you're at a seaside town, u simply MUST have fish & chips & ice cream.. else ur trip just won't be complete. (Actually, that's all they sell at sea side towns)
but anyway, i had both!! =) my fat awesome cheesy fries.. (somehow i suspect this lunch clogged up my arteries enough to raise my blood pressure for good.)

Welsh ice cream's reli good! - very very creamy. apparently their ice cream's different from the rest coz they make them using double cream.

@ Penarth Pier..


Cardiff Bay/ Mermaid Quay.. this place's quite pretty. loads of restaurants.. kinda like our esplanade.

standing under the world's largest Welsch LOVEspoon. haha. they have got different designs & symbols that signify different stuff.. say for example, if u get someone a lovespoon with a lock, it means u wanna love them for life & blah blah blah..

finally, my favourite pastime again! =) everyone were queuing up for this!! (& so we joined the queue.. - typical Singaporean style eh) we weren't disappointed. the tarts & choc eclair were divine =)

yup! tt about sums up our Cardiff trip. wish we had a car. the Wales countryside will be so much more worth visiting!

GSK Summer Country Fayre - backlog

3:48 AM

It was GSK Summer Country Fayre last monday.

It was held at the White Rock Inn not far from Tonbridge site, and there were games like Petanque, Bat and Ball (these 2 are for the older ppl), and more fun and violent ones like gladiator jousting & sumo wrestling!! =)

Paris wkend trip!

3:58 AM

took the train to Paris last wkend with the stevenage gang. it was knackering reli. slept a grand total of 10hrs in 3 days?!
the weather held up - hot and sunny. but as the rest have all been to Paris before, this was more of a feast and shop trip instead of actual touring.
the Sacre Coeur

Notre Dame Cathedral

Awesome French Seafood Baguette!

endless cakes & pastries

we found Pierre Herme!! ~ lovely macarons =)

Pierre Herme's ice cream sandwich! reli expensive but one of a kind =)

the Eiffel Tower from afar ~ reli far. we were too lazy to walk all the way there. too hot, tired and dehydrated.
