Twin Cities: Summer - August 2007

 
This twin-trip was not actually a holiday. I was having a back to back business meetings in two continents. This was totally abnormal in my line of work thus worth mentioning in my blog ;p
 
During business trips I normally don't bring my camera. I will just make do with my pathetic camera phone if ever I need to take a photo. I made an exception to this one cause it was London!!! Also because this twin-trip was my last meeting before I went on one year career break and I want to take photos of my colleagues just incase I decided later to retire for good..
 
What I loved most about the first of the twin-trip was Malaysia Airlines Business Class. Eating "satay" and having "teh tarik" on air was awesome! Another thing I love was the "nasi ayam" made by my host-friend. I was a lousy cook back then, so I was impressed when my friend can actually cook!
 
Since my trip to London was short and mostly occupied with meetings, I tried to aim for only three touristy thingy to do. First one was to visit the Tower of London, the second one was to watch as many musicals as possible and the third one shopping. Specifically for the Marks & Spencer's Oatberry Cluster Mini Bites.. That dessert is really one of the best in the world!
 
Tower of London was a failure cause the queue at the ticket booth was so long. I was too tired after 12 hours flight and don't really want to waste time queuing. Luckily I managed to catch two musicals. Les Miserables and Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings was great. Les Miserables was truly miserable.. I actually fell asleep during the intermission and struggled to keep my eyes open for the rest of the show. A Brazilian beside me also slept.. so it was not only me alone who found it a bore :(
 
What I love about the second of my twin-trip was Singapore Chilli Crab that our working group had at Clarke Quay. I was also fond of their Night Safari.. Eventhough it was nothing like the real safari in Africa but Singapore being Singapore.. it was really well done :)
 
If you have been following my blog, you should know by now that I'm an "aspiring" photographer with not-so-great cameras. So keep that in mind when you look at the photos of this trip.. most especially the Singapore ones.. ;p
