Arrived Safe and Sound

My parents have arrived safe and sound in London. They were initially afraid that my brother might not be able to find them as they would be disembarking at a terminal which my brother has not been to. They told me they would call me if they don't see my brother and I would then call my brother. It was all unnecessary worrying on their part. :P

Going to England

My parents will be leaving for London tonight to visit my brother and his family for three months. I know my parents are really excited to visit my brother and his family as they last saw each other in 2011. They are carting lots of goodies over to London for my nephews as well as for my brother and my sister-in-law. :) Their BA16 will depart at 11:05pm and arrive at 5:30am in London. My brother will be picking my parents up from the airport.
Ma and Pa, have a safe flight to London. Enjoy yourselves in London. :)

Snow and Chicken Pox

We saw snow in London!! :) Well, not in person but through Skype lol. :P We had our weekly Skype session with my brother and his family who are in London, UK. My nephews, especially the youngest, Yeun Zhen was so happy to play with snow that he didn't care to Skype with his grandparents and us! Lol. Well, he is two years old, can't blame him for choosing snow over his grandparents. :P Now the girls are affected by their cousins and want to see snow and play with snow balls! 
We also saw chicken pox close up! Well, not in person but through Skype lol. :) Yeun Zhen has chicken pox but he didn't look like he is too bothered with all the blisters/ scabs on his face haha. :) Brave boy! :) My two other nephews, Yeun Yi and Yeun Song have had chicken pox before so no fear for them. 
Enjoy the snow! See you guys next week. :)

What City Do I Belong In?

Was kinda bored and looking through Blogthings. Tried out this one.

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.

What City Do You Belong In?

Hahaha. No wonder, I like to visit my brother and his family so much in England. Sigh, things would have been very different now if my parents had allowed me to go to England to study. Always wondered why they didn't allow me to go since my brother was already in England then. Lol.

One reason could be they worry that I would shop too much if they send me to England for my studies. Lol. I just love visiting the markets in UK, such as Camden Lock, Covent Garden, Portobello Road, Greenwich Market.
This is a useful link about the different markets in London. So if you are heading to London, you might want to check out the markets there.
