ZORRO, The gipsy king theatre show


Wow, cheap tickets to watch Zorro musical threatre show, I straight away booked 4 tickets. I can call later to see who want to come with me...............

Lucky us to have stalls seats, it was great for the price which the stalls seat normally cost more than £25. The only down side was our seats just a bit on the right side near to the wall, so there got some obstruction to view the scene on the right side and celling of the stage. Well, only few pounds tickets, what will you expect. ......



Great show, I really recommanded this show to others whom have to pay normal fee, ha, ha....The cast in this show whom I really really like was the gipsy woman, sorry Zorro, I did like you but not as much as I like the gipsy woman. She was funny, got sense of humor, a great dancer and very good voice too. I was sad when she was shot died at the last part of the show. At the end of the show, I was quite overwhelming and the adrealine in my body was sky high, I really....like the show, it was really.......excellent show.



I like musical show, kind of fond of it now. Since I have direct contact from the special network to email me any cheap show available on that day or week, I have seen few theatre show lately. Live in London are quite expensive if you also want to enjoy the live theatre show, but know the right people, may be you also can enjoy the same show just only few pounds.....................just like me, please do not jealous.........the price is even cheaper than ticket to the cinema or live theatre show in Malaysia. That why I still love to live in London.



I managed to get Fahriya, Savi and Joyce to join me for this show.



We asked Joyce to take a photos for us in the hall, one of the theatre staff came to tell us "No camera please !"

Celebrated in style..............



When I saw a limousine in Oxford Circle, it brought back my memory 3 1/2 years ago, I also have been there, done that, actually nothing special about limousine. My dream car is 4 wheels drive if I can affort it, high seated and practical, and I can drive across the country if I want to (dream.....................). May be Kancil juga boleh (Kancil brand also can), cheap and economic, especially now the oil price is sky high............




Jacky celebrated her 50th birthday 3 1/2 years ago, Riana, Magda and me were invited to her special party. Jacky and Jimmy live not far from us, in fact Jimmy was a patient in our hospital and Riana got to know him first, and then..............(long story)



Before we heading to Hotel for the Medieval Meal, we had girlie drinks in Jacky's back garden. Cheers...........and smile for the photos shoting.............






A 21 seated limousine was booked by Jimmy for Jacky's 5oth birthday. It was an experience to sat inside the limousine, as I thought only wealthy people or movie stars can affort to use it. Well, well, well, it was great fun, the driver drove us around the neighbourhood and Hertfordshire area for 1/2 hours before brought us to the hotel. Chat, chat, chat and drank champagne with loud music on board, Jacky managed to stand up and waved to the crowed like Queen Elizabeth............















It was new experience for me, an Medieval entertainment plus meal. It was a story play about King Henry the 8th, I could not remember what the story about, at least I knew I really...enjoyed it. Actually everyone should celebrate his/her 50th birthday, 1/2 century old you know, well what shall I do for my one, actually it still long way to go, ha, ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walking



Joyce (from Phillipine) and I both like walking, two of us went to Sicilly for one week walking holiday 3 years ago, since then we have been walking around few places in London (along the canal). The weather would not stop us from walking, and we did not mind rain or cold, because rain coat or umbrella or others well do. To be honest, not all the asian people like walking holiday, most of the people prefer city break or shopping trip, me and Joyce are the odd one among them.




This time we decided to walk from Uxibridge to Harefield along the canal, but we took the direction blindly, and then we ended up in Hyne instead of Harefield. Half way through we did asked people to confirm the direction, the guy said yes, yes, yes. When we discovered the wrong direction, we just have to carry on, and learned a lesson for the future that we should ask three people the same question instead of only one (if there have another soul to ask) !!!!!! Well it was quite a nice walk, a bit of shower here and there, not too wet. The whole journey about 7 1/2 miles, and we took about 2 hours to complete it.



I like to walk along the canal, and always dream to hire a boat for few days and sail around the canal from south to north, imagine it is going to be so nice and sensational, unfortunately this is not everyone cup of tea, therefore I still hoping one day someone will share my dream. Wait....till ........whoever interested please give me a ring, my mobile xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx











We picked the blackberries and tasted, oh my god it was so sour, straight away out of my mouth. Along the canal, besides you can enjoy the tranquility of the scenery, you also can find different type of plants and cute little ducking swimming in the canal.
Afterwards we went back to Joyce's nurses home. She is a good cook, and she always cook food for people whom visit her. We sat on the carpet and enjoyed her fried seafood noodle and fried chicken. We chatted......till 7pm, and then I headed back home. Thank you, Joyce, I have a lovely walk and day.
Actually my left knee was so painful after the walk, I was limbing on the way back home, luckily it was ok for the next day.

Funeral







Yesterday I went to attend brother John Davies' funeral to pay him the last respect and good bye. The funeral took place in south London cementory which I have no idea where was the place. Before I got off the train, I met a chinese lady with a little boy, when she saw me, she just asked me whether I was going to attend the funeral. Owh ! It was so obvious because I was wearing all black.




We were late for the funeral, and we met some more people in the train station whom also had no idea where was the cementory. Luckily after asking the direction from the local, we managed to found the chapel. There was a medium size chapel, but full of people and we had to stand outside of the entrance. John and Esther have lot of friends, with all kinds of nationality and races.




John was a great man and true English gentleman. I met Esther (Malaysian's chinese) in London Chinese Church many many years ago, and got to knew John as well. The last 12 years he was paralysed from waist down, but it didn't stop him do anything, he truely believed in God, and always had a great spirit and mind.




Everytime I phoned Esther (actually not many times, once in a full noon, but I need to make some effort to call her more often from this time onward), John was the one who picked up the phone, he always asked me "How are you ?" in Cantonese, and also spoke some chinese words with his cheerful voice. Oh ! I am going to miss him as well.



The funeral service was calm, cheerful just like John's spirit, and like celebrated John reborn again in the Heaven, no more suffering and he can walk again. After the funeral, I managed to get in the chapel to view John's smiley photo, and said a last good bye to him.



Before leaving my house, I prepared a pack of tissue in case I need to use it. To be my surprise I didn't cry at all. Please don't say that nurses see dying people all the time, and get heart harden and can not cry anymore.



The first time I attended a colleague's (from different department whom was Indian's Singaporen) funeral about 8 years back. I didn't prepare any tissue and I was crying from the service begin till end, I could not understand why my tears keep falling ?????? My both eyes were so red, and his wife came to hug me as well, she may be thought ????? why I cried that much ???? I also asked myself why ?????

This was my first love, Exilim EX-Z4. Thank you very much to company me for all these years to so many different conutries and gave me so much funs and joy. The pictures which you captured were so good, and I now really missed you because the replacement one (also Exilim, but is EX-Z20) just don't take the same pictures, I just can't get use to it, especial that special bonding feel is not there anymore. Perhapas I need sometime to let go of the old one and accept the new.

Look at the photos in my blog, all was your beautiful work.................Can I still take the nice photos now using different camera?? May be I need to try my other one, Nikon D40.




You still the best in my heart, slim and handsome compare to other brand or range. Cheers, my friend, thank for your hard work and my skills (off course), most of the people enjoyed the photos when they saw their photos I took or their love one in the photos, he, he...........................!!!!!

Yeat Har, please do not shout at me.....You are my friend for life.........How on earth you believe I just break out with my boy friend ????????????????? Sorry, mate !!! I like to treat my personal belonging as part of me or as close friends, am I sad or mad, or too sensitive or emotion or just bored ??????????? Or I need a real boy friend now ???????????

Please don't leave me ! My Love




"Enough is enough" since the retirement party you kept silent and did not want anything to do with me, I was so upset, torn apart and hurt. I was so sorry to be to0 bossy sometime and demand too much from you, always wanted you to be perfect and flawless, so I could show you off to my friends and proud of you to be my first love............Please forgive me, I knew I was really too much and not easy to live with, please give me a chance, I promise I will change if possible and would not make you work too hard from now on as well.................................



When I first met you, I was not really like/fond of you and found you a bit too complicated.....But my brother in law who knew you well strongly recommended you that you could be my good company. Well, there was nothing to lose especially you managed to travel to U.K as well, since then I started to learn more about you.



To be my surprise, I saw/learn this world through you most of the time, you were sometime quite sensitive and also very gentle. This was a secret between you and me for quite a long time which I did not share this secret with my friends. As I want to keep you for myself..................



Think back the good, high, low, laughable and sad old times, we have been together for nearly 5 years, so many memories.............................What I am going to do without you..........................................???? Please don't leave me, my love...........................I missed you so much without you.
