woke up to a morning of haze and fog and coupled with the fact most of the scots and english are home for Easter, my neighbourhood appears to be a dead town. mind you, it's the school holidays not the Queen's birthday or St Andrew's day.

Taken at 9 am in the morning.

BBC weather reads: Morning fog then some warm sunshine. cloudy @ 5 degree Celsius. I was just wondering how warm sunshine really felt. just seem to miss and forgot how it feels to be 'burnt' by the blistering 'singaporean' heat and scorching 'singapore' sun. it appears that we are all sharing the same sun, if you haven't realise, but you hardly feel the strength of sun here in edinburgh.

its spring and the daylight saving thingy has kicked in it last sunday. so it's G.M.T +7 not +8, for people back home in singapore. don't ask me why cuz i can't really explain. check Wikipedia. it has answers for almost everything. not everything but most. is spring supposed to be this cold? well, the weather has been rather erratic and i can't really find a fixed weather template to label spring. i used to think that a temperature of 5 degree Celsius is cold but it's not that bad. i prefer to have a blistering cold day than a dreadful gusty windy day. winds here reach speeds up to 20-40 mph which is about 30-60 kmh. well, it sounds harmless numerically but it's terrible when you see things flying all over the place, overturned umbrellas, toppled road hoardings. so hold on to you sandwich when you are having a picnic on a day like this.

will be experiencing Italian air and cuisine the same time tomorrow morning, can't help feeling excited. got to pack soon cuz we are leaving for Glasgow Prestwick airport at 2.30pm. our flight is 8.00pm. that's all for now. ci vediamo (see you in Italian)

cold foggy morning's farewell to you

bye for now...

hello people. oh should i say "buongiorno" in italian. i will be heading for italy, the land of pizza, gelatos, pasta, renassiance art, roman cities and pretty ladies...well, not if you have your girlfriend lingering around you. well, that's beside the point. i will be away from edinburgh and be in italy from tuesday 27 march till 8th of apr. will be back for more exciting news from edinburgh..see yar!!!

welcome...

Good day lads,
Been pretty busy and sorry for the long wait if you have been yearning to hear from me. kenny will be home soon. i can hear the cheers!!! keep u just posted on the details for that. what have i been doing? school term is ending tmrw and easter holidays are starting this friday. therefore, i needed to turn in all my work before we fly off for the break. had this crazy report to do the week before and many other reports days before that. despite that, i havent been attending lectures diligently. I need to get my lazy bum off the bed and start revising for the degree exams which are due in may. Wanna see pictures? hee. welcome to warrender park crescent.


This is where home is!! green arrow!!


See the patch of greenery around my place. this is how it looks like! It's called the meadows!

Pretty Flowers!

ok! u can catch rainbows in singapore!

well, that's not snow. but frozen morning dew!!! brr...

The meadows is where people can play soccer, frisbee, laze around, read a book (when it is warmer), play catch with their beautiful dogs and do crazy things. There is a small patch where people play golf. yes! it's no joke but locals bring a few golf clubs and strut their stuff on the green. it's an intelligent sport! apparently, i am the only one who thinks so. the singaporean girls never understand the true meaning behind golf! nvm. got a "shaky "pic of dudes having fun in the rain. btw, golf is born here!! not in edinburgh but st andrew's.

Well back to the main stuff. look at the map again and u will see peaks of high ground on the far right of it. It is called arthur's seat! yay, standing at 251 metres, it is an old volancic rock extinct since the carboniferous age. well, that's courtesy of wikipedia actually. hee. judging from the name, you would think that there are some connections to the legendary King Arthur. it was said that king arthur watched his army's defeat of the Picts from there. Thks, wikipedia! Oops. this is how it loOks like!

Er..not a very pretty sight though.

How's this!! snow capped arthur's seat!

The view from up above is trememdous!! well not before the treacherous climb up.

yeah, not the usual bukit timah kind of slopes..

look at that....


and that....

and that!

Lakes are termed "Loch" which is of scottish gaelic origin. there are few mini loch located around arthur's seat! the area around it is arthur's seat. you can see pretty ducks and drakes and swans are waddling around...

Makes u think of a zoo right? but aren't they beautiful right...

i hope these signs really work!

Well, that's about it for the holyrood park and arthur's seat. well, wanna have a look at my crib? here are some pretty shots of my room.

My door!!
