It's been about a week and a half since I returned from my vacation and I must say I absolutely  miss the weather in the UK. I find it so hard to fall asleep these nights because I start perspiring so quickly that I have to switch on the air-conditioner. Argh , makes me appreciate the cold winds in the UK more now. Anyway, back to share another day from my vacation. Apart from all the shopping we did, we also set time aside to do some sight-seeing and engage in more meaningful activities than just... shop. This time, we visited Cardiff Bay Barrage and drove up to Penarth Pier before going to The Old Post for dinner! On one end, we could see Cardiff Bay so those tiny buildings right at the end actually make up the city centre. (We visited Cardiff Bay on our previous trip but nothing compares to this sight.) On the other side, of course, is what any other barrage would normally look like. We could actually walk out around the barrage to see the Bristol Chann...

Yes, I finally, finally  am willing to update the site on the last part of my vacation in Cardiff. ☺ 5 July 2013, Friday The siblings came to join us! ♥ Aunty Shyam and I waited close to an hour for them and I couldn't express how excited I was becoming with each minute passing. (I think everyone now knows I am extremely  close to my sister which explains why I couldn't wait to see her.) And when we finally reunited, I couldn't stop smiling! We drove home and it was almost lunch time. While Aunty Shyam and I were out waiting for the siblings, Aunty Su and Mama cooked lunch so there was literally a spread awaiting us when we got home. ☺ After that, we asked the brother what he would like to have for dinner. This being his virgin experience away from home, we had to make sure everything fell nicely into place (I say we treated him like a king ). Anyway, he said he felt like doing a BBQ and that was what we did! Everyone else went out to Asda to get whatever ingredient...

And yes, I am officially back! As such, I shall update on the rest of my trip. :-) Picking up from where I last left off, we picked Aunty Su up from Heathrow Airport on 28 June 2013, Friday. And then we took a almost-2-hour car ride to Bath . With the favourite Aunt at the car park in Bath. :-) While walking, we chanced upon this bridge which overlooked the lake and it was a pretty good view (although not captured in this picture) but featuring the generation of ladies before me! As I walked, I couldn't help but snap shots of the beautiful environment. I know I'm easily amazed but every building looked so antique and unique yet refreshing at the same time. Not anything like those in Singapore, of course. Had lunch at a pub. My first experience of being at a pub and I have to say, it wasn't a bad one. In fact, it was way different from what I expected it to be! Mandatory shot with Aunty Su. :-) Mommy's dish. She had some sau...
