Where have I been lately?

First of all, my apologies to those who have visited my page in the past couple months and saw nothing been updated. Well, I was busy settling down in this new location. Trying to juggle around work, getting an apartment and at the same time exploring new places.

Till date, the travelling has been very interesting. From the legendary Loch Ness up north of Scotland, to the city of art - Glasgow, and many more townships along the east coast. The Scotish never fails to surprise you with their warm hospitality any where you go.

Places covered thus far...

Glasgow City Council Square

With some friends (from Singapore, China, Paris, Brussels and Malaysia) coming over to visit over a few weekends, I have been really busy trying my best to be a very good host. In a nutshell, we managed to do an "express" coverage of the following places over a few weekends.

- Glasgow
- Edinburgh
- Dundee
- Broughty Ferry
- Dufftown
- Huntly
- Inverness

Just too bad that I can only get away during weekend, otherwise I wish I can travel more while the weather still permits. It will be getting very cold soon and the day is getting shorter as winter approaches.

I will try to write more individually on each of them as I go about this. By the way my Aberdeen page is ready. Do visit it if you have the time.

In the meantime, if you can't wait to see the photos, do visit my personal homepage which is listed above - Alanchai.com. Drop me a message and I will give you a password to access that site.

Some glamour shots...

Me and my car

Well, it has been a drastic change of lifestyle from Africa. Quality of life is much much higher and one can really live the way it should be. I can find more time to do things that I really like, travel, cook and eat! ...

Balance between work and leisure is emphasized. It is no longer working in a pressure cooker. :-)

Well.. hopefully with that, I can churn out better write ups over here. Initially, it was really tough to get back to write after 2 months away from it. I thought I lost the ability to write for a week, thank goodness after reading up some interesting pages by bpacker... "inspiration" returns eventually.... in fact I forgot to sleep last night after getting into the momentum to write the Aberdeen page.

Anyway enough of my bed time stories; sit back and enjoy (either you like it, or you will hate it.... it doesn't really matter) ... Cheers.!!..
