Hello friends,
First of all, to all my Malay friends, Selamat berpuasa!!!
I was working part time the other day at the chinese takeaway, my boss called me up to help out during the busy weekend. Of course I was compensated satisfactorily. About 40 over pounds per night, just 8 hours work. Just before I got home, a shop house was on fire just a couple of blocks away from the takeaway. Fire engines were quick and effective, also the policemen and paramedics were there on the spot right after the engines. No lost of lifes, 2 casualty were rescued, both Chinese. Here is how everything looks like: 
It's autumn here in UK, temperature ranges from 4 to 18 degree celcius. As usual, British weather is really unpredictable, sunny day can suddenly turn into a storm. It's usually very chilly at night, Nottingham is cooler than London, about 2 degrees lower. Here are some pictures of the scenes just outside our current neighbourhood (notice the tree colours, I will take another one during winter for you to spot the changes) : 
One of the scenic building of Nottingham town is the Council House which is located right in the middle of city centre: 
Nottingham city is not just a boring place, Goosefair is held every year during the first week of October. Its a jumbo size fun fair. Lots of fun and thrilling rides, special snacks and food stuffs are sold here as well. Wonderful fair with great night scenes. The crowd is mainly of parents and childrens, not forgetting students which forms a large proportion of the Nottingham population. In case you don't know, there are actually 2 large university in Nottingham, namely the Nottingham Trent Uni and Nottingham Uni.
Want to know what is that green slimy stuff below:

Just last Monday I went for a movie and casino outing with friends. We had dinner in Wagamama, japanese restaurant famous for Udon noodles and other Japanese cuisines. Curious to found out how the food looks like? Well, here is how it looks:

Like any usual fair, games are inevitable. One of them require us to pull a toppled Coke bottle up to standing position using a fishing rod with a round hoop at one end. Just one pound per try and you can take as long as you like. However, if the hoop slips off the bottle neck, game OVER!!
