GMT + xx ??

For those who are used to PC, I think you should be familiar with term that GMT + 8 for MY and SG time. GMT = Greenwich Mean Time. On last Sunday [ 19 March 2006 ], I went to this place, Royal Observatory, Greenwich, which is located at Longitude 0° 0' 0". This is the place where all time zones are measured.



And this is the Prime Meridian, Longtitude 0' red line. Too bad the digital clock can't show the running time, the clock was start during the year of new milineum, year 2000.


Dun know how to call this thing, it point to our globe where the 0' located.


And the info, read it yourself


On coming Sunday [26 March 2006], London will adjust their time to British Summer Time [BST], which is GMT + 1, means it will be 7 hours delay from here start on that day.

After spending hours in this Royal Observatory, Greenwich. I continue my walk to few other places nearby, like the Queen house, National Maritime Museum, the Greenwich Univerysity and etc. Too bad that some of the place can't take photo [although I did 'curi-curi' for one of the place :p]. Here are some photos:

The Queen's House

The elegant Tulip Stairs of 1635. This is the first centrally unsupported spiral stairway in Britain. And this is the one I 'curi-curi' take photo :p

The Painted Hall in Greenwich University. Amazing painting work, where all wall was painted, included the pillar effect. Please check my photo in later link for more photos.

The roof of a church. The Chappel in the Greenwich Univerysite as well. Again, there are more in my albulm

More photo here. Let me know if you problem to access it. Too bad I had used up all quote this month. Can't upload any more images!! Let me get more advise from those expert ;). I had put some notes on the photo, see if you can find it!

St Patrick's Day

Today [17 March] is St Patrick's day. It's an Irish celebration, but most of the people here will go for drink to celebrate it, no matter is english, india, chinese etc. But I didn't go for it, as there is no one invited me :p

More details here: http://www.st-patricks-day.com/index.asp

Some of my colleagues went to pub for lunch today, and they got free caps! Quite a nice cap.


BTW, this model is my team lead now. A Turkish guy.

'Fung' can cook !!

Dinner is a headache for me nowadays. There is no more prepared food when I reach home!! Now I know my sister was a wonderful person in my life :p.

So, sometimes I did cook here. But all of them is very simple food. Not as chef standard, but it's definately better than those chinese take away!

First, pepper + mushroom, the 'material'.



And one of my frend dun know what is the pepper ( 灯 笼 椒 ), here is it's look:


So, the cooking process, oil first ? salt first ? water first ?? Dun really care, all go by 'feel'. And finally this is the dishes I have. Look nice leh... :D



So, this is my dinner. Very simple but colorful dinner. The egg is in golden color, with the york being cooked just nice. I will give my egg 99.99%. But the pepper dish, I think it's overcook for 1 minute!! But still taste nice ;)



Sometime I cook pasta as well. This rather is very very simple. Basically NO skill at all. Just 'rebus' the pasta, then put on those ready made pasta source. That's it.

Work and Sleep place

I know this would be rather a slow update about the environment here, which it's already 1 mth over. But i believe in 'Late is better than nothing', so, here is the work place and my staying place :p


So, this is my office block. Block 10, Chiswick Park. As you can see from the picture, it's not a nice scene now, all trees are 'died', not greenish at all. I dun like view at all, hope it will be better during Spring.

The office building architecture is basically only glass + aluminium. It's a quiet place. Got gym, pub, cafeteria and class room in some other block. I personal think it's quite a good working place.



My office has 2 floor, I am sitting at the 1st floor, and here is my seat. It's still very early in the morning, not much people step in yet. It look very empty.

Hm.mmm..... finally my bedroom...
But................I prefer to keep my room private to myself :p. So, not going to show u the room, only show u all my 'neightbour' instead. :D. It's a cemetery!! Hantu~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !!
