Dear Joop....luv, Jade

Dear Joop,

I meant to respond to your blog. But I've got a 'Must be at most 300 characters' when I try to post my comments! Call me naggy and long-winded Godma! :P

that is the meaning of my name in Chinese character :) Hmm...and because great mind not only think alike but have the same great taste too! Don't you simply love this lovely green and blue background? :P Life's not too bad with the usual ups and downs! Hope you and Hao's getting on well!!

Hmm..I lost count (just like I stop counting my age since the 30 mark!!) Isn't technology great? Doesn't really feel like ages since we last met.

What confession? that will make me an even greater sinner. Don't worry too much about confirmation..just go with your heart.

A wall tennis player? I never will doubt that with your huge fan base!! CHEERS and keep up with the fantastic blogging!

Psychic octopus Paul

Psychic octopus Paul hit the nail on the head again. Too bad it didn't predict if that's going to happen during extra play time or not!!! Anyway, still glad that Spain's champion.

WC fever

Everywhere you go, it's just WC, WC and more WC and I am not talking about flush toilet hor!! I log into Facebook and 8 out of 10 friends comments are surrounding world cup. It isn't national day but all you see are flags hung at buildings, residences and even cars by supporting fans in the UK. The most extreme I ever seen is fans waving the national flag and screaming their heads off from their roofless car as it cruised along the high streets of London.

And in EMEA, I bet most organisations have set up some form of a league or WC predictor! At least this is so for those EMEA organisations whom I know of! Employees are even allowed to watch WC while they work!! But rather this then faced with high volume of leave of absence, right?

For someone who doesn't even watch soccer matches in the past, this WC thingy is starting to have this contagious effect on me. One thing for sure, I dun need to wake up at wee hours to catch WC so maybe that's an added incentive. But what's most motivational is that my hubby's £ is at stake here! Just hope that lady luck will come knocking at my hubby's door soon to savage the current damage done...HELP!!

Freaky climate or is it juz me?

It has been close to 2 years since I last set foot in Singapore and imagine my surprise to find myself barely just escape from the most freaky climate incident. I am talking about Orchard Road turning into a gaint swimming pool (for cars) from June 2010's flooding!

That reminds me of another freaky climate encounter - London's heaviest snowfall in 15 years and this I sat right through it!

And if my memory never fails me, I recalled encountering the worst typoon with the typhoon signal number hitting a 10 since dunno how many years ago in Hong Kong..It's definitely another historical milestone.

Gee...Just hope I aren't the bearer of such freaky climate changes!

Well..u can't blame me being so obsessed with weather and climate nowadays when you are faced with the erratic weather changes in London almost every day. Thank goodness though - the weather is considered close to perfect these days. Sunny with blue sky and just the right degree of chill. What more can I ask for? Having said that, today's an exception. I'm praying for the perfect weather for this Saturday cos' I gotten hit the farm to do some strawberry, berries etc picking! :) Sooooo looking forward to it!

Ciao and look forward to some fotos in my next blog update.
