I took for granted the public holidays that I wish to enjoy back home. Being a multi-racial and multi-religion country, we celebrate the festivities of our Muslim, Hindu etc friends. In the UK, we only have eight bank holidays a year, including Christmas, Good Friday etc. So I am really glad that another one is coming up next Monday which meant a good break for us after the recent travels.
Xueyan's preparation for her CFA exams next Saturday meant that we will stay in this week. I realise this is the first bank holiday that I will not be travelling, other than New Year's Day. Which is incidentally good because the forecasted weather for this weekend is going to be terrible.
While Xueyan buries her head within the texts, I will probably go the gym, write some macros (again?) for work or simply laze around at home to read. The next bank holiday will only come around end of August (Iceland!), so I better make the most out of this!

hey lo! Guess you are having a great long weekend resting at home! Hope XY is doing well mugging away! Jia You!
Anyway, I am eyeing a DSLR from a guy who is selling on a forum and he stays in Hastings, Central London. Is it too far from you? Was wondering if it would troublesome for you to help me collect it if the purchase is going through? Then you can ship back to me via the cheapest manner or bring back if you are coming back from a holiday. Let me know? thanks

Ching - Haha... she's very stressed... having taken the papers before, I would just say it's something I would not like to take again or even bother taking it the first place since it's so TOUGH!
Weixiong - I am not sure where Hastings is in London, but I have been to Hastings outside London which is about 3 hours away.
Let me know the postcode, then I have a better indication.
Hey Yibao,
The guy's location is at SW1, just off Victoria Street. He will be there Friday and Saturday this week, Weds and Thurs next week. Another time can be arrange. Are you near the place?
Oh, it's not too far - about 30 mins from my place. I can only do weekends, maybe this weekend. But I need the specific details of what you need and the price that I have to pay for those stuff.
My friend may be going back to Singapore next week, so she can help with the delivery. Haha.
Oh sweet! He is quoting 400 quid for the whole package. Once I am confirm purchase with him, I will inform you via email? Then arrange to meet him. Thanks so much. For your lens, I am gonna try get it tonight. If possible , or tomorrow Vesak holiday. Would John 3:16 have it?
Hi yibao,
I just called a few places to ask the price. John3:16 quoted $2100, Cathay is $2680. So the range is about there. Is there any price difference from your side? Have you tried ebay?
huh then tell xy not to take lah.. haha
