Ready soon photo gallery …

After much testing and deciding, I finally made up my mind to stick to Phormer Photo Gallery. It is easier to use and can be customized quite easily even thought I need to really study on it in order to make some real changes. Still, I will stick to its original interface right now.

I have uploaded some photos as a start and soon, I will make it public. Previously, I spent sometime with minishowcase photo gallery. It is a simple photo gallery, but I was worried that in the future, it might not be able to cater the need to create tons of categories depending on how I categorize my photos. Surely I would not want to store my photos in just a single folder or a few and from my estimation, minishowcase is only suitable for up to 10 – 15 folders and anything more than that, I will have to scroll down to view other folders. And it does not support sub-categories.

Soon, I will be able to introduce my photo gallery but right now, what I need to do is to convince Mee again that Phormer is one of the best photo galleries around and it is free.

The world of www.888.com

When I first came to UK, there was a championship event going on at that time. Most of the pubs and cafes were showing live telecast of the championship event. Well, it was not English Premier League or European Championship. It was the World Poker Tournament sponsored by www.888.com.

Since then, I know that www.888.com has one of the largest ranges of online casino games and the ever popular Casino-on-Net had won many awards in 2007. Recently, “Extra Games” arena is added with a lot of better graphics and fast-paced games in the waiting list and there are three games available at the moment. What’s more? There are more than 8 progressive jackpots going simultaneously with over $2 million waiting to be won.

A day in London …

The day before yesterday, which was Monday, Mee and I went to my car dealer to get the belt replaced. It was free of charge because my car is still under warranty. Finally, the continuous squeaking sound came to an end. The weather was very hot and after the car was ready, Mee and I went to London; by train, of course.

We brought our own lunch and went to Starbucks Coffee to try the latest Vivano smoothie drink because we had a buy 1 get 1 free voucher. There are only two flavours; Banana Chocolate and Orange Mango Banana, and we ordered both. The smoothies were tasty and nice because there were no added stuffs and only fruits. It costs £3.25 per drink.

We then proceeded to Patisserie Valerie for our tea time. We sat there for about one hour because the weather was too hot and we were trying to cool ourselves down while appreciating our cakes. After that, we window shopped around Oxford Street, New and Old Bond Street. There were no sales going on. Our final stop was at Chinatown where we had our dinner at C&R restaurant.

Yummy Pan Mee by Mee …

Update
~ Pan Mee is Flat Noodle ~

Yesterday, Mee and I were so excited in doing ‘pan mee’ ourselves. It was kind of hard to make the dough as I have to use all of my strength. Half way through, and we were not sure whether we needed to add more water or more flour on it. But luckily, things worked out fine.

The end result? A nice ‘pan mee’ with vegetable soup, fried onions, fried anchovies, and minced pork created by Mee.

Wilmington NC real estate

How wonderful it is to have the ability to invest in properties in other countries? My landlord, for example, has properties around UK as well as Spain. On and off, he will go to Spain with his family for vacation and best of all; he does not have to worry about accommodation. And when he is not there, he will rent it out.

Though it is out of question for me at the moment, but some of you may know that there is some good Wilmington NC real estate available. SeaCoastRealty.com is a website that allows you to search properties around North Carolina easily with information for buyer and seller if you are not familiar with the area or do not know where to start.

Photos of my car …

Yesterday, I managed to take a few photos of my car. From the way I parked my car, it is quite difficult to take a shot from the back of my car.
