Movie Premier, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Tuesday 10 April 2012

Sky TV usually gives out movie premier tickets to their customers but I always give it a miss because we don't have anyone that could look after Poj for us. But when I received an email about this movie, I logged into my Sky account to check if they are showing it in any cinema within our area. I booked tickets for two straight away when I saw one in Eastleigh which is 6 miles (17 minutes) away from us that would start at 6pm.  I thought that was early enough that we could ask one of our friends which Poj knows if they could look after him for 2 hours. But I didn't realised that it would be the day after the long weekend so we decided against it coz we know our friends have just come back from an out of town trip for the Easter weekend.

Luckily one of my friends was available at the last minute and I didn't have to cancel the tickets after all. We didn't know anything about the movie but was just excited to go out.

The title of the movie is Salmon Fishing in the Yemen starring Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Kristin Scott Thomas. It was a simple movie about a wealthy Sheikh who brought salmon fishing to Yemen by employing a fisheries expert (McGregor), with a little love story on the side. I like the actors and the fact that this movie just flows, light, very predictable but still enjoyable. 

Nice movie and great company. Thanks Rach and thanks Sky TV for our free movie premier tickets =)

Monday, Coffee & Gift

Monday 2 April 2012

Poj & I took advantage of the sunny day and went out for a walk in the morning. We also walked to the shops and bought pressies for friend's birthday and more stuff that we need for the picnic party. 

In the evening I went out to see a couple of friends, one of which I haven't seen for a while. It was short but still nice, it's always lovely to catch up with friends. I work with Sally at the hospital and we even share the same office but we rarely get to see each other. And Richard now lives in Berlin with his beautiful family and I am rubbish at keeping track of his sched (he is in England every 4th week). I spoke to Papa E and asked him when we could fly there for a visit coz I am dying to see Katrin (Richard's wife) & their gorgeous boy, Oliver again.  Some days it's still weird that we used to work so closely together in the hospital and now she's back to Germany. 

So when I got home I asked Papa E on when we could fly out there for a visit - and he said we'll have a look at it. Yay! I'm excited =)

They also gave Poj a pressie which he loved. He said a big 'wow' when I gave him his little package. He loves the little toy car. He thinks it was cool that he could open the doors. And he loves puzzles and played with it straight away.

I'm planning of inviting them both here for my birthday for some Indian, and maybe I could bake a cake for us too =)

Birthday Boy

Sunday 26 February 2012

We went to High Barnet, Hertfordshire today to celebrate George's birthday. It is always great to see everyone and to meet new people as well.  It was a fun day filled with laughters, catch up stories, picture taking & of course lots of food. 


There were 6 kids today and all were busy playing. But as soon as the cake was brought out, the birthday song was sang and the candles were lit, they all gathered around the table and joined George at blowing the candles. 
This is one of my fave shots of the day, don't you just wonder how kids find it so easy to play and interact with each other? And they all seem to love chocolate cakes too! lol
