Oyster Card for London

There's 2 main type of transport card / pass that we can purchase for use in London:

London Pass
Oyster Card

I did some computation on the overall price involved and as a tourist that isn't quite keen on museum visits, we chose to get the Oyster card which we topped up to get to various places of interest around London.

In fact, even with the purchase of Oyster Card, there's a cap on the total amount that you need to pay on a per day basis for all your trips within the same day. I'd say that public holidays and weekends are more value for money in terms of travelling around as the daily cap is much lower, because almost the entire day is considered to be off peak. The computation is kind of complicated and you might want to just check out this site for all the cap related details if you decided to get an Oyster Card (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/visiting-london/visitor-oyster-card)

Tips: I'd suggest that you time the start and end of each of your trip, especially if you are taking the Underground / Tube:
Avoid travelling at these timings to ensure that you don't get charged the peak cap (as a visitor, you probably can wait long enough to make use of the off peak cap most of the time):
Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) from 06:30 to 09:29 and 16:00 to 18:59

Business Network International

I went for one of my friends' Business Network International gathering today. It's actually quite interesting, although initially, I'm quite lost. But after some time, then ok le. A new experience I should say, with a group of people that likes whatever each other is going so much and having lots of fun! The people there are really very friendly, so I shall add those that I've talked to into my hotlist then. Just that I'm not too sure if they really remember me :P But after sometime, I'll need to replace my friend for about 2 weeks so it should be ok I guess. The only downside is that. 7.30am is really a tough timing to wake up and go for the meeting. I'm glad I'm there. I'm so blessed!

Understand Yourself through Fingerprints

Came across this company called wonderful minds, which my 2 friends shared with me about. It's actually a business opportunity where you can share with your friends, especially those that have kids. So that the kids after understanding themselves, can just learn through the most effective way so as maximize their learning ability from young. I've found out that all our 10 fingerprints added together form our learning map, if we do the full scan, it comes with a 22 page report telling us about our personality, learning style / pattern, are we left or right brain. I heard that the more of the same pattern we have, the more we are towards that characteristic. Somehow, my thumb has such a unique pattern that it was under none of the 4 main free info that I've got. So too bad for me. Actually, I'm quite curious to find out more.. Here's the 4 main types of patterns for the fingerprint loops. The Arch: Possesses abundant, unlimited potential, high capacity to be moul

Taipei Trip Day 1

The morning flight is really very early, starting at 7.10am. Which means I need to wake up at around 3.45 - 4am! Amazingly, I'm the one that slept more but that's the photo of hardworking one vs the sleepy one :P So, who's the piggy here?
