Stonehenge, Windsor and Bath Day Trip from London

After visiting London, Stonehenge is one of the must go places where if we had already flown there and not visit the place, it feels like we've not been there yet.

So we decided to take up a one day tour in London as our colleague told us that it's easier go to the Stonehenge by bus through a tour as compared to going there by our own. To make the most out of the day trip, we booked the Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge Day Trip from Viator (because Viator had special offers and low price guarantee, I heard it's cheaper than booking directly from Evan Evans Tours).


In fact I find it very value for money thanks to our friendly tour guide, who told us a number of interesting stories about England.

Along the way, we passed by a several interesting sights:

The colorful boots at the window, it's really pretty
Buildings with Blocked Windows
Our guide told us that the windows of some old buildings are blocked to avoid the window tax imposed on England previously (Wikipedia says that this tax actually started since 1696). He says that last time they actually taxes rich people using the window tax because the bigger the house, the more windows there will be and it's meant to tax the citizens based on their prosperity level.

Interesting Road Sign that we don't see it in SG
This feels like a dark humor item we saw after alighting the bus along the way to the Bath
There's a man there the seems to be able to get quite a number of the pigeons onto the tourist's body for photoshooting. Interesting but it's probably going to be quite an expensive photo.  
This is an area where there's arc shaped terrace houses adjacent to each other forming almost a circle along the circular centre where the trees are planted on the road.

Now trying to find direct X to install. Hopefully it helps ba. At least most of the stuff is done le....

Free Antivirus Software

Just shared with one of my friends a few days ago that her computer is infected by some virus. And came to realised only yesterday that she's not the only one with unprotected computer. Then I'm wondering if it's just IT people that knows where to get free yet good antivirus software and install? Just to share with those that didn't know, AVG is really a very good yet free antivirus software. If you don't have one, it's best that you just download and install it so that your computer will be almost always virus free. At least most of the normal virus won't be able to disturb you :)

Monopoly Deal - A Fun Game to Play @ Chalets!

I felt that Monopoly Deal is really a fun and challenging game to play, especially at the Chalet. There are many rules to the game, but luckily we had a  monopoly deal rules expert with us to double-click with in event of discrepancy! I feel that it requires strategy and some form of luck to win the game. So far, I always get good property cards sets but it always get taken away 'cos I don't have the "Just say NO" card and it tend to get taken away, especially if I've a complete set. Then, I tried the strategy of not putting up a complete set, then it also doesn't really work 'cos in the end, I don't end up putting my sets on the table. Perhaps, I'll need to play a lot more times and try different methods till I get the idea right I guess. If you do have the chance, try playing that game. It's really exciting, 'cos you'll never know how long will your properties stay with you! As well as, how much money you can have in your hands. T...
