Goodbye Ireland! Hello Scotland!

Done Templepatrick and now moving on to Strathclyde.

Finished work at 7am and went to airport at 9:30am to catch my flight at 11:10am. As usual, I’m worried about my overweight problem. I’ve been praying and hoping that God will help me with this. I’ve cut down my suitcase body fat by 7kg but it’s still quite heavy.

Upon check-in, weighting my suitecase, it’s 27 kg. Luckily the girl was quite nice and she didn’t charge me anything but warned me that I’m quite heavy and need to watch up when I’m coming back. Proceed to clear the custom and only realized that I forgot to put my swiss amy knife into my check-in bag. The officer advised me to check-in my hand carry as well, which to my worry that the reason I have a hand carry is to put my most heavy stuff into it so I won’t be ‘too’ over weight. So either I have give up my knife or check-in my hand carry. So I decided to check with the counter again. I told the girl that I forgot to pack my swiss amy knife into another suitcase and the officer advised me to check-in my hand carry as well. Thinking to myself, “Oh No! She is going to find out that my hand carry is too over weight as well…”. She just proceeds with the check-in procedures (my hand carry weighted 15 kg) and past me back my boarding pass. “?!?!?!” I thank her immediately and couldn’t believe that she didn’t charge me anything or even lecture me at all.

For the first time, I don’t have carry a heavy hand carry bag. Thank you Lord!

Hilton Strathclyde is about 30 minutes away from Glasgow. However, a single taxi fare will cost me 22 pounds. After check-in into the hotel, settled down in my room, I proceed to check-out the hotel gym. To my surprise, this is the most equipped gym by far of all the hotels I’ve been to. It’s like a mini California Fitness Center and they have many classes as well. So I signed up for the Body Pump class in the evening.

Looking Good!

I'm Additive to Heroes!

This is what I have been doing for the whole weekend. Watching Heroes! OMG! It’s so good and addictive! I had this DVD in my suitcase for a while but I didn’t really bother to watch it. It was from a friend, supposedly to be given to another friend, but it ended up in one of my clubbing bag before and I had it since.

As I couldn’t go anywhere this weekend and the weather was miserable, so I decided to kill my weekend with this DVD. I’m not sure if Singapore is showing this but if it does, everybody must watch it! It is like X-Men cum Lost cum Desperate Housewives. It is so dark, mysterious, funny and yet interesting!

If I could have one of the powers now, I’d want Hiro’s ability to tele-port himself. Then, I could travel through time and spend my time will all my favourite people. I was thinking about the ‘Flying’ power, but I think it will be too cold for me to fly half way around the globe with the current weather now.

Irish Coffee

I just had my very first Irish Coffee (coffee with whiskey) at the bar and my goodness! It was really good and strong! One sip of this coffee and I can already felt it kicking in! I think this is such a good pre-clubbing drink, because u get the caffeine and yet you are getting high! It's such a good drink to prepare you for a long night out!

Hilton Templepatrick Hotel & Country Club

Checking-in into the hotel at 3:30 pm and the hotel is quite impressive. The room is nice, the bathroom is big, the view to the golf course is refreshing and the health club is up to my standard.

Unfortunately, I think I’m falling sick. I’m already homesick and I do not need this. I’m taking some pills now and hopefully will feel much better tomorrow.

Project 2: Mission Accomplished!

Another completion and many more to go. Today will be the last day staying at this wonderful hotel. I’m going to miss the staffs (funny & friendly) and the food (5 stars quality) here. Apparently, there were many celebrities stayed here before. From Justin Timberlake, Dolly Parker, Mel C, Gabrielle, to Bill Clinton. Although I didn’t spotted any while I was here. But there must be reason why these people choose to stay here.

Belfast is an up-coming hips city which is currently under a massive transformation. In another 10 years time, she will be one of the cities that you wanna visit in Great Britain.

Next stop, Hilton Templepatrick Hotel & Country Club, which is 10 miles away from Hilton Belfast. It is a golf resort. Too bad I don’t play golf and I can’t never understand the fun of hitting a ball and you have to go and find it? I just hope that they have a well equipped gym facilities awaiting for me there.

Here are some pictures I took last weekend.
