Isle of Arran 3 days 2 night GG-ied Part 1

Isle of Arran is an island which is accessible via ferry service operated by Caledonian at 2 points, one at Brodick and another one at Lochranza.



It is a kidney-shaped like island and you can get around each town by local bus. A daily rambler ticket that allows one to hop on and hop off for just 4.40 pounds. However, do bear in mind that bus runs more infrequent from autumn onwards. We have managed to cover 3/4 of the island, i.e. Brodick --> Whiting Bay --> Kildonan --> Blackwater foot --> Balmichael --> Lochranza





Upon entering the track leading to Glenashdale Falls, we saw some highland cattles feeding themselves with nothing but grass. I think they are female, that is why they have got no horns.



Although it shows only 1/2 mile (0.8km) to Glenashdale, it actually took us quite sometime to get there.




We went through all kinds of paths in the jungle - there were small stream to cross, there were lots of tree with the signboard hiding somewhere unobvious, there were alot of hills that we need to climb before finding the right way out of the jungle.










Luckily the owner of the place we stayed offered us a map a day before, if not we sure could not make it to the Glenashdale Falls.






Half way through the jungle treckking, we found a wooden bridge and we could see the waterfall from far. At least we were assured that we were on the right track.






The weather was nice that morning, it was slightly chilly. we even took off our jackets, scaft and gloves for some pictures.




We continued moving until we reached Iron Age Fort. There was nothing much to see but a few stones.








After another 10 mins walk, we finally arrived at a platform where we could admire the grand Glenashdale Falls.










After that, we continued to move on with the extended route to reach Giant's Graves. We climbed several hundreds steps before reaching the hilltop to the Giant's Graves.















We made it! Next post I will blog about interesting animals spotted in Isle of Arran!

ADV - Where would you take a last-minute break in the UK?

Anyone yearning to go on a hoilday after a year of continuous working and studying? one of a problems when one decides to go on a holiday is that it is already too late to get acoomodation! the last things anyone wants during a holiday is to check in to a dirty hostel or hotel after having paid a hefty sum of money!

last minute breaks is the solution! this website offers you places to stay in every part of the UK at reasonable prices, and up to 70% off normal rates! best of all, they have everything that you may be looking for - from cosy, home-from-home properties to luxurious 5 star estate; you say it, they have it!

plus one can never get enough of UK..london, for one is filled with night life especially the areas around leicester square and london's famous chinatown where chinese shops line the whole stretch of road, offering abundant chinese delicacies. do not forget madam tussaud's, harrods and the famous london eye too!

Going on a holiday in UK does not mean all city life with no tranquility. there are plenty of islands around scotland such as Isle of Skye, Isle of Arran and Isle of Lewis which offers peaceful moments away from the hustle bustle of the city. last minute breaks gives you just the right choices you need for an accomodation! whether you are willing to splurge on your stay or save up for next trips, they have a whole range of prices of accomodation which suits everyone!

anyone clueless as to what to do in these islands should really surf up on them on the internet because there really is plenty of activities to be done! Isle of Arran, for one, offers visitors a sight of seals basking ashore, highland cattles, red deers that can be seen in close proximity! sounds unbelievable but it's true! one may also consider going to the much talked-about Glenashdale falls or climb the island's tallest mountain, Goat Fell.

so the next time anyone plans to go on a holiday, fret not to have not booked a proper accomodation because last minute breaks is here to help! =)

Expectations from Isle of Arran

Isle of Arran - a small and peaceful island, beautiful location with rugged coastline on the west coast, lovely beaches, dramatic mountains & such a varied selection of wildlife.


Alot of wild animals are expected to be seen on the Isle of Arran. I just want to take pictures with some highland cattles and climb Goat Fell to catch some stunning views of the island.


Weather forecast shows that it will be raining tomorrow and the temperature will be around 10-13 degrees. Wind is predicted to be 36 miles per hour. Siao wei! That means the only downside would be the weather...

ADV - Dragon Naturally Speaking 10

Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 is an useful tool in blogging/typing emails for both business and home use. Watch the video and read the article written by Lisa below.



Here is another great video review by Lisa, who coincidently writes the blog Lisa Reviews. She writes about how she can write at 150 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

I think one of the key takeaways from her video, the key insight that is, is that she is able to write a lot more in those spare moments of time that she has while she's doing other things. Sometimes it's great to multitask, but it's even more important to be able to accomplish useful goals in those spare two or three or four minute pockets of time that we all experience throughout the day.

With Dragon NaturallySpeaking a four minute pocket of time can translate into 600 words! That could be three or four e-mails or one or two long blog articles if you're a blogger like Lisa.
Slick

For just $99 you can get started with Dragon NaturallySpeaking and have it trained in running in about seven minutes. The software with version 10 is simply amazing.

I have been writing about Dragon NaturallySpeaking for almost 2 years now. I have been able to type at rates of up to 167 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. That speed was clocked while I was taking a typing test, but even in practical situations when I factor in not only the time it takes to type, but the time that it also takes to edit the words I typed, the end result is that I can still achieve about 100 words a minute, INCLUDING editing time! J

That is extremely fast, and the inclusion of editing time, speaks to the advances that you can see in version 10 as compared to older versions such as version 8 or version 9. It's a lot easier to edit on the fly with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.

So if you're looking for a practical tool for your home office, for your writing or blog work, or even just to keep up with e-mail in your spare time, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can give you the power to write at 150 words a minute for a price that starts at $99. Heck, I think I paid that much almost for my last keyboard so that I wouldn't pound my fingers to death. :-)

Sincerely,
Brett Bumeter

PS this article includes about 376 words that I wrote with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10. It took me about 3 1/2 minutes to write and edit this article, which is just a little bit better than 100 words per minute and that includes editing time.

Oiii why GBP is so low now?

17 month ago when i left malaysia to study in UK, the currency was 1 GBP to almost rm7. That was really high. Uk currency was very powerful that time. But today, one week before i am going back to malaysia, the conversion rate is 1.00 GBP to rm 5.77. Why is GBP freaking weak now ohh? WTF ohhh?




Imagine changing 1.5k GBP to malaysian ringgit with 2 different rates :
a) 1GBP to rm7.00 ; 1.5k GBP = rm 10,500
b) 1GBP to rm5.77 ; 1.5k GBP = rm 8,655


That means, if i have 1.5k GBP and change them into malaysian ringgit right away, i freaking lost RM 1845 !!!!!!! DENG! @_@


On the other hand, i went swimming again this morning. This is confirm the last swimming session before i go back malaysia liao. So, since this is the last class, i used almost all of the time praticing sitting and standing dive by myself! wooohooooo!!! Each and every jump made me feel great! On one occasion, my swimming goggles came off when i dived into the water, water pressure hit my chest, i cant open my eyes in the water, panicked and almost got myself choke. Emma guided me on standing dive and I practiced at least 10 subsequent times by myself! hehe. Sometimes i managed to dive nicely but sometimes something very weird happened. Very hard to explain. Come to think of it, it is actually quite dangerous to dive/dive without guidance. -_-"


I love swimming, perhaps i started to love swimming after i was given chances to learn swimming. I remembered when i first arrived glasgow, i was very keen to swim. The first 2 times were during winter time in february, that time only hs and i went to try out. I was stopped by the staff and warned not to swim near the deep end. Why? BECAUSE I WAS A NOOBIE that time. So i started to go for beginner's class every thursday morning or friday afternoon. Later on, Ed and Sm both joined gym and thus the 4 of us went swimming quite regularly. Before this, i was very upset because i cant swim. You can swim, do you? Today, I am really happy because i can finally swim, plus dive!


Swimming is definitely another big achievement that i have achieved in glasgow besides completing mpharm degrees.



Thank you Jenna, Emma, Mark and colleagues!!!
Thank you hs, sm, wm and ed!!

because i am so smart

all i did was click ONE button and the item is already on its way. i do not have to worry about not receiving it in time before i fly back to malaysia because they are delivering it first class..first class yo!

above is not a story of a typical ''i buy things online with just a click'' because truly, nobody buys stuffs online with just a click without having to verify things like your name, add and most importantly, credit card number.

what i'm trying so hard to say here is that AMAZON.COM IS SUCH A SUCKER!! a big one at that! this afternoon, my itchy hands went to click a ''buy'' button for some unknown reasons and in most cases these online stores will ask to confirm and stuffs like that which you may consider as a hassle (not anymore for me). however, with just that one click, i received an email saying the item has already been dispatched and is on its way to my doorstep!!

like omfg can you imagine my horror??

the item was suppsoed to be eligible for free uk delivery but i ''chose'' first class delivery!

like omfg first class?? mr ding min tien???!!!

so yeah, there goes the story of a blur case surfing amazon website.

i is very angry now lo!! how can they activate the ''one-click'' to buy AUTOMATICALLY after my first purchase with amazon?? and the order cannot be cancelled until the item has been received and even with that, delivery charges have to beared fully by me!!

the main thing is??

...
...
..
...

i'm not even interested in that thing, let alone buy it!
