Today while travelling to work, I found myself contemplating on all the train travel I did my entire life. I was 14 when I first started travelling by train, and now it's been 13 years going up and down the big old Western Railway. Gosh, that is an awfully long time!

Yesterday, I was witness to a magical, sparkly wedding. One of my good friends married her long-time boyfriend.

I haven't posted in a while! In fact, my LJ lay dormant for the whole of July. Today after a long time, I'm finding myself relatively free at work. I have about two hours before I can start working on something; just waiting for some guys to finish their work so I can start mine.

Anyway, with nothing much to do, I thought maybe I could update my ( Read more... )
