Trip to Reading


The hospital where Awa and myself were born

Today we went to my birthplace, Reading to meet and pick up Jo's friend from her apartment. She just quit her job at Microsoft and will be going back to Malaysia for good. On the way to her apartment I took the opportunity to stop near Royal Berkshire Hospital. However, I couldn't find my parents' old address, the sat nav just couldn't locate the postcode. Anything could happens for the past 30 years and the area might have just been redeveloped into something else.

After we pick up Shima and her belongings, we went to The Oracle, a huge shopping complex right in the middle of Reading city centre. We went to have sushi meals in one of the Japanese restaurants and I was quite surprised to see my former Lancaster seniors having the lunch there with their kids. Apparently both the husband and wife have been working in the private sectors in London for the past three years. 

We came back to Liverpool around 8.40pm and the whole house was in the dark. Apparently Awa is observing the Earth Hour!
