A New Gym Membership

Just came back from the neighbourhood gym. Took it easy, since it’s been 2 months since my last proper workout. It feels really good to be moving my body in this frigid weather; we’ve reached slightly below zero these few days. The gym is decent. I don’t expect too much. So far, the gym seems […]

Two Months In.

Almost 2 months in London now. What can I say about this whole experience? I’m glad to say that I’m slowly adapting to life here, but this new environment is constantly throwing new things for me to adapt to. Lately, there’s the daylight saving which ended on 30th October. Suddenly the days seem so short; […]

Picking Up Cooking

Day 4. I’ve decided to learn how to cook. Personally, I don’t feel that cooking is difficult. I can understand the general concept of basic cooking, now it’s just a matter of putting in the time practising. Throughout this afternoon, I’ve spent a good amount of time searching for simple recipes online, collecting those that […]

A Brand New Adventure! Day 0.

This is it. Just finished packing all my stuff. I’ll be flying off tonight at 2230hrs. Woke up earlier than usual this morning, and after a quick visit to my dear mom, I went to the usual cafe to have my usual tea and toast breakfast. It didn’t feel quite the same. Since I’ve a […]

16th August 2022 – An Update

After 6 months of waiting, I’ve finally received my visa. Took the day off to collect my passport yesterday, but I wasn’t expecting to receive it though, since RuiRui was telling me I’m supposed to receive a letter which states whether or not my visa has been approved or not and I haven’t receive such […]

04th Aug 2022 – An Update

UK Decision Making Centre contacted me recently, in regards to my VISA application. They wanted me to send some documents and future proof of my relationship with RuiRui. That’s good since that means that they’ve received my application and it’s currently in consideration. I spent a good part of last week consolidating several selected pictures […]

06th June 2022 – An Update

How’s it hanging? Since 18th April, I’ve managed to find myself something (a job) to keep myself busy as I continue my seemingly endless wait for my VISA approval. It’s not too bad, this current arrangement. I stay busy, my mind stimulated and I get paid for my time. On top of that, it’s a […]

25th Feb 2022 – An Update

At the moment, I’m waiting for my UK Spouse Visa to be approved. The gentleman, who assisted me in processing my application, informed me that I’ve got to wait “60 working days” for the result. The husband of a good friend of RUI RUI was in the same situation as me, a few years back […]

Happy 2022!

It’s been a while since my last entry. We are 11 days into 2022. Things will be very different. I will be heading over to London to join up with my wife, Rui Rui. I’m aiming to fly over sometime in the middle of February. For the whole of this month, I’ll be preparing for […]

9 unchained days

It’s been 9 days since I’ve been a “self-employed” man. How do I feel? No Gym for Now. Let’s see. First and foremost, I wanted to “hit the gym” in the morning. It was one of the daily tasks I’ve given myself for a sense of routine and direction towards my personal goals. Since I’ll […]
