Botanical Garden

It's easter break! We decided to visit the Botanical Garden and Glass House located at Edgbaston. It was not too far from the city center, we took 20 minutes to reach there by bus.

Address: Westbourne Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 3TR
Tel: 01214541860
How to get there?
Buses: 10, 22, 23, 29 and 24 stop in Westbourne Road and Harborne Road.
Trains: Five Ways Station (15 minutes walk). Turn left on leaving the station, walk to the roundabout and then follow the signs.




We had a great day there seeing uncountable beautiful flowers.



The most impressive thing to see was, a VERY VERY HUGE sakura tree a.k.a. cherry blossoms.




and also...a wishing pond? Lol


There was also a big and wide space with green grass for you to run and jump around.



Posing with flowers! hehehe




There are many benches, you could sit and relax whenever you feel tired of walking too much.



There is a playground at the garden. The swings, slides, see-saw remind me my childhood days..

Lik Hung's big day

A friend of mine is turning 23 yesterday.

We went to The Mailbox for Japanese cuisine.

Shogun is another restaurant that offers great deal;

you can eat as much as you can for only £10 per person.

To be honest, last time the food taste better than now.

There are also less choices now where

I think Asian people wouldn’t prefer to come.

As usual we are always the first guests.

Arriving there around 6pm. I don’t really like to sit

in front of the sushi belt with a bunch of friends.

It is hard to make conversation and sushi is turning around.

We ate a lot, not common haha since we all are buffet experts

and there are also techniques to eat buffet.

We didn’t buy the birthday boy a cake because it was a last minute appointment. Before that, we were doing our photo shooting around the city. Will get him one next time, maybe next year! No cake but a family portrait of the gang.

Karaoke Session

Visited one of my favourite restaurants last week.

Karaoke is another popular culture in my country.

Before I came to UK, me and my friends can be in the

karaoke for a maximum of 3 times per week.

It is so cheap during afternoon, costs not more than

£3 included food and drink. But you definitely can’t find for

this great deal in UK LOL. Hang Li Poh started their

business last year. I was so surprised to see another

Malaysian traditional cuisine in Birmingham.

Food is very traditional as I believe t

hat not everyone will like it. It still tastes like Chinese food.

Karaoke room is the best place to shout out.
The decorations are pretty new and creative as they
are still in renovation process now for extension.
This restaurant offers the cheapest karaoke price in
Birmingham I guess as I already did some research.
The only thing that I think they should improve is promoting.
The restaurant is not really promoted and it is
located in a small street where people wouldn’t have recognized.

Guess what? One Polaroid picture before we call it a day.

By the way, they are my pre-sessional friends :)
