One man lost is one man too many.

Adrian has passed away. I find it wierd to speak of him in the past tense. Just a year ago I bumped into him at Bugis again. One of the few occasions that we met after I graduated. Back in uni, he would turn up to support his classmates during the sports events. My only anger is that he had a hard life. Played by the system that we have here in Singapore. Trapped by the very own people that were supposed to protect us. He finally became a doctor but just had to succumb to a lung infection at a mere age of 29. Life is just so unfair.

Castles, witches and regalia...


And so we arrived in Edinburgh's Waverly Bridge


As we walked to our hotel, we passed by University of Edinburgh


And we arrived at our hotel. Ten Hill Place, a hotel managed by the Royal Surgeons' next door.


The Royal Mile, the cobber-stoned road that leads up to the Edinburgh Castle on one end and the Queen's Palace on the other.


Exterior of a Cathedral.


Across the moat and into the castle.


Statue on one side of the bridge across the moot.




War memorial within the Castle.


Cemetry for the little Royal Doggies.


The castle overlooks the entire Old Town of Edinburgh.









The fireplace of Queen Mary's chamber.







Queen Mary staring at us...
