The One with First Easter Holiday with FXC + 2

Life has been really hectic and BORING in Sheffield.

until EASTER

On the 8th of April 2011, the Friday when lecture ended and easter holiday begun, a small portion of friends from all around the UK came over to Sheffield for a quick busy student life getaway

As usual, brought them around boring ol' Sheffield, makan, minum, chillaxxxxx.. :)

On the 9th of April, morning - headed down to Peak District . Lovely weather, lovely breeze, amazing scenaries :) absolute BLISS LAAAA!!!

The brief summary of the day:-
Started off from SHEF > EDALE > CASTLETON > SHEF > COVENTRY

It's practically summer there :) warm and lovely.

An amazing macro shot if I do say so myself :p

Ada banyak Sheep and Lamb there.

Then head down to coventry in the evening around 6pm.
around 8:30pm - Karaoke at Coventry, sang my heart out, with my fabulously horrible voice :)

Next day, heading to birmingham from Coventry.

Chilling time. Watched shrek, played monopoly deal,
