Guess who is back??!!!!!!! So preeetttttyyyyyy!!!!!!

I'm sorry but you might see more and more of her pics
in the coming posts! haa :D

my abode in london ;D

Finally updating my blog. Haha, here is what happened over the past weeks

Went to kinetica to see future sound of london, a british electronic band who does ambient music. Only one of the guys, Gas Cobbain came and i was just sitting behind him!



It was Resfest in London but the shows are costly. Only caught two sessions of shorts and missed some cool talk by Shynola, airside and d.a.d.d.y and the icon chef show. But i am still contented with the quality of shorts i have seen, really good.


Then went down to Brighton during that weekend! It is a long stretch of pebble beach alongside a peaceful little town with very blue sky and very strong wind. We even got a chance to stay with an english family and have english breakfast in an english living room! Haha. It was good fun and i dig their small shops in the lanes. Each of them with large window panel and complicated display. It is so messy that it is interesting to spend time just looking through. Nat and Jeri will love this.

The following week is a quiet week cause i was rushing my flash animation. Can see some screenshots here la but i dare not put up the real thing. Haha... It is not very well done cause i only spent 5 days on this 3 weeks project :p


And then my birthday quietly creeped by. David was very nice to give me my 1st birthday present by buying me to Christina Aguilera's back to basic concert. It was my first free standing concert in London at wembley arena. Totally cool experience and the background motion and music videos by David LaChapelle are very good!


Hmm this year is a quiet birthday for me because i tried as much not to let anyone know about it but there are still very nice friends who remembered. Thanks a lot Nat, Yiyong, Justin, David, Angela, Huimin and everyone who messaged me on MSN. In particularly this sweet girl

Thanks a lot Talia, i really really appreciate that :). Looking forward to seeing you and Mike soon!

And also my cute sister from france :)


and okay, to end the post i will sing a song for all of you and to celebrate my (old) birthday!













(just kidding)

Here's a quick update before i go to bed... Last weekend i went down to Mansion House to look at the Lord Mayor's show. It is a parade celebrating the election of a new lord mayor of the city. Unfortunately i was late for the meeting and ended up catching only the tail of the parade. Snapped a pic of the new lord mayor though.


Met my hall mates closed to midnight and we went fabric. It was my first time clubbing in uk after hearing so much about the scene here. And yeah, it was awesome man. The music was good, atmosphere was cool and the crowd was good bunch of fun loving people. Promised nat i will put up some videos we took secretly in the club and here it is... It was a fun night of frisking around, we went back to our hall at 5-ish, tired but relaxed.

Just finished a damn full dinner and since i'm lazy to shower now, shall do this update but before that, Happy Birthday to yiyiong again! haha, it's a bit late but i did message you on time la :p u guys are really making me jealous la after seeing that clip, i am laughing so hard just seeing that bit and really miss u guys here... i was just looking through the pics we took during yiyong's birthday last year and nat was missing from the pics, this year is my turn alrady ...sighs

okay here are the updates, lots of peektures as usual...

This is taken outside National Gallery where i saw a lady doing this
massive painting on the floor. Actually can see painters like these
everywhere here but i just happened to see her leaving when
i was leaving the gallery too. It was drizzling but she just very xiao sa de roll up
her painting and walked in the rain... so tempted to follow her
just to see where she's up to

This is a field linked up to a hill nearby my school,
will walk pass it on my journey to school...
find it very nice but photo didnt do justice here

The cinema where i caught my first movie in London central... alone.. hahah

Louis was in town recently and i am supposed to bring him around,
but guess i didnt do a good job as i am still not that familiar with the areas.

Sausages and mashes at S&M. Before that we were struggling if
we should eat at the malaysian restaurant beside it, hahah...
but one nasi lemak for £5 is ridiculous la

Pulled him to brick lane and visited kinetica meseum at old spitafield market.
They are having an exhibition on kinetic and electronic display of life form.
It is kinda cool and got to know that Future Sound of London is going to do a
show there with Yamaha soon! This place gonna be my favourite haunt :D

More of brick lane, more girl stuffs, Jeri and Nat will like this place.

Saw these beauties at Regent st last Saturday. It was a good display
of veteran cars in London, all more than 100 yrs ago. Some have
only 2 horsepowers, 1 cilinder and uses steamer. Amazing.
And their wheels are like huge bicycle wheels and they uses oil lamps
as car light. The part that really give character is the posh
passenger seatings, full leather finish complete with umbrella
holder. Haha.. and the whole english family will dress up really
classy and went on trips on these motors. I am really interested in
knowing what is the maximum speed they can go but
they arent any meters on the car

Fireworks! again... It was Guy Fawkes and London was having
bonfire night every where. I went up to Alexander Palace with my
flatmates and viewed a generous display of fireworks for about
half an hour! I think the amount of powder is enough to let
Singapore run three years of NDP... hehe :p
I have taken some videos of the fireworks, will try to post them up.

p/s : can someone show mel the pics, she sure will be very excited. :D

Ending this post with my new free haircut! hahah..

My ipod knows how i am feeling!

Whenever i put on shuffle songs mode, it never fails to play songs that suited my mood at that time and yesterday while i was on my way to school, i was thinking about something and the most suitable song just came on to match.. wahhh together with the fallling leaves and cold air, it was so damn dramatic hahah..

hmm it has dropped to 3 degrees today.. brrrrrr

I am lazy to type, but photos many many, hahah..

Took these at Camden Lock market, it is really big and notorious for
its punk markets selling gothic stuff and loads of girl stuff.
Nat and Jeri will love this. Check out the humongus chandelier!

Took these at Portobello Market. It sells food and loads of girl stuff.
Nat and Jeri will love this.


Shared this pumpkin walnut muffin with Angela which
eventually became our lunch of the day, hahah


and spotted some cutties too!


Another market! The Borough market. They were in celebration of 250 years
of being established on its current site, so some people dressed up in their
18th century costume and they have dances by costumed ladies and gentlemen,
music performances using period instruments and some fighting play. Quite interesing.
The market sells fusion food and delicacies. Nat and Jeri wont like this.
We had some fun going around stalls sampling their stuff.


Then the itch of playing with my shutter striked again and Angela
became my victim and she had to pose at the busy junction cuz i want
to get some wong kar wai effect. But i failed miserably without my tripod
and the lighting was flat. Nonetheless i had fun shooting her cuz
she is game enough to give funny expressions to the camera eventhough
people are watching. Check out her nice new haircut and stylo coat!
Must ask her out for a proper photoshoot soon! hehe


We stopped by Tate modern for a while on the way to covent garden and
saw the slides by Carsten Holler at the turbine hall.


And it started raining when we left tate modern and as we were walking in
the rain under one umbrella on the railway bridge, we saw this huge rainbow!


so romantic!! I could have take out a ring and proposed alrady! hahaha...
and it has to be the biggest rainbow i have ever seen ;D

Saw this pretty busker on the way to covent garden,
no idea how she manage to make the crystal ball seemed floating in the air


and last monday, i watched my first musical in London!!
It was really good, thanks a lot david ;)
