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 ;)

Finally get to swim today! woo hoo~

I am typing this entry on the London Southwest trains on my return journey from Addlestone to London. It started with a casual chat with a friend on MSN. I was telling him that I wished to look for a part time job and he gave me his aunt’s contact in London (who owns a Chinese restaurant). On thurs morning, after getting my mobile line, I gave her a call and within 5 minutes into our conversation, she asked me to pack some clothes and she would pick me up to my work place. I was jolted but I went ahead anyway since I have nothing much to do. I am normally not that gutsy but I thought that has to change as I ll never know if I don’t try.

She picked me up at North Greenwich and after what seemed like a rather long journey to me, she left me at her friend’s restaurant, which I will be working at. The place is really far from my hall and I m supposed to bunk in with the workers throughout the weekend. And there I was, out of no preparation at all, spent my weekend there working for two nights and earned myself £70 (this week’s hall fees taken care of :D) The whole experience was somewhat challenging but I got through it anyway and I am glad that I went.

Right now I have to think carefully whether to continue working there as I have worries about the long journey to and fro work and also loosing my weekend to possible outings and activities with friends. The pay is not exceptionally attractive too but somehow I feel that I have a lot to learn from the young fellows there in term of working attitude and life experiences. I know I might not get similar treatment elsewhere especially with Caucasians or ill natured hongkongers. Hmm think think think…

Gonna take a nap now and might drop by Oxford St to get a laptop bag to reward myself :D

Many nights ago Chee Kuan asked me to go to his room to see something cool on youtube. And so I went and we were totally fascinated by what we saw. The video shows a no-sweat way of folding t-shirt! Check this link to see how it works:

We were so excited that we decided to make one ourselves and try it out!

And yeah it works well and I had all my t-shirt folded nicely in my cupboard already (in less than 5 mins :D)

Friday I had an outing with the classmates. The group met at Oxford Circus and walked down to Chinatown to have lunch. After lunch we hung around Leicester Square and the girls decided that they wanted to do a movie and since the guys wasn’t interested, we went to play games at a nearby arcade instead. That was the first time I spent money playing arcade games in UK and I thought it was really silly because each game cost £1, which is a freaking S$3. Not long after the girls decided to drop the movie idea, we thought of moving to Covent Garden to look for a toyshop. In the midst of our journey, we popped by the National Portrait Gallery (which I had wanted to visit for a long time). I actually was quite fascinated with the paintings but too bad the group found it boring so they moved on quickly. Made a mental note to visit the gallery again and we stopped at Trafalgar Square not long after and it was there they decided to change the destination again. We visited the Institute of Contemporary Art instead and the guys wasted £1.50 looking at empty rooms. Ha ha, very contemporary indeed. After the visit I have to leave the group because the hall mates are meeting up for mid autumn fest dinner. During my journey home I was so anxious because I was supposed to give Angela a call to confirm about the dinner but I have forgotten to bring along her phone no. In the end she waited for me for a long time at Piccadilly Circus. I am really sorry about that.

The dinner was great with warm unity of the Chinese in the halls. Ha ha. There are more Chinese here actually but only 7 of us turned up for dinner but that was good enough. Chee Kuan and Angela did a great job on the food and we were all so full in the end. And Thanks to mom, I have got two mooncakes to share with them :D

Chee Kuan giving tips to the ladies, he is so damn hilarious :D
