It’s been a while since I have managed to take photos, edit them and upload them all within 24 hours. I am quite impressed with myself. I went to shoot Occupy London at St Paul’s Cathedral on Sunday, and below are some pictures:

And here is a picture of a postman in old Royal Mail uniform at Russell Square:

This year is extra extra cold…I understand when they say the UK is plunging into ice age again. This was the view from my living room this morning:

This morning was beautiful, but like all beautiful things its often the most dangerous! In this case it was dangerously cold outside…

I went to Richmond on Sunday and took some pictures:

I missed being a Londoner, the hussle and bussle, the commuting to work by train. I realised from my house to Charing Cross door to door only takes around 30ish minutes. Not so bad eh? Yeah, but life goes on with or without being in London…

This is my desk at home as a result of 1-2 weeks of preparation…time to tidy up!

I have been back in London for a while now. The main purpose of being back is as I have written down in my previous post: job hunting. I have found myself a job now, which means that I have a month holiday as of today.

Being back here is almost like being back at school days…Lifesaving training started from September, I have been swimming every morning with my lifesaving friends despite my fasting.

My uncle is already in the UK for 1 week already. Next weekend, I will go to Liverpool with both of them. I have been told that Liverpool is very bad in terms of security. Perhaps I will need to buy insurance for my brother’s phone, and also make sure that he has a good lock for his laptop before coming here.

Oh and one more thing about liquid retention: Water is useless, if you want to store liquid in your body for the day use, drink juice (1/2 Juice, 1/2 Water works) or Lucozade Sport.

Too bad for England, we lost the world cup! Felt sorry for Iain as he sulked into his pint of beer. For me, I felt sorry for myself for being a victim of continual failure of London Underground’s ability to get its signals working. I waited for more than 20 minutes in Lancaster Gate station [...]

First day of uni after “all” my friends graduated, what “should” happen is that I go into Uni, everything look very familiar but I know no one. No one should actively come up to me and speak to me. But noooo…..By 10am, 2 people had already come up to me and talked to me about Japan [...]
