Time really flies. I’ve been here in London for 4 weeks!! This is the longest that I’ve ever been in this city and I think that it’s great that I’ve gotten the chance to experience London as a non-tourist tourist. Just like anywhere that I have been to, I always find that it takes more...

Final posting on what I did last weekend!!!
Hopefully, this will not be too long a post…kudos for those who ploughed through my previous posts!! Even if you just looked at the pictures, thank you! Anyway, my Sunday started with us rushing to church (not unusual since church starts at 10am and its a 20min walk away from home. Being so tired from...

Day out…
As I had left off in the previous post, my bro and I were at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Unfortunately for us, we had arrived there after 6pm so the doors were closed and we couldn’t see anything inside. Right opposite St. Paul’s, is the Millennium Bridge and the Tate Modern, which is features modern art....

More walking around London…
Before I plug on about what I did last weekend, let me just state this: There’s a blardy tube strike since 7pm last night and will last till this Fri morning. I think its great that union workers have rights and that they exercise those rights. Bummer for the consumer/passenger like me who have to...

Walking around London City
Firstly, my bro’s flat is near Greenwich (yes..that’s where your GMT is!) and I can see the observatory from his balcony. Gor told me that at night, there will be a green beam from there…but I keep forgetting to take a pic at night! 😛 Anyway, on Friday, after we had finished our 2-hour lunch,...

Weird names of places in London
“Weird Names of Places in London” – that kinda sums it up for this post. Enjoy~ Hmm…if this were a residential place, would the residents be called Cheapskates/ Cheapos/ Cheaper/ Cheaps? Can you imagine living in this area and you’re giving directions to your friends when they’re coming to visit? “Oh…I live in Mudchute.” or...

Won’t be able to sit down for my long posts till Tue (Gor took leave on Fri and Mon) so this is just a quick shoutout to…. 1. Liling – Congrats on your wedding! Sorry that I can’t be there!! Have loads of fun and see you with the rest of our JC mates when...

Covening…
Met my ex-colleague yesterday at Covent Garden and she (plus her friend) were an hour late. So, I was already at Covent Garden and decided to walk around while waiting for them. Covent Garden used to be a market so there are shops within the market square and outside the tube station too. However, I...

More updates!!
Was introduced to these delightful snacks by my bro. Awfully fattening since each piece is around 71-76 calories but oohh so good. I think Waitrose ought to pay me for advertising their products….lol….but honestly, I think their products are really good. Had bought some of their stuff in Singapore and I had already felt that...
