Bloomsbury Festival 2007

Woke up early to do my laundry this morning. Had been so busy for the past 2 weeks rushing out the Corporate Finance Valuation project. Finally, I'm done with the presentation on Thursday. Now.... It's time to play!!... Will be having my one week break this coming week.... I organized a trip to Stonehenge and Bath for some friends on Tuesday... Think it will be really fun... Yeah!!

Just came back from the "Pasar Malam" outside my hostel.... the Pasar Malam here is so different from the one in Singapore...

And by the way, if you look at my pics... I have gain so much weight... gosh.... You know what's my appetite now? For maggie noodles, it must be 2 packs... For mee sua, I use to eat only 1 bundle ("ten cent" in hockien)...now i have to eat 5 bundles... I can't believe it also... But but but but.... I can't help it... if I dun eat... I will be grumpy and uneasy.... How? Tell me how?? I'm gonna be a fat pig soon... Argh....

One month anniversay

It has been a month since I arrived in London. Time flies... whooo... 9 more months and I"ll have to be back in Singapore... sob sob... I dun wanna go back.... I'm loving the place so much right now... School work has been really hectic and the courses were really demanding.... definitely stressful man... look at us, gotta dabao subway to study room to eat on a Sunday afternoon.... Worked till late at night... Thanks to the assignments....

I'm gonna say it again... I love Camden Town... my favorite shopping district..This section is dedicated to my ex-lunch kaki (Angela). She wants to know what I've been eating at home. :)The above are some of the simple meals that I cooked for myself in the hostel... The noodles on the bottom left of the picture is the most recent dish that i experimented... damn good especially with the Hao Diao Jiu (chinese wine) that mum prepared for me. ~yummy sia~

Other than the hectic school work, I still have housework to do... washing, hanging and ironing of clothes, washing plates, cleaning stove, washing toilet bowls and clearing the accumulated hair in the drainage hole in the bathroom are but some of the household activities that i do. Every fortnightly, Henry will help me out with the vacuumming of my carpeted floor. Opps... forgotten to tell you that he is camera shy... look at the way he stares at me... hee hee....

London Business School MIF Away Day

Location:
Vision Development Training centre at Wokefield Park, near Reading in Berkshire. This is located about 40 miles west of London. Early in the morning 8am.... when the temperature was around 11 degrees celsius.... We were divided into groups to work on the challenging activities for the day...
Wow... so high.... it's about 6 storeys high... cool...We (in groups of four) were supposed to climb all the way up, stand on a very small board (size of a laptop) hold each other tightly before stretching our hands out to form a flower. I tell you... it's scary when you are up there....

Here we go....
Kevin and I before the trapeze jump... by the way, i missed it... :(
Here i go...
See the small "flower"??

Trying to figure out puzzles... din really like this... I prefer the outdoors...
Though I was sick during the middle of the day, I continued with the activities and really enjoyed every bit of it. This was our reaction when we heard that we will be having BBQ and wine for dinner!! YEAH!!

Mei Zhen is famous!! (Quoted from Y M)
