UGBY. COME ON ENGLAND. This flag got ppl stopping and taking photos along the busy camden streets.

Interesting sales gimmick. All the ppl who passed by just stopped, mesmerized, and poked at the bubbles like little children.
Goth stores..what camden is famous for.

Happy happy happy but tiring days. Went camden yesterday but it took us a long time to get there due to several misadventures so we were both in a crappy mood. But when we'd arrived, camden town didn't disappoint. I forgot how much i liked the place considering the last time i'd been there was last yr with joanne. Camden has such a fantastic vibe about the place with the distinct goth fashion and throngs of punks and markets stock full with clothes(goth and otherwise), accessories, shoes and food food food!! There're food stalls ranging from chi, thai, indian, mexican, morrocan, turkish, caribbean, italian, spanish and even russian food..yumm. Camden is really very different from the rest of the london. Everything feels so uninhibited and free. One goth store called cyberworld had a girl up on a platform wearing stilettos, black mini hot shorts and mini spag top dancing away to blaring trance..really cool and brilliant crowd-puller. There's just too many things to see and the only bad thing about the place is that they only accept cash so i have to remember to bring plenty when i go there next time.

The past few days were pretty busy since classes are starting next week and i had to plough through the textbooks, lecture notes and do up my assignments in time for my monday classes. I'm finding my routine again and now it's easier to breathe once i've arranged and prioritised. Sch work is getting more interesting and challenging. But its not as bad as what all the seniors say...or at least it's still manageable for now..haha i dunno.

My mum has been calling me for the past few days to update me on my airtix changes and everytime after i put down the phone, i just feel like going home immediately and eating all my fav food. But life's like that..we can't always have what we want can we? So i shall just make the most out of london and enjoy myself.

It's been ages since i last blogged and that's because i haven't internet access in my room but now i do!! yay! It's been a tremendously long 3 weeks plus since i've been back...enough time to settle into a house, move out, find another place and move in and make lots of new friends and learn how to cook more yummy dishes and make kimchi from yongseo's korean housewife friend who married a british. I think being a korean housewife is not easy. They have to always cook loads of darn good food and keep the house clean and they never say no to their husbands or children..they always give in.

Su yeung and martin invited us over for lunch on sunday and I was amazed at the amount of food she piled on the table for lunch but yongseo said it's normal because she is a korean housewife..and after playing badminton with martin and her damn pretty daughter hana, we returned inside the kitchen to find 2 huge plates of sandwiches and biscuits and salad and chips for tea. omg. omg. omg. Super pig out day. We couldn't eat dinner after all that food! Oh and their house is actually in zone 4 so we took a bus to golders green which is zone 3 and surprisingly near our houses and then we walked through this very very very beautiful park which had a creek running parallel to the narrow path we were walking on. The trees bended down above the path and it felt like such a fairytale setting with the greenery and the sound of water gently trickling...i was half expecting to catch a glimpse of a fairy. Really felt like we were in the countryside even though we were still in london.

Anyway, i really like my new place now. I feel a lot more independent and free and my housemates are pretty nice and they are hardly in. Landlord is also very nice and even comes in 3 times a week to clean the house..with my cheap rent..i couldn't ask for more. It's also a lot more convenient to get around because i have the jubilee line juz 5mins away and lots of buses that head to central area..i can get to oxford street in 12mins by tube and sch in half an hour including walking time..yay! There are many thrift shops and cheap minimarts in this area too plus a big sainsburys and my neighbourhood is very safe so i've got a good deal. The first 2 weeks back was quite mad and crazy but now i can just relax and focus on sch. So no, i don't feel like i'm missing out just because i'm not sharing a flat with singaporeans.

Sch officially started today with macro lecture and since classes haven't started, this week is pretty slack for me. Just need to get all my new textbooks and get into the momentum of studying again..feeling quite rusty though.












All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
but the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
