I have spent the past 4 days in London, and whizzing off to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow. Paid several visits to Canary Wharf, the financial district that I have fell in love with it! When I grow up, I have resolute aspirations to work there. I know it sounds cheesy, but hey don't blame me for liking a perfect mixture location of commerce and retail.

Perfect for a hangout, perfect for a fashion or food fix, perfect for business, you name it! Not only it is a recession biter (it emerged stronger than ever from the 08' crisis), it has also proved an attraction for teens! on my last visit i was surprised on how many uniformed students were there! (although the men in suits still outnumber them).

Just a few snapfacts of the place from wikipedia. (It's cool because....)
*UK's leading developing and traditional financial centre.
*Contains 3 of UK's tallest buildings. Cititgroup Centre, Canada Square, and 8 Canada Square. *Centers around world leading firms headquarters, HSBC, Credit Suisse, Clifford Chance, Goldman Sachs, and FTSE!
*Has an underground shopping centre! i never cease to avoid Zara on each of my visit. (oh my)

Anybody interested in finance, banking, law, rich husbands, this IS thee place.

Ah!

t's the last day before school reopens, or really, before boarders return, and I feel quite hollow from the play and leisure from this weeks' holiday! How can really be someone be sick of a holiday? When you sit around doing nothing all day and forced to do huge amounts of work. It sure gives you huge sense of fulfilled responsibility, but you just don't feel satisfied! anyway, my posts gotta stop being so pessimistic and negative.

MMmm so what so positive has happened during this week on the course of my life?

Monday - Went to London to stay with Minh and Quang's cousin. Thien, though a small residence, but what a day! I lost ten pounds in a 3 hour intense poker session. I should've known i wasn't born for that sedentary sport. (My best hand was double Ace x)


Tuesday - Woke up extremely late. and we spent the day playing tennis in a freezing weather which I admit I didnt perform well. After lunch we toyed around then dinner was a memorable event. Thien (cousin's name) took us to one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the City, and i ate frog as a starter! wasn't bad. Guess what we did after that? more poker.


Wednesday - We went to CANARY WHARF, London's financial centre to errr. shop. We felt so queer and seperated there because men and women in suits and formal blouses were patronizing every single shop and cafe, while we in our hoodies and puffy jackets were innocently just strolling around without a purpose. lol AT night, ah we were the spectators (digitally) of the epic CHAMPIONS LEAGUE match between.............

VS.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday - The monotonous working days of HOMEWORK. But hopefully my attempt at jailbreaking my ipod compensates for my weariness for the past 3 days. How can ANYONE, feel bad during a school holiday? unless you're dexter of course

gadgets!

This is a video on something that an MIT post-graduate student has build upon over years. It's still in stages of progress but at this stage the basic utilities can be made known through obvious demonstrations.

AGain, this shows the innovative tech industry that America has been spearheading. I think how technology advances is played out on a scale in the portability pioneers makes out of technology, how small you can shrink a laptop to, how connected the world becomes through fb (again, to make the world seem smaller), how convenient it is to access information anywhere.

This probably takes it abit further. See for yourself it'd be interesting to see comments!

imma back in the UK!
and its super freezing.

The flight from AirAsia, needless to say was bumpy and not exactly the most comfortable flight, but at least there were no crashes where i expected them. One major dissapointment wsa the removal of the touch panel screen in front of each passenger seat! (they replaced it with a cushion =.=)
