Day 59

Test test new recipe
Not totally fantastic. But one thing I realise, you tend to be more forgiving when it comes to your own cooking.

Besides the 10/10 great fellowship in OCF evenings, the snacks that came along our word study is rated with the same score!

This blog will be freezing for the next 2 days.
Be making a Solo trip down to Northern Ireland between 1st March - 3rd March
No Maps, limited knowledge, not much plans and itinerary. I'm just gonna go and see what's installed

Its kind of a thing I'll never ever do because I hate to be alone.
I'm not totally alone though, My best friend is travelling with me.

Expenditure for the month of Feb: GBP 260.10

Day 58, Lets part the red sea

A Pipe burst on my way to school today.
Lots of by-passers took out their cameras to snap a shot for whatever reasons.
And I followed suit...

Headed to the Library free access cluster to do some mugging after class.
I used to print all my readings and lecture notes back in NUS.
But due to the high cost of printing here, I gotta make do with reading from the screen. 'Together, you and I can save the world'

Met Joseph and Charity coincidentally in the library. Man, studying beside the RJians
made me super stress.


Charity bought a USB vaccum cleaner for his Dad's birthday. Man, the design was unique!

So, looks like lots of attention have been given to the all-hailing, cool mushroom looking, Centre Parting hairstyle recently. This 'fashionable tool' swept the whole of Asia into a hot craze and frenzy back in 1995-1998.

Speaking of which, how could we not pay tribute to Mr Aaron Kwok?




Or the Boyish looking 'Girl Killer' from Backstreets?
Okay, Camy this is the part you're supposed to SCREAM





Were you one of these young innocent Victims swept by the craze?





My condolences to certain individuals


Power lah Johnboy!

Day 57

There was an earthquake tremor in London last night.
I was sitting in my room, surfing the net.

At 0230hrs thereabout, I felt my chair spinning by a force in a circular fashion.
I remember it to be the exact 'feeling' I got in an earthquake back in Taiwan 2006December.

I look out of my window, opened my door to see if there was any commotion. Everything seemed to be dead still. 'It must be my own imagination.' I thought.
The next day, on facebook, on tabliods and in conversations were 'Did you feel that last night?' 'Yes I did.'

Went for a run with Gordon this evening. He was like my tour guide bringing me through an orientation run, shooting pictures along the way.

When we pass by this very nice building, I asked him 'What's this?'
'Your favourite building lah...'
No... its not my favourite building, its the Old man's favourite building.
Buckingham Palace- The Queen's Official Residence.



If you have caught 'National Treasure 2' This was the place where Nicholas Cage broke in to steal the codes on the stone tablets.

Westminster Abbey (Where Issac Newton and other famous ppl are buried)

We decided to take a break under Waterloo bridge by the River Thames where there was a 2nd hand book fare. An Ang Mo lady came up to me and said, 'Excuse me, how much are these books?' I was trying to decipher what she was saying and she went
'Don't you work here??' Man... looks like I look equally lup sup after I have shaved.

On Waterloo Bridge

The Beautiful London Skies

Outside the very busy National Gallery

'Hey Brother Bill, what do you think of my brother Phil?'

Meet my brother 'Spencer Chua'


After the Long Nong run, we did 4 sets of static exercises consisting of pull-ups and
'bridge' (abs exercise) By the time I hit the 3rd set, I was already doing assisted pull-ups with Gordon pushing me up. Malu sial...

2250hrs: Operation Vulture

We had a GREAT Harvest of Pastries.
I think we brought back almost 50 pounds worth of bread, sandwhiches and Organic tomatoes which was ACE.
In the pile: Roast Chicken Sandwhich,
Long bread sandwhich with 'Roasted Beef' / Ham and Cheese/ Mushroom Vege

The Organic Tomatoes look really fresh and beautiful. So rich in colour that it looked abit fake.

We had so much food that we started distributing to the rest of the Hall.


Thanks Mr Gordon Spencer for taking time out to show me around during the run today!
and also inconveniencing yourself to run with your camera to snap pictures.
Xie xie ni! ;p

2000hrs- The Singaporeans invaded the Goldsmid Common Room







And Gordon had a 2nd candle blowing session

Thanks for that Unglam shot there Charity

Its an eye for an eye


This is Lucy, staying diagonally opposite me. Never really got the chance to know her because we seldom meet in the corridors, Kitchen or common room.

I was glad to be able to talk to her more today. She was sharing with me her passion for travelling. She will be staying in Japan for 3 mths this August. Going to be working in the fields as a farmer in the countrysides of Japan. She provides her labour, the farmers provide her with lodging and food. Cool right?

We got Gordon the gift, but we did not have a card to write on! Thank God for Charity's creativity. She fold a T-shirt using paper and we wrote of the back of the paper T-shirt.

Gift presentation Ceremony

A HOT Pink table Lamp for Gordon to light up his room while studying.

Hey my Marks and Spencer Buddy, wish you a Happy Birthday man. 22years old liao, better stop living off the supermarket!
