It’s Friday and the thought of cooking and eating in our cramped apartment was not enticing. So A and I decided to meet up at Angel. One of the annoying things about London is that everytime you walk into a restaurant, you’re effectively gambling away roughly £25. You really just never know if your coke [...]
Did you know that Oxford University’s brand colour has it’s own Pantone code? Neither did I, until today, because I bought a blue Oxford t-shirt for my da and was wondering if maybe I should have got grey. Turns out I got lucky. So a few new things have changed since my last post. Most [...]
It is quite possible, that we’ve found heaven…as we know it. A random suggestion to visit London Bridge has lead us to the goldmine that is Borough Market. We had no idea what would be at London Bridge, well, besides a bridge. So when we stepped off the bus and saw a sign saying “Borough [...]
Hey guys! Photos by popular demand! Would love to have given you more, but house hunting has temporarily taken over our lives. Actually some photos of the ridiculous places we’ve seem would’ve made a good post, we’ve seen one with a brick wall outside the window, one with NO window, one with NINE bedrooms, one [...]
It’s been 1 week since me and A arrived in ye’ old London, so I do apologise that I haven’t updated everyone earlier! I promise that we are both well! Our first week has been light, mostly getting used to the transport system – which puts Australia’s to SHAME!!! Tube (trains system) and buses run [...]
I don’t usually blog twice in one day, but I just came home from a scrum-didli-umtious dinner and wanted to share. Plus it’s good practice for future blogathons. Today was my sister’s graduation ceremony (Congrats!!), and we thought a splurge on a congratulatory dinner was in order. Steak was on everyone’s mind, and since Rockpool [...]
As some of you may know, A and me are planning our working holiday to UK. It feels good to be out of the ‘talking’ phase and into the ‘doing’. Interviews for our visa application are set for tomorrow, and we’re both a bit nervous. They definitely do a good job of freaking us out [...]
At the suggestion of an old and well read friend. I read the short story “The Man Who Planted Trees” by Jean Giono. The story is both simple yet profound and I can fully appreciate how it has endured over many decades and translations. Stories that inspire the human spirit usually do. Unlike movie trailers [...]
Yesterday marked the last day of the Dali Exhibit at the NGV. Me and the girls managed to sneak in some cultural time on Friday before a full-on shopping spree at Bridge Rd; and I must say… it was worth it! A 30min wait in line for the tickets and a massive crowd wasn’t ideal, [...]
According to Google, today is Confucious‘ birthday (technically it should be October 15th for the 2009 Lunar Calendar). I click on the Google customised event logo, eager to learn something of this great philosopher from my ancestry. Besides the warranted link to Wikipedia, I link to a page of his quotes. I always knew – [...]
