 After half a year of procastinating, I finally did what i promosied to my beloved oneS. Here is my update. It seems quite weird for me to write on sth happened several months ago though. The first pic, as u can see, was taken on my 1st day of arrival. It's all like a dream, I am finally in London, doing the master which I longed for. One of my aims this year is to learn to be independent. And the first challenge is ---- carrying all these luggages back to my hall -_-. Seriously, they weighted as heavy as me. But, i made it. Thanks to numerous anonymous passerby. T he pretty gal next to me is Emily, my lovely sister in Jesus. Visiting her place was one of my most enjoyable time in London. Hospital as always, she cooked for me. (well, all guys who know Emily would envy me by then =P) . The background of this pic is the renowned Westminster and Big Ben. The nightview of them were gorgeous. This one is taken at an Italian restaurant, can't remember its name though. I guess its sth like Stranda or sth. Anyway... The cost of living in London is unreasonably high, esp for those who is not earning sterling.
The above two pics were taken in Mid-Autumn Festival. There is a Chinese saying that one will espacially miss ones family members during festivals. This is the 1st festival I had abroad. Thanks Gill for organizing the dinner and the "moon-watching" party, I was not as home-sick as expected. I guess i had abondoned the ritual of playing lantern since high school, but it was fun picking it up again this year. Tell u what, this year's mooncake was particularly delicious =P. This one was taken at the lounge of my hall. Some bros and siss in my church was organizing a outreach "hall visit" and their first stop was my hall--High Holborn Hall. Though I struggled a bit in the begining, I now settled in this church. The bros and siss there are very passionate in serving God. I am truly amazed.
This was taken in my kitchen when we were having "Ma Tai Go" (waterchestnut dumpling?). They are the friends with whom I most frequently hang out.
I am not sure if I am correct, this one was taken somewhere near Camden Market. People, pay attension to the sky! Seldom in England will u see a clear sky, not to mention sunshine. The situation is even worst in Winter. Its either foggy or windy. Unbrella now becomes a necessity. The sun has already gone at 4:30 pm. The whole atmosphere was fairly dull. Having said that, it may not be a bad thing for me, coz it forced me to stay indoor and study =P. This was taken outside the Royal Albert Hall in October.
For those shopaholic, you must know what that building is. This is HARRODS. My friends told me that u will bump into a lot of celebrities there but i got no luck. A lot of shops are now on sale. Unlike HK, the sale here is really a "sale". Price is deducted to 30% or even lower . Of course, I did make gd use of this opportunities to shop XD. ....... Time flies. One sem has already passed. Overall, I love London, the place, the ppl and everything. ........ I thank God for his guidance and comfort all along. Amen. PS. I also upload some of my Germany pics to my nearly obsolete ablum. For those who are interested, http://www.imagestation.com/members/tracysauyee is the link. I will upload the pics for Swiss later =P. When I say later, i mean LATER =P. One last word to my friends in HK, I MISS U ALL =D |
