Explored Brick Lane Market with Marie and Zixi last Sunday. We came across much of such examples of waste.

ι Quietly with you and me

[This was taken in Lausanne as we decided to take a half-hour walk down the hill in the cold from Xin's house to Sally's house. The moon and the street lamps made that same reassuring glow. The cold was the refreshing sort and I felt so free and calm.]

ι Tinges of red from my eyes to my heart

[Taken from the bus-stop outside Sally's place in Lausanne, while we were waiting to take the bus up to school for Fete Uni.]

I’m back from Lausanne, Switzerland and I had an awesome time there. The scenery and surroundings are just so peaceful. Xin’s birthday party at her house on Friday and the party at their school, Fete Uni, on Saturday. I had fun helping out in the huge kitchen in their school, EHL. It was nice to do something different for a change. For Fete Uni, all the countries had to put up a food and drinks stand and a performance. The Singapore stand had chicken rice and satay. Surprisingly, the Singapore stand won Best Cocktail for the Singapore Sling. Good to see familiar faces Sally and Xinxin – friends from when we were young schoolgirls just 14 or 15. Sally was the sweetest host and we had so much to talk about. We made cheese fondue, chocolate eclairs and peach tarts when we were at home, or more like I was the helpful assistant and she was the master chef. Quality friendships, I like.

ι Peekaboo Pink

[Walking around the Central Saint Martins Charing Cross building, being interviewed by Miranda whilst helping her take photos for her journalism project. The building by the way, is really "decrepit", quoting Miranda.]

Today, being the 5th of November, means that I can hear fireworks going off constantly from my room. They’re celebrating Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Day. Or maybe Obama’s win. Tomorrow I’m off to Switzerland. Good time to straighten my thoughts and realign them again. Refresh my brain and take some photos.

All The Fun of the Fair

In London on November 3, 2008 at 2:02 am

ι Spinning round and round

[The lights from the rides of the fun-fair at Victoria Park. We went there to watch almost half-an-hour worth of fireworks.]

I’m so happy with all the colourful lights for the night from the fun fair and from the fireworks. On a side-note, Happy Birthday Xin Xin!
