Update


It snowed a little this morning, but I couldn't care less because it's another one of those weeks I'm having right now. Those divinely hellacious weeks of plenty of work stacked up before me and i'm trying to attack it with all I've got but it just seems that that bitch won't go down. I've got studio work that needs designing, and a report and text presentation to get cracking at. And mind you, it's all going down in the next week. And these assignments account for alot of marks and I'm already secretly freaking out.

Somewhere in my head, a little version of me is already banging his head against a wall, bottle of vodka in one hand and a pocket knife in the other. A nice mother-of-pearl inlay-ed knife. Hey, if I were to die from a stab wound at least let the knife I'm stabbed with be pretty damn nice okay. Diamond-encrusted nice.

Yes, my mind wanders when I'm doing assignments. And the presence of the internet does little to help. The only thing I'm glad in a weird way is the cold weather that has been keeping me indoors mostly. Which should be keeping me glued on the computer or desk working out my designs and report but I end up straying from what i'm supposed to do and end up with a whole lot of "Where did the time go?" questions at the end of the day.

Damn it.

Stay tuned.

PS: And it also doesn't help that the sun sets so bloody early. It just makes one feel like turning in earlier than one is supposed to. WORK DAMN IT. WORK!

Portobello













Just as I'm about to warm up to London, the temperatures spiraling down, as if racing against time towards freezing point. Oh wait, it already hit -1 a week ago. Oh well. Amidst this bitter cold, I still have the urge to explore more of this widespread city that like just an hour away. It's diversity in not only culture but spatial qualities have seemed to capture my heart.

I must admit before leaving Penang, I was very much looking forward to gallivanting around London doing only what the crazy youngsters will be up to. But when I got here, I started to dread going into the city. Perhaps it was the culture shock? Perhaps the weather? Financial woes? Who knows. I just know that I didn't really want to go there that often. But now, as the semester draws nearer and nearer to the end, I'm starting to harbour strong feelings of excitement and anticipation for the coming holidays when I hope to take in more of this city I'm just beginning to get to know.

One of the places that has captivated me: Portobello market. A gorgeous long stretch of vendors and stalls that seem to pour out from the shops into the streets during the weekends. A short walk down the road and I was already itching to but a couple of things. But I'll wait till the next trip when I will probably have more time to browse and make careful purchases.

Stay tuned.

PS: Yes, we'll have slightly bigger pictures from now on! Yay!

Hold on


Please Please Please stay tuned while I try to juice this puppy up! I've been insanely busy lately, and I'll try my best to update more soon-ish. I guarantee it.

Did I tell you it's fall by the way!
