Not the best of weeks in London. Bah, I daresay the most frustrating and irritating week in the UK thus far. But well, as that stupid cliche goes, life goes on.
Well, I guess it was good that I was feeling a sense of malencholy that I attended the Keane concert. Just insane. They just sound so darn good performing live! Tom Chaplin has incredible stamina. He ran up and down the stage throughout the whole concert which was about 15 songs long, maybe took a 2 minute break in between (to pee/drink up), yet his voice never sounded like it'd go out of tune. What a performance!!
The set was just awesome!
This was Wembly Stadium, just behind the Wembly ARENA where the concert was held. Hope to see a football matche there in my lifetime.
Friday brought much cheer and relief to me. For once in a long long time, I kicked studies and books out of my brain and just enjoyed the afternoon! Places I visited included Trafalgar Square (sounds like "The Vulgar Square"), Saint James' Park (no, not the Newcastle United Stadium) and Westminster Cathedral of the Precious Blood.
Trafalgar Square. I never knew my phone could produce photos of such high quality!
At night, it was yet another Cathsoc dinner, this time at Fiori's at Leicester Square. Hmm, pasta was ok I guess. It was evident that places like Strada and Bella Italia would have served much better pasta, but the one I had was passable. After dinner was Bar Ciao once again. Gosh I should stop frequenting that place, not because the food is crap. Quite the opposite in fact. Eating all that cream made me worried not about my weight or figure, but more about all that sinful white fluff clogging up my arteries. I shudder everytime I imagine what might happen.
Yes this is the "Stracciatella Sundae" I had. The top bit and the bottom bit is all whipped cream. Tasted heavenly at first, but got disgusting after a while.
Well the week-end finally arrived, and thank goodness for that. Saturday consisted of doing laundry, a little bit of work (one maths question), watching the game at the pub, going for a much-overdue jog and having dinner at Chinatown. This might sound like an absolutely boring and monotonous kind of Saturday (I should very well have been at London Games), but after one roller-coaster week, I decided that "Better bored than busy" is a sensible philosophy. I actually enjoyed the day in fact.
The view from Primrose Hill where I jogged to. Gosh, this was indeed breath-taking. And i really mean it. I mean, if my lungs were any weaker, the view would have taken my breath away, I would thus have stopped breathing and probably eventually just collapsed. Ok that was lame.
On Sunday, the inaugural VinE gathering was held at UCL. For 10 quid, I have to say the food was mightily worth it. I ate my fill indeed. I guess that even though I don't feel the same level of attachment to VJ now as I did back in 03/04, I'll say that it still felt kinda good doing mass dances and cheering.
Some of the nice people who made this event possible.
Well that's all for now. Good night to all, and may the next week be an easier one.
