Thousand apologies for not having updated for a while. It has been a very busy period for me with assignments, deadlines and lots of other major events including the visit of my dad. Well, I have little more breathing space now, so I thought it fair to blog a little.
Time really flies and it is already week 9 of term. Before you know it, it will be the Winter Break!! But first, I have to cautiously negotiate the last two or so weeks of term.
You should know by now how much of a sucker I am for good food, and good food I got when my father came over to town! Pictures of some of the stuff I got to eat (possibly the best food I've had in London for a while) while Lao Pa was over:
Japanese-style fried dough fritters with a molten chocolate centre. Mmmm...
Mojito with cucumber. Refreshing.
Pork Medley
Mousse Cake
Roast Dinner
Treacle Sponge with Vanilla Custard Cream. Absolute beauty!
Grilled scallops (tastes a lot better than it sounds)
Chocolate Fondant...
With a Green Tea centre. Sounds weird, but trust me, that was a heavenly comination.
Best of all, 27th November was the day my dad turned 55:
Picture of the Birthday Dad and his son.
This past weekend was LSE Cathsoc's Advent mini-retreat. It was good to spend 4 hours or so of quiet time away from them books and to do some reflection (not in the mirror of course).
Pictures of the retreat.
Then on Sunday, it was the much-anticipated Maroon 5 concert and a 2nd visit to the Wembley Arena. While I am not a huge Maroon 5 fan, I felt that most of their songs should be quite easy to groove to when performed live. Better yet, Dashboard Confessional were opening! The crowd just went berserk when they said "Remember that song from Spiderman 2?"
The concert itself was alright. Certain songs were disappointing, but they managed save the situation towards the end. Still, they could not compare to Keane (who were the band I watched when I last visited the Wembley Arena, for those of you who don't know). The set was pretty cool though.
I now leave you with another one of those interesting sights you occasionally happen to chance upon. Really, I thought I had seen it all in London. Guess I was wrong.
Till next time, my DFRs. Hopefully I won't be drowning under a mountain of work.
Ciao.
