london- notting hill

i have alot on my mind.

the dynamics of human interaction is so complicated.

2 assignments due soon and an exam after that. Im gonna be really busy till Dec 16th! i'll just consider myself lucky that this term most of my subjects are 100% coursework and i have only one paper to sit for. But on the other hand, the exam subject is the toughest of all. *sigh*

anyways, i went to london several weeks ago. and here are the pics!


nice autumn colours


vain-ass "outfit of the day" pic


my neck is not missing, im wearing a scarf.

i met up with stella at victoria station again and she brought me to lunch at a lovely reasonably priced asian restaurant called "cha cha moon".


my duck noodles.

it came with soup, but the soup sucked. the duck and noddles were'nt bad though.


stella


she ordered a noodle dish that i cant rmbr, but it was pretty nice i think.
