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!
