Quaint city, this London.

Wow its been a while.

About a year now?

Got my scuba-diving license 12 months ago, 

turned twenty-one 9 months ago, 

danced onstage in a cheerleader uniform 5 months ago, 

fulfilled my dream of touring europe 4 months ago, 

graduated with second-class honors 3 months ago, 

and am  currently committed to an establishment called Deutsche Bank.

Nothing too extraordinary; how has your past year been? :)

Am provided a fantastic place to stay here in London, with a huge bed, 8 fluffy pillows, an amazingly comfortable quilt and my favourite - white, clean sheets. Saxophone music is playing softly on the petite silver stereo and the weather outside is perfectly syok for a nice cosy night in.

Life here is delightful.

Training is more-than-bearable.

Most instructors are as good teachers as they are very knowledgeable, which is fantastic.

The places we only once read in print, watched on tv and played on Monopoly are materializing in front of my eyes now, as if I stepped into the very pages of the books. 

Buckingham Palace, Madame Tussauds, Harrods, Cambridge, Oxford, Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, Bath, London Eye, Thames River, Platform 9 and 3/4, Mayfair, Kings Cross, Marylebone, Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus, Bond Street, Leicester Square.

Taking the tube rips you off; so walking along the quaint city streets and colonial buildings and across bridges that have stood for centuries in the cool weather has yet another merit added onto its list. 

musicals. traditional Sunday roast. high-teas. carpet grass. fish and chips. trench coats. boots. adorable toddlers. graffiti on the walls. sipping hot tea. men in dashing suits. live soccer matches. busking along River Thames. coloqial accents. pies with gravy and mash. british dry humour. merry pubs. chilling out. service apartments. clicking of cameras.

None of this is new; you could probably get all of this in KL and SG if you looked hard enough. Trouble is, we never do, do we :)

All these lovelies go unseen, undone, uneaten.

victorian. 

renaissance. 

elizabethan. 

baroque.

classical.

edwardian.

jacobean.

i still don't know the difference of one from the other.

ages? architectural styles? era of music and art? 

all ancient, thats for sure :)

By the way, the London Bridge hasn't fallen down, and probably isn't anytime in the future; given that it has not shown even one sign of crumbling for a few centuries now.
