one great thing about autumn?


fireworks. (: bonfire night aka guy fawkes fest was a couple of sundays back, but the blasts of fireworks and smoke wafting in the cold wet air was a common occurence for 2 weeks or so. never heard of guy fawkes? I'm sure you have... if you've watched v for vendetta, that is.


my hostess said they used to construct effigies of mr fawkes with leaves, twigs, sticks etc. and then watch him burn while they toasted marshmallows. I'm just adding the marshmallows part, by the way. haha. yum. I love toasted marshies.
ok, continuing on the topic of sugary treats, has anyone tried this?


I got it at the mama's near my place. reminds me of tim-tam, but it tastes even more heavenly. yummmm. last weekend, I attended the november boys' smashing b'day dinner. thank you sweetsweet bjorn, always-making-me-laugh ruben and the ever-so-interesting lio.



this is what we (kenta, bjorn, hil & I) got him for his b'day. no. not the new iPod shuffle, but I'll talk about that later. it's the framed baby-tee complete with all the lil' scribblings. hil & I dropped by his place at around noon to surprise him. and boy, was he surprised! haha. his room's so cosy, (read: tiny) by the way. haha. oh yeah, his shuffle is so purdy. james has the same one too.


introducing mr e-wok! or however you spell it. my dad used to sit us in front of the big screen and watch the original star wars trilogy as kids. that and back to the future reruns. so yeah, those were our Teletubbies and Barneys.


I am in love with CoventGarden. the stony pathways, the buskers, the shops, the eateries, the theatres and not forgetting the carousel that I think is put there only during festive periods. hil says it's the same place where they shot the leehwa jewellery ad. the one with 'there she goes' playing in the background. CoventGarden's atmosphere makes me feel like I'm surrounded by all my loved ones, though I could just be standing alone with strangers by my side. this cowboy can do a mean version of Iris. he can definitely give Robert Post a run for his money too.


I ended my last post proclaiming that Jet rocked Brixton. here are some photos from that memorable Wednesday night that prompted me to make such a daring statement.

I've only seen this place in pictures, but it looks even better up close.


loads of people leave their marks on the walls of Brixton Academy. here is a fine examply of a Panic! fan who was waiting outside for the Oct 22nd gig, just like how lio, kenta and I were waiting in the cold breeze for Jet. we were about 10th in line, I think.
cos' I didn't bother to lug along my Canon, I got shi*ty photos of the band. I wasn't this close to the stage as the LP gig, (aah, memories..) and I was also probably the shortest person there so half the time I was jumping up and down to watch the stage and also craning my neck like crazy. but I tell you, it was worth every second. Jet are very very good performers and I salute them for their showmanship.
I cannot wait to go home to my sunny Malaysia. 4 weeks to go, baby.
