Shed This Skin I've Been Trippin' In

So this past weekend was spent in London, mainly to catch The Amorous Ambassador, a play staged by LSE students. Victor was leading man that night, and he took a lot of the challenges the role confronted him with, and ran with it. Good job dude! :)

Seen here as a Tarzan man, ready for some action with his amorous adulterous French maid (played by a Christine-lookalike) This guy Rashid played a cross-dressing boyfriend to another character (seen here on the left), and I was amused by his teddybear cuteness. I didn't quite enjoy the girl's performance though.Us at Oxford Street on Saturday afternoon, when they'd closed off the road to traffic! It was mad-crowded, and it's not even pre-Christmas sales season yet. Me and Yi met Fon and Lap for dinner at Four Seasons restaurant in Bayswater. That was the absolute bestest duck I have ever eaten, EVER! (Hsinj - I now know what you mean dude) Btw I thought it was Four Seasons the hotel at first. Lol. Fontaine is seen here with us - she was in the same sch as us since Primary school days. So we're old, old friends. Currently pursuing her harp degree in music at Guildhall. Fantastically talented. Lap Hang and me. He's a first year at Imperial College, in Microbiology. Nice to meet up with him again after years of not seeing him, just like old times. Meet Hailey and Emily, Hailey's younger sister. These two are comical, bubbly, and down-to-earth girls. Love 'em! Notice the similar dresses. Cute right! The long familiar bus rides to and from London are my favourite times to space out. Aaaah. Peace and solitude.
Evidence of how beautiful the English countryside really is - rolling meadows and pastureland.

I just liked this picture so here it is. Hehe.

The Avon river flowing through Bath.

Now that I'm back here in Bath, it's time to sit down and mug for tomorrow's paper. Except I don't quite know how to mug for a Lit paper on FILM. And it's not an open-book paper either. Lol. Oh well.

Y'know what, I was just thinking, I have one more month left here in UK/Europe. It has been a helluva journey with as many ups as there have been downs. And I wonder if K is right - if I've really let things, people - other people - get to me too often, instead of living for myself. I know I'm the sort of person who spends too much time thinking about the negative things, and forget the good things that do exist. When I recount this experience, do I only want to think about the times I've been let down, disappointed, hurt? Or the times that changed the way I see the world, the beautiful things and interesting people I've met, the experiences I'd never thought I'd have but did in the end...?

So for these few weeks, I'm going to try and block out any bad/sad things that happen, and focus on the good, and only the good. Because, I believe, it is up to me to shape how I will remember these remaining days, and essentially the entire exchange, as it ends.

Wish me luck - optimism, here I come.
