Quick Update

Dear readers,


Its that time of the year again. Exams. So far, I am done with my Finance paper, and have 5 more to go. Finance was not easy, but I predict greater challenges ahead (Statistics in particular). It feels like eternity, having to study everyday until 7th June.



The weather is nice and warm ( its 25 celcius outside) with an occasional cool breeze, the English call it 'boiling hot', but they really don't know what 'boiling hot' is. They even call the pathetic sprinkle of water from the sky as rain.



I call this Ice Cream weather, where everyone strolls along the street with an ice cream cone in hand. And there's me, inside looking out, with a book at hand. To make things worse, most of my friends are done with their exams, so I hear conversations like these everyday:



"Eh, what should we do today ar?"
"Dunno, how about Hyde Park, or some food market, or we can just sleep for the whole day."



"R talked about going to Lake District the other day, is it still on?"
"You bet. Lets go visit Bath as well!"



"ZL asked to go for dimsum at China Town... They are having a 50% discount!"


Wow, look at all the things I am missing.


I am not complaining that LSE starts exams so late... Extra time to study is precious.




So, I am blaming it on UCL instead. Why do you end exams so early?? Just to make me miserable ar??




*Ok, I know I sound very depressed, but do not worry, I am still very much sane., just a lil exhausted.*


Pray for me ppl, I need all the luck to face exams.... It will be one heck of a ride.



Cheers,
CH.

Lobster noodle @ Hakkasan

So far, the best chinese restaurant I have tried in London would definitely be Hakkasan, located in Soho (near Tottenham Court Road station).

I have been there 3 times and the food & service has always been excellent! Of course, what do you expect from a Michelin star chef? Not to mention the very charming waiter on my 2nd visit ;D

The restaurant boasts a high profile clientele, so photograpy isn't encouraged within. But during my last visit, the lobster noodle (龙虾伊面） looked so good that I HAD to whip out my camera (its my brother's camera actually, since I left mine at home XD).











The gravy was absolutely divine... Lobster broth shimmered for 8 hours! Yes, I kid you not, 8 hours.

OK OK. Enough of the noodles!!!!!!!!


I love the red flower (rose?) on the table.









I like the above photo of my brother. Credit to the photographer.... ME. hehehe


We ordered some mocktails to wash everything down.



The best one was the green coloured drink. It has a really cute name too! ---> Washing potatoes. Haha! Don't worry, no potatoes inside, only kiwi, lime, and the magic ingredient, coriander!! Extremely refreshing, tried and tested ;P




I look so frumpy in my yellow top. Will nvr wear it again XD

Dessert. I love this mango rice pudding! Served slightly warm, it is creamy and satisfying. A great way to end the meal.




Have I got you drooling over your keyboard???
