My friends Bijal and Rupa wanted to bring Sara and I out for dinner at an Authentic Indian place, which she said was the best this Side of India. On the Jubilee line, near the Queensbury station, is this private club where we met and had dinner. I had heard that curry was hot here in England, and I wanted to taste it for myself, just to see how hot, hot was. It was good, not too had till you could no longer taste anything with your tongue, but hot enough it made you sweat :) Good food, good fellowship with the two girls who I met while backpacking in Thailand all those years ago.

London Calling :- More friends in London

Friday, October 31st, 2008

On a cold rainy Sunday morning in London, I had a whole lot of catching up to do, spending time with a few Malaysian friends. The first was my cell member brother Jeremy who was in town for a day while traveling on a business trip. We met up for lunch at Chinatown, in a restaurant called the Four Seasons and had some amazing duck rice :) It was nice just to have a time to chat and catch up with him. After lunch, we went for coffee in Covent Garden and then shopped for a while. I bought a new pair of Jeans and Jem bought some shoes and some clothes, and he then headed off to the airport to catch his flight home.

I proceeded to walk around a little bit more and then headed to Dominion theater which is home to the Musical , “We Will Rock You”, but more importantly on Sundays, its the home of Hillsongs London. There I met up with the usual suspects Mel and Corny, but to my joy and surprise I also bumped into a fellow GTian, Elsie Ooi, who is here on business :) We then went for dinner at a Vietnamese place not far from the church.  also met another Malaysian student named Jason Kang, who went to a GT Secondary cell years ago. Ah, having friends in London rocks :)

London Calling :- British Library

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

The British Library (BL) is the national library of the United Kingdom. It is based in London and is one of the world’s largest research libraries, holding over 150 million items in all known languages and formats; books, journals, newspapers, magazines, sound and music recordings, patents, databases, maps, stamps, prints, drawings and much more. The Library’s collections include around 25 million books,[2] along with substantial additional collection of manuscripts and historical items dating back as far as 300 BC.

As a legal deposit library, the BL receives copies of all books produced in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, including all foreign books distributed in the UK. It also purchases many items which are only published outside Britain and Ireland. The British Library adds some 3 million items every year.

Met up with Tsze Yenn and she decided for us to go to the British Library to check out the old books they have in display. It was a very impressive collection of Bibles and old documents. I think the oldest copy of the Bible in any form of English is there, along with many other really old documents. Among them are some of William Shakespears work , Alice in Wonderland and some Beatles lyrics. If your into books it can be quite cool to see. Its just a few minutes walk from King’s Cross Staion. After the Library, we drank some coffee at Starbucks and talked :) Its great to spend time with old friends.
