A Man’s Adventure, Part 1

This pic was taken when heavy snow struck all over London and across UK. This is where I stayed for the past 9 months. Since it’s one of Imperial College London’s Halls of Residence, I paid less than the actual market value for that kind of accommodation. On the other side, it’s 20-40 mins journey by bus to the main campus at South Kensington, or if you prefer a much cost-saving option, it’s just 25mins walking distance *London’s walking pace*.

30 St Mary Axe. Nicely shaped skyscraper located at the main financial district, the City of London. There was no intention to visit the place at all, it’s a side benefit when I read my map wrongly. LOL

The melting snow marks the end of a celebration. This pic was taken at Hyde Park, 3 days after the heavy snow. IC was closed for two days due to safety reasons and transportation problems. Tube, buses, and all means of public transports were suspended as well so we walked out from Wilson House to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens – to enjoy our last fluffy moment!

Mile End Road taken on Green Bridge, Mile End Park, London Borough of Tower Hamlets. A small yet beautiful park. There was a day when I felt so stressed, I sat in a bus until the end of the bus route. Such a random act, and the bus took me here. Managed to calm myself and guess what, I made a lasagna when I went home.

London Central Mosque, near Regents Park. A shot after Friday prayer in March 2009. I occasionally went here to perform Friday prayer, IC’s prayer hall or Salahuddin Trust is a much closer option. But here is much comfortable place and there’s some cheap halal food stall here as well!

Old Royal Naval College building, The University of Greenwich. This picture was taken from Royal Observatory, Greenwich. I’m suggesting anyone visiting London to go to this place since the scenery outstands others in London.  Too much exaggeration? Well, I’m expecting those Greenwich people to treat me Nasi Ayam later~haha

Lunchtime Concert at IC Business School lobby entrance (Tanaka Building), performed by ICSO. I wish I could be one of them! But I think one needs to take ABRSM or something equivalent to join this symphony orchestra team. Still, there are IC Wind Band, IC Big Band and others, which requires no prior qualification- just purely human talent!
