Hmm…it’s been awhile since I last posted. Actually there hasn’t been much to tell really…I haven’t been doing anything very exciting. Last weekend I went outrigger canoeing on Saturday morning, spent a bit of the afternoon in Camden market with a friend from the dragonboat team where I saw the weirdest people around in London. All that goth!
It’s crazy – there was this bald middle-aged man who had tattoos all around his head, face, neck and torso and had his nose, eyebrows, ears, and nipples pierced. He was wearing a black fish-net long-sleeve shirt (if it can even be called that) with a black patent skirt. Yes, you read correct, SKIRT. And he wore platforms boots which were – no kidding – about 25cm high. They were the tallest pair of platforms I had ever seen. Honestly, I don’t know how he walked in them. He was kinda stomping around in those huge-ass footwear. I mean, you can all sorts of people dressed in weird get-ups in Camden, but this one really takes the cake – for now. I’m sure I’ll see more if I go to Camden often enough. Though interesting to see all the people dressed up in goth, it’s not my kinda thing, so I doubt I’ll go there very much.
Then headed to the O2 arena to have a look. Nothing very much there except for restaurants with massive queues – all pre-concert goers. Scissors Sister was performing that night so we saw lots of gay and lesbian couples. I wouldn’t bother going there for dinner. Eating somewhere beforehand and then heading to the concert would be a better option. And the restaurants there don’t seem fantastic either.
Sunday morning saw me at dragonboat practice at the London Regatta Centre. After practice, went to have dimsum with a teammate and some of her friends. The restaurant, Lotus, is located at Crossharbour DLR station. Food was pretty good and it was cheap! For £7 each (albeit with a 10% discount) we ate a lot! Definitely want to go back again for my dimsum fix.
Then it was back to home to do household chores like laundry and cleaning up of the place.
Meanwhile, work’s been fine. I think work’s less stressful here. No complains there! If only it came with more pay…
Gosh, I feel like my life is so unexciting. Need to find more free and less expensive stuff to do in London! But at least this weekend I have a weekend at Brighton to look forward to. Going to visit olduvai again and we already have our weekend menu planned! I just love how organised we are when it comes to eating matters. :p
