Fancy a stroll through Green Park? On the 15th of February, I spent a relaxing afternoon with my camera in Green Park and the surrounding area of Buckingham Palace. Enjoy a snapshot view of my walk.
Sunshine and Literature in Bath
Inspired by the Bath Literature Festival, I invited friend and course mate, Amanda, to join me for a day trip to Bath. She mentioned a favourite antiquarian book shop and we eagerly bought our coach tickets for Saturday, 1 March. The morning came way too early when Amanda and I met up at 7:45 in […]
Art, Champagne and Pudding!
A couple weeks ago, I received an invite from Saatchi Gallery to attend an evening event showcasing Pure Evil: The Nightmare Series so I grabbed Amanda and Yana (two girls from my course at Uni) and a date was made. The day arrived and after a very “interesting” afternoon in our very first class held […]
My 100th Post: A Girly Weekend in London
So what does a single gal do in London for Valentine’s Day weekend? What else but get dressed up, have a few cocktails with girlfriends, go to the theatre, brunch and vintage shopping in Chelsea with the girls and eat a cupcake? V-Day is a perfect excuse to put on some red lipstick (MAC), […]
NHS: Brook Green Medical Centre
I did it, folks! I registered with the local NHS GP practice — Brook Green Medical Centre — in Hammersmith this afternoon and what a pleasant surprise of an experience it was! Upon arriving at the centre at 15:15, I signed in with the receptionist and was given the usual pile of paperwork to fill […]

So take a walk with me along the Southbank and do share some of your favourite places to escape and imagine in London. <3 Royal Hospital for Children Sir Laurence Olivier… […]
The Year of the Horse
Happy Chinese New Year from London! Apparently London’s celebration is the 2nd largest in the world! Wow! Thinking of my “Joy Luck Club” girlfriend, Stephie, I ventured out to Chinatown (off Leicester Square) for an hour of amusement. Tomorrow is the big parade and official day of celebration so I was surprised by the large […]
The Light Princess – A Visual Tour-de-Force!
As part of my London Theatre module, I needed to see a show at the National Theatre in the Southbank and since I had just seen the amazing Hadley Fraser in Coriolanus I decided to see his girlfriend, Rosalie Craig, in The Light Princess. Scoring a £12 Travelex ticket for today’s matinee, I was in […]
A Night at the Theatre: Tom Hiddleston in Coriolanus
Coriolanus, as many a fangirl and Shakespeare affectionate knows, played a limited run at the Donmar Warehouse in Covent Garden through 13 February 2014. When my friend, Heather, asked if I would like to see the show with her, I said yes for two reasons – (1) Shakespeare in the West End and (2) Hadley […]
