I was supposed to be at the Manchester zinesfest last Saturday, but through a bizarre combination of natural disasters and plane trouble I ended up spending five hours in the airport and arriving twenty minutes before closing time. Very disappointed, not to mention cranky as hell and there’s no way in hell I’ll ever go… Continue reading The zinefest that never was

Random gigs
It’s amazing the number of people I ended up asking and rejecting the offer of a free ticket. I was honestly thankful R said she will happily join me to watch some random band in some random place, just because… The ticket was a freebie courtesy of Time Out’s Mailing List. . I didn’t know… Continue reading Random gigs
Day in the life
I should really be packing for Paris, but chilling with the housemates after a long week is too big of a temptation to miss. The above photo was meant to be posted as part of a step by step series on the cupcake Restaurant Girl and I made for a dear friend’s wedding. The end… Continue reading Day in the life
Living in a cottage in the middle of the wood
Well not quite, but every time I see signage for Swiss Cottage and St John’s Wood I always put them together in my head. I haven’t really posted about where I’m living, probably because I’m still trying to find out about it myself. Currently the boiler isn’t working so everyone is either having baths or… Continue reading Living in a cottage in the middle of the wood
Fill my little world
I can’t believe this is my first post in August, the entire month have just disappeared without me noticing. Nothing much to say other than I am still happier than I have been in a while. There’s a sense of freedom in giving up control and worry about what will happen next and enjoying the… Continue reading Fill my little world

For reasons I haven’t quite figured out considering how cold it was and the point of hysterical delirium I managed to reach due to lack of sleep I joined the London Flickr Meetup group for one of their all night shoot. A summer shoot should be fun I thought, but a London summer night is… Continue reading Delirious I wander down the streets of London
Wearing the Merino Stripes Eyelet Ribbon Tam Hat Cambridge
I haven’t been posting many of my finished objects, so here’s one. The pattern is the Merino Stripes Eyelet Ribbon Tam from Crystal Palace Yarn. Notice the absence of both the stripes and the ribbon. I loved the pattern’s texture and taking out all the added embellishments seem to work better. My legs are still… Continue reading Wearing the Merino Stripes Eyelet Ribbon Tam Hat Cambridge
London Pride 2008 (and seeing Ian McKellen)
When my housemate said, do you want to go to Pride this Saturday I had no idea what he was talking about London Pride. Turned out, he was talking about , the London version of the Sydney Mardigras, similar but not the same. Pride starts in the morning here, and it felt a little strange… Continue reading London Pride 2008 (and seeing Ian McKellen)
Living in London (at last!)
I finally have a permanent address in London and I’m incredibly relieved not to have to move my backpack every week or so. Very thrilled to live in Swiss Cottage, with a cinema next door, plenty of Japanese residents and a grocery store a few minutes away, it felt as if I am living in… Continue reading Living in London (at last!)
