Organised by the BBC and the Met Police, this was a one-of-a-kind festival considering that this is London. But then again, this is Chinatown, and I reckon Chinatowns all over the world are more or less the same. Still, it's an experience. At least we got to watch live firecrackers (which are banned in S'pore) going off, and a display of fireworks in broad daylight. It was interesting, seeing blasts and sparks exploding around the statues in Leicester Square. Imperial College's Malaysian Society even had a part in it - they formed the lion dance troupe!
Grabbed hold of a goodie bag and a balloon... haha... Year of the Monkey... I see monkeys everywhere. We didn't stay there for long... it was too crowded... walked to Covent Garden in an attempt to find a 'place with space' for lunch... everywhere was too crowded, and given that there're 11 people in our group it's a hard task. In the end we split up (the DSTA girls disappeared a long time ago, and then Alex, Lionel and co. wanted to stand in front of a jacket potato stall which had a t.v. to eat potatoes and watch soccer) and the rest of us - just 4 of us - went to Maccas... Macadees... whatever. McDonald's.
After play comes work (my have I got my priorities laid out wrong!), so here I am, about to start on my cell bio essays, due this Tues. And the work starts piling in...
