With diary full of plans and after fifteen months of hardcore Singaporean
heat and sun, I am back to London for two months. It’s already been a week
since I set my foot on the English land drinking orange ‘lucozade’ and yet I
haven’t done anything! Why? Because I am busy nursing myself from this terrible
cold! Yeah yeah it’s actually lot warmer now but I feel like I’ve entered a
freezer!
‘How did I ever survive here before’ I am thinking and I
remember I seldom had jackets in my wardrobe! Anyhow I still love the city and
am excited for activating the plans (I hope they get activated)
Sun is smiling but its chilly (although I am getting used to
and the weather feels wonderful) and I am spending my days sipping green tea
and occasional luczade AND digging out my old stuffs! And blimey! Can there be
any more of my textual antics!! My stuffs are just the way I left them! A
confession, I am a bibliophile and I even collect text books! I guess I sound
very geek, but I don’t care!
With these old textual antics flooded in old memories. I first
came in London in the summer of 2007, when I was seventeen. Everything was new
and I had this stereotypical image of western people – everyone living in the
suburbs, kids cycling, a typical American dream definition, and I was so wrong!
First of all why was I even thinking UK the American way and secondly I should
stop comparing filmy scenarios to the reality! In simple words London is cold
yet creative!
Five things London taught me-
*be bolder, beat the cold!
*cold is no reason to be fat and lazy!
*the clichéd- anything is possible
*the accent ;) (I mean I can differentiate ;p)
*this one is not exactly ‘taught’ but ‘gave’ me Lucozade, the
best drink ever!! ;)
Again another article without any pictures! And it don’t look
as appealing but trust me I am working on it ;)
