Water Snake Dumplings

Hey everyone,

You've probably noticed the increase of red lanterns throughout the streets, which can only mean its that time of year again Chinese New Year. 

This year is the Year of the Snake or more specify the Year of the Water Snake. Apparently *Water Snakes are influential and insightful. They manage others well and tend to be good for organizations to utilize as staff. They are quite motivated and intellectual, very determined and resolute about success.

I love CNY, I like that I can see, learn and interact with different cultures and things that i wouldn't necessary through my normal everyday activities. For a run down what was going on London please see a post I did on Endz2Endz.

Sadly I didn't get to spend as much browsing and watching the performances as I normally do ... so no dragon *so sad*

I love the fun of it all, plus it also gives my friends the chance to tease me with their red pockets - honestly how cool is this tradition (their like debt collectors lol).

But I did however get to have one favorite dishes steamed dumplings! Mmmm...

Wishing you all 'Kung Hei Fat Choi' (or Happy New Year) :D

Did any of you guys go to CNY London or anywhere else in the world?

Olympic London

Hey everyone,

So these days in London there are many visitors and things going on, it’s great everyone is in a good mood and just having fun. And all is due to the Olympics!

Although the Olympics didn’t officially start until last Friday in preparation for it London has seen loads of regeneration projects and new builds. One if while being this awesome cable car which runs across the River Thames from Greenwich to the Royal Docks.
Living in London it’s easy to sometimes take things for granted and get caught up in the stresses of everyday living, but sometimes it’s good to just let go and make the most of what is available. I mean seriously look at these pictures, so calm, relaxing and kind of romantic *sigh*…. Whoa sorry I got a bit day-dreamy there LOL – I’m so sad! Haha #foreveralone #alonemuch

Oh yeah, the other day I got to play with the Olympic Touch which was fun. But I have to admit before the Olympics had started I was a bit cynical about the whole thing. But after holding the Touch and have a play around I did feel quite proud.

Sorry about the picture guys, my face was incredibly shinning and I looked a mess, trust me I'm doing you a flavor by covering this up LOL! *When did I become so vain? lol*

London High

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to quickly share this view with you, the other day I had my work ‘Christmas Party’ at Center Point in London. Basically it’s a big skyscraper in the middle of London, from it you have a beautiful view of East and West London.

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to live in such a multicultural and booming city. Although I heard the Hong Kong skyline is even better. Hope I get to see it one day.

Oh and I case you’re wondering the party wasn't all that, but I suppose the view was worth it.

Anyhoo this is just a quick post to share, hope your well J

Bye x
