Sunny Sunday

Here are more portrait photos…
It is normally quite rare to have such sunny day during the weekend in UK, but we were quite lucky that day.
Photos were taken near Greenland Dock.

Do you know that London is freaking hot these few weeks? The temperature hit 32C this afternoon! It’s really madness, especially those who take the tube. Just imagine an underground train with no air conditioning. However, if you fancy some free sauna session, just get yourself onto any tube during rush hour. You’ll get what I mean :D
Anyway, I’ll be heading off to the pearl of the atlantic (Madeira, Portugal) for a week. See you guys soon!

Back in London

Posted by Chee Wei On March - 30 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS
I guess I haven’t been updating my blog for about 3 months. I have been too busy since Chinese New Year. I think I am always busy haha.
Well, you see the thing is that when I am back in my hometown, I have my family and friends to hangout with and that keeps me busy. So it has been all about work, food, rest and hangout. Life has been too good to be unoccupied.
So after months of being busy in Malaysia, I am back to London again. No, that doesn’t mean I will be free here, it just mean that I will be busy in another way.
Anyway, enough of all that “busy” stories. So, I landed in UK yesterday evening, tried to get some sleep in UK time-zone to fight the jet-lag issue. Woke up couple of times during the night. Check some mails and went online on msn. Some friends even greeted good morning, haha that’s like 3am in the morning so decided not to reply and went straight back to bed. Otherwise, I don’t think going-to-bed will happen in the near hour.
I took this shot with my phone when I was on my way to work today. Its really rare to see the sun in the UK and its good to have nice sunny weather again! Probably need to start booking some trips to Europe.

I hope I will be free to update my blog more frequently. See you guys around :)

Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park

Posted by Chee Wei On January - 11 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

It feels as though I just updated my blog like few days ago and when I check my previous post, it was like more than a week! Geez. Anyway, here are some photos of the Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park, London.

I been to the park for about 3 times and finally I got the right sunset lighting I wanted. The sun sets about 4pm ish at that time. Also, just so you know, it was freezing cold about subzero, I was with my leather gloves (if you still want your fingers functioning properly after the shoot) and armed with 3 layers of top and scarf.

Christmas Fun Fair @ Hyde Park, London

I love the blueish sun set lighting. I find it very soothing.

Leafless tree is what you gonna see everywhere during winter.

Garlic house, just right under a tree. I think the lighting looks awesome.

This is another stall selling bratwurst (German Hotdog). These stalls just look cool.

A windmill with a snowman on the roof which I believe is from Holland. I think the couple were about to kiss. Sorry didn’t mean to disturb :P

You definitely should expect to see a carousel in a fun fair! Anyway, more Hyde Park photos soon.

Need to get going now, as I am heading back to Malaysia this week. See you guys!

England vs Barbarians

Posted by Chee Wei On June - 4 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

Last sunday (1st June) was the kick off between England team and the Barbarians at the Twickenham Stadium.

You might be wondering is there even a team called Barbarians? Well there is in rugby but not football.

England VS Barbarians Rugby

The England team are obviously in white and the black & white straps are the Barbarians.

Don’t you think they look bigger than footballers?

Never leave your tap water running. We should all learn how to save water. For example, flush only once a day. haha. Anyway just for your interest here are some A-Z water saving tips.

Absolute Vodka

I think it was early last year. After work, had my dinner, showered, and discovered that there isn’t much to do. So I guess its time to play with my camera before either one of us rot. haha.

Spanish Cuisine

Posted by Chee Wei On May - 23 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

This tapas buffet is different from the usual buffet. You have to order what you want and they’ll make it for you instead of having an array of food stalls.

This is the menu.

La Tasca Menu

We are allowed to order a maximum of 8 dishes each time.

La Tasca Restaurant - Tapas

So here we have Calamares a la Andaluza (deep-fried rings of squid served with roasted garlic mayonnaise and lemon – on the left front), Berenjenas Gratinadas (Fresh aubergine, topped with cheese and tomato – centre front), Pescado Bianco Frito (White fish, deep fried in beer batter- right front), Chorizo Frito al Vino (Spicy Spanish sausage, sauteed in red wine) and the further three were toasted bread topped with garlic & fresh tomato, some fried potatos and Spanish omelette.

I love the fried squid, fish in beer batter and the Spanish sausage.

La Tasca Restaurant

The restaurant decor is quite nice too.

To all Spanish Cuisine lovers, you should give it a try if you haven’t tried it yet.

Anybody fancy some Spanish cuisine? Went to La Tasca near Leicester Square last weekend. They were having a tapas buffet for ten quid (£10). Eat all you can it says…

I am sure most of you have encountered situations when you have so many things to do in such a short time. I could easily write a huge list of to-do task, but let’s just not go there.

Anyway, if you are in the same situation as me here is the temporary cure. Screammmm all you can like the photo below :)
