Poppy Appeal

Have been noticing people in London are wearing this a couple of days ago. With a bit of luck, found a drug store that has the poppy. Its part of the Poppy Appeal organized by the Royal British Legion to support those who had served or who are currently serving the British Armed Force, and their dependents. Everyday, you see people with poppy on the streets and the number increases. Hence, I donated some money and got myself one as well. I now feel like I'm part of the community when I put the poppy on with pride.

Surveying Nails & O.S. Benchmarks

Surveying Nails and O.S. Benchmarks. These are the stuff that I've been dealing with for my geomatic levelling assignment recently. Kinda fun, especially when you are nailing the nails into the university building. Of course, this is done without getting caught by the ground department of the university. Hah! Still have to analyse the results, that's the boring bit. Oh well.

Loving Notting Hill

Scenario: A Suggested "Two-Hour Walk Around Notting Hill"

Objective: To buy cheap travel guides

Equipment: Gloves, DK Eyewitness Travel Guide - London, Olympus µ600, Oyster Card, Water Bottle, Money

Cost: £6.00 + £1.80 (Travel)

Weather: Freezing towards the end
Locations: Pembridge Road, Portobello Road, Blenheim Crescent, Talbot Road, Ledbury Road, Westbourne Grove.

Results: Didn't manage to buy any travel guides because the actual market is closed. Managed to take a few photos though.

Remark: The whole area was pretty quiet compared to the other day. A lot of antique shops are closed. Probably due to the cold weather and the fact that its the middle of the week. Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that this is one of the place in London I love the most. They've seriously got a lot of interesting stuff, especially the stylish shopping part on Ledbury Road and Westbourne Grove. A few interesting galleries are scattered around the area as well. Loving it.
