An ordinary day in London

Another Tuesday, the best day for me in a week . Simply because it's a classless day.

weather : SNOW
feeling : Good

I woke up in the morning and what awaits me was the longed frozen tears from God. Snow dropped gently onto the garden and melted once it touches the soil.

Then, i toasted a bread , ate , and went to UCL for a meeting. This is what i saw

Basically what happened was that the protesting students occupied the Jeremy Bentham Room in UCL to show their dissatisfaction towards the government new tuition fee policy. out of curiousity, i went in and had a glance from the insight.And this is what i saw.


I mean, UK students are really creative in demonstrating their feelings, particularly local students. Street demonstration might be too cold for some of them thus, the best alternative method to create a havoc for the sake of attention is to occupy academic building. I heard that SOAS's Brunei Gallery was fallen as well

Fearing to be questioned on my illegitimate presence (without UCL student ID), i quickly move to the UCL office with Bhavik and meet Mr Evans for some student business. Everything was fine.

Afterthat, i travelled to Trafalgar Square for another meeting with Tourism Malaysia, along with my boss and a junior. Auntie Sharon , the Deputy Director of Tourism Malaysia was kind enough to treat us a meal in Jom Makan, and the so call meeting lasted for almost 3 hours.

When we were heading back to the office, something shocking happened . this is what i saw.

A human wall form by the police blocked our path. Choppers flying above . We have to use the back door route to get back into the office building. Upon entrance, we rushed to the top floor , and this is what we saw

Student demo in Trafalgar Square. Aggressive, angry student chanting some words with banners and buntings on hand. what impressed us was that it was -2'c that time. We concluded that they were really really angry .

After that, Boss came to my house and have a little business chat
Then i rest
Then i go Espoinage
Then i back
Then i read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Then i sleep

Thus, concluded my ordinary tuesday.
