First time that I attempted to cut a whole chicken! Thanks to this instruction, heh. Took me about half an hour. I did everything except splitting the drumstick and thighs...Place the middle carcasses in one bag, wings and breasts in a container, and drumstick and thighs in one bag

Anyhoo, I'm addicted to broccoli and cauliflower mixed with cheese and garlic sauce...Mmmmm, super lazy to cook meat, so it's mostly processed. Didn't wana cook rice for myself either since it's only me eating. Voila~ my second dish!

So we have moved in for about 2 weeks now, things are settling down quite well, with a huge Tesco nearby that sells cheaper groceries and a shopping mall. Things feel more spacious, quite, safe and further away from the crowd. All of this with a higher price to pay, plus it is close to a lake, river, park and the Thames river too. We passed a ship that is actually a residential area!

Anyhoo, the first time moving in, I couldn't stand the back garden's over grown trees...

Everytime I watch the games, I tear in the sense of joy for those who actually wins the gold medal. I think know how much pressure they actually went through specially after looking at the joys on the faces to those who won badminton. Feels like those days where I was fighting for a medal at varsity games but the differences is that these athletes trained much longer in their lives to accomplish this. Superbly happy for them. It makes me wonder as to whether champions are made or born to win.

I too wonder whether this is a mere phase in life, whereby as one retires as an athlete, one will eventually settle down into an actual job or a family, in which they thus disappear from fame and media, and that it is just a sentimental memory to remember. Perhaps, Legends will last but to actually qualify for the Olympics without winning feels like a job halfway done.

Could qualifying for the Olympics actually be a goal clarified as something hard to reach, or is it just another satisfying goal one can work towards to? Perhaps it depends on talent, which comes back to whether the successful leaders or athletes are naturaly made or whether or not they are the ones who broke fate into becoming someone who is heard.

I reckon I would respect the ones who didn't have as much talent as the ones who did. The 2 Olympic games that I thoroughly kept up to date was the one in Atlanta when I was 14 and Beijing Games. Looking back, Atlanta gave me the hope and the motivation to create a goal of being an inspiration in terms of sportmanship and to reach National levels as an athlete.

And right now, I am at the same age or older to some the athletes who won medals at the Olympics. I asked myself why am I feeling a small regret and disappointment at myself, for I have not achieve what I truly want in life as I compare to the recent made Legends. Comparison is my weakness. Time is truly ticking, and I am glad to have realised it at this moment of my life.

I am proud of China nevertheless. They have re-created the Olympics in a true unique way. The opening ceremony was breathe taking and that I was emotional when I watched it. I am so proud that part of my blood is from China itself. So proud that we still maintain and show off our hardwork and dicipline principals.I shall remember it and am looking forward to the London Olympics while I am hopefully here.

You have just washed your hands. You see tissue and the dryer. You start to think of which is the more efficient way to conserve energy. Tissue would lead to waste but then it get's recycled. Where as the dryer dries your hands faster but the heat energy can't be transferred after.

What would you do?

Anyway, I have passed a few interesting buildings during work and will definitely take photos of them whenever I am freeeeee....some of them are:
1) The Gherkin
2) Lloyd's London (dubbed the 'inverted' building)
3) Arup's new headquarters out at Fitzroy Street

2nd and 3rd one were done by the same architectural company called Richard Rogers. They also did a similar one in Hong Kong. Apparently it's some kind of phase.

Am learning the processes of flatting and being on contract for work. Very interesting.

Also learning about the plans for bills in a flat. Also interesting. One day, i'll collate and organise them for any first timers :).

Thinking of going further out than London and see the markets. It's about £1 per trip to places like Liverpool! Cheap cheap.

• I have fallen in love with this restaurant. Whoever who arrives here for the first time, I'm so gona bring you to eat at this place...I love it!
