Life is Great
I'm having so much fun recently and enjoying life in London. Never before in my life I feel that life is great, wonderful, amazing, beautiful and most importantly just as it is. Life, as it turned out, is great just the way life is :)

Summer in London
It has been a while since my last blog entry. What can I say, the routine of work and life has taken its toll on my blog post rate. Much has happened between the NYC post and now, a couple of my friends back home had their first born; I was bumming around skating, going out, exploring London for much of the late Spring; organising my HSMP; trying real hard to understand correlation trading; my own 29th birthday early June; and a new revelation about life last week. Life, as it turned out, is great, wonderful, beautiful, amazing and most importantly just as it is :)
I'm sorry, that last one probably didn't make any sense, simply put I'm having a great time (now).
Summer in London has now well under way, but as luck has it, this month the reliable London weather struck. The revellers at Glastonbury will tell you that they were soaked under the heavy rain and muddy field. We went on Sunday for a much more sedate, commercial, but no less fun, Hyde Park Calling. It's a two day festival at London's own Hyde Park, you can choose to buy two days ticket or just one. This year headlines include Crowded House, Peter Gabriel, Jet, Chris Cornell, Joe Satriani and to finish the venerable Aerosmith!
It was raining whole day yesterday, especially at night. On the afternoon, my friend and I bet that the rain will stop so we didn't bring any sort of rain gear. It was raining lightly for most of the afternoon, but at about 6pm the sky opened and it was raining quite heavily until about 9pm. Of course by time we need the poncho, they run out of them in the venue. Luckily a good mate (life saver he is!) nicked a rubbish bag (clean) from Hard Rock Cafe area we made a emergency poncho out of it. I was rescued from the rain. We queued for over an hour for the fried chicken, under the rain, while Chris Cornell is blazing in the background. We then ate the fried chicken under the rain, just on the other side of men's toilet area where guys pissing on the plastic wall and the steam coming out from the urine. Fun ... still it was the best hot damn fried chicken ever.
Despite the horrible rain & mud, everyone was on high spirits and don't really care about anything. Aerosmith put out such an amazing show. The rain miraculously stopped at about 9pm, so we had most of the Aerosmith with some comfort out of the poncho (or rubbish bag for me).
The big surprised was the encore where D.M.C (from Run-D.M.C) showed up to close with "Walk This Way", it was jaw dropping.
