Banksy

I'm not sure if you've ever encountered his 'works of art' but they're everywhere in London, and I've even seen a few emails of his work being forwarded in emails.





Banksy: Hero or Graffiti Menace ? You decide.

P.S. This is the nearest Banksy graffiti near my place in Angel. Its at the intersection of Farringdon Road and Rosebery Avenue. Something to do with our over-dependence on machines?

Harry Potter and the Surrounding Hype

I listed one of my 'favourite books' as 'random ebooks in piratebay' in my friendster. Well, staying true to my 'favourite books' I found a copy of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' online and finished reading it a few days before release, XP (Sorry about reading it before its release Ms. Rowling, but you might be happy to find out that my sister had paid RM109 for your book already :) )

Knowing the ending and all, which I didn't reveal to anyone (except my sister who 'asked for it') I also went to a Harry Potter launch party

in Borders nearby my place in Angel.

Employess scurrying around in their robes and wizard hats

They brought an owl in for the party!!

It wasn't really crowded when we went in at 8.30pm, but the party was supposed to have lasted until 12.01am or something when the book is officially released. But didn't really stayed up until that sort of time just for a book; went home to get enough rest for the start of the Next sale at 4am. Now that's more worth it than queueing for the HP7 book!! (the last sentence is not a review of the HP7 book :

Every Problem has a solution...or does it??

I must admit, I'm not the cleanest guy in the world. Which was probably why my skin was more sensitive (ie. dry) to the tempermental weather in the UK. With the the dry skin itching away and the help of some itchy fingers, the dry part worsened until friends asked me what happened to that particular area of my face. As I didn't want to start a long conversation, I just mentioned that it was an allergy, adding that i was caused by the music blasted by chavs through their mobile phones on buses and trains.

It finally worsened to the point where I knew that scratching would NEVER help at all, and finally resorted to investing in some facial products that, hopefully, would solve the problem instead of a trip to the dermatologist.

While it's too early to tell how effective it will be, but hey, the itching's stopped, which is a great start. Hopefully by the time I head back to KL, that area's finally cleared of any dryness, and THIS TIME, I'll continue to use it instead of just leaving it aside on the basin....
