M&M World

COME TO LOVE THE CHOCOLATE!

IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN CHOCOLATE.

Mandy and I went down to Leceister square to buy our tickets to "Wicked" the musical. And here is out discovery! 

Columns and column of rainbow M&M!

The M&M Sherlock,

M&M UK :D

I met Truc again after a long, long time no see. We walked around to Oxford Street in the hope of finding ourselves drooling over the windows of shops.

Mini guitars with awesome patterns on it!!!

And of course, we did not want to miss Disney world!

Donald duck - where are your pants?

My lover <3

DUDEEEEE!!! The most awesome street drummers I have ever seen in my life. His drumkit is made from parts of bicycles and anything he could collect. That is only the first awesome thing. The second is the OMG-HIS-DRUMMING-IS-SO-FREAKING-MINDBLOWING!

Superman? Really?

A group of Superman in Central London. Gosh! I must be lucky to see them!

They are fast!!!

Walton on the Naze

Last last week, we went out for a Geography field trip. This was one of the best trip I have had. I really like doing practical work because words and numbers and siting in class is so not my talent. May be this is one of the area I would like to head in. I learnt to use a clinometer and a ranging pole and carried out experiment with quadrats. We were looking to see if this cliff/coastline protection scheme is working. One side has seawalls and groynes installed to the beach to reduce the process of Longshore Drift and the other side has nothing but Managed Retreat. I had to take lots of photos and do field sketches.

I look really lol in those clothes xDD 'cause they keep me warm! and the backpack is very practical. I can hang equipments there.

There is a historical tower of Walton here that the local are trying to protect. Inside they have a small cafe at the bottom selling delicious sandwiches and beautiful hand-painted postcards. Upstairs is some sitting places for the cafe, an art exhibition space and the Tower history at the top.

Now we are writing coursework for this. It is a little bit more confusing that anyone would think.

Someone drew Spongebob there! :D

I bet you have never seen me in uniform!

On Saturday, it was Mill Hill's Foundation day so we had a lion in (just learn that :D) and enjoy some delicious lunch. After that we went out to London Dungeon for the first time in order to celebrate Sonya's birthday!

That is me with a plate of cheese!

Definitely don't like blue cheese very much...

On the cab to London Dungeon

Tried to take a picture inside the Dungeon...

Party in the cab on the way back!

Saatchi Gallery

Here are some of the exhibition that are on displayed at Saatchi Gallery at the moment.

The gallery is a beautiful building, located near Victoria Station and surrounded by a lovely park. It held around 20 different smaller galleries inside. The type of artworks ranges from paintings to sculpture and lighting. I strongly recommend visiting the top few galleries upstair which are showing Prudential's sponsored artworks from Philippines. These are astonishingly beautiful and many have deep meaning in them.

Back in London

Starting school and already I feel so tired!
I have decided to join the swim training on Monday and Wednesday (to learn front crawl again) which I enjoy most of the time. Then there is jazz piano that should be finalise anyday now. Art activities on Tuesday... Gosh! So many things to do!

I came to Art horrified because I had no idea what I want to do for my new project, apart from the few artists and some ideas I jot down on the plane. My teacher had no idea how to help me either. Finally, I found Fred Kennet - a pen and ink based artist who produce exceptional detailed drawings. I want to do something similar to that. I want to depict the modern world today as being too industrialised and polluted with cities filled with skyscrapers and car honking on the busy road.

I thought it would be amazing but right now, with the load of work I am doing every night. I just find no inspiration to do anything. I am drawing buildings from photograph I have taken around Central London but it is so hard to sketch them out. I just don't know how artists can do this, sketching amazing buildings on a piece of paper. I am helpless.  Oh I need help!

Despite all these works are depressing me, I did went to see an amazing musical "Billy Elliot" at the Victoria Palace Theatre last week. It was part of our Drama course - to write a theatre review. The musical was fantastic it its set, lighting with the most talented young actor and the most moving plot. It was a magical night for me because this was the first proper musical I have seen. On Saturday, Mandy, Sharon and I went to the Saatchi Gallery where we found some amazing students sketching what they see in gallery. There were many artworks that were simply astonishing and some were at the average in my opinion.

This thursday, I am going to head down to Walton on the Naze in Essex for my Geography investigation. That should be fun!
