Maximillian & Us

Came back from Hamburg yesterday nite and already it’s Sat nite! I’m flying back to Hamburg tmrw evening.

There’s something seriously wrong with my Mac today. Firstly the keyboard didnt work (strangely only the middle rows of keys doesnt work). Then after a few hours, my iTunes music library was corrupted. After which all my RSS feed is wipe out from Shook (a tool use to read updated website). Then I realise the pic in my instant messaging tool has been removed as well. I certainly hope the hard disk wont crash like Azura‘s.

For the past few weeks we have been busy viewing flats as we’ve received notice from the agent that the landlady is taking back the flat. So we have to move out by the end of Sept. Looking for a brand new place proof to be quite difficult especially when I’m traveling and there’s a few criteria we’re trying to fulfill. I am starting to realise we might have been very lucky when we first got here as we found the current place in 2 days.

Anyway, it’s long weekend in UK next week. So Dav will be joining me in Hamburg for some R&R. Cant wait!!

Have a good weekend everyone!

This is me, half wet. Lucky got rain coat. Trying to locate the next destination.

J trying to get a good shot.

The amazing tunnel where most of the pictures were taken.

Joyce and I spent the whole day walking around London looking for the famous Banksy graffiti. It was raining almost the whole day but that didnt stop us! A lot of these graffiti has been painted over by other stuff, so you wont be able to see the original state of the ‘art’. I kinda like looking at these… so perhaps it’s an art for me?

Here’s some Banksy that we found:

‘Tesco Allegiance’. We overshot by almost half a km due to me not paying attention to the road signs!

‘London Doesn’t Work’. This is one the cutest of all the graffiti we found!

‘Guard & Poodle’. This was found right outside London famous Cargo Club.

‘Beaten up Buddha’

‘Cave Painting Cleaner’ (Check out original here)

‘Hoodie’. The guy is suppose to be holding a knife and his left chest bleeding from stabbing. See original pic here.

Rioter poised to throw a flower as if it were a bomb.

‘One Nation Under CCTV’. We actually came across this when we were shopping in Oxford street. It was a good find.

An ‘artistic’ shot.

Here’s some non-Banksy work which we found in a tunnel. Lots of them for the matter.

This reminds me of what Amir and I always talk about – Dont shit where you eat!

Pope + Marilyn Monroe =  WEIRD

Donkey Kong – What you looking at?

This is my other fav graffiti.

I think this could be Banky’s but I’m not sure. Nevertheless, it is a very sweet portray of the little girl.

Trapped under a cart.

Original colour – black and white. Edited to blue using PS.

Audrey attacked by Cat!! Can you see the blood splatter…..

More pictures can be found on Joyce’s Flickr and her blog.

If you want to know the location of these graffiti, just drop me a line and I’m happy to send u the address/ link.

This competition arrived in London last week. We saw the advertisement on tv and thought it was quite cool. We only went to the pre-qualifying. I have to say one round finishes quite fast… approximately half hour and after a while it gets kinda boring. What’s more interesting was the air show where there’s helicopters and small planes performing stunts.

Would we do this again next year ?? Prolly not….

Susie in need of coffee in the morning.

Charles annoyed there’s no Jamaican flag… and settled for the GB flag instead.

This glider small plane is sooo cool…. it just flies around effortlessly. Almost like a bird.

Checkout the clouds!!! It was cloudy and it rain on and off a few times. This was not the worse. The next day where the finals took place, the weather was worse. We were quite lucky.

This obstacle was right in front of us.

I like this pic! Of course taken by my hubby.

Hehehehe not sure what Charles is thinking about… maybe he’s still upset he didnt get a Jamaican flag.

Cute baby with a flag.

We had dinner in town. It was fun catching up with everyone. Hope the birthday girl enjoyed it too.

Happy Belated Birthday!

Birthday girl with the cake.

Me and the beautiful birthday girl!
