During Lionel's visit to UK in January , i had meet up twice with him.

So happy to see him here. :-)

This is the first meeting when joyce is still in Uk. We meet up in

London and have dinner at a japanese restaurant.

This is the 2nd meeting... I had a tutorial with my tutor at the RIBA library in the afternoon, so I decided to meet up with him again B4 he go back to Singapore.We decided to visit Architecture Association. Roof terrace. I had saw the shelter in AA's website.

It is design by student...Cool ah¬
I think what behind the window is the studio.

We did not enter to the studio, just pretended to be AA students walking around.

But the sense/ atmosphere of architecture is strong in the school.

In the afternoon, we went for the tutorial¬ The old man is my tutor and others are my unit mates.

Huge LCD TV! Not just a LCD TV, it is a touch screen LCD TV connect with PC!
Dam rich sia, RIBA!

Countdown at London Eye

It is not so beautiful in picture as in real life.
A min into 2008
人山人海！虽然地铁站就在附近，但是要等到3点才有。

在国会旁的示威看板，后面有一些示威人士的帐篷，不一样的过年。
倒数刚完，清洁工人就开工了。 其实，英国倒数挺“可怕”的。很多人high到疯了似的，酒汉随处可见。
到处都是戒备的警察，警车和救护车笛声，随处可闻。
我看也只有New Year，警察才会这么热情。
