Summer has been here in UK for around2 months, the warm sun and occasional breeze is lovely. This is almost the perfect weather to be preparing for an exam. Everything look very cheerful.
On the campus - as summer arrive, small animals started to appear. I am not referring to insects, instead, I am talking about little rabbits and hedgehog.
Yesterday night, as I went out for my short walk, 2 rabbits were standing (sitting) in the middle of the pathway. As I approach them, one of the rabbits raced into the bushes. Another rabbit started moving bit by bit, weirdly, not into the bushes. It was as if it was leading me somewhere. And I am Alice!

Property
At this date, the properties in London still maintains at a pretty high price despite the pessimistic view on their financial outlook.
(i)
The people who purchase property in London came from all over the world. China, Russia and Saudi Arabia people seems to be the ones buying most of the properties.)
London is a city where you can have luxury and protection of human rights and government who welcome you.
(iii)
London has transport system that improves.
(iv)
As a global financial hub, London houses many well paid bankers and traders.
According to Prime Location house index, London's prime property is at about £1.1m average and platinum prime property averages at about £1.7m. This sort of prices can only be afforded by the super rich.
According to previous reading, the industry in other part of UK is slow comparing to the growth in London.
This shows that if you would like to stay in London, you have no choice but to pick a second grade property.
Some people prefers to stay in the suburb and travel 1 hour to work. That may be a good choice too, if you're settling down.

Speakers
My first impression of speakers were those massive pillars in my home when I was 7. Only recently I started to understand the differences between computer speakers, home theatre systems and etc.
The first set of speakers I've seen on a computer is on a Compag Presario, which looks glorious even now. The speakers still function to this day. The computer, not so much.
Later in college(A-levels), I've started living alone and discovered that my laptops speaker was pathetically weak. Thus, I started to read reviews. My budget for a year in college was £1000 after having all my fees, food and lodging paid. With that, I was looking for speakers in the range of £20.
After browsing through some reviews (I was not aware of the art of review reading), and I decided to trust them and went ahead and bought a Logitech 2.1 speakers. It has 2 satelite speakers and a subwoofer. I was over the moon, the first time I have my own adjustable bass!
As I move on to university, I grew tired of the old one. After extensive research, I arrived at my best speakers, the Logitech Z5500. It was an interesting beast, considering that I was living in a 2 metre by 6 metres room in Holborn. Once I have it on, I was engulfed in its magnificence. Music sounds different now. It was in the range of £300 and I had to ask my friend to buy it first before I could repay him. My bank card didn't allowed more than £200 at that time for a purchase.
It accompanied me a good 4 years before I decided to sell it since I was going to leave the UK. I sold it to a London cab driver for £150 in perfect working condition.
YAWN, I feel bored writing this article myself. Note: find something more interesting to write about.

My interest
I believe it's appropriate to start listing out my interest:
(in random order)
1 food
2 computer
3 reading
4 basketball
5 enterprise risk management
6 life improvement
7 investment
8 improvement of the life of human
9 manga
10 fashion
11 architecture
12 humour
13 pursuit of happiness
Right, the list can go on and on.
Writing out this list makes me realise that I have a wide variety of interest.
Perhaps a little too many. These interest were taken on from my friends, inspiration from books, internet and etc.
When I was younger, it was easy for me to be influenced; as I age, it seems that I have been more stubborn and less easily influenced.
Note: I will also start a chinese blog, random posts too.

The start.
This is the first time I will start to write.
It will contain random thoughts, experience and even short stories.
Mr. Leo Babauta is my inspiration.
Focus of the blog:
(i) Straightforward language with no jargon.
In the case when I attempt to write technical ideas, simple and effective communication will be used.
(ii) Short blog post
(iii) Practise of writing.
This will also serve as a personal journal I share with the public.
