Money for fashion
My love for fashion has finally earned me some money today. As Beverly and I were walking along Oxford Street this afternoon decked out in our scarves and sunglasses (yes, although there's no sun, the British find every reason to wear sunglasses, so what the heck, so do I), this lady approached us and asked us if we could do a survey and we would be paid £5! We half think it's because of the way we dress, and also because we are the minority race here in London and they need to meet their race quota. Back home, I try to apply for these stupid surveys just to earn money and no one wants me. Naturally, we said yes, and it was the most fun survey ever. It was all about fashion and brands - and ohmygosh, I talked for ages on what I thought about DKNY, Ted Baker, Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss. I actually had fun doing it because it is my favourite topic to speak about, and plus, an extra £5 in my pocket! And I was just saying I needed to find a wad of cash on the ground. This is ALMOST free money. I knew my useless knowledge would one day come in handy!
Bo went back to Southampton today after a good five days, and we've moved from the Bayswater area to Earl's Court just for a change of scenery. It has been such a wonderful time with her, and I am going to miss her so much till she gets back home. We ended our time together with a bang as well with two of our lifelong dreams fulfilled- getting Chinese takeaway and eating it out of the carton, and drinking Starbucks in the cold weather with the warm liquid warming you up immediately. But I can't wait for the second part of my trip - April's coming down to London on Friday and from there we're going to meet up with Ling. :) Might go down to Greenwich tomorrow as well, where that stupid time meridian thing is. I remember Pearl Mao going on and on about that in secondary school. So that's pretty cool.
I realised I'm blogging more in London then I ever do back home.
Dinner calls now though. :)
Much love from London. xoxo
