How To Enjoy University A Little Bit More.
In the next few years, the first generation of British Born Thais in my circle of family friends will head into university and come September 2012, I too, will find myself back in higher education to study for a Masters. I enjoyed my time at university and look back on it with great fondness. As […]

You might think that being born and brought up in London with Thai parents would give me the enviable advantage of being bilingual. Unfortunately, you’d be wrong.

Last week, I survived my second epic run from my house to Canary Wharf, London’s Financial District. As I reached my finish line and tried to stop my small cardiac muscle from bursting, I was approached by a lady (yes, she was pretty) and asked if I could complete a survey for her project.

In celebration of the new Lunar Year and particularly being the Year of the Dragon, I decided to check out the Chinese New Year event being held in London at Trafalgar Square. I must admit, I’m not a fan of being in places where there are loads of people and you’re forced to walk, dodge […]

A message to say a very Happy (Lunar) Chinese New Year to all my readers and friends =) For those who don’t know yet, it is the year of the Dragon and for those are even quicker, I was born in the year of the Dragon (1988) so I guess 2012 has that addedsignificance and […]

What really annoys when it comes to academic work is the word limit. For most people, it’s trying to figure what the hell to write. (shouldn’t have been on Facebook in lectures, eh?). Then when you’re finished writing your essay, you realize, you’re no way near the word limit set. So then you wonder what […]
