Summary of my London trip (Part 2)

Day 5:
Went to Canary Wharf where tall skyscrappers are located. It's basically where all the different banks are... Later, we took the train (f.o.c) to GMT (Greenwhich Meridian Timeline).... Had lunch at "Tai Won Mein" which basically serves all sorts of noodles and rice... After that, we walked around Trinity College (yup, the one dealing with music) before we headed up the hill to GMT.

Day 6:
Went to Covent Garden... there were lots of street perormances over there... Tried a very special cookie over there... all the cookie comes with various melted fillings in it (i.e chocolate, peanut butter).... We decided to treat William and Daryn for dinner for their great hospitallity and decided to go for Korean food at Rant. It was marvelous. The thought of it is already mouth-watring. Then went to Thames River since there was festival going on (Thames Festival)... Bumped into Abby, Rosalyn, Aaron, Thomas, Joyce, Anna and the gang.... at the fountain... We got ourselves some beer and walked around trying to get a good spot for the fireworks which is the finale of the festival.

Summary of my London trip

Day 1:
Eunice and I took the Virgin train fr Central Station to London Euston. We reached there abt 2pm, waited at Burger King for her friend to pick us up. We end up staying with her friend at 55 Ebury Street, an appartment near Victoria Station. Daryn suggested that we should book the tickets for London Eye online cos the queue is pathetically long. So, we ended up booking the tickets for both Madamme Tussaud n London Eye online. We were told that the guys planned to go clubbing on that night and we've decided to follow. We went out for dinner at a Japanese Restaurant ( i dont know where)... the price was reasonable and the same goes with the taste of the food. After dinner, we went back to the appartment to get changed and left at around 11.30 to Heaven (an undergraound gay/lesbian club- open to public on Mondays). According to Daryn, that's the club with most asians around. We gotta Q for abt 20 mins before we could get in and prior entering, we were being body searched (the body search thingy kinda sux- very thorough). It's a really nice club with 3 different dance floors (trance's the best!!)... 5 bars (chilled out area).... We left at around 5am. Damn tired, slept at around 6am....

Day 2:
Woke up at around 11.30 am, had dim sum for lunch (between 1pm to 4pm, the dim sums are at half price)... The lunch was awesome...Then headed to Oxford Street for SHOPPING!! No pics....

Day 3:
Woke up at 8am, headed to Madamme Tussauds Wax Museum. The crowd wasnt that bad but still difficult to capture pics... We also went for the Chamber Live which is basically where u get scared by the staffs who dressed up as various types of ghosts, appearing in front of u outof no where, scraming at us asking us to run and even pop up behind you with their disgusting breathing... but it was a nice experience. Then, we had lunch at Four Seasons Rest which is famous for their roast duck rice. Next, went to Kensington Palace/Garden & Hyde Park. Had a stroll over there before heading to London Eye.

Day 4:
Went to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of guards (which i personally dont dfind it interesting)...Then walked to Trafalgar Square before heading to Harrods. We had lunch at Patisserie valerie
which is a haven for cake lovers like me. It's located net to Harrods where rich mothers spent their day drinking coffee while enjoying their pasteries.
I met up with my cousin at night for dinner at Royal China and it was awesome.

Speechless

Yup, speechless... wordless... There are definitely times when you feel like there's nothing more that u can say... for instance like happy times or when u r surprised. Have u ever felt so dissapointed till u just cant seem to say a thing about it anymore? Well, that's what i'm experiencing right now.
I'm seriously very dissapointed in u.... after what u've done... i've seen your true colors... not only me, in fact more and more people already knew the real u! FAKE....
I've always hated liars and fakers.... wearing a mask everywhere u go.... trying to potray the very beautiful side of u when deep down inside you are so evil.... cunning... But seems like u've managed to do it really well.... cos people do fall into your trap.

There goes my summer........

Autumn's here and i really missed Summer. Wonder how am i gonna survive through Winter when all i could see thru my window is complete darknest (darn, dont wanna think about it).

Summer has been a tough season for me cos lotsa things had happened. Hectic scheduele and horrible tests (PP3 the killer) filled up 2/3 of my summer. Summer has been a season full of tears, joy, laughter, mixture of ups and downs. Oh yes, and not to forget, that was the time when i got admitted to the hospital for the first time in my life!! (i surely know how to make use of the NHS, dont i??) Gotta really thanked my housmates particulary EUNICE for all the hastle back then. When most of our batchmates were busy preparing for the PP3 exam, i was lying still on the bed of the Royal Infirmary and housemates gotta come and accompany me the whole day. THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS! and not to forget, thanks for all the sms-es from some of u!! thank god that my housemates and i managed to passed PP3 despite the amount of time we used to study or i would certainly feel guilty if anyone of us didnt make it thru.

so, my last 1/3 of the summer was awesome and i really missed it. we might probably be the last few ones to come out with a holiday plan but it was great tho! first, we headed off to edinburgh for the fireworks (marking the end of edinburgh festival). i could still remember the moment i stepped into princes street, i fell in love with it and began to tell myself that glasgow sux. (unfortunately, i'm stucked here for another 1 year) The next day, we headed of to the Highlands. Great experience i would say, my first time climbing up hills, rocks and mountains.

The following week, we went to London. Theng and Jack stayed in a Uni Hostel while Joe, Eunice and I stayed at Will's place (Eunice's friend). Oh, we got to know Daryn, the neighbour cum tour guide. They (Will + Daryn) brought us around the whole of London (well, almost the whole of it). I missed the view and the food there. GREAT PLACE, GREAT FOOD, GREAT COMPANY!! that kinda sums up my London trip. Double thumbs up!!!

p.s. pictures will be up soon.......
