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.
