london day 2 and 3

oh yea~
i m back with day 2 and 3~
finally i get to go to the legen-wait for it- dary Harrods!
it's HUGE!
that's the only word i can think of...
when i went inside, i was overwhelmed by the grandness of the whole building...
not a single thing isn't branded...
basically it means i can't afford anything inside lar....
but of coz i didn't forget my purpose of going to harrods...XD

the whole building belongs to harrods...kua jiong right?
they have everything from seafood to lingerie...XD

oh ya...what was my purpose there?
of coz is macarons!
super expensive but it's a once in a lifetime thing lar...i don't get to go to london all the time right? so just splurge a little lor...

after that we just browsed around harrods and the shops nearby....everything is just humongous!

then then then~
how would not take a look of the tower bridge of london when u r in london right?
apparently, london bridge is just a plain looking steel bridge and tower bridge is the bridge that people normally visit...
no idea why are we are always posing like that XD
shin fong says that we looked like cicak man == and i almost gave an ang moh a hard sidekick by accident...>< sorry
posing along the streets~
tower bridge with our starbucks!

then of course...i planked again..in front of the execution ground...wtf...


then my battery died after this flashing photo ==

but our journey has no ended yet...XD
we went to have dimsum!
omg...i have been missing dimsum for quite a long time...
had har gao, siew mai ,zhar leong..etc...super like lor...
basically i like everything i eat XD

then we walked around leicester square again...hahaha surprise surpriseXD
then we went to westfield which is also huge!
why is everything so huge in london???

then that night we decided to eat something cheaper coz over budget edi...==
so we went to burger kings~
and we encountered a drunk angmoh that tried to steal our fries...
luckily our mr shinfong save that packet of fries...hahahahaha
we were so exhausted that we decided to just head back to the hotel after our late dinner..^^

bat gua and sleeping time XD

the next day~
we sneaked shinfong and siew choong out of the hotel by asking them to leave first without their luggage...
and it worked XD
nobody suspect anything...but shin fong's backpack was super heavy lor....and big ==
anws..we went to leicester square to meet up with venice's friends....

unfortunately...venice missed her coach back to liverpool and had to buy another ticket....FHL!
but her going back safely is what that matters...
so that's the end of my london little getaway...^^
hopefully i'll get to go there again or travel somewhere else...^^ cya~

opps i did it again!

will eventually get to what i did "again" ...
exams is finally over, that means that i am just 1 sem away from going home! 
xiao hui finally came to notts! 
super 兴奋 lo! 
as an awesome host! i pusposely clean up my room lor...XD 
scrubed my toilet until squeaky clean, changed my bedsheet and vacuumed the whole room...o.0
literally right after my exam lor...ok lar..right after the awesome post-exam dinner ...XD 
welcomed her at the train station~
went for lunch after picking her up from the train station because my stomach was grumbling like hell...
went to have buffet near old market square...forgotten the name of the restaurant...><
the ambience was quite nice and the price was quite reasonable...
my adorable xiao hui~ my turn to be the host~ 
we talked until four something then decided to just drop off her stuff at my hostel and go to UP XD 
some pictures are with her...
but when we were at UP it was already super dark..and no idea why all the lights there are so dim == 

after doing some "sight seeing" at UP, we walked to rose and crown to have our dinner~ 
my first 3 course meal in the UK~ 
it was quite a deal considering what we were served~
1 bottle of wine, 2 main, 1 sides, 1 hugeass desert~ 
 busy playing with the wine == 
 my fish and chips~ it was quite bland...but still tolerable...i m so used to tasteless food == 
 hui's pork ribs...looks mouth watering...
 our deset~ came with cream puffs, ice creams, orange flavoured cake, chocolate syrup~ 
me acting crazy with the wine == 

after dinner i came up that we should shoot a MV for my upcoming cover XD 
hahahahaha
the storyline was so cliche but bo bian lor..no budget maaaa and it's just for funXD 
so we started shooting near jubilee campus...it was so funny and cold at the same time...
will post it after editing and converting...which i dunno hw long will it take me...XD 

day 2~ 
woke up early just to go to UP to visit the ducks..==
because hui said that she'd nvr seen a real life duck before...unless u consider those roasted ones lar == 
 swans~ 



continued with our lameass filming XD 
hahahahaha
we even went to the playground nearby == 
how old are we? ==


why are we so childish? XD 
watch what we filmed after i do all the editing...
i think you will laugh eventhough it's for a sad song == 
 act cool epic fail == 
we headed down town after being such a kid...haha

paid a visit to the robinhood castle....
my second time there~
before that we went to a super antique bar for lunch then did some shopping~ girls XD 
then past by a church near broadmarsh...so we decided to take a look inside~ 



 tadaa~ robinhood castle~ 

of course we did not forget to plank! duh....XD 
motto: plank everywhere we visit~ 

after that we just went back to my hostel to cook and pack up for our london trip the next day~ 

and so the story begins ==
we were supposed to get up at 5.30 am coz our bus leaves at 7.10 am
guess what? 
we woke up at 7.20 am!!! == 
Y U do this to me again! 
ended up buying ticket for the next slot...== no way i m giving up my whole london trip but the price paid was 25 pounds! gosh! our initial ticket was only 7 pounds == 
anws..we managed to catch the 8.35am bus...
and tried to forget the fact that we have to pay extra...TT 
mr shinfong even called to make sure that we r coming to london...hahaha
london traffic was horrible...reached that an hour later than scheduled...
but the atmosphere there was worth the wait and money~
london is just so much different from nottingham..
everything is just bigger in london...
after some asking around, we walked to buckingham palace with our bulky luggage~ 
 exhausted~ 
buckingham palace!!! 
 guess what? we planked in front of the palace XD  i don't mind being laughed at when i m having fun XD 


after that we went to check in at our hotel~
for a 2 star hotel and considering the price that we are paying...the hotel was consider quite good lor! 
so we waited for our "tour guides" in our room~ 
finally~ after 30 mins...mr shinfong and mr siew choong is finally here~ 

 chinatown is where we went first~ 
 our first meal in london~ four seasons siew mei~ 
i wasn't blowned away but it wasn't bad...at least it was hong kong style chinese food that i m more used to lor...
and i really liked the garlic gai lan~ the downside was probably the pai guat...but other than that i'm not a picky eater so i'll say it's not bad ^^ 
but the service there isn't really friendly lor...
they literally shove the bill at us and ask us to leave 30 secs after finishing the food...==
after our very late lunch we just walked around leicester square~
went to the huge m&m shop~ 
walao..super colourful lor...

 super tempted to buy myself one of those bottles lor...but the price just scares me...==
a korean girl took this for us and she was shocked when i said gamsahabnida XD 

after some more walking and looking~ we went to oxford street~






why is everything so facinating in london?
and i just found out that siwon was at oxford street that night too!!! why didn't i see him? ><
 super cute doe eyed cinderella lor! 

princesses~~~ 
i don't have any excuses to get them myself ><

after some more walking~ we went to see the big ben and london eye~ 

super nice lor~ 
met some more koreans there...hahaha xiao hui kept saying there here to chase siwon too XD 
after that we went back to leicester square to meet up with onglin, hui er and darien for korean food~~~ 
OMG! korean food lor! couldn't find any in notts and liv...

group photo of tsun jin-ers~ 

went back to the hotel and smuggled the 2 guys back == 
so gan jiong that the hotel staff will find out lor == 
anws~ to be continued for london day 2 and 3~
