Lull in London

I was supposed to take the Circle Line to go to Knightsbridge where Harrods is, but KNOW WAT??

Like some person OR a body was on the line cos i couldn't!

Anyway, thankfully i cld take the Picadilly line there as well!




Went to Harrods especially for my gf to help her get some tea!

I REFUSED to walk around cos everything sure pricey lor, and in pounds too, like times 3 sg dollars!




Took Metro to Leicester Square to meet my dear friend who's working in London...

Snapped some pics of buildings and stuff while waiting for him..

There were some people doin filming of some sorts, but i didn't recognise those being flimed so didn't bother..




Waiting for train to arrive!

I LOVE London for the main fact that everything's in English!

N i've been here like 6 times in my life, and there're still things i've yet to see!




Yes, my friend whom i've known for a decade!

He's a malaysian, and now happily GAY and PR in London! Another SLUT!

But he totally changed his appearance this year, looks so working class and mature huh?!

Wasn't quite used to it.. I like him w/o glasses and his long hair and his slacks!




He brought me to this restaurant in China town.. Ordered a famous Hongkong drink for me.. it's tea mixed with coffee!

We had Loads to eat! Had some pseudo substitute for Peking Duck..

Wasn't too bad, but the original Peking Duck's way better!

Had the famous duck and pork with rice meal too.. But I prefer the one at Four Seasons, at Bayswater station in London...




China town with its Chinese New Year decorations...




My friend's shop above.. Used the internet while i was there.. Free!

His friend's cafe nearby.. I cld get Free bubble tea cos he's friendly with the owner.. heh




The escalators in London metro are so long!

Everyone's supposed to stand on the right if not climbing up/down...

Good practice i feel...

In Singapore everyone stands everywhere! But then again, the escalators are short so i guess it's ok...


My PEK CEK story...



Was trying to find the BBC Television Centre to go for the guided tour..

But the concierge told me to go to Euston Square and walk, then when i reached there, was told to go to Oxford Circus..

Ok FINE. so i went and walked and i finally reached BBC!

BUT it's NOT the tele centre it was at White City!

And I had to book a day in advance so no pt heading there... STupid Concierge! Said can book there and then.



So, i decided to walk ard the area since I was there.. and saw a Marble Arch sign.

Asked how far to walk, someone said 15 mins. so i was like, wat the heck, walk lor..

BUT IT's NOT 15 mins! like half an hr at least! N there was a train station just there!

N i cldn't even cross the road to get to the Marble Arch cos the road was SO busy!

I stood across just trying to take a good pic of it! it's just a normal arch like those i saw in Paris!




Was supposed to meet my friend before goin to Princess Diana's memorial..

But since i was nearer already and he wasn't done with work, I went ahead.

N noe wat? i was supposed to alight at the next station, Queensway but the metro announced that it wasn't goin to stop there! HUH. sway.

So i alighted at Notting Hill instead and decided to walk.

But i found out from a cyclist that the walk is pretty far and it wasn't safe for a gal alone in the park when it's dark.

He suggested that i go and see Princess Diana's cafe, cos the memorial doesn't have anything but a fountain.

I went in, and asked the owners. Apparently the memorial closes at 1700 and by the time i was there, it was 1730!

CRAP! ARGH!



Saw this Notting Hill cafe that reminded me of Notting Hill, the movie.

Was supposed to meet my friend at Soho to club, but decided to just have dinner nearby with colleagues and stay in.

They were reporting incidents about HAPPY SLAPPING ard streets and it spook me up quite abit.

In any case i walked so much already, i was lazy to do so anymore!




The next day the group of five stayed in the hotel to play cards and blind man's bluff! haha.

The room was so small we kept bumping into things.. it was so funny!

N i found out my two gfs were guides too, like myself! ha




We just head out for our meals and went to get some foodstuff at Waitrose supermarket...

Was supposed to meet another friend for dinner, but we were both tired so didn't...

Bovril! The black stuff you put in porridge, they dun sell it in sg anymore!

Basically this trip to London was like the lullest ever!

I didn't meet all my friends in London this time and didn't really see or head out much!

But it's all cool. I watched DVDs!
