dscf07281LONDON HAS A BEN&JERRY’S VENDING MACHINE!HAHAHAHHA

So I touched down in the wee hours of the morning. The weather was cold and a fabulous reprieve from Singapore’s sweltering heat HAH. The hotel I stayed at was near Chelsea football stadium! :)

Anyway, just so you should figure how expensive living in London is..a full day ticket for the Underground(their MRT) is a freaking 5.10pounds. That’s only for tourists. Forthe locals, its 1.50pounds per trip. Yea, go do your math.

Apparently, it was some memorial service occasion when I head to Buckingham Palace so there were horses and all around. I liked the maple leaves! The way they turn in the wind is so pretty haha.

Anyway, the second day in London was SHOPPING. There’s this area in central london where there are two streets lined with shops….that’s approx 2miles of shops. I couldn’t finish shopping at all of them and the fashions in London are the BOMB. Shopping in Singapore is gonna be such a bore from now on. Anyway, hit all the local boutiques as usual as the usual haunts. I bought mainly shoes and accessories. the clothes are for winter mah..but OMG Kate Moss topshop is super ex..one basic tee costs 50 big london ones. WTF lol. I wish I could live on oxford street and bond street man. and unexpectedly, H&M is cheap, really cheap…and its has truckloads of accessories. I bought quite a lot…and PRIMARKS. It’s a shoppers galore I tell you, there are so many freaking clothes you will just die trying them on becos you are too damn worn out HO!

Second day evening went to King Cross Station(HARRY POTTER LOL) to pick Jess up! DA JIE! HAHAH.Met up with uncle bernard(above) for dinner at some super duper expensive Chinese resturant. We ordered 5 dishes..the total price of the meal was 200 pounds, paid by the uncle. Anyway, we ordered dessert but heh, I wanted alcohol! Qinying! look at the name of the drink I ordered! ITS CALLED PINK CLOUD! It tastes like an alcoholic strawberry milkshake!

aiyah, mdm tussad’s the next day! a lot of pics leh..i’m lazy anyway, did you know that miley cyrus has her own wax figure?? SHE’S BARELY 16! and anyway, the CHAMBER OF HORRORS is not for the faint-hearted. Me and dajie were holding hands and screaming our heads off because the live actors will hide and scare you with their horrible make-up haha. I WANNA DO IT AGAIN!

BICESTER VILLAGE WAS THE LOVE!
