London trip (4/11 - 7/11)

Hiya… I am back from London d…. so fast 4 days 3 nights , it just passed by like that. I would like to say thank you to my two house mates for giving me a nice and pleasant LONDON trip , WW n CY.

Well just wanna briefly tell you my trip how it went by.. hope I will not bored you with my details….

Day 1 :
Saturday we took a bus down to London , it was a EIGHT HOUR bus.. gosh it was really a long long journey.. another 5 more hours then I will be back in KL by British airway hehe.. but what I can ask for, its just a 1 pound bus trip down … so on the way we took the “hotdog rollover” on the bus and munch on the way and then we ate some crisps… yaikss… getting fatter and fatter everyday. The bus stopped at Preston , Manchester and then only London , while we were approaching London , we can see from all directions that there are many fire works all around , and then I thought of how is the fire works in Glasgow.. it should be nice too… Lucky us that we manage to catch a very near n nice fireworks , once we get down from the bus (after a long bumpy ride haha) we stand there and started taking photos n videos..

Then later on we took the tube from Victoria Station (gosh.. its my favourite eating place in KL, I just miss the rib-eye I used to eat, how lucky to be Malaysia) to the Morden station which is in South London and then took a bus to Genesie che che n William ko ko hse.. I am so happy to meet the kids Lotter and Logan.. I miss them n feel so happy to see Malaysian again hehe…

Thanks to Genesie Che che for cooking “min fun cha guo” (canton) for us to eat , it was a cold weather so nice to have some soupy stuff hehe… (something weird we know that , Glasgow is hotter than London , just cant believe it sometimes , I need to wear2 layers in London but not in Glasgow , WHY??!!) and then later played with the kids until mid night hehe , they were too tired until knock out..

Well didn’t manage to sleep well that night , slept at 5am hehe because just couldn’t sleep… the kiddo is snoring like an adult, suddenly miss nic nic.. long time didn’t sleep with her already …

Day 2 :
So next day, Sunday woke up at 9 or 10am , I think not too sure, as it was the kids who woke us up because its their cartoon they are really cute and obedient , just at the last part Logan became a bit violent haha… he is really cute… suddenly thought of having my own kids faster.. And guess what my first Roti Canai in UK , is done by Genesie Che Che, I really have no idea she can make , she ask me to ask Alex kor kor , so to alex “ how do you make Roti Canai?” J

So we went to Central London with Genesie che che and Lotter as the car is not enough to contain us all , we took the tube to Leicester Square (correct reading : “Lexter Square”) where the Chinatown is , so many chinese ppl and also saw a restaurant that last time when I went to HK , I ate with my parents it was a memorable wan… then Genesie CheChe brought us to eat dim sum and tried something new - Duck Tongue (yaiks… a tribute to Alex kor kor because their family are brave ppl in tasting hehe) Genesie che che didn’t ate much because she only took the duck tongue haha… but then she got eat some dim sum.. it was a very tasty lunch. A big thanks to Genesie Che Che n William kor kor again ….

Then we walk to Trafalgar Square ( I just feel so touched when I go to all this places , because It makes me remember the time I spend in Seremban with my family playing hours of Monopoly… and now I am “walking” in the monopoly places… really happy ) and then we met Ah Hong Kor Kor ( CY cousin bro) and Rachel Che Che (CY cousin Bro GF) hehe.. they bring us to many places , London Eye , Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Tower Bridge, oxford and regent street and a few places.. hehe don’t really remember the names again… :P ! but a very big thanks to them for bringing us around London , it was fun .

Then we stayed at his place which is in Hatfield, 20 minutes train away from Central London and it was a nice , comfortable stay there , and very very cold too.. But lucky that they have a very nice fire place.. ( I just dreaming that my hse will have a fire place , OK , I mean a hse in UK not Malaysia. A fireplace in Malaysia is obviously going to be an oven in KL haha… ) and then that night we went to bed around 1 something too.. hehe..

Day 3 :
Then the following day (Monday), Me , CY n WW went separate place , as I need to meet my ex-maid.. not my maid any more she is now my friend J so happy to meet her at Galleria ( a shopping complex in Hatfield) . Yeeda and Crystal (Yeeda’s daughter) took a bus from Hemel Hempstead to Hatfield then Yeeda treat me breakfast in MacDonald.. Gosh it was so luxurious to have McBreakfast for breakfast. I ordered just a burger - cheese , bacon and egg bagel , but then Yeeda insist that I should take a whole set so at the end I have orange juice and also hash brown. I never like hash brown but then that hash brown just feel so nice and tasty luxurious……. Hehe

Well half way meeting with Yeeda , my friend on the other hand , Text me and ask me to meet them up ASAP , because running low on cash haha…. Yeeda ask me “are you still the financier?” ( it reminds me last time when I go to Pasar Malam with her, I will hold the money and 2 of us will spend 2 hrs in Pasar Malam shopping and eat and have fun , it is really the best time that time) and so after eating the breakfast I say goodbye to yeeda and start my “1-Man” journey to Greenwich.. hehe…

Well I took like 45 minutes to reach greenwich and then my 2 cute hse mate tell me .. o.. we need to meet at waterloo station .. gosh I need to wait another 20 minutes for another Light Rail to reach and go to Waterloo station and guess what the station is so damn big that its so so so hard to find where are they hehe… so at last we are lucky to meet up .

Then from there we went to Tate Modern to take the slides .. hehe it was fun (dear next time I bring you go ya… ) and then from there we walk to St Paul Cathedral and make a short prayer with WW and then we hop on the bus to go to Big Ben and waited for it to “DONG” at 4pm hehe.. then we hope on the train again to Royal Albert Hall and Prince Albert Memorial ( if I am not wrong hehe the memorial opposite the Hall ) and then to Harrolds hehe ( the most prestige and expensive shopping mall in London ) but then actually its just a mall with many different sections and also expensive stuffs inside. Then from there we went back to Leicester Square - Chinatown.

We meet up with WW n CY ex-class mate – Chia Ean ( hope I spell correctly) and then we went to Misato and eat Jap food.. first Jap food in UK very memorial , we ate 1 bento and 1 jap curry chic rice , it was nice and the portion was ok . But then when we ordered California Roll they gave us 6 maki… gosh.. I really feel like telling them straight in the face “ go to Japan or Malaysia n learn your sushi skills again , this is obviously not a California roll” feel so kena tipu that time.. yaiks…

So after dinner we took a train back to King’s Cross St Pancras station. We took the 9 ¾ platform ( hehe if you know movie well its to Hogwarts Platform hehe)then later we reach Kor kor place and then hehe cinema time – LOTR III ( in the case you forget such a nice movie it’s the Lord of The Rings – Return of the King) we watch that movie on our bed and chat all the way.. I just cant help not to smile when I see Legolas (gosh . he is just too handsome in that suit ) Then we chat about each others bf a bit n then went to sleep hehe..

Day 4 :
Next day (Tuesday) we woke up clean the place and ate a big big bowl of Bihun kor kor cook previous night and then clean up the place and arrange it back to the original position then walk to the train station and went to King’ Cross station . We reach Victoria station early so bought biscuits and crisps to help us kill some time in the bus , as we have no songs to listen d.. A 10 hour journey back to Glasgow.. on the stop in Manchester 2 leng zai (actually I personally feel that 3 leng lui’s) got up the bus… why I notice them because of their hair style very “girl” ler.. but better than my messy hair.. hai… hope 1 day I can cut my hair here , I dunno why.. keep feel like cutting short .. but then winter coming so .. cannot be short or else Christine will FREEZE…

Ok that is for all , enjoy the pictures ya… tata ..
