Day 1: We had microwaved pizza for lunch. and because the heat from the microwave distorted the shape of our pizza (which was initially balanced above sam's tupperware), we ended up stuffing the pizza INTO the tupperware. Anyway, it tasted NOT BAD I guess. After that, Man and Johan came to our room to collect the luggage and we made our way to the funi station. Anyway, we reached the airport pretty early. had burger king (omg I waited so long for that day hahaha) and finally boarded the plane at 9.20. We arrived in London in about an hour and took a cab to 31 Charlwood Street (which was our hotel. omg I don't even wanna talk about it) When we reached, it was around 11pm. So we tried to open the hotel door but it was locked :O pretty understandable I guess. Since this is a small (probably family run) establishment. so erm.. idk. they must have their reasons for locking their main door. security reasons perhaps. lazy to receive more guests cos they're short handed? anyway, we were greeted by this fucking rude lady in her shower cap lol. she said the hotel was full and when we said, 'yea but we wrote in the website that we'll check in at 2am', she was like 'yea 2am in the afternoon' what the fuck right hahaha. first she couldn't speak english properly. and she has no common sense too. so anyway, I didn't really want to argue with her because she had no hair and I was scared of her. we just agreed to check in the next day. so plan b was to search for an alternative hotel. we walked around Charlwood Street, which was filled with rows of hotels (that looked like they were within our budget). BUT THEY WERE ALL FULL:( so we ventured around. just stoned. then we gave a call to Teri who said we could leave our luggage at Rachel's apartment(omg) for the night (so good to have rich friends right lolol) but before that, we still had time to camwhore. check this out:
Our very first photo in London with all our luggage and of course, in front of the iconic London phone booth.
Camwhoring in the cab on the way to Rachel's apartment (yea and I thought all London cabs were yellow. fucking joke man. Went there to see all colours but yellow)
k so we got off the cab, only to be greeted by Teri's laughter as she waved to us from the 3rd floor. hahaha! what a welcome. We went into the building, which btw is freaking awesome. it's like a classical white Victorian style house converted into apartments. Like what you'd see along Mayfair. Interior like 5th Ave apartments I guess hahaha! omg the entire place felt so homely and the stairs were all carpeted. not the laosai office kind of carpets that causes you to scrape your knee when you fall. The carpets there were soft and fragrant. when you step on it, you feel as if you're sinking in/walking on clouds. oolala. So we went into the apartment, which btw was furnished very tastefully. Had a warm shower and a good night's sleep. yay! Felt so blessed and happy. oh but before the shower, we had Bailey's. like with chocolate milk and everything. so gooooood!
Day 2:
Next morning, Sze Wen (Sam's friend) came to pick us up and take us to Charing Cross St to get our London Pass and travel tickets heh! Then we had dim sum for lunch! HAD BEEN CRAVING FOR IT SINCE FOREVER TOO!
My OOTD. haahah
Using the glass reflection at the dim sum restaurant to camwhoreeee
Sorry I thought I looked quite chio that day #shameless
The guys hahaha! (can you see the dui lian in the background?) Feels like I'm kinda at home man. hahaha
Hahaha yea after that we checked into the hotel. WORST SHITHOLE EVER. WILL ELABORATE SHORTLY. Texted Matt for abit then we left for Oxford Circus. Finally got to breathe proper shopping. AFTER SO LONG OMFG. Went to Topshop (which was just opp the station). Spent 1.5 hours there can you believe it. 3 stories of pure goodness. I ended up getting a black skater skirt and a tweed printed dress. (should I do a haul video soon?) Then I left to meet Alissa at Russell Square Station woohoo!
Missed her so much man! And she just kept going 'omg this is so surreal. us meeting and taking the tube in London. hahaha. Anyway, she took me to Primark at Tottenham Court Station and we skyped with Mak outside Primark! hahaha! Quite an epic experience I must say! But it's so good that the 3 of us can meet up either physically or virtually heh! Miss you guys like crazy! After that we had 15 mins to speed shop in Primark because they had this genius early closing time on Sundays:( So Alissa grabbed her boots. I grabbed stockings. And we were out. Ended up chilling at Wasabi. It's this japanese fast food joint thingy. something like Umi Sushi. We stayed there to keng gai till they closed. then met Sam and Sze Wen at the train station to pass her the room key card. Then I followed Alissa back to her room heheh! Someone stays so near the city eh. Can go shopping as and when you like please. hahaha! Still say you'll control. Gonna be not so easy dearie. hahah! Anyway yea, we stayed in her room for a while and camwhored. I tried looking to her opposite neighbours while she was in the bathroom. no hot guys leh. only nerdy angmohs. wasted. hahaha! Then I left at around 8.45. Didn't know how to walk back to the tube station. So I walked along the road to try to flag for a cab. I must be doing something incorrectly that day or smth. Couldn't flag a freaking cab even though most were empty. They probably couldn't stop where i was hovering around. So nvm lor. I continued walking till I saw Hilton. and a cab just outside it. Literally ran across the road (and risked my life in the process hahah) and the guy really took me for a ride lor. Eh you think I look like zhongguoren/ asian foreigner then don't know you took me past Buckingham Palace and all these unnecessary places isit >:( cb waste my money. hahaha! but at least I got back safe la. And that was it.
ok fuck I'm starving and I can't think already. haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon. hahah! Only had alot of Vodka with iced lemon tea last night. and Whiskey and stuff. (drank on an empty stomach wtf) Anyway yea, no food -> cannot think -> cannot blog. So stay tuned for part 2. hahah! I shall go study or do something productive. though I don't think anything will be productive when im so hungry. oh well. see how la.
