Pre-Lake District

Am supposed to be going to Lake District today. Train at 10.30am. It's 5am now. I need to pack. More importantly, I need to sleep.. Bleh.. Bernie came over again later on last night to borrow my sleeping bag since he's going to Oxford and Reading to visit Amy and Joanne. I bought Ben's cookies for him to try. Talk about overeating..

Anyway, I'm supposed to pack for the LD trip but.. I got a bit distracted. Well.. not really la.. I had to fold my laundry before I could pack so...

All my neatly folded clothes which I have yet to put away.

THEN I got distracted.. I packed up my books and notes which I plan to store... tidied the dining area up a bit... and sorted out the recyclables..

Loads of paper, glass bottles, Red Bull cans, plastic bottles and old clothes..

And I'm still not yet packed for Lake District. Gonna be doing a lot of hiking and stuff.. And it's supposed to be cold.. My whole body still aches from playing badminton on Wednesday and I'm gonna go hiking. Fantastic. I'll be lucky to get back alive.. On the bright side, I'm missing lab today!! =)

Bernie in London... again!! =)

Seems I become a tourist everytime Berps comes to London.. It's good in a way that I would never bother to see parts of London that are usually out of my way.. Worse part was travelling yet again because of the tube strike.

We actually had lunch at Abeno Too before walking to Trafalgar Square and on to the river.

Bernie's idea to take this photo.

The oracle knows all..

Some of the street performers by the riverside were actually quite cool..

Some weird Dali sculpture.

My face sooo round!!! T_T

More Dali stuff..

Can you spot Bernie's head? He insisted I took the entire building so I did..

Then we had Haagan Daaz after a really, really long walk. Caramel cream and biscuit, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate midnight cookie, macadamian nut brittle, waffle and strawberries!! Yum! No wonder la.. face getting rounder and rounder!!

Then I had to face the trouble of getting back to Earl's Court. Stupid, tulan, pms bus driver.. first he show sour face. Then he complain someone keeps pressing the bell. THEN he terminated the bus at freaking Hyde Park! Had to take no. 52 to High Street Kensington and walked back... Strike should be over by now thank goodness..

Oliver, Oliver..

Exams have come and gone... Oh, how I dread the thought of resits.. For now, I'm just enjoying what little time I have left in London. Boy, I'm so not gonna miss this place when I go back to Kuching. 10 more days till I fly back! Yay!

So... been quite busy lately.. I actually had to write down what I was gonna do each day otherwise I'll lose track and forget what I've done and what I've yet to do.. Basically, I've been going to the gym but.. eating out alot too.. hehe.. am still not cooking due to the previous disaster.

Best of all, I went to watch another musical!! Oliver!! I saw Rowan Atkinson acting as Fagin!! It was hell getting to the theatre because of the tube strike. Made it with 10 minutes to spare!!

I thought the theatre was really grand.. I got away with only two photos before being told off not to take any pictures in the theatre..

Rowan Atkinson was really funny and all but my 2 fav songs don't include the ones he sang.. This song was in the second half.. and I really, really like it..

This one was actually earlier on in the first half.. it was a pretty cute song ^^

Mmmm.. I love musicals and all the theatre stuff.. my parents will kill me if/ when they find out how many I've watched already this year.. but I swear, I have a good reason to watch every single one of them.. my excuse for Oliver being that I just had to see Rowan Atkinson..

Journey to the Center of Richmond Park

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, 6 friends decided to venture out to Richmond Park in Zone 4.. First thing we did upon reaching the park..

We needed ice cream!!! Even Ken who hates sweet stuff!!

We settled down for a picnic..

Steph and her hand sanitizer.

Wen-Jei loves her ice cream..

Yes, she does =)

I love the sun..

Feeding grapes.. don't shove it all down, Ken.

Us girls and our sunnies..

Very, very good weather..

Time to find the center of the park.. hmm.. which way??

Supposedly, there should be wildlife around.

Somewhere in this photo, there are 3 deers...

Steph in a hollow tree..
