Hot Sweet Home

HELLO EVERYBODY! I'm safe at home right now! Woot! I survived 5 weeks of being not at home! As promised, UK trip photos! :D


29 Feb, Friday; Meet up with Sophia
When I first touched down at London Heathrow Airport, I was grining ear to ear. My body just felt so, so good! From the airport, I headed down to South Kensington by London Underground. I love it!Safely met up with her and we went walking around Picadilly Circus.I saw this Museum at Convant Park... London Underground is love!

1 Mar, Saturday; Greenwich with Sophia Photographer in action. Hehe.Photos of Greenwich with Sophia :( So can't post.
We saw like a pile of traffic lights. They're fake.
3 Mar, Monday; Visit to Kew Gardens

Saw a pack of wild deers in Richmond Park :) This is Kew Gardens! We brought along Uncle Henry, a 92-year-old man, who is Aunty Kathy's friend. So it was abit like CIP, bringing the old man around. I'm sure he had a great time! :)Reminds me of Singapore. Ahhh.After lunch, we had some remaining break and we used that to feed the birds. Fun!4 Mar, Tuesday; Exploring London Alone
Alone, but quite fun :) Went to Buckingham Palace first.Followed by the Big Ben! The details were so pretty! And it is so fine that my camera could not capture the little details on the clock.Standing tall...Next, the London Eye :)I was actually pondering if I should take it or not... 15pounds(45SGD) is kinda dear to me.. Then, I was thinking, if I travelled all the wayto be just below the London Eye and did not ride it, wouldent it be a pity? So off I went to the ticket counter :) Met a Singaporean couple in the queue :)Yep, the ride was a blast! The couple invited me to follow them along when I would be glad to do so :) So, we had tea before parting...Tra-fa-gar(lazy to look up for the spelling) Square5 Mar, Wednesday; Meetup with Benny
Chinatown!St James ParkSaw this man feeding all the ducks and squriels. This special one came up to his shoulder. I even had the chance to stroke it with my finger :)
In the evening, we caught "Wicked". The show was great! 6 Mar, Thursday; Out with Milli(Aunty Kathy's Daughter)
This is the Tower of London! Tower Bridge!Quite a blast to go out with her, even if she's hearing impaired... I made good use of my knowledge of my American sign language to communicate. When I give up, I will just type out the text in the handphone -__- But it's good to have such a lovely friend :)Nearest tube station from Aunty Kathy's house...7 Mar, Friday; Lunch with Sophia
Didnt do much... Had lunch with Sophia and went to her school to use the internet. Haha. Then, went to the Science Muesum beside her school to see see. FREE OF CHARGE WHAT!

8 Mar, Saturday; Visit to Stonehenge
Other than commenting it is just a few pieces of stone, look at the art of it... The shape, the arrangements and how did they ever transport the stones. This was built a very long time ago btw..They said that these arrangement of stones could tell the months. There wasnt a calender last time!These we the same stones... We could not go in and touch the original stones though, so they placed this by the entrance!8 Mar, Sunday; Mothers' Day, departure to Scotland!
This was my sleeping cabin :) Took the sleeping train again.
3 Mar, Monday; Arrival
I arrived early in the morning, and my room was not ready yet. So, I walk around and climed up Arther's Seat.I love climbing btw! It was so cold that my fingers and ears were numb! It felt like dropping off!
At the peak! Woot! Look the the wind blowing my hair! I squated becasue the wind almost blew me off when I stood up!!!!!
Then, went to some grass near the peak to rest and some chocolate. Ahhhh!Made my way down and saw a lake with all kinds of birds!4 Mar, Tuesday; Visit to the Edinburgh Castle
Some structures on my way there...
The castle!This is Carlton Hill, after my visit to the castle...5 Mar, Wednesday; Tour Around Scotland
I was so bored that I booked a tour bus to go around. Mind you, my train was to depart at 2340 and I had NOTHING to do 1st thing in the morning. Highland Cow! AINT HE CUTE?! CANNOT SEE! HAHAHA!Saw about 8 rainbows in total above the different nesses... Spectacular!Behind's me Ben Nevis! The highest mountain in UK!So I see here, see there. LOL. Our last stop was at a town, Perth... THIS IS THE ORIGINAL PERTH OK! NOT THE AUSSIE PERTH. LOL.So blahblah, took my night train back to London :)
6 Mar, Thursday; LAST DAY IN LONDON! :((
Walked around....In the evening, caught this musical. THE IS THE BEST MUSICAL EVER! I even stood up for the cast during curtain call! BRAVO!!!!!!! And I was dying to watch this since I was 9 witht the influence of my dad and brother cos they watch it twice!The next morning took the plane home and byebye... Stayed 2 more days in Germany before flying home to Singapore.

I am seriously obessed with the musicals I watched.

I am quite excited about joining drama in Poly and hope I will pass the audition!

Should I wear scarfs in Singapore since it is the fashion trend? HAHA.

Safe in Edinburgh

Hello! Just a lil update from Edinburgh. Of cos now I am super sian. I thought that this place will give like free wireless. But I am having it now, because the staff gave it to me because my supposed free wireless was not working. Grr. By right need to pay for using their desktop. Shoo! It makes me wanna go home more!

Well, just arrived by train in the morning and I am waiting to check in to have a good bath and get some proper sleep! I have not brushed my teeth yet too. Heh heh.

So I guess I won't be updating ah. No worries, I'm going to be fine! :D ok, that's encouraging myself. But I really do miss home now. Getting back in a weeks' time! Yay!

Till then! I have really learnt a lot this whole month...
