super updates

Ok. The super-updating of my blog is killing me. Its crazy and I am not in tip-top shape to update so much at once. Thank goodness Ah Ma is a more hardworking blogger compared to me. So, I'll be brief and give my beloved readers the link to what's been happening!

1) Law Social
We attended our first English stand-up comedy act. It was an interesting experience. To be honest, I don't really get English jokes but some of the comedians were really good. Just that 90% of their jokes were sex based. I liked... LOL!

For full details: Girls Night Out! (click, click!)

2) First Snow
Yesssssssssss!!! The first time I saw, touched and played with snow!!! The ang-mohs were amused at our glee; we practically screamed, pranced and fooled around the moment we stepped foot out of the building into the white of snow! The experience of first snow was for me, undescribable.

I still remember receiving the text message telling me that it was snowing and I rushed to the window and there was snow! I was so happy that I actually laughed out loud, alone in my room. I believe you would've the same reaction as me if it was a first for you. ^_^

Snowing in Autumn (click, click!)

3) Halloween Weekend
This is interesting because the people here really celebrate Halloween and they do go all out to dress up. And they're pretty creative with their costumes! Some angmohs started partying as early as Thursday, the day before Halloween, and continued partying 'til last night.

However, on Halloween Day itself, we did not party cos we've gotten tickets for the Halloween Party on Saturday night (1st November) in the University club. We heard it was pretty happening, so we couldn't wait to try clubbing there!

Here's the link to the party in Wessex Bar on Halloween itself: Halloween. (click, click!)

Hopefully someone updates on the party on Saturday night soon, then I can post the link and you'd all have a taste of what its like even though ur not there!

^_^

Ok, people. My work is done. Thanks to Ah Ma's blogging capabilities. Muahahaha! But I will be blogging about my Stonehenge trip soon! So, keep a watch out for that!

Ta-ta!

London Day 3

The only thing we did today was just to visit The Queen. Yes, we were that important. So important that we had to walk all the way to Buckingham Palace. We passed by Green Park, if not mistaken, and oh-so-awesomeness-walauweh, the scenery was sooooo beautiful, its as if we were in a postcard.

I'll let the pics do the talking now. And its a lot of 'em. You have been warned.

Gorgeous

Tiang lampu terlampau cantik hingga tak tahan mesti pose dengannya

"Eh, the statue middle finger me lah!"

Girl fight in the middle of London!

On our way...

Classic example of spasticism

"Say cheeeeeese! Cheeeese...? Please say cheeeeeeese! Oh gawd, why won't u say cheese? Arghhhh! Say it, say it, say it!"

Run, baby, run!

Breathtaking

Smells like whisky

Wheeeee!!!

Trying to sneak up on the pigeon and kick it. Needless to say, they were outsmarted

Eye of London in the background

Funky chairs in the park

She loves digging noses -_____-"

We came...

We saw...

We camslutted!

Woohoo!

Buckingham Palace!

I really dunno what is up with the English and their statue craze...

Nice ^_^

Humongous and intricately designed gates

Side gates

I feel so short

The park outside Buckingham Palace



After Buckingham Palace, we went back to Leicester Square where Naima's uncle was. He had so very kindly treated us to dimsum. And I have to say, that was the best dimsum that I have tasted in my entire life! Its even better than Malaysia! Can you believe it? Its because the sifu-sifu there were really from Hong Kong and they sure as hell know how to make dimsum!


More came after this was taken


And ohhhhh, we had our nails done too. We paid a greatly reduced price thanks to Naima's aunt but to be honest, it was still considered a splurge. Ah well, something to bring back to Reading from London and make us happy for weeks. Lol.


Tah-dah!

Naima's nails

Ah Ma and mine



Jealous?


London Day 2

Woohoo! Got the whole day to explore London. Our first stop was Camden Town. This place was well known for its wackiness and weird street stuff. And Camden Market had pretty good bargains; just that if the stall owner was English, no negotiations, unlike Chinese ones.

In Camden, we had brunch in a pub. It costed a bomb but it was not bad. The portions were huge!

You can get english breakfast inside The Elephant's Head

Alcohol selection

People here would drop dead without alcohol

Toast! Yeah, very normal...

Yum!


Here's some pics of Camden town and market! ^_^

Cool concept

"Miao. I got stuck on the wall"

She stands there all day

LOL!!!!!

Camden Market, duh~




How to look goth without spending money

Food stalls!

"Lao-sai" inducing doughnut stand

Camden Market Hall

Ah Ma bought herself a pink rose ring - expensively beautiful *coughcough*


After Camden, we went to Covent Garden where we saw some funny human statues. You must pay to take a pic with them or else, they'd chase after you and slap you in the face. Don't be stupid, I was bullshitting. But of cos, its kinda an unwritten rule that you must put some money into the box to take a pic with them. Besides that, there's also some interesting places such as the Toy Shop which we curi-curi camwhored in.

Perverted silver man

But we paid to pose with him

And this is how he treated us. Bastard.

Loving the Toy Shop design!

Thank goodness its not 'Bollocks Toy Theatre'...

No comment

Covent was fun but then we had to leave and return to Leicester Square cos we bought tix to watch a musical! We watched Stomp and it was awesome!!! No exaggeration, people. But seriously, one of the must-dos when in UK is to watch at least one play or musical cos they are damn good! Omg. If you have the chance, you must watch Stomp! It was funny, exciting and entertaining. Plus, as icing on the cake, the performers were seriously handsome, bloody fit (nosebeed!) and just so... so... *drools*

STOMP!!!

Sudahlah the performers were so Manhunt material, when they sweat (hey, performing is hard work) it made their biceps and abs glisten so sexily and, and...

*faints*

Thus ended Day 2. We died happy in the theatre.

Hahahahha! Actually, we went to Naima's relatives' place in Collier's Wood which was also bloody far from London and we were well fed by them, and could have had a very comfortable night except for the fact that everyone got sick, especially poor Maria. But I'd rather get sick in London than in Reading! Thank you, Naima and relatives!
