Sweets For Rae

Last night in London. Getting souvenirs tomorrow. Promised Rae sweets. So here's a selection in case she's picky.



So........

Hurry up and choose lah, Wei-Wei. Or I'm just going to go with the Percy Pig's.

Recap from Friday to Wednesday in London

So many things to write, so little time...We're always out the whole day, taking advantage of summer to stay out till 9 (yeah, it only gets dark around then), so I haven't been able to blog as much. However, here's a short summary of what we've been getting ourselves up to for the past 5 days:


Friday
Been to see Big Ben, London Bridge and the London Eye on a ferry on the Thames.
Spent the better part of the day at the Tower of London, where we gandered at suits of armor and the Crown Jewels. Not those kinda jewels, EV. -_-;

Saturday
Went for a 10km triathlon walk at nearby Kensington Park, where squirrels roam freely and grab you by the nuts nibble cutely at the nuts passers-by feed them.

Sunday
Trafalgar Square and St.Paul's Cathedral. The square is huge, and there was a live relay of the Opera Ballet's version of Romeo & Juliet from Italy. St. Paul's Cat is awe-inspiring, and even more massive than Trafalgar. However, NO PICS WERE ALLOWED INSIDE T___T

Well, it musnt've been anything special anyway. -_-;
Moving on~

Tuesday
First day it rained here, so we went to visit three musuems: the Victoria & Albert Museum, The National History Museum and The Science Museum. Which btw were all FREE ADMISSION xD yeah! Well actually we only visited the Science Museum since we kinda lost track of time, pfft. Spontaneously had a nosebleed for no apparent reason. -_-;

Today
Went to Regent's Park. The rose gardens here were simply MAGNIFICENT. Took lotsa pics, mostly close-ups of flowers; I'll put them up next week 'cos I've not much time here.

Tomorrow we'll be going on the London Eye if the weather holds, and on Fri we'll be spending the better part of the day indoors at the Library which two people have recommended to me already, so it must be good. It's 2am now (which is 9 in the morning for most of you) so

Toodles, and goodnight all~
^^

*looks up at post* Hmmf, so much for a short summary.

Smoke gets in your eyes....


And it stang like hell.




The whole room was full of it today, after mom put the heat on too high in the microwave oven and burned a HUGE hole in the flapjacks. The carbonized sugar and flour quickly devolved into acrid smoke, choking our lungs out and enveloping everything in smog.Even after opening the window and turning on that suckingappliancethingusuallyfoundoverhangingabovekitchenstoveswhichnameatminconvenientlyescapesme (is it called an Inhaler? Ugh, the smoke has addled my brain >_<) Anyway, it still took over a quarter of an hour for the CO(g) to fully dissipate.


Thus,
we spent the rest of the day around Trafalgar Square smelling like our hair had caught fire. =_=;





Well in other news, I've been having a mean auld time trying to upload pics onto Blogger, to no avail. The only way I could circumvent this problem is to upload to Fster and then copy the earl from there, but there're so many pics and precious little time...Sigh. Most of them will have to wait till after I get back from London, dangnabbit. In the meantime though, here's a trailer to a collage of pics I'll be doing in full:









~ON THE FIRST DAY IN LONDON, WE ALL WENT OUT TO SEE, A KNIGHT'S APPARATUS XD~
Falala~lala..

Where everyone speaks like Mary Poppins

Finally threw myself off the procrastination train to come up with this slush. I won't go into the nitty gritty of the processes but skip straight towards the meat of this post:

Cold Smoky Clean Quaint Cloudy Modern Green Multiracial Dramatic Expensive Monarchial Quiet Beautiful


Quite a few monikers, let's get into most of them presently.

Firstly, yes, it's cold. Around 20 degrees celcius in the daytime and 12 at night. The weirdest thing about this is that when you go out you expect it to be warmer than the inside,but the opposite is true. I've lost count of how many times I've been surprised by this whenever I brace myself for a cold blast of air when I come in from the outside and feel a dead calm instead. And vice versa. YESH EVRAE, ME JAKUN KAYS?? =_=;

Secondly, "smoky" you ask? Well it's not the car exhaust that air-conditions our lovely Malaysia, oh dearie me no, it's the cigarette fumes choking a dozen years off your lifespan wafting about every ten paces or so. Everyone smokes here, even the poodles, and those can go through ten fags a day. Conversely though, there's hardly any smog from cars and buses, which also are pretty quiet; the engines don't chuggle or wheeze so most of them only emit a nice little purr. No one honks either; road rage seems vitually non-existent here. ^^

The architecture was more than I expected--London has been subject to quite a few different influences since its beginning as a small Roman tradepost. Along with the usual British ornate stone carved buildings there're streets that draw from American, Moroccan, Central European, Post-Modern and Spanish roots.

Now, London is actually quite multiracial. Relatively relaxed immigration systems mean that the now-not-so-minor minority groups like Indian, African and Chinese aren't that sparse. Everyone, however, speak as though they're either Mary Poppins or extras on a Brainiac set, differing ethnic groups regardless.

One thing about this place is how absurdly expensive everything is! I mean, 2 pounds for an ice-cream cone?! That's actually 14 bucks of hard-earned money dude! It's 3 pounds for a McD's burger here, which is enough for four back at home! 5 pounds for a map of London! 22 for a guided bus tour! If we actually ate out everyday we'd be broke before wednesday! As it is all we're having is tuna sandwiches (that's what the canned tuna is for, Mina) and kimchi instant noodles! Well not really, but you get the idea! Plastic bags are not fully biodegradeable! Oestrogen is spelled with an "O''! Finishing my sentences in exclamation points is fun!
Like, you know?! 8! + 9! /6! = ??! Wtf thinking of admaths at a time like this! I have no idea how to end this paragraph! Bloody 'L! Dawn creeps up on me like fish sticks! I've been up all night doing this, which makes it 21 hrs of non-sleep! Not nearly as fearful as Mina's score but enough to make me look like an endangered species from China! And thus I go! To my bed! Lights out everyone! And I think I've drawn this out quite far already!

Goodnight! Or rather, good morning! =_=!


PICTURES UP SOON KAYS?
