London Part I

Hello. It's 1.33am now in Plymouth and I just got the mood to post an entry. Took abit of time to upload the photos before I start typing my usual nonsense. Sooooo, here I go!
-
Friday midnight, I freaking hell slept at 3am cos I HAD TO PACK SLOWLYYYYYY hahaha.
Here a picca of my DnD on my 2 bags :D
I realised I have been neglecting them :/
-
This is the London Pass that admits you into 55 attractions in London!
Excluding London Eye FYI- luckily serene and I were not keen for the london eye, cos we think that it's the same as S'pore Flyer. Hahaha.
-
These are my concession in london, unlimited train and bus rides woohoo!
Their train ride is expensive de hor I tell you...explain more below..
-
Friday morning! All ready to gooooo! No...
Still need to go attend lessons :S
(Can tell that I put on weight right? I love my double chin hehe)
-
In COGSA class, the donuts here cheap like free.
5 Jam-filled donuts + 5 Custard-filled donuts = ONE pound.
One donut about SGD 0.21
-
Our super heavy lunch for the day.
I was having 三烧河粉汤:叉烧,烧肉,烧鸭,Hor fun, Super yummy soup!
Awesome la I tell you...
I think it's 6.70 pounds if I never rmb wrongly.
-
I JUST CANNOT FINISH THE NOODLES!
Siao one, I swear I eat until damn 辛苦...Cos I hate to waste food.
But I really ate like half of the hor fun already!!! :(
-
Gonna board the bus to London!
Don and veron were there to send us off kekeke ^^
-
First toilet break.
I damn brave, as you can see, I only wore a tank-top.
And my thick layer of in-built fats :D
-
The bus jounry was horrible. Serene and I can't sit together cos we were a step late and all the window seats were filled up. Sob. But I sit behind my unnie la. I can't sleep well! Cos I scared I will lean to the person beside me. It'll be best if unnie was beside me :((( Plus, 5 hours of sitting is not funny. I really hate to sit for so long. I will try to take feiji to leave plymouth when I go home!
-
My cousin! She looked really tired.. suffering from jet-lag, gotta come fetch me at 10pm, bring a 7-8kg baggage for me from singapore, send me to my hotel, return to her own hotel alone, and gotta work super early the next morning. And yea, my beautiful cousin is a SIA stewardess :D
-
The one way train ride took us 4 pounds. FOUR pounds hor. Like from Dover to City Hall.
SGD 8.20 *kill me*
-
Look! Who's there?!?! It's Chip checking out what's outside our hotel window!
-
I'm not biased, both are with me to london :)
-
Tadahhhhh!
-
Then orh orh liao lor.
-
And next day morning, we followed our plans and proceed to the train station..
-
And this station decided to have so many steps on the spiral staircase, I thought it would never end :((( [P/S I got phobia for spiral staircase]
-
Swollen face :(
-
Alighted at South Kensington Station...
And tadah!! We're at the Kensington Palace!
This place is gorgeous!!
Frankly speaking, I was abit sian when serene want come to this place.
Plus, she wasn't convincing enough that why we should visit this place, cos she also don't know what to expect, but claimed that 'seems like alot of people got go leh'. Luckily I bear a mentality in mind: Not as if I know where to go, we should just try to go everywhere! :D And now, if you guys have a chance to visit London, PLEASE GO VISIT THIS AWESOME PALACE. Why?
-
Because Alicia says so.
-
HAHAHAHAHHAHAA guai lan sia, just joking :P When you enter the palace, it's kinda cool luh, the atmosphere there is really different- abit eerie and all.. despite the outside of the palace is actually a park! With the warm morning sun... Wah I tell you, just buy London Pass and go visit kk!
-
Then we left Kensington to chiong to Buckingham!!! Wah we were rushing to see the 'change of guards'...
Saw this cute scene on the way to Buckingham, the horse was SHITTING lor! On the road. Aiyo.
-
Managed to catch ONE guard. Hahaha
-
Left for the Queen Victoria and Prince Albert Gallery. I really envy their happy marriage! Anyway cannot take photos la, so I also don't know how to describe. Hahaha.
Here we are at the Mews! Where the horses and carriages are. I think is the royal people use one. I think la, paiseh. I go gallery/ exhibition hor, I never read one. Maybe read abit la, maybe lor. LOL. This horse reminds me of unnie, cos she got a purple pullover, same colour as the horse lololololol.
-
Unnie and her favourite carriage.
-
Oh neh! My carriage come fetch me liao... cya later!
-
After these, we took train to westminster to take the Thames River tour. The tour quite lame and expensive, so hor, use london pass kk! Hahahahhhahaha.
-
Our lunch. Cheap and nice, TSK! Where to find???
Along Thames River near the entrance of Westminster pier..
2.80 pounds! Yumyumyum :DDD
-
Oh I realised I forgot to post big ben photo. But aiya nevermind la uh, it's just a clock.
-
This building is freaking cool!
-
We alighted from the tour 'ferry' at the London Tower station.
Got into the Tower of London attraction, ALOT OF PEOPLE SIAL.
Not to mention, ALOT OF TOWERS TOO SIAL.
-
It's really a pity that we don't appreciate the heritage.
匆匆忙忙就离开了,因为真的没有东西看的 leh!!!
勉强的拍了一些照片。。。
(有些真的很无聊,so 我拍 for the sake of 拍,post liao I think 也没有人会欣赏 haha)

The guy on the right side giggle leh!
So 不专业!!!
We tried to make him laugh when we were standing in front of him and take pictures, plan fail la. Cos he become smart liao, he looked up! Humph!!!
-
Uh oh. I just accidentally deleted the photo of London Bridge :/
Post tomorrow kk :)
-
After visiting the towersssss, we crossed the London Bridge and visited the London Bridge Experience and London Tomb. First part was like you gotta go in a big big big group of say 20 people, then they bring you to different rooms and tell you the gargar tales of the london bridge.
-
London Tomb is like Nightwalk. Sorry I can't comment much cos I was erm, as usual la, head face down, close eyes, wear hoodie, hands on unnie's shoulders (had to walk in single file, 6 people per team)... The french girl behind me step my havaianas like free one. Jitao come out can feel my havaianas calling for ambulance.
-
Took train back to our Bayswater, where our hotel is...Then we met up with serene's church friend who's studying/ working in london. She brought us to a really good and authentic chinese restaurant, call Hung Tao. I had 烧肉烧鸭捞面, something like our mee-kia. HAHAHA. Shiok TTM! Oh and thanks Alison for the treat :)
Us in our hotel room hehehe..
-
And guess what? London Pass gives us free admission to the London's ONLY Ice-skating rink and bowling place. WAHHHH. I have never in my life roller blade or skate, don't say Ice-skate!!! But we still went on...for 3 rounds! With people laughing at us, helping us, blocking us...
PROOF! :D
Ice-skating seems fun, I wanna learn.
I already 拜师 liao, got one 师兄 and 师姐 already. Fast hor LOL.
-
Tadah! Go back hotel count money and expenses.
-
See the white flower in the picture? It's a fake flower. I got it for 'charity'. A few women were selling these fake flowers for charity for the children, and they asked for NOTES. Nabei. 讲到就生气! Cos it's scam!!! :((( I lost 2 pounds, unnie lost 80 pence. Our other friends tio 5 and 12 pounds. 竟敢骗老娘的钱! Maybe one day I should go back london, camp there for 30minutes and stop tourists from kena-ing from them. They prolly throw me into the Thames River hahaha.
-
Will continue Day 2 of the trip maybe tomorrow. Cheers!
