in my entire life, i always wondered when i would be able to come to this part of the world. have heard so many people going to london, and everywhere in the world, but i just thought, aiya i won't ever be there. so thanks to summer program, i've decided to come out of y comfort zone, and explore this part of the world that is so unfamiliar to me.
and so here i am in london. luckily jun was around to bring me to all the nice places albeit a bit rushed for every place. but neverthless, it was a great experience. it was my first time also travelling overseas alone, and walking on the streets of london alone. the weather was so good, though it gets a little chilly at night.
shall let the photos do the talking instead.
heathrow airport!=) after like 13 hours of flight...
jun and i with the london eye!
we were supposed to watch wicked, but the ticket booth person mixed up our tickets, so we had to forego it.=X
we went to stamford bridge too! too bad not liverpool huh...ironically chelsea. haha!
oh gosh jun told me what memorial this is already i still forgot.=X opposite the buckingham palace lar
this is the buckingham palace. we were there when the changing of the guards was in place. quite cool. alot of horses and there were bagpipes also. heh.
the horse was looking at us!!=P
it was quite sunny...
we saw many of such carriages
cute harrods bear

i got lost around here cos i didn't know how to get to the train station while i was exploring london on my own.
FINALLY i found the station after samantha called
this area is so much different from central london
one of the train stations with the guard
the scenery was just so beautiful (sorry you can't see much here)
my cousin's restaurant at london!=) had two of my dinners at the restaurant!=)
ok that's it. london was kind of a dream come true for me. i always told jun i wouldn't be able to meet her at london cos i had no money, but alas i was there.
one full week has passed from the day i left singapore. everything has been so great (yes including getting lost ALONE). i suppose you really learn a lot when you're alone overseas (meaning without family lar) cos it's time you really learn to be independent. time for me to really step out of my comfort zone.
