ok. finally blogging after the trip to uk. oh no. this is so going to take forever. =)
day one*
let's see, it was pretty much spent on the plane. encountered a couple of turbulences. it was thrilling but the thought of the plane possibly crashing thx to it was no good. most of the food on the plane was nice though. =) for the long haul flight to england, drey din gt the alle seat. this big burly guy came up to us and said "i think that's my seat" and we din dare to request if he would switch seats with us. o well. i slept soon after the flight to england started but woke up to fine audrey sleeping. she ordered sum beef thingy fer supper. i took a few bites of it but it wasnt too appetizing. the journey wasnt all that boring since there was inflight entertainment. i was watchign a bit of every movie and slept and woke up and watched summre. enough about that.
day two*
we arrived at heathrow airport and the climate there is nice and cool. we visited...winchester first. took a walk when some poet called John Keats(or was it james keats) had once taken when he wrote some poem. went to see the place jane austen died and where she was burried, aka. winchester church. ate sandwiches there. i must sae that the falvours were weird. they had to add in things like pickles or corn. went to bath where we walked a lot and learnt more about jane austen, who, by the way, is a writer. that night, me, drey, xiuru, sharon, jas and tiff shared one room. we fixed e window, that refused to stay open, for better ventilation. took a nice bath and went to walk around the hostel, taking pictures. oh ya! had a bit of pool(the one with sticks and balls) at the games room.
day three*
awaken by jasmin who was suffering from jetlag. decided to wake up. in the end i got a drink and plopped back to sleep. heh. imma pigg. anyway, we had some breakfast whereby our not so well-liked tour guide was making a stupid fuss to the chef or the guy in charge about us being off scedule. not like the chef could do anything about it. so we drove to strafford. had a nice guided tour on william shakespear and those houses that ppl related to him had stayed in. went to his birthplace, which...i guess is being kept in a pretty good condition though the creaking of the wooden floorboards made it sound lyk it was gna collapse. we were then given time to SHOP. hah. that was crazy. =) found a super nice shop named claire's. yippee. anyway, we had to run back to meet everyone else. had supposedly the best fish and chips. sat on the grass and eat. twas bad. not the grass but the fish. it was bland. no ketchup. no chilli. and the fork was small. so much for the best fish and chips. then drove on the see Anne Hathaway's cottage. (she's shakespear's wife btw.) her cottage is really pretty. =) it had soo many flowers in the garden and it was all colourful. took loadsa pics. the cottage has a shortt ceiling. yep. short. so i guess i could conclude ppl laz time werent vry tall. we didn't make it on time to visit manchester mega store/souvenir shop. took some pictures outside and it was really freezing. we moved into the hostel then and it was pretty good. the beds were pretty werid. it was a 3bunk bed. yea. so instead of 2, 3 could sleep. mi and sharon were to sleep at the lowest bunks and we were reluctant. sharon and mi ended up sleeping on the floor. rowell came over to play taidee with us and we finally slept at 2am perhaps. yepp, we broke the curfew. and got away with it. =) o wait. forgot to mention then rowell and zoel were competing pool against english guys who calimed that singaporeans cant plae pool and think that we are ignorant retards, proven from his silly attempt and trying to convince us that his friend is david beckham's son. but in a wae, it was slightly entertaining watching them scold f*** lyk it was a normal daily language while it's taboo to some people.
day four*
went to the lake district. saw...lakes? aclt i tink i onli rmbed seeing one big lake. was sleeping most of the time. hmm...went to William wordsworth house. his bigggg garden is bigg and pretty. took lots of photo there again. n i forgot to take my cam down again. im sucha genius k. =( went to visit his house and everything. we then drove to this place called grasmere to see his grave. yepp. went to some gingerbread place and tried gingerbread. i din lyk it so din buy any. we were given some shopping time but there wasn't much to buy so we just went back to the coach after popping by all the shops. no hurry there. then went to the hotel. it was decent looking but the food was terriblee. the beek and rice were both hardd. >< thankfully, we all had instant noodles. tt nite, we wanted to all sleep over except tiffany who wanted the comfort of having one room to herself. so anyway, we all moved a matteress to mi and drey's room. so mi drey jas xiuru and sharon could all sleep in one room. we sneaked out to play pool cuz we thot teachers sleeped liao. in e end gt sent baq 2 e bedrooms while daniel dey all gt into sum sort of trouble wif mr ken. in our rm we played daidee. den sleep. mi sharon and xiuru on the queen size bed. dey sae i took up the most space lehhz. xiuru had no space to move. haha. sorrryy. =P o wait. i forgot something again. lunch was skones and english tea. english tea taste like tea. skone were pretty nice. sharon lyked the jam. -_- just so u noe, i found out she lyks pasta and strawberry and that's all? hah. picky eater.
day five
we drove to haworth and visted the bronte's parsonage. (charlotte and emily bronte are writers.) it's freezing there k. cuz it was up sum kinda hill i tink. bleahh. we den went to york. it's by far the best place to shop i tink. bought stuffies. had happy meal for lunch cuz we din wna watse tym goin 2 find other food. went to claire's and shopped at many other shops. at the last min we saw this super nice shop called new look bt din manage to haf enuf tym 2 buy anything. anyway, we met outside the york minster. was quite satisfied with our purchases until mr huda flaunted the forever friends bear pencil case that she bought for one pound which is almost three sing dollars. =( anyway, we had a self guided tour in the minster itself. soon, it was time for the york ghost tour. the atmosphere wasn't quite there since it was bright. cuz e sunset at uk is 8.30pm. but anyway the tour guide was a super duper good story teller. =) went for dinner at an english pub. we had the upstairs place all to ourselves. not long after we settled down, we heard cheers from downstairs. meaning that england had scored for the match against switzerland wich was going on. i had beef pie wich was small chunks of beek and a pie. was a bit salty but better than the last beef i ate at the hotel. on the trip to the hotel, eileen told ghost stories. i onli heard the first one abt words appearing on the condensation on the mirror and decided to blast my discman instead of getting freaked out. but anyway, the hotel was freaky all the same. mi and drey were so suay 2 b frm different wings frm jas sharon xiuru and tiff. den it's lyk, evn in our wing rite, we were isolated frm the rest of the ppl in that wing and that level cuz of a fire door. ugh. total creepiness. and a room had lyk so mani mirrors. one behind the door somemore. we wanted change rm teachers dun allow. den dey let us haf mutual swap. so we all went to open mi and drey's room so we can move our lugagge over. the door creaked and we were freaked out and screamed. n the end mrs vora helped us to open the door. xiuru cried and that convinced the teachers that they should allow us to bunk 3 in a room. yea. so anyway the guys did cum ova and tok 2 us a while. in the end we went to our respective rooms. mi jas and sharon. drey tiff and xiuru. sharon bathed first. jas nv plucked up the courage to. i was vry scared when bathing so i made it a fast one. =P wich prob wasnt all that fast. afta tt, mi and sharon thot jas huw to plae daidee. tt kept us awake till 1.30am when we really cannot tahan den went to sleep.
day six
left that awful hotel. drove to cambridge and had a tour of it all. real big and i wldnt mind studyin there. we were den driven to london. it's vry different frm all the countryside cities we've visited. there was graffiti on evry wall. we went to the hotel and it totally rocks. the room is huge i guess. each person gets a big bed. =) there wasnt any pool so we ended up building some kind of a house thingy out of lego. a bit childish bt twas fun. =) we den drove off and sothe coach dropped us off at piccadily circus to give us about half and hour to shop. wasnt really enough and in the end just went to claire's. we then went to a place at chinatown and ate chinese food there. it wasn't the best but it'll pass. the last stop of the day was to watch phantom of the opera. that was simply the best! i loved it completely. at the same time, i'm guilty to say that i dozed off a bit during the show. thankfully, tiffcany woke me up so i din miss a really touching scene. it's a must watch! ok. then it was back to the hotel. we decided to sleep in seperate rooms for the nite and juz enjoy the luxury and comfort of not having to squeeze.
day seven*
the beds must have been too comfortable. drey woke up when the morning call came at 7am but went back to sleep. i din evn wake up at all. im a heavy sleeper i noe. =P so anyway, at abt 7.55am sharon xiuru tiff and jas were knocking on our door and drey woke up to open the door, shaking me up before she opened the door. i would have just gone right back to sleep if i din hear sum1 sae tt it was 7.55am. so we juz chionged and though we din reach there on time (8am), we were that late. breakfast was pretty good. =) the hotel just rocks. we went to the british museum. me and tiffiany toured around a lot. and took pics. unfortunately, right now i can hardly identify most of them. =) then it was the backstage tour of the theatre royal. twas good. why? becase the tourguides rock. though it was kinda freaky when dey were changing shifts and the other tour guide would pop out frm no where. gave mi quite a scare. we were allowed to go fer lunch on our own and i bought crepes. it tasted quite good. we were given 3 hours or so to shop. at this place called covent garden. which has nothing much at all. haizzz. in the end din buy much stuff. =( so disappointing. afta tt we went to watch the complete works of shakespear. damn funny! hahaha. o ya, den the tour guide announced that the shopping trip at oxford street was canceled and that just broke my heart cuz i still had so much money left and cant spend and i hvn bought enuf stuff. hmph. that night was the last night in england so we all went ova to xiuru's room to plae. heh. tiff ended up sleeping and not joining us. jas went off to find some seniors. the guys dropped by for a while but decided dey were too tired to stae any longer. in the end, mi and drey slept in xiuru's room for that night.
day eight*
last day ever! yikes. visted the globe theatre. i wldnt mind watching a show there. =)then went on a city tour. slept a bit on the bus. oh no. i tink i missed the chnaging guards session or sth. hmwk. went ot take photos at big ben, tower bridge and buckingham palace. btw, if i cld haf things my way i wld marry prince william. bt let's not sidetrack. we had chinese food for lunch. den went to buy chocolates at the super market. that was the end of everything as we drove to the airport. oh no. i feel so sad thinking abt it nuw. *shrugs no idea why but i really really really liked it there. anyway, the airport doesn't have much shopping. we were once again cheated by the great tour guide. ahh well. the plane frm london to hongkong felt shorter than the plane from hongkong to london but that could be because we were all tired and sleeping. i was sitting beside sharon. xiuru claims that sharon was sleeping on my head but that wld mean tt i was so short tt my shoulder wld haf been too low for her. and tt wld nt b true. i tink it was juz an illusion. we went disney store during the transit at hongkong and i bought some stuffies there. then boarded the plan back to singapore. i sat beside cindy this time. hmm. din sleep at all during the ride. was watching show and eating i tink. lala. and then i landed in singapore. collected my baggages. stepped out and saw my bro waving widely. -_- my cousins james and joyce were there too. =) so was my aunt. my dad and mum came too. hah. still miss uk bt guess it aint tt baq being baq hum.
that's the end of my 9 day trip. i really wished that it had been longer. the country is real pretty. =) sighh. hopefully i might get to further my studies there o

hmm...let's recap on what's been happening.
past few days have been quite a breeze. accomplished a couple of hmwk. left cl and eng. =D though chem cannot be considered complete since i onli did lil bit of section a and b. i find the rest of the questions too difficult.
watched harry potter on saturday night with my cousins. the show....was a lil disappointing? dey really seemed to have cut a lot...juz feels empty. but the effects was as good as ever. the main focus of the show seems to be at the ending part? the revealing of the truth abt sirrus and all? but in the book there is a proper distribution of "introduction", "middle" and "end". hah. bleah. i liked it though. would lyk to watch it again so i can truly appreciate the movie enuf n sae tt it rocks. the cast was great! (apart from albus dumbledore cuz i really liked the old one better. he had...the kinda calmness that a headmaster should possess) but anyway, the cast was great. draco was...cute. harry looked gd too =). and hermonie was pretty. hah. o well. i went to play at the arcade after the movie.
sunday...did sum hmwk. watched tv. slacked arnd. my cousins came over to my house so we just fooled around a lil.
monday...met minsuan at about 1pm at bugis and went to buy shiyi's birthday present. she came by at 2pm and we passed it to her. =) we hung arnd the arcade for a while. was a kiddie one...but had fun. den went sakae fer lunch. talked alot. went to the cinema outside dere, sat arnd and talked more. afta tt, i went to downtown east to find my family n cousins n all. dey were at the wild wild wet. =) seemed like dey had fun. too bad i cldnt make it. =( yep. so we had dinner there n went to the arcade. hah.
2dae...hmmm...i went to buy sum stuffies and change money fer going to UK. den went for doctor's appointment. waited quite long, as usual. got back home and watched tv n nuw im on the com, surfing through ppl's blog.

Friday, June 4
hmm...let's start with...tuesday. mr lu made us go back to school to discuss about cip. pretty redundant if u ask me. i would have wasterd one hour of travelling time to listen to 40mins of nothing much as well as getting booked by him cuz of sling bag. i should haf known betta den to have brought it. hah. anyway, the dae b4, i already told mi eds graduation party members lyk yvonne, liqin n yeetien to meet at school at 11pm. but in the end only yvonne came. afta mr ku's meeting, i went to join the other eds group (claire, mathew, alistair, wailumn, muthu, zhangfan). yep. so juz crap arnd wif dem. den when yvonne finally arrived at 11++pm, we ended up making our wae to kfc. =D had sum nice gossipy session while sharing 1 cup of drink since dere was free refill. hah. den we all decided to go mathew's hse. zhangfan and alistair din go though. at matt's hse, we played mahjong n i was a beginnner. a noisy one i guess. i was asking nonstop, "wad tile shld i throw? shld i take tt tile?" etc. =D so i decided to shutup in the end, and go watch love actually. i must sae tt it was a gd show. we had the uncensored version btw, so dere was juz a lil commotion when it came to the *coughs* parts. bt it was a nice sweet show. really sweet. =) yepyep. so tt was the end of a supa dupa nice dae. told ya, eds makes mi happy. =)
wed was a nothing dae. juz stayed at hum feeling bored since the tv's gt nothing on. 40+ channels n nothing decent to watch. pfft.
thurs, wich was yest. we went to sch fer the uk briefing. except it really wasn't brief. we spent a gd 2hrs watching dis vcd on the first 19yrs of life of william shakespear. den we were told our grp members. im qte happy wif the grping. =) den we were allowed to go fer lunch n come baq afterwards to watch the last 2 cds. except, mi, drey, dan, daryl n abel ended up going old airport rd for lunch n off to abel's hse. dere, we juz slacked abt n wasted e whole afternoon.
2dae, i went out wif miss fiona. met her at 3++pm. i needed to buy a jacket n waterbottle. i muz admit i was quite fussy. sum jackets were too thick n others too thin and some were way out of my budget. i lyked one at roxy but dere wasn't a bigger size. ended up wif a dark blue one frm esprit wich wasn't tt nice bt pretty alright. yep. n a waterbottle frm converse. din lyk it all that much either bt it's cheaper den one frm sigg. yepz. we ate rosti n pizza at marche fer dinner. den went to sit arnd at starbucks b4 goin hum. pretty good dae i muz sae. n guess wad? fiona din buy a single thing despite tryin on a million clothes. guess she was kinda disappointed. cheerups. =)
