London-ING!!!
finally got to london, its one of the places that i always wanted to visit.. cos its the capital of England, home of so many things... plays, football, industrial revolution and harry potter...
its good to do flight with people you are comfortable with... james is like a bro to me.. May.. my sny.. is doing her 1st and 2nd solo with me... before london was jakarta nightstop... simple and relax... fever threatened to derail my london.. luckily 2 panadols solved the problem for me and i am up and away again. with Jill and yunshan suppose to meet me in london.
with plans to visit the famous places in london and watching an epl match... tt kept me going excited throughout the whole flight and of course with very good colleagues. met Jill for breakfast at some muffin place for english style breakfast... before she brought me ard... visited buckingham palace, but it wasnt open for visitint cos its change of guards. after that visited Big Ben and London Eye.. time wasnt on our side as we have to rush down to seven sisters station to try to get tickets for Tottenham vs Sunderland. To no avail as tickets were all sold out. May and James wanted to follow us but they had they own plans before that... phone system was a bit screwed up so din manage to contact them, by the time James came it was halftime and he din manage to get in.. For us, we bought tix in the black market at a whooping 50 pounds... but since its my first epl match.. i dun really mind its still within the price i am willing to pay.. match was pretty exciting, the atmosphere electric, pitch was small thou.. not that wat we saw on tv where it seem gigantic... camera trick i guess.. even the players dun look as pro as they shud be.. sunderland got plenty of heart and should have gotten something from the game as they totally outplayed spurs in the 2nd half, plus a few bad calls against them... tough luck guys... they went down 2-0
after the match... hooliganism at its best when abuse was hurled and objects were thrown at each other between the 2 sets of fans outside the stadium. good experience for me.. haha.. rushed down to leicester square to meet yunshan and steven for dinner, korean food was on the menu and it was a treat from steven cos i brought stuff all the way for yunshan. after dinner was more sightseeing as they brought me to walk ard leicester square and piccadilly circus, trafulgar square before heading down to big ben, river thames and london eye again. Coffee by the river was refreshing.. something i quite enjoy... they wanted to bring me to cambridge the next time i come over.. i dun mind an eye opener...
suppose to meet jill for visiting tower of london and tower bridge and borough market... but time was tight she can only meet in the afternoon and i had to leave at 6pm.. so that was postponed... its mainly a touch and go affair.. but i will be back for more of london the next time i come... mission unaccomplished thou... i think stonehenge and a more thorough visiting and watching a play is on the menu the next time i visit london.
can't wait!!!!
