23rd Solo : Sin-Lhr-Sin (London Day #2)

greetings from London! :'>


look at the bruise on my arm.
sigh... always getting bruises from work!
ugly! :[

put on the winter coat and jeggings and i'm ready to explore London!


the underground station nearest to our hotel is the Shepherd's Bush Station.


but then we had a straight bus there, so we decided to take the bus instead.

well, one of my colleagues had a few Oyster Cards, so she passed Lydia and I each one.
however, we werent sure if there was value in it.
so the 2 of us, tgt with 2 other guys who didnt have the Oyster Card took a LONDON CAB to our lunch place!


yay! taking a LONDON CAB --- checked! :'>


and of course, we arrived earlier than the rest of them.

took a walk to the lunch place.


omg, this street is filled with all the souvenir shops!

ok the next time i'm back in London, i wanna come here again!


mandatory tourist shot with the LONDON TELEPHONE BOOTH!


there were 2 restaurants that sell yummy duck rice.

this is one --- Four Seasons.
but nope, we went to another.


the street of London.


we chose Gold Mine.


this is where they serve yummy duck rice!


chinese cuisine for lunch!

serving soup first before anything else.
so cool coz their staff are asians and they speak canto!


first dish : Deep Fried Crispy Aromatic Duck with Pancakes, Spring Onions and Cucumber.

I liked it!


I really liked the duck coz the meat is tender and tasty!


this is lunch!


i liked everything! 
from their speciality duck to their tofu to their veg to their pork and calamari rings!
yumz yumz!

after lunch, we decided to take the bus to PRIMARK! *excited*

the bus stop.


they have an Oyster Card that allows us to travel around conveniently on public transports, just like our ez-link card.

coincidentally, i found a new cover which i havent used before for my S4 and omg, so apt coz i'm heading to London!


pretty right?
one of my best buys when i was at BKK!
cheap and good!
ok, now i miss BKK.

oh well, mayb next time when i get the chance to, shall plan a shopping trip to BKK.

this is Phoebe who lent me her Oyster Card :'>


super nice GS, Roy!


thank you for guiding me along!


within minutes, we arrived at PRIMARK
zomg, so excited just by looking at the big neon word just across the road, flashing straight in my face!


and so, i spent abt 3hrs or so in Primark and bought stuff for everyone.
all the mother's side cousins and my siblings!

otot coz i knew i would take a long time in there.

headed to supermarket on my own aft shopping at Primark and it was really heavy lugging 2 huge bags of loots from Primark.

to the extent i had to get a trolley and place my shopping bags in before starting my grocery shopping at the supermarket.

and this is my buys for the day.


walked back to the hotel.


Hilton London Kesington Hotel for these few nights.


this pic doesnt do justice to the bags of stuff i bought.

they're heavier than they seem!

i'm bringing back some love from London for the family!


and because there are more flavours here in London, i went to the supermarket and got more of other flavours, a couple of which for biujie to try!


and that's today.

somehow, aft lugging those bags of stuff back to the hotel, i was really tired.

goodnight everyone.

gonna sleep now and prepare for work tmr!
