london!!

at last! i'm finally writing about my london trip.. the internet's getting better i think.. the process of uploading my pics was ARGH!! flickr kept failing and when i finally got my pics up on it, i realised i can only upload 200 in a free flickr account.. 200 out of the 1k of photos; it was a real hard time trying to pick out the best to put up..

besides the photos in flickr, i've edited quite alot(63 in total!) of them and gonna post them here! (my apologies if my blog's loading even more slower now)

before i start.. alot of people has been asking me why i got the chance to go to london, well, my dad unbelievably won this tiger beer contest which the prize was a 3 days trip(plus the LONG flight journey, it was 5 days in all) to london on business class flight, stay in 5 star hotel and allowance of USD1.5k!..



we reached the airport super early lah, was a 2am flight and we were already at the airport at 11pm.. fabian, ken & shuhui came to send me off.. :)


that's the both of us looking happy :D


and they're outside when we proceed to the lounge!


the lounge was very cool.. they had food, gaming area, massage chairs area, internet access coms, most important of all, the atmosphere was damn classy..

the flight was around 14 hours in total(singapore to doha, then transit to london)

that's me enjoying the flight!


i forgot this was a sunset or a sunrise.. but heck! nice can liao!


we had limousine transport from the airport to the hotel!

the langham hotel!






the stitched up(made from 3 pics) view from my hotel room


an artistic photo of the flowers in my room:



and i was so in love with the walls in the hotel!




whoever said angmoh burgers are bigger should be shot to death.. the burgers are of the same size, or better yet, smaller!

but at least they have yummy stuff!



talk about crazy, eating ice cream at 0°C! but it was worth it.. the orange flavored mcflurry with chocolate sticks, YUMMY!

the activity for day 1 was to watch a musical called Mamma Mia! at first i thought it was a boring play, but it was so freaking nice! i'm now a fan of abba songs already!



the ticket cost S$156!! tiger beer must be damn rich..



day 2 was all around london!


london was experiencing very bad fog when we were there..






me looking annoyed with the fog



































day 3 was shopping!!!


topshop there is huge! 3 levels in all..

and the mission of the day was to look for the fred perry shop!








FOUND IT! :)

but they didn't had what i want.. so we went to another fred perry boutique about 10 mins walk away..





even though i didn't found the bag that i wanted, i bought a leather skinny tie(£40) and a brown jacket(£60), totaling about S$300..















my happy dad behind me :D (pardon me, my hair sucks in this pic)


apple london





limousine to pick us up the next day to the airport!




last minute shopping at london airport





the hood of my jacket that i never used.. 'cos i don't wanna mess up my hair! :P



worst part of the long flight journey? the food! not because they're not nice, but there's too much already!

kept eating till i almost want to puke..



that's all i'm blogging about my trip! for more pictures, you can go to my flickr album OR you can simply go to the last pic in there to see ALL MY SHOPPING!! (mouse over the pic to see description of each item)
