……………………………………………….

I’ve spent the whole weekend sorta recharging myself from the roller coaster ridden long week.It’s one of those lazy weekend where I just wanted to be a bummer at home. Did some reading, ran some errands & house chores and resting. My back is hurting a lot.

I’m hopeful of a better week coming ahead.

The Grass was definitely Greener

May 09th, 2007 | Category: UK, travel

The trip was awesome. Brings back so much memories of yesteryears. Only wished it was longer. Only wished I didn’t have to come back. :lol:

 

Almost managed to put a check on every items in our to-do and to-go list, well not all but managed to go back to most of the important places to find back those footprints which I’ve left behind 2 years ago.  Places are still the same. People have changed. I have.
 
And with all those endless walking, I could barely feel my limbs now.
Back to office today and work is crazy!
  
p/s: will talk more about the trip later
  

  
After 8 freaking years, this was my first time standing at this signature location at Tower Bridge to take a touristic picture.
  

  
Strolling along St. James Street. Feeling of being a tourist is so different.
  

  
Took this picture while waiting for the changing of guard at the Buckingham Palace. Almost my first time!
  

  

Stephannie the tourist. Teehee =) 
 

  

   

St. Katherine Dock


  

  
St. katherine dock - the sentimental place that holds so much memories… this dock is located in a more hidden area which normal tourists would normally skip. 
   

Prince Charles Theatre


  
My looooong awaited agenda…. finally watched the famous musical play “Ma Ma Mia”.
 
 

  
Shopping at Harrods… ermm more like window shopping
  

  

  
Piccadilly Circus in the heart of London
 
 

 

 
Doesn’t this place look familiar? It’s The Ritz where the late Princess Diana used to go for high tea. This place was featured in the movie Notting Hill as well.
  

  

  
Regent Park

London Here I come - feels like coming Home!

May 04th, 2007 | Category: travel

I’m absolutely thrilled! Yesssss… I’m blogging from London again!

 

Plane was delayed for a good few hours due to some technical problems which they’ve attempted twice to take off but failed miserably; but they changed the aircraft and the 13 hours flight went by very smoothly albeit the toddler in front of us wasn’t tired of crying throughout the journey.
 
Barely rested. We touched down in Heathrow only around 10pm and by the time we reached Euston, it was already 11pm. Dinner with Claire and Justin had to cancel - there goes my Belgo’s mussel! :( *but it still didn’t deter my excitement level*
 
Had breakfast with Bryan and his wife. Going to bring them to Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of guards and after that, it’s shopping time for me! *wink wink*
 
Calling Oxford Street, Regent Street, Bond Street to attention!
 
Here I come!
 

 
Finally at Heathrow!!!
 

 
Alright guys, more updates later!
