Reached victoria station( yes another station) 7 am. but that's just the train station. the coach station is behind that train station depending on how u look at it.

i asked him waht was it.. he said it was a nice symbol.
erm.. so i took it..

somebody enlighten me on what is that ?
anyways, i stuck on a pair of headfones on the nokia. and went to take a nap.
easier than entertaining him.
and then ahhh.. i hear him calling me.. hey hey.. take a picture take a picture ..
i said huh ? he pointed to a mosque along the way.. ask me to take.. saying it was a nice picture.. and told me that it wasnt a mosque.. it was a temple.
that does it.. i said thank you politely and then made sure i stuffed my ears with enough tissues and headphones so i couldnt hear anything . shut my eyes.. and went on taking a nap.. he didnt disturb me after that.
Reached bristol about 1030am.
asked the tourist info counter where to take bus to clarks. they say 376/375 to yeowvil. i think. so walked to the bus stop. took the bus down to clarks. arrived there. walked around in a rush as i do not have enough time to look at all the shops. my mistake.
hehe anyways, finished up at about 330pm. took the bus back to bristol. rode the megabus ( damn hot) all the way back to london at 6pm. saw the guy again. sat on the bottom deck. didnt want to see him again. arrived back in victoria at 8.40pm.
took dinner at CCK buffet china town.

okies. basic summary.
bus london to bristol by megabus cost: £2.50 ( 1 pound one way and 50p booking fee) Time taken to travel : 2.5 hours one way.
from bristol to clarks return : £6.50 ( £3.25 one way) bus stop is after grey friars in bristol. route number 376. time taken to travel : 1.5 hours.
if in doubt walk along the st. to find the tourist centre. there were really helpful.
it seemed like bristol was living at a slower pace than london. but nice nonetheless.
spent :
trimmer. £24
t shirt : £12
some gifts: £2
that's all :P
quite easy to go therre.. but time consuming. i will try to do an overniter next time if i go somewhere far by bus..

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other
