having a friend over for the weekend isnt easy ler. have to play tour guide(not that i know anything much bout london. and finding out more about london is a little bit of a chore :P)
right so i ended up bringing them to
1. national science museum - i think it was quite interesting. too bad the digitalpolis was under refurbishment.
2. natural history museum - there was a motorized moving t-rex.
3. victoria and albert museum. - absolutely not my cuppa tea.
4. harrods
5. chinatown's wong kei. incidentally, i dunno where to bring them so i cincai la. but there were some incidents that irked me.
6. lillywhites < forgot the spelling liaw. couldnt find liverpool's last season jersey. too bad for the friend back in msia who ask me to find on short notice. bah :P
7. thames at nite - lotsa ppl there as well.
8. trafalgar square at nite. there were some ppl dancing in rollerskates/blades. but they were not actually dancing or practicing. just freestyle la. but it was okays.
note : 1-8 was all in one day.. i'd die of walking if this was everyday. but lucky it was only a once a year thingy.
today we went to camden ( which also incidentally a place which i would not have gone on my own as i think it's more of a touristy place like petaling st.)
and brought him to eat the pub burgers and as well as my first time trying kronenbourg extra cold ?
oh i brought him to marylebone, baker's st, on the first nite. nothing there except to visit the monopoly station.
anyways, right, here are some of my observation
1. it seems that the fashion in london now are those flats shoes that looks like chinese flats for ladies wear. dunno how to describe it la.. but i think it's the in-thing now cos everywhere i go i see ppl wearing them.
2. i dun like ppl who come and tell me just because i don't like eating out in chinese/asian places in london, they are disappointed in me cos i can't suggest a place for them to eat good chinese food. niameh.. u go ask some other friends who can la. ( i don't eat out alot. in fact, i rarely eat out cos i cook all the food i eat)
3. walking a few museums in one day is not feasible cos there's just so much to see.
4. this is the first time i've been out at nite in places where i can see weird ppl.
5. there were some drunk girls who were in those white stretch limo on friday nite, singing to us some drunk songs right near warren st when we were waiting for the bus. aiyoo.. if u wanna sing for us.. might as well ask us on the limo la ? :P
6. i am dead tired. oh yah..
us msians have a knack for saying accent as slang.
i.e wahhh speak with british slang ahh.. or speaking with american slang eh..
then when i try and explain to them it's not slang, it's ACCENT. they seem to not understand it. maybe i'm turning into the damn rigid old man. but heck.. it's bloody ACCENT. not slang. sheesh. ( well not that i speak good english but i somehow like to show off when i can .. haha. i just heard somebody tell me go and die la.. sien :P )
my friend brought for me from msia, some metal spoons they use to eat chendol or the air mata kucing with. some heong peng tapau from another friend in kl. (i bought her some cadbury snaps - somthing like pringles apparently but choco)
and as usual. he brought those maggi cup noodles.
other than that, he forgot to bring his towel home. well there's always next year for him to take it back then.
right that's all for today. tomorrow is gonna be another busy day and i figured i better post it tonite then.
