London 2

Well I'm gonna write about yesterday. I'll try to remember as much as possible since there were so many things going through. We went to Albert and Victoria's Museum in the morning which is just next to the Natural History Museum. Alot of museum stuffs there. Then we went to the Banqueting House, which is also free. Then we went again to Primark near Bond Street. I'm kinda excited talking bout Primark actually. It's a department store and the things inside are VERY CHEAP, compared to the other stores. For instance, they have thights and socks at 1£, and sunglasses at 2£. Shoes may start at 5£ etc. You get the gist. It's my 2nd visit here during my stay in London and as usual it's completely packed with girls. There's forever a loooooong queue to the fitting room and usually it's better if you can just try the cloths outside right there and then. They limit it to 8 pieces of garment once for the fitting room. Bikinis count as 2 piece. >.< Right, about the bikinis. There's no wonder why all of them loved these 2 piece swimming suits at the beach. Right here the cheapest cost round 5£ a set. That's RM25. RM25. Yes. RM25. I got one for 7£. I know I might not have the opportunity to wear it, but I don't care. It's a bikini top at RM35.

Sadly there was a little incident while I was waiting for the fitting room. A middle aged Spanish women seems to have lost her purse and she kept wailing and screaming "I've lost my purse!Please, did anyone see my purse? Please help..." . Apparently all her passport and phone and everything important are in there. She left it on the floor and then it was missing. Mom said later she saw her crying while filling out a form. That incident kinda shook me. I mean, that could've been me if I wasn't careful enough.

After shopping we were entirely exhausted. We went by a French cafe to have a light dinner, then went to watch the theather The Lion King. It was amazing. the ticket cost 52.50£ each, and its worth every cent. Not penny; worth every cent. If i were to compare with The Phantom of the Opera, they have flashier clothes and Time's running out. GTG

London

I've been in London for quite a few days, and honestly, I've taken in so many sights and sounds of this place that I absolutely have to dump some of the memories out so that I can put in new stuffs. I'll just start with today.

Mom made a breakfast of sausages n fried eggs n boiled carrots, with tea. We planned the underground route an then we're off! Our first destination is the Kensington Palace, which we have to go through Hyde Park to get there. The entrance were free because of the free admission member card Shanna gave me. Thanks so much. We saved like 24£ there. There was an event going on where's they've transformed the place and decorated to the theme of an enchanted castle. They show us different rooms gave us a quest of locating the seven princesses in there. They were actually Mary, Victoria, Margarete, Diana, Anne, and 2 more which i've forgotten. But I got them all correct. Then I had a soft ice cream for 1.70£ and we walked to Kensington High Street tube station. On the way there we passed by a chinese food takeaway. But we had our lunch there anyway. We then took a tube to South kensington then the subway to The Natural History Museum. Very interactive, VERY nice, and its free!

After that it's 6pm and we went back. I have to off now cuz it cost me 50p for half an hour of internet n i've already been here for 1 n a half hour. I didn't even get to mention the dog here at Hyde park. Well next time then. Oh and we went to Whole Foods for meringues n chocs!!
