London Revisited!!

I just watched V for Vendetta at Prikala Airport(Tampere) while waiting for my flight to London(how apt!) and bollocks, be damned to those who do not like it! haha i cant believe jiali n mun had to wait for 1 wk before watching part b of this show which i sent them! General overview is that it is a smashing good show, the language and dialogue are simply titillating, with references to macbeth and olden english plays.. I'm sure those who know me will know how bombastic words simply make me orgase.. and when they are stringed in as sentence.. Vicissitudes, voracious, vociferous.. in any case, natalie portman is simply ravishing(brains n beauty n guts!) The ending was kinda expected esp since i alr read some chio gal blog that big ben was going to be blown up.. will ya conform to society or r u willing to discover who u realli are.. mmmmz

oh remember remember the 19th of May.. the day i will leave finland for sg, its going to be really sad.. but before tat, i m yet to update on my trip to dublin and to denmark and also spring in helsinki(exam time and sports!).. But here i m in london.. and boy am i being extravagant on my last trip in europe! Just look at the meals i have been having the past 2 days!

Me in wenbin n zhenhao house for the night! Woon kwong was visiting london for his one mth stint of vip on tat day too!

And then us in this japanese restaurant mitako in chinatown for a HUGE portion of katsu don in curry/teriyaki sauce (6.50P)


And then the meal at Nandos! wif joo cindy sara n swep

and we went to harrods which was SUPER big and went toy section to look at cute cute toys and harrods tea n biscuits..
And not forgetting our 14P dim sum lunch @ China experience which grace recommended. Realli good! ate the ja jian mian or dunno wat mian tat jen say nice..then she keep making fun of my poor knowledge in chinese culture.. all the different kinds of chinese tea she so pro.. n the mian also..

As ya can see, we ordered siew mai, peking ravioli in chilli sauce which tasted like chee chong fun, la mian, and crispy seafood and egg rolls.. we both simultaneously said this roll no egg and i said this roll no seafood.. diaoz.. so we concluded that one roll is crispy egg and one roll is crispy seafood..somehow eva will be better at jiao ing dim sum.. cos i dunno all the chinese names.. i forgot to order har gao lor. (after tat, she still laff at my 安平泰国 cos i pronouced it the wrong way on the china town sign.. argh) but it was pretty dumb indeed .. cos must read right from left..

Dinner was THE FAMOUS BAYSWATER ROAST DUCK... IT IS SUPER NICE LA.. really delicious.. go london have to try.. the sauce is realli imba.. but a bit salty tho', and we also ordered lamb briskets.. Four Seasons duck realli live up to its name.. but 23.20 P la.. sob sob

. and the photo whoring at starbucks wif our coffee n creme while waiting for cindy n the rest to arrive.. fyi cindy's flight was delayed one day cos British airways had overwhelming demand.. so to compensate, she was given one nite stay in Hilton wif meals plus 25o P .. damn good la.. 750 sgd to spend for one day of inconvenience.. altho poor joo had to wait like a fool in the airport ..




And at night, the much hyped about phantom of the opera held at the her majesty theatre! The set changes were fantastic, voices were great, actresses were ugly.. carlotta was this fat and ugly woman but her soprano voice was very good! at least christine daae had the cutesy voice .. but the songs were so familiar.. but then we realli paid too much ifeel, cos we were sitting in the stall seats.. Price withheld... too sad to say le.. nvr watching any more musicals this year liao..

In short, places covered during this 2nd trip: British library, BT tower, THE GLORIOUS FOOD, POTO, Oxford Street, Harrods, Hyde Park, Covent Garden(which is the uk version of lau pa sat n they had a malaysia week theme there when we went there too! so qiao!), probably gg camden and cambridge later on today.. later also got champ league final.. woots .. gg wif wb n zh n de whole dota gang to british pub to watch probably
