Back from London!

WHAT A WEEKEND! and i've finally finally been to London. It's like one of the cities everyone dreams of visiting since young. all of modern history, power, influence centred around that city (and some others)!

and there's really no better way to visit London than to stay in the company of close friends! thanks again hyan & xiuming (and jianli) for putting us up at your place. it was really lovely meeting u girls again in uk (weird considering the transposing of ties and familiarity to a foreign context), having simple yet thoroughly enjoyable meals with u two (hope u two enjoyed the lunch as much as i enjoyed cooking it [tog w/ yeemeng] for you two)!

for ahmad and shaun, you two have got to try clubbing in London! it's immensely fun and full of energy! totally opposed to the stale and mundane undertones of clubbing in singapore. the intense atmosphere outside the clubs are attest to the magnified hype within the clubs. short of giving way to hyperbole, pure energy just intoxicating you not only with the sights and sounds of the places, but with the uninhibited people whose defences don't border on paranoia and self-flattery! though there is a high tendency you might mourn the demise of your cash. haha!

and it was really nice exploring london with amanda as our guide! thanks again girl! it was really nice of u to come out on such short, no...IMMEDIATE notice!!! i half expected the reply to my facebook msg to come a couple days later saying 'so sorry we couldn't meet! call me next time u're down in london!' but no! the sms came the next morning! cheers! it was a really enjoyable afternoon talking over lunch and walking about the famous sights in town! looking forward to seeing u next time i'm in town again, and at the KILLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

returning to warwick does curtail a sense of anti-climax to the extremely eventful weekend. had to force myself to pick up my bags and hug hyan goodbye (regretably i didn't know xm was rushing home to say goodbye!). but it's really whet my appetite my girlfriends...i'll be returning to London for west end, more chanel lamp posts, rat burgers, BREATHTAKING ARCHITECTURE, friendly bus drivers who position buses nicely by the side of the church for a photo and so much much much more. really hope i'll meet more friends then. jo, abiel, chonglin etc etc. i can't wait! for now, i'll just leave u guys with photos from this trip. cheers!
