Good Morning or Good Night

It's 9:30pm now, but it's 4:30am in Singapore. Orientation started today, but it wasn't much really. Just got back from dinner and a crazy foozeball session with the nice nice Singaporean friends who stay in this hall too, and I think it's time for a blog entry :)

Let's start from the time I said goodbye... Well my awesome church friends decided to get me a really pretty sunflower and I guess it served it's purpose because I couldn't help smiling every time I saw it :) My mother somehow found it hilarious that my friends would give me a flower, and she laughed even more when I insisted on bringing it on the plane with me! I was leaving a trail of yellow petals behind me >.<

I stuck it into the seat pocket in front of me, which was fine for awhile but not when the food was served! So it ended up on the floor under my chair and I was a little doubtful about whether it could actually survive the journey to London!

But it did! Here it is, well enough despite looking a little disheveled.

I reached my room early in the morning.. explored the place and unpacked a little and that it was off to explore my "territory" for the next 3 years!

Lots of red phone booths around...

And red buses... SOYINKA!!!

People stand on the RIGHT instead of on the left on the escalators in London. I kept forgetting and accidently blocking the way of busy business men rushing up the escalators :/ A lot of things are the other way round here in London, like in the lift the open and close buttons are on the wrong side, so I keep accidently closing the doors on people. Oops!

My first and I'm sure not the last plate of fish and chips in London. It tasted pretty good! Nothing compared to steamboat buffet at bugis or newton food centre though.

One of my school's buildings. The buildings here in London are somehow so much nicer to look at than the buildings in Singapore!

Playing in Regent Park with my mum's friend's son. The parks in London are so awesome, I just love how I can sit on the grass without it being muddy and gross. No wonder Enid Blyton and all are always writing about kids having lovely picnics in the sunshine.

Still in Regent Park, with my mother and cousin. I love the park!

And London's weather is just wonderful, because the choice of clothes is increased by a whole lot! Suddenly I can layer clothes and wear long sleeves without sweating like a pig. And speaking of pigs, Chunkit and Jiaxin, guess what I found!!

It's Percy Pig's children and wife! According to the sign, Penny pig is supposed to be limited edition too. I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw these.

Well it's getting late and I think I shall go shower, do QT and be off to bed. I'll blog again soon. Leave me a tag, I miss all of you a lot!
