hello i'm in london now.. it's 5 am in the morning and i decided to wake up can't sleep anymore.. i left on the 27th of feb in the morning, and the flight was so so just that i thought the service wasn't very good.. haha food was ok.. anyway. i made the grave mistake of overpacking haiz. my luggage is like 31 kg! i immediately regretted it when i realised how heavy it was at home but i didn't have the good sense to repack so anyway i've brought too much clothes here. haha so when we arrived at heathrow, we immediately self owned cos we went to buy this prepaid sim card thing for 10 pounds. at first i was thinking how come so ex. and it's like 10 pounds just for the sim card, with no credit. then later we realised we could have gotten it for free in like most shops here. stupid stupid stupid. anw, we took the tube from heathrow, but our tube ended abruptly 2 stops before the place we were supposed to alight. so we had to take a bus replacement to the tube place. and i was carrying a super heavy luggage plus 2 sling bags it was worse than the load i had to carry during field camp la. much worse. so we couldn't get up the first bus cos too many people chiong for it. then we waited like 15-20 mins for the next one then many pple chiong too but we chiong the back. then during the journey the driver kept jam braking then i kept hitting everyone around me cos i didn't have anything to hold on to. then when we arrived at the station we still had to walk a good 10 mins to our apartment, dragging our luggages. when we arrived i really felt like we had just finished a 16 km route march or sth haha.
anyway, sunday i went with shawn to holy trinity brompton. as i arrived, the sound of tim hughes singing because of your love greeted me even when i was still outside the church building. loved it loved it. the worship was really great, and the band was so tight! i really love how tim hughes leads worship man. then the sermon was great too. by this guy called ken costa.. wow i really liked the service even though i had to leave early. i left early to meet my med sch friends for duck rice at bayswater it was very nice.. i tried to speak cantonese but could only say thank you haha and they didn't look terribly impressed or anything.
so after duck rice we went to a pastry shop and i ate mille feuille which is supposed to be a thousand layer cake but it was rather ordinary. then ok went to christine's apartment in st john's wood, which is a really nice neighbourhood, thrash my neighbourhood. i was telling brenda that st john's wood is like novena/newton, whereas my neighbourhood willesden green is like whampoa/balestier(no offense to those staying there haha). But it's alright it's not like i'm gonna live here or anything.
anyway my thoughts right now is that london is a great city.. i've been here once before but that was kinda negligible i went with my mep class when i was in j1 and didn't have time to do much also, and didn't have the brains to understand much also haha. but anyway i am thinking that london could be a place i wanna live in for a while. the english people have a good sense of humour i think, most at least. and the city is quite beautiful, though it has been raining. but yeah, based on my first 2 days, i could see myself living here for 6 mths or even a year. but oh well that might change with the next days we'll see. so i'm gonna prepare for hospital soon, gonna leave in about 1 hr plus..
ok bye..
