Doing it alone.

London day 3. Basically my last day in London. Again, there wasnt any rain! Fine weather throughout the morning. Went to the Theatre again because we wanna watch another Musical, Billy Elliot! hehe greedy bunch arent we?

i've decided last night, im gonna take the city on my own. Im not a museum-buff. and today is museum day for all 3 of them. so instead of wasting time on things i dislike, why not explore the city by my own! hehe

but first we went on a river cruise first which brought us to many sights along the river bank. we've seen almost everything already, but this time, in the day. the boat ride is around 5pounds, a 40mins ride from the London eye to the Tower Bridge.

 

After the river cruise, got down at the dock and walked across the river via the Tower Bridge. Lunch over the other side of the river! Fish & Chips the national dish of London. yummy yummy cod fish that i ordered. it wasnt that expensive considering the fact that it's a restaurant by the river. and it looked kinda posh " The Horniman at Hay's" what a name.





with lunch over, the rest of them headed for the national gallery while i just took my time, and went where ever i want to go. ended up at oxford street, haha heaven to every shopaholic. walked from Primark all the way to the other end of the street. Not rushing for anything, just a slow stroll along the busy walkway and stopped by one of the cafes in the shopping centre for afternoon tea. went to fred perry, wanted to get him a shirt but the designs are boring! just a plain collar tee for 40pounds =|
last stop was TOPSHOP! hehez it's really really hugeeeeee, 3 stories of ladies wear *eeeks* and i spent almost 2hrs on just 1 floor! the basement was filled with clothes u can find in bugis street! but they are like 10times the price! exactly the same fabric and all. haha cheat money.
didnt get away with nothing. hehez i bought 5 pairs of girl boxers from La Senza for only 12pounds. and a huggie warmer for 8 pounds in topshop! happy =)
 
 met the rest of them at Subway for dinner, and ended up with no dinner because they dont have the wrap. and the indian guy commented when he saw us, "you guys from asia look the same" i was like what?! how rude! racist statement. and he said wraps are only served for breakfast, what nonsense is that?! i had it for so many years for subway lunch n dinner. bad service

without dinner, i went to the Billy Elliot musical. i've watched the movie before a long time ago, about a boy who dreams to be a Ballerina while his family struggles to survive. vulgarities are everywhere in this musical and the accent was really strong. couldnt exactly catch some of the stuff they were saying and their british humor. prefer Mama Mia to this one.
