I am dreading making this post because it will take soooo long.
Tick Tock Tick Tock.
Yupz yupz, I went to London! Miss Cynthia was very kind so I stayed at her place. =)) ( Thanks a lot!). I was so tempted to steal her comforter but I had a feeling she would run after me back to France just to get it back. Sigh. Anyway, it was real good meeting her again, especially because of her recent?? acquired cooking skills. Ahaahah..Anyway, really thanks! =)
London was a real delight. Perhaps because I was finally in a place where I could comprehend things. I could eavesdrop other’s conversation, read the signboards overhead, ask for directions with ease. Naturally, I felt very comfortable in that place. Although I was mostly traveling alone , I enjoyed being a bystander, watching daily life unfold around me, watching quietly as the world go by. I like the hustle and bustle of the city- the theatres, the free papers, the 24 hrs transportation, the chaotic streets etc etc..overall, it’s a very fine city. 5 stars!
Day 1
In the shuttle bus on the way to Victoria street to meet Miss Cynthia, I was still surrounded by the French- a young college couple snogging in the seat in front of me, oblivious to the world around them; beside me, two middle aged but rather attractive women engaging in a gossiping battle…Everytime a monument comes into sight, no matter how far, an uproar follows within split seconds The French aunties would go oooohhhh and ahhhh, or sometimes their more famous ooh la la... and there were those who had spotted it smirking while trying to show their luckless companion where the little tiny thing was, but usually poofff..and it was gone.
In the evening, I had a meal of roasted duck rice in Chinatown. The Chinatown in London may not the best in the world, but it’s still pretty amazing other than it’s a little touristy and I had the constant feeling I was an exhibit piece.
And then I went to watch a musical. Les Miserable to be exact. Marietta, during our msn conversation, was like must watch musical, must watch must watch! Voila, and so I went. And now I just can’t stop humming…
“On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone, I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me"
Pretending he's beside me

On my own,
