Was a great trip!
England was great man! Never felt so much freedom in life, quite an adventure really. Being able to go anywhere we wanted (I hope I wasn't controlling Jit too much), drinking at pubs/taverns, smoking cigars at the hotel rooftop, taking strolls in the park .. really, a bachelor's life! Tho someone was pretty lovesick. Can understand why tho, heh, since Shipei's 21st birthday is today, Jit was pretty stressed out towards the last few days of the trip. And it could be us running out on cash and him having to watch his expediture, or that there were many 'romantic' scenaries that he just started to wish for his gf to be with him. :D
Gotta admit that I wish I have a girlfriend to enjoy some of the sights and romance with me.. Jit then was just... wrong. ah.. sheep feeding, Thames boat ride, London Eye ride, dinner at Jamie Oliver's, enjoying sunset at Hyde park, shopping at Harrod's, etc. But, I wouldn't have visited Manchester if I was touring with a girl then, and thus no Old Trafford. =
Was 12 years ago when I first went to London, and I wonder when will I set foot there again. To be frank, I don't think I'll ever get sick of it. I love the weather, definately able to survive on the food, plus the people there are rather interesting too! Perhaps the only downside would be the sad fact that our currency is pathetic against the sterling pounds, and unless I'm gonna work there, earning my salary in pounds, I doubt I'll be able to afford a decent living. Did consider about studying there for a year or so, but it's really gonna burn a hole in my parents' pockets if that happens.
I wish I could just describe the trip, but that'll be too much to say. And 600 photos would be too much to post on this blog too.. not to forget another 400+ from Jit's camera. Could only upload a few nice ones. =/ After spending quite a sum on the trip, buying a couple of soccer jersies and some souvenirs, I guess what would be priceless are the photographs taken. And of course, the fond memories of this great holiday, just like every other I had.
Back to Singapore now, and back to the same old life. Wisdom tooth extraction in a couple of weeks time, and a couple of weeks of 'stay-in' at Jurong Camp again.. this time alone.. as I'm the only one who managed to siam the trip to Thailand. I think I'll get a couple of days off tho, to apply for my university at TMC. Sigh, lotsa peeps heading to SMU and I wish I could join em. Ah well, TMC's just a couple of blocks away from SMU, could meet up with Jit and Quek easily. Surely hope that I pick the right university, and more importantly, graduate with a decent result. >.<
