the crazy peeps are in town-part two

Ok..i have to quickly upload some photos before it get builds up n before i get to lazy to blog about it..
day one in london----well, normal tourist place, we started with Trafalga square..and then to buckingham palace to see the famous guard exchange

That bunch of crazy tourist can't for the ceremony

They waited for quite long and started to get a bit restless,started climbing about and drew attention of the police

And they waited for about 45mins and thats all they saw

Suay betul..they got a short ceremony day..hahahaa..
so they decided to just start snapping pictures around
And after lunch the freaking tour short tour guide left the tourists to go on the London eye
So they enjoyed the London eye with the exception of Kartini ( she was expecting a jerky eye ) and they ended the day with shoppingAt the end of the day,i bought an over sized bumble bee shades...cool huh?

On day two those freaking tourists( lead by the freaking tour guide thats me) went to visit Queen of England at Winsor castle.We dumped them in the castle to look for the Queen herself while we went on shopping.
After the visit we went to the Eton river side to have our lunch and abuse the birds(only jo does that)

After that we on a quest to look for Prince william school,Eton college which was suppose to be by the end of the road



Instead of Eton college,we found this dodgy school..haha..

We did find Eton college but there's nothing worth mentioning or seeing so we headed back to London
Amsterdam tommorrow.yeah....

the crazy peeps are in town!!!

Finally, after hours of waiting, they are here :>
by the time they arrived to my flat is already 6.30 pm..so- no london eye, we had a quick dinner,, and headed for river side instead, too bad is low tide, not much to see..but still, we had great time- posing!!! hahaha..tomorrow, real journey will start........wahahahaaa..

from left- me, noraidah, katini, wati n jo..

pretending to be amazed by the river side view:>

Two hours after the estimated arrival time!!!!! AND THEY ARE STILL NOT HERE!!!!!!!!!Sunday,,Heathrow is full of people!!!And they are still waiting in the line!!!! 3.56 pm!!! people!!!Hurry up!!!! Chicken is drying up!!i think London eye tonite has tobe cancelled..wont be able to make it, they will be so tired and traumatised by the crowd in Heathrow, haha..welcome to LONDON!!!!!!!!!!

THEY ARE COMING!!!THEY ARE COMING!!!WHAT AM I GONNA DO!!!!!!!
4 more hours, and they will be here..Tini ,AIda and Jo will touch down heathrow airport at 2.15 pm!!! wati gonna fetch them.. Cant wait to see them.. I am all excited now..we will spend the whole two weeks together:> gonna be a jam pack holiday for them n for us, i feel tired already..haha..we have got the whole trip planned, dun think i will have much time to update anything for this two weeks..will try:>
will try to catch some rest before they arrived, but i guess will be hard cos i am too excited:>hehe..see u guys soon:>

I had my ice skating lesson yesterday:>

Always envy those people who can do all kind of stunts on the skating rink, after yesterday lesson, oh well, i am still far from them, but at least, i can glide ALMOST gracefully on the ice..ok la, "gracefully" is over la...haha..i can glide ALMOST continuously for one round la, i guess is not a bad start..

I find the lesson quite crab, only half n hour, n they just show u the move n expect u to do it on the spot, only one trial per person, half n hour time u have to learn atleast 7-8 moves..but again, ice skating is something that u have to practice on ur own..so there we go, non stop from 7pm- 945pm..was also a free fall session- fall all you can:> i cant remember how many times i fall, cos i decided to let it all go, instead of trying hard not to fall, i just concentrate on how to shift my weight on my leg..but i do remember my first fall was really a bad one, i used my hand to break the fall, for the instant i thought i might have fractured my shoulder bone, and this girl by my side said: " oh well, dun worry, at least it still moving:>" hahaha..right, no worries, still moving, get up n continue again:>

We decided we should go n practice more often, coming winter we gonna attack the outdoor skating rink..WATCH OUT!!!

Has not been myself for the past few days, cant find a good explanation, just feel like sulking..time to sit down n do some serious thinking...working with certain people is driving me nuts, cant human being be more tolerating towards each other n have peace all the time? gossiping is a way out but too much of it drive me insane.

will be a good long holidays coming ahead, two weeks of running around and meeting up with old friends is definately something for me to look forward to:> play n play till i knock out...sounds great..haha..

going to ice skating lesson tomorrow, hope will be fine:>

mean time,while waiting for all the excitement to happen,may be i shall just crawl back to my shell n get hibernate..

3 more days.. wont be too long..

WALK WALK WALK

Atlast, the 2nd last day in cornwall, we were at Panzence, i was really looking forward for this day cos is the Grand Walking Day!!!! we started the walk from marazion, mainly is because of the st micheal mount, interesting place that suppose to be full of histories, but for me, only one thing attract me...............

to walk across to the island..

see..there is a walk way lead to the island, but when it is high tide, it will be under the sea, so u must make sure u arrived on the right time n leave at the right time..we arrived in the morning maybe about 930am, n is high tide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When is high tide, u have to take a boat across..BUT I WANNA WALK THE WALK WAY!!!!!!!!!!
KS suggested that we should continue with our walk, then come back n try our luck in the evening..SMART..:P

so, we continue our walk towards prussia cove..
really nice walk, great scenery along the way..

we passed by lots of nice farm houses by the coast, we also spend lots of time exploring beaches n rocks, busy snapping photoes, fun!!

beautiful house with brocolli farm..

CORNISH CREAM TEA
I am not really a cake person, but i must admit, this thing make me salivate..

the camel trail

The camel trail- decided to cycle on the next day, and one of the hot spot at wadebridge is the camel trail, the route is along the river side, great view..cycling wasnt too bad, had great fun..spend lots of time stopping along the way exploring the place and took lots of photoes..

Mr Ks Tai, aka S.C, all excited by the rocks from ROCK:>






































The sea port is nice and quiet, we stayed till sunset, was planning to have dinner at the restaurants nearby, but was a public holiday all full house, so we went back to the town to have dinner in a pub, nice..

thats the end of our first day, tomorrow- the camel trail..

Read a comic from LISe in the news paper yesterday, and reminded me of my self,
I dont normally read news paper, and once Yee wan told me- must read, then u will know what is happening around the world..

but if u do read, it only filled with depressing news, murdered, killing in the war, child slave, animal abuse, rape , politician's sex scandal, teenage stabbing, Man U lost their match and so on..so depresing!!!where is the motivation of reading?

and the comic ended like-

" sweetie, u r suppose to just read this n not take it in to heart"
" can anyone be so unfeeling about what happen around u?"
" well, only when u are lucky"

Is so right, only when u r lucky, u can then read it, knew it, n not take it to heart...

I know i promise my update on cornwall trip:> will come...


p.s.Received a tragic news yeaterday regarding Kaliamah's husband past away from an accident..our heart always be with u friend..stay strong for those who still love u n those who still need to be loved..

The end of my cornwall trip..soul cleansed, brain emptied,with my heart filled with gratitude...thank you..
