anyways london.
took a night bus from edinburgh to london..
technically speaking ti should be a rather smooth ride just sleep on the bus and stuff.. AND IM REALLY REALLY good at sleeping anywhere..
but apparently on the bus which i was on, directly sitting behind me was this bunch of uni kids who just for the life of them couldnt keep their trap shut. seriously. the whole freaking ride that lasted bout 10 hrs? thereabout?
my goodness.. needless to say. wasnt a pleasant ride afterall...
reached london. went to the main train station and attempted to find my way to rani's place.
apparently british accent was so thick i cant catch shit. so when i was buying the tix the guy was like asking me qns and i was like "har?" "har?" and he was so fucking pissed and like slowly repeated it for countless no. of times.. basically asking me whether i want a return tix. =.=
so after i bot a single trip tix, he gave me some instructions as to where to take the train or something like tt.. needless to say AGAIN, i couldnt for the life of me catch what he was saying. so like.. i went to like the information counter and ask for help. and the guy also speaking in their thick british accent got so pissed with me he started talking to me in a speed that resembles that of what he would use to a retard. basically me.
wells, anyways that's not the pt. successfully gt to rani's place. met her and her frens and we head off to legoland.
ok, before legoland.. my first picture that i snapped in london... goes to show a lot.. to me at least.. :P
so anyways.. in legoland, basically everything is like build with lego. haha no surprise there.. so like woohoo.. exciting~~~
can totally see that bob the builder is of the same height, or even taller, than the kids.. cute si le la..
and they have like this miniworld series in legoland (just that their world, as far as i can see, only consist of europe and us.. no asia no africa.. too backwards for them liaos i guess) soo.. kind cool cus its has like the famous stuff of each country la..
the cyclists and stuff. (for more photos, please refer to facebook)
so then we were queuing up for the rides and stuff.. (yes rides. they have like a miniature version of like theme park rides and games and stuff... and when i said miniature i meant the kids-version.. =.= ) and there was like this area for the kids to play lego whiles the poor parents had to stand for hours so that they could squeeze into some small seats with their kids for some rides with thrill factor of.. hmmm.. nil? -.= kids.so then there was like this kid who was like building this tower.. kinda cute.. cus he keeps building and building and like the tower is taller than him la.. like i said cute.
so then after all the queuing for the rides and stuff.. we were bashed and went back.
spent like next few days at rani's place which is guildford, this quaint little town which is really pretty but i didnt really get a chance to explore which is kinda sad.. but nevertheless i was like r&r over at rani's place.. sleep, eat, read book, facebook, eat, sleep, eat, sleep. u get the point.
:P
after i went over to like central london, checked myself into some hostel and went explore.
well.. disclaimer.. im not really a "woohoo! london!" person.. so ... wells.. dun get ur expectations too high. london's not my cuppa tea with all its shopping and shopping and shopping.. :S
so like first day was wondering around.. walked to some faraway place.. and found this laid back area...
this sign that i find so amazing.. i realised it was being brought up in the oliver twist book!! woohoo...
the traffic lights for equestrians.. cool or what.. apparently its location somewhere above my head.
buckingham palace.. apparently it was like some duke's or someone else's home. but then some king at one time or another came along saw this grand place and bought it over from its original owner... added a few more wings to it.. and tadah! the new home for the crowned family.. =.= (the crowned family's original palace wasnt really much of a looker and smaller to boot.. so see nicer and bigger houses.. OF COURSE TAKE LA.. )
apparently when this flag is being flied /flew/flown (?!) it meant that the crowned personnel of that particular palace is in. and the same rules apply to all the palaces that exist in london (at least). 
some grand bridge.. tower hill bridge or something.. go figure.
inside-out building.. apparently it is to maximise interior space.. no idea how THAT is achieved tho..so like basically time in london was spent like touring around, walking around, and of course wandering into shops and all.. cus i was suppose to buy stuff for my sis.. (didnt get much tho just got me into helluva attitude.. aint made for shopping me.. i tell u.. shopping just doesnt click with me)
last day in london, wandered around as usual.. and chanced upon this area full of buskers.. kinda cool.. and nice.. apparently this group of musicians are really good/cool.. they actually could dance whilst playing their instruments and the girl actually carries her cello while playing and jumping around.. coolios la.. so like, that bout rounds up my time in london.*whew*
