Hittin' London Town

Blogging to you live from London wahey! I'm currently sitting snug under Lynn's awesome bloodred-brightred-satsumaorange-sunflowerorange duvet. The babe herself's engrossed in yet another game of sudoku, and we're busybusy singin' along to the boyband hits of our primary cacatness of so long ago.

"A foggy daayyy... in London townn..."

Saturday's coach journey was uneventful, if rather prolonged due to lousy traffic coming out of London. Navigated my way to Shepherd's Bush by bus because the Central Line was closed, and settled in to a nice dinner of sweet-and-sour chicken with peas and rice. After a quick shower we headed out to Fabric, this apparently really "happening" club with Sophia and Sanna. Sophia is Apui's friend from Kuching who's doing her AS somewhere near London, and Sanna's a Pakistani girl living in Bangsar going to the same A Levels college.

Goodness - Lynn and I were proper "flirty aunties" for the night, the rest of the group having an average age of about 16-and-a-half. LOL. The boys were cute but rather young and inexperienced clubbers, the music incessant techno throughout the three dancefloors and the entrance/drinks price skyhigh compared to ole Mancunia. Lynn and I abandoned the group about halfway through the night and from then onwards had a ball of a time shakin to the beats.... Haha, the idea of us two classical musicians actually have a great time in a techno club...

Verdict? Better stick to my northern "kampung "where clubbing's concerned. At least the unwanted attention's from dodgy inebriated students (as Phing can attest from last Thurs *wink*) instead of even dodgier men possibly on E.

But other than that, London rocks! Oh man, the shopping's greaaatttt. We get the same variety of shops in Manchester but because of the larger amount of space in London ya do get the full range of clothes, accessories, trinkets etc.

Today (Sunday) was spent sleeping off the previous night's debauchery, followed by a shopping spree. Meeting up with Soph and Sanna in Leicester Sq, I suddenly spotted Yvonne (from Wells) who was on her way to meet Eun-Jung. The square itself was quite crowded with the usual kaypoh tourists and locals craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the fabulously beautiful at the premiere of Poseidon. Had dinner with the girls and Ian at a nice posh Jap place, followed by a cocktail at the nearby Crescent restaurant-bar.
