A Real Life Fiyero, Please And Thank You!

so yup, i'm baaaack.
it was a pretty great 6 weeks,
but i'm itching to start school again
and Semester 2 starts tomorrow
(isn't it quick?!) but definitely not
looking forward to the 9-5 daily classes.

anyways, LONDON TRIP #3!


that's me posing with our dinner (:
Ems and I were attempting to make fajitas.

for this trip, i:

1. shared a bed with a complete stranger.
(haha it's not what you think!)
2. read 7 books in 5 days (:
3. got stopped for overweight luggage *AGAIN*.
(seriously, i really don't know what i was carrying!)
4. filled my shopping quota for the year!
5. had the awkwardest moment of my life.
6. watched my first movie since i left!
(it was Hairspray and it was gooood.
yes i know, i am very outdated)


me using my brute force to pull the meat
of a chicken off the bone (:

and of course, as i have been raving about
for the last few days, watched WICKED.
and until now, i am still Youtube-ing
Wicked videos nonstop.

yes, it is *that* good.
sorry for rambling on and on about it.


Ems and I in our coincidental all-brown PJs.

I basically stayed with Ems
the whole of this week (thanks honey!)
to save transport money and visited
places that I missed on the first trip.
and of course, catch up with gossip (:

but yeah, it was just so nice spending
time with one of TheTen and it felt
like we were on one of our trips again (:


the Apollo Victoria Theatre where Wicked was shown.

so basically we went cheapWickedtickets hunting,
(which was very successful cause we paid
one third of the price and sat super front)
flea market walking in Camden Town
where there were loads of scary goth
people walking around with super
tall black mohawks and crazy eyeliner,
and a Hillsong London service.

pretty cool!


the backdrop of Wicked which i sneakily
snapped a photo of (:
it's a map of Oz!

so this time, in order to avoid all the airport drama
i decided to go 4 hours earlier just in case.
well, i had to take the train and a bus
just to get to the airport so i made sure
i left super early in case there was a delay somewhere.

but thank God, i reached on time...
then the WHOLE overweight thing started again.
see right, i've been on three flights
from London-Belfast so far, and on
EVERY of those flights i have had
to take stuff off because it was too heavy
and repack everything in the middle of the airport.

and i didn't even buy that many things!
it was all just essential things like
underwear and my hair straightener
and HOW CAN THAT WEIGH OVER 15KG?!

so this time, i packed and decided just to pay la.
it wasn't that much anyway and
there wasn't anything to give away this time.


my closest encounter with someone famous ):

both my London trips were excellent,
and what really helped was the fact that
the UK is facing some economic recession thing
and now the exchange rate is 1 to 6.4 (or less)
so yay for me!

but I wouldn't want to live in London,
with the crazy underground mazes and
jampacked trains all the time making you
paranoid that you're going to get robbed
PLUS super expensive transport charges
and the extremely tempting shopping everywhere!
if i lived in London i think my parents
would be broke by end of the year ):

so no more traveling for me...
.. until April at least (:

and yay, i get to cut up bodies tomorrow!
i can't think of anything better (:
