feels like 6 months f'shure. am now sitting in my quarantined room because i am down with the flu. shitloads of assignments waiting for me to tend to but....
from the beginning:
at the airport. much mixed feelings. spent the last day in singapore at home with the fam. am really touched many turned up to send us off and we are all feeling real bad we didnt get to spend much time with everyone. real happy my aunt and cousin managed to come as well.
many thanks to those who rushed down from work/school, to those to hung out at the airport prior to the departure and those who patiently waited for a photo opp haha, and those who texted/called because they couldnt make it
then it begun, 7 hour journey to doha and another 7 hours to london
and this is our huge group of senders
if i hadnt made it clear before, i'd say it again. i hate flying
upon arrival, we waited a few freaking hours at the airport before boarding our bus to winchester
thereafter, proceeded to lug our baggages up the entire High Street to our agent for our keys
after getting the keys, we took a cab back to our place (which would have been a 35-40 minutes walk). the condition of our house when we first stepped in was HORRENDOUS. the amount of dust and spiders that have settled down before us is terrible. so out we go to splurge on cleaning necessities and shit. unfortunately the supermarket that we know of and saw was Waitrose, which happened to be like The Marketplace of sg. which meant much $$$$$ flew away. the shengshiong of UK was just located right beside waitrose and we did not see it until a few days later.
went back to high street to get our bedsheets etc and off home to clean up. spent at least 3 days trying to clean the entire house and get it proper and neat.
on the 14th of September,
we took a short 1 hour bus ride to Southampton and visited ikea as well
dropped by abbey gardens before we headed home
the flowers there were incredibly pretty *_*

we were totally anticipating a warm(er) day in london becoz it's a city and all but nope tons of wind that day. we froze

some teriyaki udon meal i had on another random day after school
here's our preparation for halloween
my chicken doner and lamb shish kebab i had one day for dinner. it is SO GOOD. but this prob costs SGD14. probably the price i'd expect at a legit kebab shop in sg though so all's good. plus this was delivered to my house and its free! though i should mention, it took 1.5 hours to come >:(
took a impromptu trip to southampton with sam
chicken tikka wrap. the chicken is so good!
3.99GBP for 8 scoops of ice cream at baskin robbins!! how do i get the pounds sign to appear in my keyboard?? £ << oh there ive got it. but it probably effed up my keyboard as i changed it to the uk ver
my £1 (S$2) rice krispies treat cake
my fav digestives ever
random dinner
random face time sesh in between school with mt
on a SUPER WINDY day
another night out that was mehhhh.... i miss zouk
lunch at a quaint cafe
saw my window of opportunity for a witty snapchat!!!
then we visited thorpe park!! its located in surrey so its kinda a 1 hour drive
the rides they have are some sick shit man. totally wicked. this was just the easiest of the lot. didn't get anymore photos of the rides as my phone was in the locker and when i finally retrieved my bag, the sun went home already so.... stupid daylight savings. sun sets before 5pm nowadays :-(
on another hand, the plushies they have there are H U G E . saw a life-sized tiger plushy can you imagine that
queueing for the nemesis inferno. this ride was SO FAST i had no idea what was going on i was just spinning
last weekend saw us ordering burger delivery. the burger is massive man. i couldnt finish it. considering my appetite is already huge, this says something
the thing about take out food here is that its cheaper than eating in the store and delivery is free! most of the times
our year supply of toilet roll plus kitchen roll have arrived after so long hiak
thats all for now...
more to come!
