I moved!

I moved! Since the new apartment won't have internet access for at least the next few weeks, I won't be able to update this blog. Anyway, today's my very last night at the temporary accommodation. I shall enjoy the internet, water, electricity & TV for the very last time! hehehe...

London Daytrip 05 Aug 07

It's the 1st Sunday in UK! With the banks and offices closed, there's not much administrative stuffs we can do, so we decided to go to London!!! London is BEAUTIFUL!!! I just love the architecture!





Very unique bridge


Not sure what this building is called, but it looks kinda like Sleeping Beauty's castle to me.


A beautiful private cottage. I'd love staying there!

The Eye of London


It's bright and sunny and SCORCHING hot that day. With people fishing under the shade by the river, it's hard to believe that this place was flooded just a few weeks ago.


Big Ben! Or as D calls it "大苯钟".


Big Ben close up


Somehow, everyone seems to be taking pictures with the telephone booths! I did too! Haha...


Finally, the very famous Paddington Bear!

Greetings from Slough, UK

This's my 5th day in Slough! I hadn't been able to really log online for the past few days, because the internet connection was horribly slow. There's supposed to be wireless connection in the apartment, but we weren't given the password!!! So, we attempted to use the LAN cable. Unfortunately, I still couldn't log online. My friend's laptop could, but it's very unstable. Usually, it takes about 10 painstaking minutes to load just 1 pathetic website... Anyway, I've kinda given up hope of accessing the internet from my apartment, so I shall camp over at another apartment more often from now on.

Here's some pictures I took on the plane & the airport.

Pretty sunrise!


UK!


Lots of luggages


The BA flight was pretty good! To my pleasant surprise, there was personal entertainment! Unfortunately, I was sitting too close to the wings, so the drone of the turbines was a little uncomfortable. & my poor-quality hair was fried by the dryness & static on the plane. It still hadn't recover yet, so I look like a scarecrow with hay for hair... Think I'll have to use loads of hair serum/moisturer...

Anyway, we were whisked off to our temporary apartment in Colnbrook after we landed. The apartment was beautiful!!!

There's also a plasma TV in the living room, but I don't have the picture now.

My beautiful bedroom! The ultra soft & fluffy bed has 4 pillows & 4 cushions, so when you lie down on it, you feel like you're swimming in a sea of pillows! Perfect!




Colnbrook - a small, quiet & beautiful village.

















Life's good!
