In a blink of an eye, another year has passed and I'm already in UK for 4 months. I'm beginning to doubt my decision for coming over to UK...everybody seems to be having fun back in Malaysia. Sigh, my first Xmas and New Year away from home. So how did I celebrate my Xmas 08? I went down to Leeds to celebrate it with Jason and Wan Ling! I always feel good to meet up with any highschool friend whenever I have the time. Chatting about nonsense or how much we miss our highschool days always makes me feel so much at home.

Went to London by bus at around 7am. I forgot what time we arrived in London's Victoria Station but it should be around 11am. We were amazed at London and comparing it to Sunderland, I wished I was studying in London instead. Beautiful buildings, and well...city life lol. Took the tube to embankment station via circle line and later on arriving at our hostel in Waterloo. Quite a nice place to stay and well worth the price considering the fact that we have to share rooms with strangers. Breakfast too was provided. Later on we went to meet up with Zhen Hui's cousin in Chinatown and she treated us to dimsum! Thanks alot Zhen Hui's cousin! XD After the amazing lunch, she brought us to SOHO, a street/area that has lots and lots of sex shops lol. Anything genre can be found in the shops such as LGBT, fat chicks, etc etc, you name it, they have it. Took some kinky pictures and later on we moved on to have some Frech pastry. Again we were treated by his cousin. Thanks again :D

Finally, the day which focused on nothing but shopping, and shopping alone =D
Before that, we checked out of our hostel and later on we visited Buckingham Palace 1 more time and this time we were a little late but we managed to catch a glimpse of the reknowned "Change of Guards" routine. Took many photos and later on moved on to meet ZH's cousin 1 more time to collect "gifts" from here lol. We met her outside the British Museum but we didn't have the time to go inside so we just took photos outside the huge building. Next destination was Regent and Oxford street well known as London's shopping district. Bought lots of stuff ranging from AX. FCUK, Zara, to name a few. Rushed back to Chinatown for dinner before heading to Victoria Station to catch our midnight train back to Leeds.

Arrived back at Leeds about 3am and went straight back to Jason's place to sleep lol. Woke up about 10am to go shopping for Xmas gifts as there will be a exchange of presents during the midnight Xmas eve/day party at a friend's place. Again, we succumbered to shopping and we spent about half the day shopping. I got an LV bag for mum here. Later on we prepared for the Xmas party. Had lots of crazy fun there and thanks for the party! Merry Xmas lol

Went to York. No, its not what you think...we did not visit the city or any historical sites, we went straight to York's Outlet Store lol. Again we bought lots of stuff including Burberry. Got a polo tee for my sis, and a tee for my bro. Went back to Leeds about 4 hrs later. Said our goodbyes and then returned to Sunderland. T'was sad to leave city life but life goes on and not to mention, lots of coursework to catch up on :S
Will update more if I have the time or when I decide to get rid of my lazy bug :D
