London - Day 1 & 2

Okay so finally a post on london!

Our flight from malaysia was at 10.30 a.m on a sunday and it takes around 12 hours to get there so since they're 7 hours behind i think it was around 3.30 p.m (still sunday) when we arrived!

Jay (dad's indian friend) was nice enough to pick us up from the airport when we arrived and gave us a ride to our hotel.

This is the view outside our hotel!

We stayed in this hotel called Quality Crown Hotel and this is the hotel's rather small lobby. -_-

I kept complaining that we were more like living in an inn than a hotel because the rooms (and practically everywhere) were so so small there was hardly any space for our (mine and mum's) luggage to get through the door.

The brother and dad's room on the other hand was a wee bit spacious compared to ours.
Well at least they had enough space for 3 beds while ours was just nice for 2. -_-

But apart from that the place was considered quite decent!
Meaning it's clean and all and apparently london's standard of hotels are lower than here so ya what do you expect from their 4 star hotel!

At least they have such a pretty park outside for you to relax/take pictures of. :D

That's kor, dad and mum (and me, obviously being the one taking the photo) while waiting for jay to come and pick us up for dinner.

More pictures of the place!

Kor posing with the pretty flowers in the pretty park. *smiles widely :D

Dad, and some random man on his right under the tree.

We had fish and chips at this restaurant nearby!

I actually expected more from them but sad to say malaysia serves just as nice fish and chips (especially the chips i didn't like it at all!).

Took a stroll around the place before heading back to the hotel and that was end of day 1 in london!

Next morning!

I reached out for my camera (which was still in my bag i forgot to charge it how could i forget T_T) and snapped a picture of the view outside from the window.

Went down for breakfast (at this point i still have not taken any pictures of my food yet cause i thought that since we were going to be there for so many more days i can do that another time!) and then walked to the train station to take the tube to Madame Tussaud's.

It's actually a museum where you'll find wax people everywhere!


Pictures inside (i'm sure you can recognize most of these people/monster (shrek hahaha) so i'm not going to caption them cause i'm too lazy and it's getting late i need to sleep T_T) :

Sorry i can't help to remind myself that i'm balding ( SHIT I'M BALDING T____T) each time i see this picture so it's exceptional. T_________T

I call this the fat mirror!
Cause it makes you look larger and really big hahaha.

This is me inside the telephone booth when we got out.


After that we went to visit the london eye!

A close up shot.

Managed to get a nice view of the Big Ben during the 20 minutes ride in the london eye.


Pictures of the surrounding :


Back to the hotel after that, took a shower then went out for dinner at this place called The Mughal's, indian cuisine!


Went to bed not long after dinner and so that sums up day 2 as well!

Will update the rest soon, hopefully. :D

Right now i'm still sick and today (thursday) will be the fourth day i'm not going to school.

Currently living on Fisherman's Friend, cold and sore throat pills which sucks (except for fisherman's friend it actually tastes not bad i wonder why some people don't like it!)

Well i'm supposed to be getting all the rest i can (though blogging is considered resting as well cause all i do is sit in front of the comp and type right!) so i guess i should be resting hence going to bed now.

Nights. :D
