Went out with dearie to settle some of his admin stuff...and we went around looking for accomodation for his parents who will be coming on the 3rd of June...after checking the rates of quite a few, we finally found one with a relatively lower price of 45pounds per night...(still rather ex considering that it's just a budget hotel)
Did some grocery shopping too...
Will be flying to Greece tml...altogether,there'll be 9 of us i believe...our flight is early in the morning..so need to wake up ard 3am later...the flight duration will be around 4 hrs plus, so most probably i can still catch some rest on the plane...
Need to go pack my stuff to bring to Greece soon...
Guess i would not be able to blog for the next whole week...
Shall update when i'm back...

Here's a pic of the church that dearie attends...we went there this morning...I've been to church service before in s'pore..huiling (banana) brought me to a few...the church service here is also about the same..singing songs and listening to sermons..
We went to attend the victory parade of Chelsea~ they are the premiership champions this year..
that's Roman Abramovich in the centre...
Tiago (Left), Ferreira (Centre)
The whole place was covered in a sea of blue.....my fav colour! wahaha.. dearie was saying: "One day, it'll be Liverpool's turn!" hahaha..he's a Liverpool fan...(just like ali) haha
The Chelsea players on the team bus...the whole stretch of road was closed for their victory parade..something that you dun get to see everyday....
Woohoo~ Just look at the crowd! the atmosphere here was fantastic~ Filled with joy and everyone was cheering at the top of their lungs..Never had such experience before! Some of the cheers I found very interesting: "Are you watching this, Arsenal? Are you watching this,Arsenal?...." hahaha...(Arsenal is their rival) and " We love your money, Roman Abramovich!..."haa...(He is the richest man in Britain and is the one who 'bought' the best players from all over the world to Chelsea)
We borrowed the Chelsea flag from someone and took this pic..haha... left to right: Dearie,me,Leisha,Jieqi,Allan,Johnathan,Man Er and Sim...

Dearie and i went to Camden weekend market ytd...He told me that it's a dodgy area.. You can find lotsa punks along the street, and "magic mushroom" (which is a kind of drug) can be seen selling at many stalls too.. A very interesting sight indeed...
The place is like a never-ending street..we were nearly lost among the crowd..
It was a day of shopping!! but didn't buy anything much cause the things here are really expensive...
In the evening, we went to Bayswater to have our dinner..Dearie brought me to this Hong Kong restaurant called "Four Seasons" famous for it's duck!! wow~ best duck I have ever eaten...
Btw, we are actually cutting cost by eating Asian food instead of western food which cost more and is less filling...hahaa..
Irresistable sweet red cherries...
Camden Market behind us...
Here's Camden's fruit and vegetable market...
Yummy fruit stall...want a mango?
Matching blue cap with my blue windbreaker....haha...
How Camden Street looks like...you can find alot of Punks here...It's like S'pore's Bugis street,but cooler, much much much bigger and crowded...
Punkie Shoes...
Indian food,chinese food,Thai food everywhere...
Along the riverside...
Pub inside the Boat...

Ytd, dearie and i went to see Chelsea football club..the tour ard the stadium just ended by the time we reached there...wat a waste...
I'm not very into soccer...but Dearie told me that Chelsea won the Premier League this year.. the club is very rich and bought alot of skilful players...
Next,we went to see the Fulham football club which is nearby...a contrast to Chelsea because the place is more rundown..
We travelled around by buses ytd..there are two type of buses here...the old and new type...took some pic of the buses too...
Dearie brought me to Chinatown in the evening..we went to this Japanese Restaurant called the "Misato" to have our dinner...had to queue up for quite some time because the place is popular and crowded with ppl...but the food was worth the wait...
At night,we met up with dearie's grp of friends to chill out...went to eat ice-cream!! we sat outside the cafe and enjoyed our ice-cream in the cold weather..wahaha...I love the feeling of eating ice-cream in cold countries, though i ended up shivering...lolz...haa...
the building of Chelsea Football club...the place is capacious! the club is indeed rich!
Us and the Chelsea football Club logo...
Fulham Football Club...
The old bus...see it's door,is at the back of the bus...
