all alone in lovely lovely london...

So.. Sisters have left me all alone in london but i think it'll be cool.. Asked one of my seniors to come down to london to stay over with me. Since she's here visiting her brother in oxford, thought it'd be cool for her to pop down to london for a bit.. just to hang out and see stuff.. :)

Uber cool... The contractor for my sis' place came by today with his carpenter to look at some stuff: cracks, spoilt windows, faulty radiator, etc. And it was really odd cos.. the more i saw him, the more he (the contractor) looked like one of the design tutors we have in id.. Christian... I could've sworn they were brothers or something.. except, Charles (the Christian-lookalike.. wow.. even their names might fit as brothers...) seemed so nice and sweet and in no way lecherous!!! :p hahaha... I was practically having a giggling fit when this thought came to mind... but had to silence myself since.. a girl giggling to herself when all alone does seem a wee bit loopy.. :)

Anyhow.. What a difference today is from last week, when i had auntie annie and angie to spend time with and charity and michelle for a bit too.. Now everyone's gone!! :p Ah well... I can still reminisce with photos. :)




here's us girls at hampstead tube station (from left: 2nd sis natalie, friend celine, myself) the first saturday i got here... we were going fairy-paraphernalia shopping... scouting for stuff for saffie's fairy party*... The area is so nice.. almost quaint.. though.. still very much a town area... cobblestone walkways.. cafes all over the place.. very pretty.. :)




This was one of the streets we passed along the way.. "Back Lane".. so cute. haha... i love the brick. it's EVERYWHERE here.... in england.. Wish we had such buildings in Singapore... instead, our buildings are all so... contemporary.. :( all the metal and concrete... *yawn*...





ooooh!!! i took this for you paul!!! :) it's a patisserie that's almost everywhere in london.. :) and really pretty too! and apparently, has AMAZING confectionery. :p i wouldn't know.. haven't tried it yet.. (yes yes.. it's amazing i haven't tried it.. :p) anyhow, this one's for you paul. happy early birthday. :p (together with the early gift and all.. hee.. )

This picture's for myself.
How nice that something as lovely as a florist, with affiliations with the beautiful posh Chelsea Gardener might have the same name as me.
