Wa seh! It's been more than a week since I last blogged! Well, that's because I was in London with my pretty batch girl, Cherlyn, doing lotsa shopping! Lol! Retail Therapy! The best way for me to lighten up my down spirits! :) It's been awhile since we last did a flight together and I must say, she's never changed a bit! Still as "crazy" as ever.. lol!
But the off side was, POUNDS went up!! And it hopped to an astonishing 2.44 now! KNS! Curse whoever boost London's economy!
Well, I know GBP rates had been higher before BUT I'm just so used to it being low at 2.05 or 2.03 lor! *poutz* This could possibly be my last London shopping before I return to my usual London trip routines, makan -> sleep -> internet. Urgh! How disappointing.. x_X
Anyway, still managed to take some pictures in the midst of our itchy-hands shopping. Laugh on the several times of "slapping each other's hands" to stop ourselves from further damages! Haha! :D
Alright! Here goes! ;)
Day 1

Lunch at the hotel's restaurant named Bugis Street. Lol. Traces of Singapore can easily be found even as far as in London. I had Nasi Goreng. :)

This is US shopping at Topshop. She looked tall right? But actually 2cm from me only. Just that I'm wasn't standing very straight.
In the end we walked out with regrets without buying these tops that we tried on.

I got these from H&M instead. Heart the tights. :)

And Krispy Kreme donuts are still the best! Melts in the mouth lo! *slurps* :p

Got myself this from Boots Pharmacy. So kawaii desu shio! Smells great too! :)

For work.

Back in the room by 8pm. Shopping takes unhappy thoughts away from my mind. :)

But only for awhile... :(
Slept at 3.30am, London time (GMT +1)
Day 2
Woke up at 12.30pm. Meeting BG Cherlyn at 1.15pm.

Hee. Cam-whoring only takes seconds ya. :p


With my coat on, all set & ready to go! :)

Lunch at this HK restaurant famous for its Roast Duck Rice. Yummylicious lor! Singapore can't find such good duck rice for sure! :P

Comes with free "Soup of the Day" which happens to be Water Seacress with Pork Ribs soup.

Just look at the juiciness of the skin and the tenderness of the meat! Delicious!

Cherlyn's skin is damn good one la! No need make up one lor. So envy.. :P

Miss Selfridge.

Miss Selfridge too.

Dorothy Perkins.

Dorothy Perkins too. Love this skirt but too bad don't have my size anymore. :(

Waiting for the train back to our hotel.

My 2nd day purchases from Topshop. I just had to get this floral top! Love it so much! And the "Chanel" bag. :)

Shoe gel pads and top from Primark. There're SALE everywhere!
Weekend shopping in London reminded me of New York somehow. Everywhere's packed with the curious crowd and changing room queues get longer and longer with each wait. Almost EVERYONE just had to go in holding the MAXIMUM number of pieces to try in order not to "lose out" on the time wasted on queuing. How Singaporean. Lolx.
I recognise the behaviour 'cos most of the shoppers came out throwing the same number of clothes they tried on earlier back at the Changing Room Assistant.
Funny. Kiasuism is actually internationally roaming now! ;)
