london 18th-20th march and back in bergen
woohoo!!!!! london!!!! i love this place!
anyways jason came to pick me up at goodge street station just like last time. then i just kinda hung around in his room cos i was damn tired. then he came back from soccer match and we went for lunch and i went shopping for stuff for my little niece who has yet to arrive in this world..he went back to study and i just walked around on my own..i bought BOOKS!! SO HAPPY!! haven't bought books for a long long looooong time. basically time passed kinda fast and i got kinda lost trying to find my way back to his place but i still made it anyway..by intuition..haha! and jialing came and we got ready for dinner cos his family was coming over for dinner with him. jialing came along cos otherwise it would be darn weird. it's not like im his gf or what. not that i ever want to be. but anyways..had dinner at inn noodles and it was nice! got back to his room and he went to study with jialing while i fell asleep and he slept in his friend's room.
the next day..i woke up real early i don't know why and just surfed the net and waited for van's text. then she told me that she spilt water on her phone and it's now spoilt but anyways she'll meet me 1430 at bond street station. since jason slept only this morning and i was really really hungry..i left and had lunch and carried on walking around by myself..i was intending to take the tube to bond street station until i realized, as i was walking along oxfort street, that it was just along oxford street! so finally i met van at around 1500 cos she was held up by lunch. SO HAPPY TO SEE HER AGAIN! somehow i've always felt very comfortable around her and it's very nice hanging out with her. went to primark and bought some stuff..and then chinatown..where i bought tidbits to bring back to norway so that i can have some connection with the tidbits i'm used to. then went for bubble tea at a hong kong cafe while waiting for jason to come have dinner with me.
she needed to get back home early so i had dinner with jason at a japanese restaurant. for the first time he didn't gobble up his food..haha! it was a nice dinner..and we had frozen yoghurt after that..with GRANOLA! hahaha!! my favourite!! ok and then somehow we just walked to trafalgar square..and i thought the scenery was really nice..and then we just went back to his place and he continued studying and sleeping in his friend's room.

i like the billboard








he sent me to the airport the next morning..and woah he finally got himself to write a letter. my visit to london this time is not so much about sightseeing but more about visiting friends. cos otherwise i would only see him if he happens to come back to singapore and i don't know when i will see van again. so it was a really nice trip! =)
but my flight from london heathrow was delayed for 1hr cos there was some air conditioning problem -_-" thus i missed my connecting flight to bergen since i need to collect my suitcase..check in..cross customs again and go to the gate. there was one damn irritating and rude norwegian woman at the gate who irritated the hell out of me even though i was pissed enough about reaching hatleberg so late. oh wells. and then i finally reached HATLEBERG! arrrrrrrr i love my rooom!!!! =) and sophy yijie jo cooked a nice dinner for me! so touched!! =)
lyon 17th 18th apr
we reached lyon at 6am..just hung around until this store opened..this old man was very nice..we couldn't speak french and he just decided to give us coffee and orange juice and croissant and all and it wasnt very expensive. it was a great breakfast! we then went to deposit our luggage and walked around the small city..somehow i really like this place though i was really damn tired and all. oh and i actually managed to read the map! hahaha!
