The Sale in London is ON!

This week has been quite packed with activities.. Went for drinks and dinner with Karin and Christine at Queen Mary by River Thames on Tues evening. View was amazing.. overlooking the London Eye, Big Ben and House of Parliament from where we were seated. Downed a bottle and a half of Budweiser. That was quite an achievement for me but not considered alot according to London standards.. ^_^


Attended Longview Course at Putney on Thu and Fri. Almost got lost at the Waterloo Train Station and in Putney itself. Was slightly late for the 1st day of the course but nevertheless, still managed to get there.. Thank Goodness!


Saturday was so far the most fulfilling day out of my 3 weeks in London! Ha~! It didn't occur to me that shopping in London can be so SATISFYING! I have always thought that LV was the only cheaper things to shop in London. When I alighted from the bus at Knightsbridge, my mind went into a little frenzy seeing all those huge 'SALE' signs plastered on the glass doors of the boutiques. Some of my damages include items from Zara, H&M and Camper. Forgot to check out the Anya Hindmarch bags at Harrods. Was lamenting to Emily via sms and she insisted that I had to go first thing next morning. Guess she's the ONLY person whom I can truly relate to in terms of shopping. :)


Went to Camden Market today - highly recommended by Jus. It was like the London's version of Pasar Malam except that everything costs 3X Singapore price and 6X Chatuchak prices. ^_^ Quite an eye opener.. visited the tattoo salon. Alot of stores selling Gothic costumes..there was this boutique called 'Fairy Goth Mother' which I thought was rather amusing.. really wonder what occasions these costumes are worn to. Christine promised that she will wear a corset to show me one of these days. I probably appear very 'suaku' to her.. heehee..
