First Day in London (20-09-11) 13/10/2011

The day started off with packing our stuff from my Aunt’s place in Horsham. Head to the train station with Aunt Aisah. She also needed to go to London that day to run some errands. Then we parted with her at Victoria Station. After that, we headed down to Brunei Student Unit in Norfolk Square, London to do some reporting before going home for good later that week.

After everthing was settled at BSU, which we thought wouldn’t take so much time which it did! We ended up missing our London boat cruise by a minute or so. Thank goodness, they we very nice and let us take the next boat. Then we went on London Eye and had supper with Alex

At BSU. We went there at 1.30 pm however we could only see the officer at 2pm. At least we were first in the queue

The cruise dock was located behind the london eye

Taken on a bridge that I thought featured on HP movie. But, I was wrong :s But I did get to see the bridge later on the cruise

This is the bridge that was featured in one of the Harry Potter movie

The commonly mistaken for London Bridge. This is Tower Bridge

Met half way with Alex at Leicester Square. Then we went to China Town for the first time.

It was totally different from how London looks like. It felt like we weren’t in London anymore.

We went to Canary Wharf suggested by Alext. This is where the business area are. The place is very posh.

The 3 bank tycoons: HSBC, Ctiti bank, the other one, I can’t see from this picture.

My fav picture of the day. My camera really take good picture of the night scene

Alex had to take his picture

The most confusing traffic light ever

Last Day in Horsham, West Sussex. 12/10/2011

I know I haven’t been updating my blog since came back to Brunei. I just got really lazy since there were to many pictures to be updated. Plus the internet isn’t very good here. Bummer

Anyhow, our last day in Horsham, we spent exploring the town center. Saw some nice building. The town itself was very nice.

Automated check-in and the metal basket is for you to measure if your hand baggage is the correct size

London for a Day Trip 18/09/2011

On Friday 16th September 2011, we went to London with Aunty Aisah from Horsham. But she had some errands to do first before we meet up again for lunch. So me and Fendi went around London just for fun.

We went around 10 in the morning, then catch the train ride at 10.50 to Victoria. This was at the train station parking lot

Portsmouth Visit 18/09/2011

15th September 2011, we went for a visit to Portsmouth. We planned to go visit HMS Victory warship. But, we went shopping at Gunwharf Quays shopping centre and went up Spinnaker Tower first. And we ended up missing the visit to the warship, because if we wanted to visit this ship, we had to join this tour and was advisable to start in the morning. We could only join the boat tour that day. We also met up with Muliadi there.

Had lunch at this halal indian restaurant

I had Indian Butter Chicken.. It was so yummy

Fendi had masala. It was too sweet for me

Muliadi had fish bariyani

We went to the tower

Great view from up here. The City was very nice

12 September 2011 13/09/2011

So yesterday was project and dissertation submission, the shipment company came to pick up our stuff to be shipped back home, and ofc my birthday. Hehehe.. With all that was going on, I kept forgetting it was my birthday but.. friends and family greeted me personally and posting on my fb wall.. Aww you guys are so nice. I always look forward to these birthday greetings every year!! I love them!!
Also talking about packing. I had probably 2 hours of sleep the day before becauce of packing all my stuff. Thank God I manage to squeeze everything in. Here was how it went.

I had to get all my stuff that was hidden under the bed.. This was taken early moring around 7. My flatmates was noisy and woke me up around 4.30 am :s and didn't sleep since

First thing I did was labelling..

First box was up~ So indecisive at this. Put it in or out. Then I decided to categorise the each box into functions, like, clothes, kitchen, computer etc.. Not sure if it was a good idea. Some box ended up rather heavy :s

All computer stuff already inside thier boxes

It get messier and messier by the second

Some boxes had to be left outside my room. There were no space for them :s

Everything finished packed the next morning~ phew

The shipping van came at 3 pm when they were suppose to come at 11-1 :s haiz… Here’s a look of my room now

Very empty just like when I first came here.. Going to miss this room~

And this was our dinner last night.. hehehe.. finishing off our last indomie.. We only had one small plate and it was too small for 3 packs of indomie. So makan chinese style, dari periuk saja.. hehehe.. like Sizzling dish di Brunei.
