having fun at biying's place... Wii...

wembley stadium
goodbye to my trekking shoes... bought this in shanghai 2 years ago for about sgd 75. it is beyond repair now after several times of glue-ing. it is no longer water proof... cant bear to part with it.during this period of time, we were very glad to have a place to stay in biying and xiaoping's apartment. on our first day here, biying (who was suffering from jet lag at that time) took the time to bring us to a nearby italian restauarant (Luigi?) for dinner. i have excellent comments about this restaurant. though a little pricey for my standard (cos i almost compare every kind of food with a plate of zhap chai png in singapore), the pasta served was really delicious and in a big portion! i tried to remember the details served on my plate so that i can cook that when i am back in singapore. love it
we walked around town for a few days, visited the usual sights such as the big ben, parliament house, thames river, london eye, the huge national art gallery (where there were lots and lots of paintings from 1500 to 1900), chinatown, oxford street and wembley stadium and then off to paris for the weekend. there were some problem with the camera batteries, therefore, not many photos were taken in london.
however, i had a great time shopping in england. clothes and shoes were mostly half-price due to the usual post-xmas sale. e.g. i bought a new pair of waterproof Hi-Tec trekking boots for only 25 pounds.
