Easter Trips!!

It's holiday season again... another month of it.. lol.. dont really know why there's so many holidays over here in the UK... but it's all good for me as I get to travel again... lol...

BLACKPOOL
Anyway, on the first day of hols, went to Blackpool for its theme park... its called Pleasure Beach Theme Park and it's next to the sea... heard it was good and since they are having promotions we decided to go... it's been a while since i last went to a theme park with roller coasters and all.. the rides there are awesome.. really exciting... compared to those boring rides in Genting Highlands.. we rented 6 cars as there were almost 30 of us....I got a Vauxhall Astra 1.8cc... quite a nice car to drive... it took us almost 2 hours to reach Blackpool from Leeds.. ONce we were there, met up with Kok Hong to collect our tics and there we go... there's this ride called 'The Big One', it was a really scary one... u go up above 200 feet and u drop at an angle of almost 80 degrees.. that was really awesome...cant really tell much through words.. i will just let the pictures do the talking.. not much though.. too lazy to upload all of it.. can check it out in facebook...


Entrance to the theme park...


these guys couldn't wait for the toilet.. so they resort to contaminating the beach with their piss... lol...


In Fusion... nice ride where your feet is hanging in the air..




the ride was nice but the queue was horrible... since the place was so crowded, I have to wait for more than half an hour for each ride... some even took me an hour just to get on to a 15 seconds ride... lol...


just look at the queue...


this one is something different... it does a 360 loop and it goes backwards when it reaches the end.. cool ride...


that's me...


taken while waiting to get on to PEPSI the BIG ONE...


that's LAUREN feeling sick after 2 consecutive rides on a roller coaster... useless.. hahaha...


Ken Wayne posing to get ready to hit high score....

Wilson... my housemate...


Kok Hong tried his luck in some basketball game and he managed to win this gigantic fish...


Me and Lin Nyok with the fish...lol


Bye Bye Pleasure Beach..

We then head off to Lake District to stay there for the night...

Lake District

It was suppose to take us 2 hours to reach the hostel in Lake District but while we were leaving Blackpool one of the drivers managed to follow the wrong car and he lost the way which wasted half an hour of our time... sigh.. we never rented any red car but somehow he followed that car thinking that it was us.. god..

Then there's another incident which delayed us to the hostel.. while going up a steep slope in Lake District.. one of the cars we rented couldn't go up the hill so we have to leave the car there and drive them up to the hostel.. according to the hostel owner, the slope that we went is one of the steepest slope in UK.. god.. all of us don't know y that particular car couldn't go up as all the other 5 cars managed to reach the top.. sigh.. anyway, the hostel was very nice and clean and the sceneries in the morning is just beautiful..

Since Lake District is famous for the lakes, we went to 2 lakes on Sunday, Coniston and one of the lake in Fell Foot Park.. The sceneries in Lake District is very nice and u get to see a lot of sheeps running around and from the slopes u can actually take tonnes of good pictures... wonderful scenes... it's a good place to chill and relax... Din manage to take much picture as I was driving most of the time..


outside YHA.. the hostel I stayed..

My ride for the trip....






since it was lunch time, we stopped by one of the pubs to grab some food..the place was quite expensive but then i was too hungry to care... got myself a Salmon and Cream Cheese Sandwich... and also RM 50 is not enough for anything on the menu as shown in my pic above... loll...




that's me driving.... yeng leh... hahaha...

one thing i notice about ppl in the UK, they like to bring their dogs to everywhere they go... so scary...sigh...


Lin Nyok and the golden retriever...


another huge dog...





Coniston...

The river...




loads of ducks around...




nice scenery



well, that's it... although it was a 2 day trip, it was fun and adventurous... and also i found out that there were a few selfish bastards whom i do not wish to go for a trip with them anymore.. overall, it was a really good trip and really exhausting one as well.. I slept for the whole day the next day i got back...lol..

Cheers....

Easter Break!!!

Finally, after weeks of spending my time in classes and labs, it's time for me to have a good rest again... 1 whole month.. muahahhaa... well, this break is supposed to be for me to be studying since my finals is just around the corner.. But then, the temptations of EUROPE is just too hard to resist... Hungary, SLovakia and Austria... here I COME!!!!! muhahaha... gonna be there for a week during the first week of April with Ying Yi and her friends from Nottingham...

will be going to Blackpool tomoro for the theme park and the beach.. the rides in the theme park looks pretty cool and exciting.. gonna be driving there.. it's like a class trip as there are more than 30 person who will be going.. will be going in 6 cars.. convoy.. hahha...

anyway, got to go now.. just feel like writing something in my blog.. ciaoz..

hopeless internet,....

Sigh.. internet here is just hopeless... can't even send an email to my project supervisor coz it takes ages to upload the datas.. sigh....
anyway, have a look at my work station where I've been spending hours there to complete experiments for my final year project... one experiment takes 4 hours... 4 HOURS!!! but luckily i can access youtube and crunchyroll in the lab to cure me of my boredom and the best thing is that they even provide the speakers.. lol...
due to the lousy internet connection.. i shall upload the pictures at my next update..

I feel like getting tattoo... should i??? the tattoos look so good.. but then its too exp to get it in UK... i asked some brits here and they told me, they charge like 60 pounds an hour over here just for a tattoo... sigh.. way out of my budget man...
anyway, till the next time..cheers...

Snow...

As the title shows, it was snowing here last week for one full day... rarely get that here.. so me and my friends sneaked out of class for 15 mins just to take some pictures in Hyde Park... Hyde park was so nice with all the snow covering it..it was white all over and there is a lady who brought out her wine and just sat there enjoying the scenery even though it's freezing out there... lol... the snow was quite thick but unfortunately we din manage to build a snow man due to the time and also we did not wear any gloves... It was very painful to just hold the snow for that long coz its too freaking cold... lol... Anyway, managed to take some pics on my cam and the rest are still in my friend's camera..

look at the amount of snow i got in my hand... woo hoo...

London Trip (15/12/07)

Alrite... since I've got nothing else better to do... I just wanna post some pictures I took during my London trip last December.

LONDON

First day


London Eye.. din went for the ride though.. just took it from a bridge which I forgotten the name of it... lol... It was so nice of Yan Yan's uncle to bring us around London on the first day I arrived.. he even let us have the whole house and also bought us dinner in WAGAMAMA which I heard was quite famous in UK.. have got a few branches around... However, the food was just so so... Yea... tat nite we just walked around the city... Trafalgar Square, Oxford road, China town and some other places...

Second day
anyway, the next day we went to Madam Tussaud's... It changed so much since the last time I went there when I was a little kid.. lol... After that, I met up with Choong Lee and his brother at Hyde Park.. From there we just walked all the way down the street till we reach Harrods... went into Harrods... man, that place is awesome... It would be better if I had few hundred thousands in my bank account.. hahaha... he told me about krispy kremes, so I just bought some to try.. not bad but I prefer Dunkin Donuts... hahah... while on the way out, I saw a Rolls Royce and there were a crowd of people surrounding it... I heard someone said that Victoria Beckham a.k.a Posh Spice was inside... wanted to join the crowd that was waiting for Posh to come out but then I got bored so I just walked off... not really interested in her anyway... lol....

THen Choong Lee brought me to CHinatown for dinner... He said that there's this famous restaurant that sells duck rice.. So we went there... Once we reached, I was told that we have to queue up for 30 mins before we can get our table... Since it's that famous, I said its fine...so we waited... well, it was not bad and not too pricey... tats all I can say about it.. if u compare to Malaysia, well, obviously u cant... hahah... After that, went to Majestic Theatre to buy ticket to watch Phantom of the Opera for the next day...


Sherlock Holmes...


Old skool telephone booth...


Julia Roberts..


Keira Knightley... woo hoo...


Captain Jack Sparrow..


Princess D...


William Shakespear...


some chinese monk.. I dun really know his name...

Third Day

Met up with Choong Lee again and this time we headed to London Bridge and Tower of London... DIn manage to go into the tower of london... Just walked around, take some pictures then we left to Trafalgar Square... Dinner in Chinatown again... this time we ate earlier coz we got to go for a play at 730pm..
Went to Majestic Theatre for Phantom of the Opera... It cost me 35 pounds for that show but I have to tell you guys, it was all worth it... The show was awesome...There was the moving stage effects and all.. the story itself was a good one.. Phantom of the Opera wat... lol...


London Bridge... took it from far coz too lazy to walk nearer... lol...






Big Ben...




outside the theatre after the show...


Fourth day

Lauren and Hwei Chuin joined us on the 4th day before we leave for Germany... Since I was in London 3 days earlier, I took them around... hahaha... We went to St. Paul's Cathedral.. Went up to the tower where I had to climb more than 400++ steps to reach the top... It was exhausting... din really get to travel much that day coz had to leave to Lauren's Fren's place earlier where we took a cab to the airport together... his place was somewhere up north of london in zone 5(forgotten the name dy)...
However, we managed to meet up with Kok Hong and gang for dinner before we left... had buffet dinner in one of the restaurant's in Chinatown.. yes, Chinatown again.. lol....
