LONDON. SEPTEMBER 2008

So it was on the 19th of September that we decided to go to London for my test.

A just arrived from Nottingham that time but A's other bag has been readied so off we went to Moor Street Train Station. While waiting, we went to Bullring to buy something and I had Millies Ice cream with chocolate syrup, cookies and marshmallows on top; coz A is boring, A only had latte from Starbucks.


Just after 8pm we arrived in London. Armed with N95, I took these fotos as I have nothing (better) else to do..

That's one of the underground stations.




Then we looked for a place to stay. Most hotels had no vacancies coz it's weekend but we found one hotel near KingsCross station, which is only one tube stop away from my test site.

I do not know that lady behind me. She's not the subject. I am. As it was Friday night, A and I went to look for my test's location, then we stayed up out til 1am.



20th September.
At 9am we were on our way to my test site. Then at 930am I went inside, there were a lot of candidates. I gave them a smile and said good morning to practically everyone, and secretly wished for all of them to fail.
Then at 10am the test started.
Then at 1015am my mind wandered to Disneyland.
Then at 11am I started mental telepathy with my imaginary friend.
At 230pm I concluded my test. Then I went out and saw that mirror. Of course, I wouldn't miss that opportunity to take foto of myself.
I have learnt one thing after taking that test:
Reading about Arts and Literatures is a good substitute for Valium.



Then off I went to Oxford Circus to meet A (I have had no choice anyway). A wanted to go to an Abercrombie shop, the only one in UK. I had something from Uniqlo and TopMan while wandering the streets of London. That was enough as I have to save for December's thingy (12+16+2008=25).
We couldn't find Abercrombie, so we thought it's best to eat first. We went to KFC in Leicester Square, then back to Oxford to look for A's themepark (Abercrombie).


We passed by Hamleys and I told A I dont mind doing that job (meaning, mascot). For a hug-deprived person like me, that is just great! Plus my face will be covered by the costume anyway so I dont mind. So if anyone is looking for someone to wear a mascot costume, please contact me. I am really willing.


Still looking for that theme park.



I love London. People walk fast as if they are in a hurry coz they care about something.



New thing in London?


And some more: a good way of saving fossil fuel.


Then we passed by those retards from Hamleys again.



We found 2 Easter Europeans girls carrying a bag from A/F, so it was just proper to ask them where that fucking store is (which is a theme park for A), and they said in their own hard Eastern Euro twang where it is located.
Oh, these foreigners... It's hard to get directions from them.
Then I thanked them with my proper English accent, they might think Im a white British even though I look more Oriental.



Inside the tube. Obviously.


Then at 11pm I was back in my room in Birmingham.
My test result will hopefully arrive next month.
