Celebration..!

Instead of Working for double pay during the christmas, a bunch of us went to london to try out our 1st oversea christmas...



London Eye - cost me 15 pound for just 30 minutes, manage to take picture and video for 29.5 minutes up there, every 1 was like taking the big ben for N times, dunno for what , and that including me....lolz



Inside london eye, notice the big ben behind, this is a HOT SPOT....!





The big ben is even nicer when it's this near




A street singer dressed like santa performing in the tube station...



"cha xiu" and roast duck rice, delicacy can be this simple.... This is what we are craving for and we eat it almost everyday during the london trip....



St. Paul Cathedral with a bunch of gangster who claimed themself as super model... Nice picture with the Christmas tree behind....




Camden market- Gone to this big version "flea" market when my other friends gone to madame tussaud's where i've been there with my mom... really alot to see and me myself doesn't even sure wethere i had already gone through every shops cause it's so big that you might get "lost" in it.... This picture shows one of the corridor selling variety of foods. If anyone wanted to get cheap food here, come near closing time when all the food vendors will start to give half prize.... Getta eat a box of sushi and a mineral water for just 3 pounds... !


Cheapest hostel that we manage to find which is near the sub... but something interesting about this hostel is it's actuarlly located infront of a cemetery. Imagine if this is a hostel at a chinese place, i think it'll close down in a few months time.... Didn't take any picture of the cemetery, am not sure what my camera capable of "taking".... And supprisingly, this is where we spend our christmas playing cards, "mafia" and instant noodles. (because there all the transportation was closed on Christmas day... ) Luckily the hostel did provide us some food which include turkey, which makes it more like a christmas...




The kitchen is so small and it's not even enough to fit just us, this is where my 1st microwave instant noodle was created (due to not enough stove for me to even prepare my instant noodle)... i'm the one back facing the camera looking at what can we do with the food that we had, notice my friend on the right who had already start eating his rice, he is the Mr "look at my face"......! Play mafia with him and he will ask you to look at his face....



That's our christmas dinner: Pizza, fish finger, instant noodle, pringles, vegetables and fanta.... Not forgetting that the hostel also provide us with some turkey.



Changing of guards, at last i getta see it , miss it during the trip to london with mom. It's boxing day morning , thought the crowd wont be that much as most of them must have be wandering around shopping mall, but it isn't as expected. Cant really get a good view of how the changing of guards is done due to the crowd but there is a series of christmas songs being played by the band after that.....


Boxing day - This is how crowded it is.


So this is how the locals here celebrate their Christmas, it seems that a multirace country like Malaysia had it own advantage as well. At least there will still be transportation and shops open during major festival, because we cover up each other's holiday....haha!
