London Sightseeing

More happy pictures from London…

Couple addicted to Nike’s Shox Q’Vida High boots and Air Max.

Myjojo thinks about FedEx every where he goes… even on a vacation. 

Proud of Malaysian Jimmy Choo.

Myjojo taking a look at the shoes. I didn’t dare look because they were too expensive… so I quickly snapped 2 pics and walked right out.

A cathedral.

A typical ancient building.

Reminds me of Mary Poppins, when she used to jump off roofs.

Teletubby #1.

Teletubby #2.

The Thames River, on a ferry cruise.

One of the best looking modern buildings I saw in London.

Very ancient-looking.

Happy lion.

A souvenir shop at the foot of the river.

Forgot this castle name.

How beautiful it is.

On the bridge.

Do you see Batman and Indiana Jones? So random.

Boobs & eggs.

His flying wheels. A day before “the proposal”.

Salvador Dali.

James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) looking rather old and oily.

Against the Big Ben.

My prisoner.

I blame the photographer.

What a lovely picture, it’s so real with the tree effects and the angry skies.

I couldn’t stop myself from laughing at this picture.

Just some grills.

Pimples starting to pop out because of the cold weather.

Posing.

I love the change of the skies.

Queen Mary ship.

Blackfriars Bridge.

On the other side of the Blackfriars Bridge.

This is the London Bridge. If you kiss below the bridge for the first time, you will have everlasting love and happiness. That’s what myjojo and I heard from the tour guide on the ferry. We’d like to believe so, we did what was told.

Battle ship.

This is the Tower Bridge along the River Thames.

The River Thames is Great Britain’s second longest river. It stretches for 215 miles from its source in the Cotswold Hills to the open sea near Southend in Essex. For most of its length it is traversed by bridges both small and large, which carry motorised transport, walkers and cyclists over the Thames.

Two teletubbies.

The shadows.

Tower of London.

London’s KFC is quite yummy. Fattening as usual, and really salty too although not as spicy as Malaysian’s. Plus, they vary in sizes and don’t look too consistent.

A closer view of the Tower of London, where several people like Thomas More was buried and Anne Boleyn beheaded. The history of this tower is quite an insightful one, previously as a treasury, prison, zoo, Royal Mint, home of the Crown Jewels, observatory and a bloody place for execution. More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_London 

I love how pretty and modern these colourful windows look.

They say, the best view of the Big Ben is when you can capture both sides of the clock. I made it. Big Ben is the world’s largest four-faced chiming clock, which was also known as The Great Bell, The Clock Tower and the Tower of Big Ben.

Nice view.

Balls Brothers Wine Bar.

Tube into London.

Inside the tube.

Í wonder why Westeners like to use “Malaysian” everything when there isn’t really any chicken soup recipe authentic in Malaysia. Well, not that we really know of.

Oooooo yummy, I love this salmon salad.

Inside the train.

I was wondering what this crowd was all about it’s a tavern with many people sitting outside on a Friday evening after work.

Omg, Cafe de Hong Kong. What a name.

Silhouette.

I end this series of pictures with this image that says, “Never let anyone walk on your head.”

M.O.D.E.R.N

To the left, to the Tate. M.O.D.E.R.N spells:

Men
Open
Dominating
Eager
Respectable
Never say never

A walk into the past.

Patiently waiting for the right direction.

Contemplating against the right direction.

But it’s time to relax!

‘Nuff said!

This is my story.

That’s why.

The man in the picture.

Oi, whussup?

Duh.

Me at work.

Oakley rules.

My Oakley Grapevine rules.

No wheels allowed. Not even his.

Over here.

The Tate.

Incredible hulk.

When there’s a crack. fix it if you can, unless you turn it into modern art.

Nike rules.

Nike fetish.

The rail that holds the glass.

It wasn’t a fetish that it was a myth.

Mona Lisa was once a man. Don’t be puzzled. We determine his/her outlook.

Lovebirds sipping.

The big gossip about people.

Volkswagen Kombi.

A kaleidoscope of poems.

This is pain.

Introduction to London

I stepped into Heathrow Airport upon reaching London after the 13 hour flight from Kuala Lumpur via MAS. Bad flight seriously, worse in my life. Bad weather. Anyway, I made new friends onboard the flight again, as I always would. I didn’t quite expect to stand in the immigration line with approximately 300 foreign-passport owners in front of me, that cost me two hours. Immediately, I caught sight of this fashionable girl whom I believed must look 80% somewhat like me. That was my cousin, Suan Li. We share the same middle name and it’s unusual how people recognise her as Suan when I’m a Suan as well. Intricit diamond. A girl’s best friend.

We hugged and caught up right away after not seeing each other for almost 8 years. By this time, little Jaime had already grown up into a handsome young cutie. Very lovable.

It was raining and wet that night, really reminded me of Bridget Jones when she came out onto the streets in only her undies. Anyway, Suan Li and I walked down the streets of her neighbourhood where there were interesting eateries with pubs and bars.

That day, God made London seem rather gloomy for me, while the streets were wet.

Remind me to bring this picture out again during Halloween.

Casual posing.

Colourful and bright….this is more like it!

Isn’t my cousin hot?

Cool!

\

The following day, couz and I quickly got ready to meet myjojo who was coming from Manchester after his WC.

Covered my face in my D&Gs.

Put many layers on.

Do we cousins look alike?

I love my Nike Shox Q’Vida boots.

Stayed at Sheraton Hotel in the city, 5 mins walk to Buckingham Palace. Quite an old hotel. To be honest, I’ve definitely seen better from Starwood Hotels.

I liked the wooden toilet seat concept.

The toilet looked nicer than its room.

Not as modern as I could compare with Westin.

Myjojo showed me his torn clothes. There’s some kind of World Championships jinx. Same time this year, I visited myjojo at the Mallorca hospital in Spain after he broke his collarbone. Last year the guy who crashed him got disqualified. This year same thing again. He suffered only minor injuries.

It’s seriously not easy being a cyclist’s gf or any other dangerous-sportsman’s loved one for that matter.  I’ve just grown into it and this has become a part and parcel of my life, even with all his battlescars. Scary and worrying most of the time, but I’m bold enough to know how tough he is.

Jaime, my nephew!!!

My very hot cousin’s butt.

My naughty-Jo.

Needless to say, we’re reached China. I mean, Chinatown.

Isn’t he the cutest lil thing ever?

Dimsum with my aunty and uncle. Wonderful meal. Especially the chicken feet! Yumm!!!

Yes, she’s tall, and I was in heels, made me extra shorter. No fair, our fathers (siblings) are 6 footers. How come I’m way shorter? Where did my “short” genes come from?

Then, I saw Arnold Schwazenegger performing. Hmm, this certainly wasn’t one of his speech to the public in UK. Hah, just kidding about the Arnold part.

I seriously found it rather difficult to understand Brit jokes.

Covent Garden, near the market.

Some of the stuff they sold.

Bugs made into keychains. Tsk tsk.

Yay, I got to see myjojo again!

Two ladies found smoking on the streets, in times of cold weather. Hmm…

I love their red public phone booths!

Even their road work looked artistic!

My uncle and I saw t he same thing – the bridge. Rather unique, right?

Trishaw in London.

Taxi in London.

Just something random I thought looked pretty nice.

The statue that stands tall at the Trafalgar Square.

At the back of a horse.

Nice National Gallery, but didn’t go inside though.

Check out the couple. No, I wasn’t snooping on them!!!

Pink cab this time.

And a nice haircut dude.

Nice colour against the skies.

Jesus stands tall.

Bicycle and Knives Video

WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

Enjoy this bicycle act. Wheels and bicycles mean alot to myjojo and I.
