We went to London!! Early in the morning and we reached London at 6:30am!!!

Went to Westminster, big ben and London Eye... which I have been there millionssss time...

Hahaha... Probably when my dad come.. will bring him there as well!!!

Then meet Ruby at around 8am!!

Wondering where else to go cause most shop haven open yet...

Eddie said he wanna go Tower Bridge:)

Cause he saw it in her mom's pictures before:)

Then we went there la:)

N I don't like London's pigeon!! They simply fly!!

Like blind like that!! Scary la!!! Ish!!!!~~~

Then!! There is a Paul outdoor coffee shop there!!!

Eddie super exited...

Cause... remember macaroons? He bought for me last time in London!

The bloody expensive macaroons...

Ya... then he saw his favorite Pistachio Macaroon...

Hahaha... I bought one and let him try la:P Hehe...

Yoh... Ruby was quite desperate for a boy friend...

But she is too shy to ask him for phone number...

Go Belgo!!!

A very nice restaurant and famous in Mussel!!

Ruby's favorite! She loves mussel!!

Highly recommended to all of you who are in UK...

It is in Covent Garden!

Once you reach Covent Garden tube station then turn left and cross the road then walk into a small street then you will see Nike shop then it will be around there:)

Address is here: 50 Earlham Street Covent Garden London WC2H 9LJ

See!! The basin in the toilet!!! Super special... press the thing below then the water will come out d! but... me and Ruby has the same thought... very waste water...

Only dead fish swim with the stream - Malcolm Muggeridge

Devon and Cornwall's top 10 beaches

Porthcurno

One of the finest bays of the Penwith Peninsula, Porthcurno, with its wedge of white sand mixed with tiny shells, is squeezed between granite cliffs. The rock-hewn Minack Theatre is located to one side and there is a museum of telegraphy at the back of the beach. Pubs and cafés can be found close by.

Par Beach, Isles of Scilly

Majestic, bare and wild, the beaches on St Martin’s are considered to be the best on the Isles of Scilly. Par Beach on the island’s southern shore is probably the most impressive – a long, empty strand looking out onto rocks that make up the Eastern Isles. Be prepared for chilly water though.

Whitesand Bay

This expanse of fine sand close to Land’s End is a favourite with surfers and families alike. It has a good beachside café and at Sennen Cove, the more popular southern end of the beach, is the Old Success Inn. Surfing equipment is available for hire and courses are also provided.

Kynance Cove

This is one of the best options on the Lizard Peninsula, where beaches are few and far between. The 10-minute walk from the car park is well worth the trudge for its fine white sands, rocky spires and surrounding grassy areas. Swimming is limited by the tides but other attractions include caves and cliffs with serpentine seams of sand.

Woolacombe Bay

Surf dudes come from far and wide to one of the West Country’s most famous surfing beaches. The beach is popular with families and there is a warren of dunes behind for exploring. Crowds gather at the northern end, but more space can be found at the quieter southern end. The small resort of Woolacombe has shops and cafés.

Fistral Bay

Surf aficionados flock to this beach, which is the venue for surfing competitions. A surf centre supplies equipment for hire. Most of the sand is covered by water at high tide and strong currents mean that kids need to be careful, though lifeguards are present throughout the summer. The restaurants and cafés here offer outdoor seating.

Watergate Bay

North of Newquay, this arc of golden sand has a wild appeal. It is home to the Extreme Academy, which offers kite-surfing, land-boarding and other pursuits for the adventurous. Behind it are Jamie Oliver’s famous restaurant, Fifteen, and the more casual Beach Hut, both with splendid views. Watergate is not very sheltered, so make sure you carry windbreakers.

Tunnels Beach, Ilfracombe

This private beach is named after the tunnels that have provided access to it since 1823, when the swimming was segregated. There is a tidal bathing pool and on-duty lifeguards make the beach safe for kids. The rock pooling is top-class and there are kayaks for hire. Open Apr–Jun & Sep–Oct: 10am–6pm; Jul–Aug: 9am–9pm. www.tunnelsbeaches.co.uk

Croyde Bay

Sandwiched between the extensive west-facing Saunton Sands and Woolacombe, this compact bay has fine sand. There are campsites around and the village has pubs and bars that fill up in the evenings.

Blackpool Sands

Backed by woods and meadows, this family-friendly beach makes an enticing sight as it swings into view on the road from Dartmouth. Its sheltered location, clear water and fine sand makes this one of South Devon’s best swimming spots. For refreshments there is the renowned Venus Café.

My babe Eddie Ng went to London yesterday and I asked him not to buy anything for me cause last time he bought the macaroons from London are really expensive! Then he bought lots of foods from oriental shop as well... Then this time the time was a bit tight and I rather he could walk around London and have some nice foodJ DIM ZHI when I came out from shower I saw this...

Today woke up at 5am because Eddie got to go to London to renew his passport and I felt a bit guilty of can’t company him and last time I didn’t follow as well when he went to London ... So I decide to make him some breakfast so that at least he got something to eat in the busJ not so boring lo... Then surprisingly, I decided not to go back to bed and start my revision early in the morning at 5am! *clap,clap,clap* So tonight I don’t have to work so hard for revision and can spend some time with Eddie after he come back from LondonJ Recently, don’t really have much spare time to spend with Eddie cause both of us work full time now, he works 6 days a week and it will be almost 7:30 when he come back from Gloucester. Dinner for awhile then I have to start my revision dL Then weekend I have to cover up Ruby’s shift in Wolkswagen... No time to PAT TOR already ah.... L L L

Nowadays, I always have my lunch in office cause I am tired of walking back home for lunch, some more Ruby and Eddie won’t be at home to have lunch with me anymoreL So, I am back to BBC news again...:) But... I never expect that read news will have side effects at all... Some of the news is really scary and terrifying... some can stick in my mind for few days and causes me having nightmares throughout the night! Ish! I hate that... The most scary one is...a man who is a chef... killed his wife... and stored her in a freezer... for 3 years! Scary... Then today’s headline is... 2 kids have been found dead in a 4 stars hotel in Spain...sigh... madness...And I always imagine what if all these incidents happened on me? CRAZZYYYYYYY... Bangkok there got serious protest and many people die... sigh... their government is really... sigh...

I miss Ruby... but not very badly, hehehe:P Cause she called me every day!! Hahhahaha... Before she left, I did warned her not to call me every day :P but she still does... Naughty girlJ She was a bit down in the beginning cause it is really lonely there but I presume she is getting better nowJ I am surprised that she said she gonna join a gym membership thereJ GOOOD!!! Ruby! Faster find a nice room then I can go visit u alreadyJ And let’s go shopping once you get your payJ N Make sure u eat well there, if not... Uncle Wong will be sad :P This weekend we have seafood BBQ k? N picnic in the morning? It will be really warm this weekend!! Yuhoooo... we will have lots of things to do! Too bad I need to work in the eveningL

I asked why ah?

He said he didnt cut the BIG prawns.... cause... it looks nicer without cutting it... LOLzzz...

Then I went to the fridge and take out my lunch and open it and see...

Wow... I really laugh out loud...

The tomatoes got special shape 1 for display purpose...

Then the 2 prawns was like specially tight together like an eight shape also for display purpose...

Then he purposely put in a long shape container just to make it nicer...
