Nothing much to update, I guess the 2 most important events.
10 Oct.
Went out with the Singapore Society in Imperial to explore London. I have uploaded all the pictures onto facebook already, so please go ahead and look it through. Met quite early in the morning with Khew Fai and joined his group, called Lambo, if I remembered it correctly. Took the tube from South Kensington Station down to Hyde Park Corner and walked towards Buckingham Palace. The palace itself was damn bloody crowded, as it around the time of the changing of the guards.
There were police going around on horseback. HORSES.
My god, the only chance of me ever seeing that in Singapore is at Kranji, not in front of the Freaking Istana.
Anyways, moved on across Queen's Lawn and through St. James' Park and down towards the Big Ben. Cross Westminster Abbey along the way. Saw the London Eye for a moment but didn't really even go near it.
That was followed by take-away lunch at MacDonalds and then taking a trip down to Trafalgar Square where we finished eating and climbed lions.
Moved on to Chinatown from there, which was quite a ridiculously short walk, I did expect a much longer walk than that. Walked around a bit and continued down the road to Covent Gardens. Where all the buskers are and such. I could describe the buskers, but I guess its better for you guys to go SEE THE PEEKTURES.
Nevertheless, stayed there and walked around for another hour or so and moved back to Chinatown for dinner at Wong Kei.
Bloody hell, a bowl of rice in London is 1.60 Pounds. Can you believe it.
Nevertheless, food was decent and cheap, so no complaints.
11 Oct.
Woke up ever earlier(Actually I woke up late that day.), as we prepared to go for the first Fellwanderer's Sunday Walk. For background, the Fellwanderers is a club at Imperial where they basically... Walk. Walk everywhere, mostly around the more Rural Sides of the United Kingdom.
Mind you, when I said walk. I don't mean from your house to the supermarket, or down Orchard Road.
When I say walk, I mean 9 hours up and down countless of hills, around millions of rabbit, sheep and cow dung.
for that day, we were heading towards the Seven Sisters. Its a landmark along the South Coast of England, linking the Towns of Seaford and Eastborne.
Yes, we walked from one town to another in the south of London with the freaking wind blowing in our faces. I swear, the wind was strong enough to move me, so that was how scary it was. It didn't help that the slopes of the Seven Sisters were almost 50degrees most of the time. Damn bloody hell difficult to get up and down.
But it was such an exhilarating experience. Got to be there to feel it. The wind, the view, the height. And of course, the satisfaction of completing the whole course.
Go see, photos are all on facebook. When in doubt of which part of facebook, please refer to previous post.
Till next time.
...
PS. Oh, for those interested, Maths at Uni is still acceptable, isn't so hard that I'll die yet. =)
