13 & 14 dec

13 dec

transiting in bangkok suvarnabhumi airport for 6 hours.. spent most of the time reading! they even have laptop points for people to plug in and surf wirelessly (which i shamelessly used to charge my dying N73..) most of the shops there are huge with many sales assistants but have not that many customers..



14 dec

kiatc met suggested cooking fried rice for a start! this is officially my first cooking attempt ever! *so proud of myself* didn't taste that bad although we did forget to add in the salt to the rice. had to re-pan and add the salt to the mix. not too bad for a debut i guess.. haha

went to leicester square to walk around in the afternoon. was awed by the sheer number of shops in the area! the shop that particularly caught my attention was a spirits shop. the picture is like a quarter of their display window. there is probay enough booze inside to kill half of london's population.. there isn't a brand of hard liqeur that cannot be found inside! also walked past soho with all the tacky shops..

next we went to the trocadero and picadilly circus. there was a small funfair there. saw a man win a big reindeer softtoy by hooping 2 basketballs! then we went to trafalgar square where lord nelson stands proudly above a large pillar, surrounded by 4 giant lions. for dinner we had a (disasterous) fish and chips from a cheap (and lousy) "food court" on top of a pasar malam near covent gardens. did a hell lot of walking today to recee. returned to the house with leg aches! was so looking forward to sleeping after one long day..
