What an eventful day!

As usual, went to church in the morning. After church, there was lunch which was UBER GOOD. Hehehe maybe we were too hungry after squeezing ourselves into Chinatown and waiting outside the restaurant for 15 minutes. It was pricey, as expected but it was soooooo goooood none of us complained. And five of us (me, Kim, Hel, Jun Hann and Jonson) consumed FIVE big bowls of rice! - the lady had to refill our bowl of rice for FOUR times haha! We had roast duck, as usual, siu yuk, ma lai chao with belacan, bak kut teh and some taofu with gong yu chi. Ahhh ~ what a contenting meal! :)

This year is also the first time i'm spending Chinese New Year without my family :( CNY in London is so packed with people, all kinds of people! There was some event going on in Trafalgar Square today with loads of performances during the whole afternoon. Then there were Chinese food, Chinese costumes (even on Ang Mohs!), Chinese decorations and Chinese toys everywhere. It just seems like the whole London, well the area where im living in right now, is suddenly orientalised!

Later, me, Hel and Kim went for a jog walk to Tower Bridge. Haha we've been in London for 5 months but we haven't visited there yet!

The overrated London Eye


Kim and Hel's 'Bollywood' style! Hahaha!


"I'm on top of the world!"


Finally, Tower Bridge.


After that, we walked back to our hall. We decided to watch Mean Girls as we were all suffering from Sunday/Monday blues. We reached our hall, walked into the lift, pressed the button '3' and waited for it to close. It closed. BUT IT DIDNT MOVE. The three of us along with two other girls started to panic so we immediately pressed the emergency alarm but nobody came! Well, actually there was a security guard at the reception BUT HE FREAKING WENT DOWN TO WHO-KNOWS-WHERE. We eventually had to pry open the door ourselves and thank God we managed to do that! Even though the gap was small but at least there was still a gap. And we were stuck in the stupid lift for AN HOUR despite reasurrance from the subwarden that the engineer will arrive in 20 or 30 minutes.


Unhappy + miserable people who were forced to stay inside the lift



Please don't cry Kim!

So we text messaged, played games, played music, whined, complained, attempted to force open the door for several times and talked to people outside the elevator for that whole hour. Oh, and we camwhored. Then, when the engineer finally came, he closed the door for 15 to 20 minutes and told us he was going upstairs. Before we knew it, the lift suddenly started travelling upwards and halted in between floors all of a sudden. After that it began travelling downwards and then it went upwards again and stopped. The next thing we knew, the door was open! I tell you, all of us were practically running towards the exit with a huge sigh of relief! What an experience!

And ... the whole time we were stuck in the stupid elevator the security guard didn't even come to check on us! I really, really dislike him now! Will lodge a complain tomorrow! Grrrr ...

There was once i forgot to bring my card out so i went down to the reception and asked him for a temporary card.

Me: Hi, I forgot to bring my card out. Can i have a temporary card or something?

Him: Are you willing to pay for it?

Me: How much is it?

Him: Alf a pound.

Me: Huh? Sorry?

Him: ALF a pound.

Me: Hmmm *trying to digest what he just said and finally getting it* okay then.

Him: Do you know how much is that? (without waiting for my answer) 50 pence.

SEEE ???!!! He is so FREAKING RUDE. What the heck? I am so going to lodge a complain about him tomorrow i dont care!

Haha and i just realised i've written a long long post. And i still have Maths to finish!

Nights people!
