Spent two weekends in London so far and thought I'd update with updates :P.
Last long weekend was spent in Milton Keynes where we took a 40minute drive to Oxford and saw people do the punting. I was more than happy to see whether anyone were about to fall over Lol...but none of them did. Weather was abit overcast and drizzly so we pretty much walk the streets. We had lovely Thai food and stayed the night at relatives. More photos here
As we came back to London the next day, it was super hot! Being me in seizing the day (which I'm glad I did) I went for a random run and went straight to Tower bridge to take some sunset photos. It was definitely the last day of summer as I think someone threw London into a fridge after that. Temperature dropped by at least 5-7 degrees for the rest of the week! Am thankful that I don't have much disturb sleeps because it was warm and am looking forward to undisturb sleep before it becomes too cold to wake up haha...yes, it is London indeed and hence people talk about the weather ALL the time seeing how crazy it is.
This weekend I had high tea at the Orangery, a restaurant and events centre held next to Hyde Park and I quite light the atmosphere too in the place.
Cute mandarin plant on each table
Unfortunately we couldn't go for the proper high tea coz they didn't serve until later. So we had yummy cakes and scones...Mmmm
In the evening I tagged along D to look for a driving range and we found one that closes late! It was up North East-ish in Watford where the driving range wasn't only open to serious players, but even to the school kids! It catered for all types of people as it had some point system (just like bowling) and a restaurant-bar, plus a pool tabel, casino machine and pop music! Very interesting and really good if something like this can be brought to Malaysia but man, the starting cost would be like an atomic bomb...
Aim at the holes....and there is a monitor that keeps track on how far you drive. Quite cool
Early next morning, I woke up to do the Adidas 5k Run to support the Breast Cancer Society. Was really proud to be part of the 17,000 people today to raise £2.5 million! And the run through Hyde Park was nicer too. I finished it in about 27mins (proud). Even sprinted to the end.
Spot me (like this pic)
Hehe, got Ket to come along and do it for the first time. She proudly ran in 33 minutes. Not bad for a first timer! Oh and we had lovely goodie bag after we finish. Came with a nice black shirt, mini deodorant, apple, muesli bar, cranberry sauce, lollies, vitamins and lipstick samples!
My all-time supporter who took the innitiative to actually wake up, walk with me all the way to the starting line, wait for me to finish and carried my bag...xoxoxoxoxoxooxoxo to bits!
Yay! We are going to tim summmmm....hehe
We then head to YumCha at a restaurant (Imperial China) in Chinatown as a reward...reasonable price too. We were super full and only paid £10 each! We were super full and didn't over order too.
And so that was my weekends so far :) .
