#56 - Time to start blogging again, perhaps?

Like Alex, this blog has been ditched for partying after SPM.

Oh who am I kidding, there wasn't much partying at all.

Hmmm. Went to London, watched some musicals, (Hooray! Musicals yaaaaay! Billy Elliot, Jersey Boys, LesMis, Love Never Dies, hooray!) did some shopping, watched my mum do lots of shopping.... Weeeelllll, to be completely honest, I did go a little bit crazy in the massive, beautiful, gorgeous UniQlo store. [It was so massive omg yay.] XD

I also went a bit croissant crazy. I think in the span of two weeks, I ate approximately three croissants a DAY.

=D

I DO LOVE CROISSANTS. THEY ARE SO NUMY I LIKE TO EAT THEM.

Seriously, I just ate them toasty warm, and plain. They were already buttery and gooooooood.

Also I have discovered that I seriously LOVE Pret A Manger (something like Starbucks except cooler and better and awesomer.) The person who runs Pret is some sort of kind-hearted genius, cause every day, they feed homeless people with leftovers and such. And it's not just publicity crap, they actually send the leftovers to the shelters and to people on the streets. I mean, there was this homeless guy just across my hotel, and every morning he would pop in to Pret, and he'd get a free sandwich and coffee.

HOW AWESOME IS THAT WOW?!?!

Not to mention, they sell four types of croissants....and two have cheese in them....one has bacon....one has chocolate.

Oh *drool drool drool droool.*

I was so glad that there was a Pret on nearly every block. XD I think we ate Pret nearly once every two days.

Oh, and the pastries in Paul....mmmmm...again, croissants, palmiers, macaroons, olive baguettes....yum. yum. absolute yum heaven.

Not to mention the delicious delicious ravioli I had in Olive, the wood-fired pizza just across my hotel, the stuffed gnocchi I had after shopping, the siew yok and fried pork in Imperial, the the sausages, sausages, sausages with mashed potatoes and peas and gravy and SAUSAGES.

AND BACON.

I even had square pies! I mean, they were so against round pies or something, because the name of the store was the square pie store. And seriously, they sold only square pies. And since the store was just beside Krispy Kremes I got a doughnut for myself, too. =D

AND SAUSAGES!!! THE MOST DELISH SAUSAGES IN THE HISTORY OF SAUSAGES. NOT SKINNY LAME WEIRD SAUSAGES. FAT JUICY CRISPY OUTSIDE YUMMY INSIDE SAUSAGES.

okay, so some of the best memories I have of London are to do with food.

XD

Whatever. I enjoy my life, okay! :D

Basically what did I do in London besides eat? Actually, not thaaat much. I enjoyed the tours on the double decker bus. Fun fun fun. Musicals, super fun. Shopping...not so fun, but fun nonetheless. Hmmmmm. The views were pretty awesome. Where are my phootoooosss?!?! Here, here. Nope. Wait. Next post, I promise.

Laterr.
