london-ed
2hours flight from SIN to BKK, 3 hours in transit, 12 hours flight + 2 meals from BKK to LON... and finally, here i am! london! the place where i will be doing my working holiday.
landed at london in the morning and the day started out pretty ok. from the airport, my sis and i took a cab to her friend's place. zee, who's putting us up for the time being. his apartment at russell square is really really nice! i hope the place that i am getting is as nice as theirs! hehe.
but after we put our things down, the rest of the day wasn't so smooth sailing. firstly, she had to wait for 3 hours before she can collect her admission letter from LSE. but that was ok, coz we had already made appointments to view flats. the first flat was ok. but the single room was pretty small and it had no lift... so it was out. the second appointment was with another agent and we had an hour to spare. so my sister and i went for a drink. we shared a can of coke. =) and when it was time to meet the second agent, he told us that the flat we wanted to view has just been rented. damns! aiya! waste our time and money. and finally, it ended like this: we were bout to collect a car that we rented becoz my sister has to go to croydon the next day to settle her visa. but guess wat! the car rental co. refuse to rent us the car coz we could notproduce our current UK address. and after soem negotiation, he will only rent us the car if i show him my return air ticket, which i didn't bring along with me! so, i had to run all the way from euston station to russell square! and run back to euston! it's crazy but i got no choice! i was panting like a dog after everything, and we even had to give the guy a tip coz he was suppose to close his shop at 7, but he held him back till 7:30. enough of bad things for a day or my stay in london!!! but after that, we went back to russell square and had dinner and fellowship with my sister's friends... =)
