The blogging bandwagon has temporarily abandoned me as reality of life and work hit hard the past couple of months. The dust has finally settled for now and I think I better just finish up the rest of my London and Paris trip... in Insta-mmary version.
Did some Monopoly stops. Yes. I actually dug out my Monopoly set at home and brought along the deed cards with me. Boo said I was crazy and actually shook his head in disbelief when he saw me took them out when we were in London. He also rolled his eyes when I asked him to take the few shots with my S3 but he helped anyway!
 |
| Euston Road. Actually pretty near our hotel. |
 |
| The Angel Islington. Where Boo's 'hood use to be. |
 |
| Regent Street. Where the posh and not shops till they drop. |
 |
| Oxford Street. Where the shops to go to are. |
 |
| Vine Street. Found this by chance. Was a bit hidden. |
One of the days we scheduled for some London sights, was apparently a good sunny day, a combination of sun and cool breeze. Did not do much Instagram shots (saving S3 battery power) so here's the few from London Eye.

| London Eye on a bright sunny day. Shot from the river cruise. |
 |
| Boo and I on top of the London Eye! |
 |
| Pardner in shopping crime. But I not as shopaholic. Haha! |
 |
| Slushies on the grass! Boo couldn't resist. |
Later on the same evening, we made our way to The Shard. A new building in London - almost equivalent to KL's Twin Towers.
 |
| The Shard. Looking up from the 72nd floor. |
 |
| The Shard. View of London from the 72nd floor. |
 |
| Watched "The Chorus Line". Last minute decision. Highly recommended! |
 |
| Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross. Just had to do the tourist thing. |
 |
| Mini #UJ and I walking the streets and markets of London. |
 |
| Pretty tulips in the park. |
 |
| Shadows. |
 |
| Love this composition. Some random place in Liverpool. |
 |
| Must admit. This was the best hot chocolate so far. |
 |
| Apparently, Boo said that this stuffed woogie was sleeping in the same position when it was still alive. Creepy! |
 |
| Hot mocha before Iron Man 3. |
 |
| I like! Tulips in flower boxes doubling up as your wheel's parking. |
 |
| Cannot resist! Chinese roast meat in London. |
 |
| Pretty flowers. Almost felt like I was in Japan. |
 |
| Random. Someone's garden. |
 |
| Yummers brunch at Angel. The Breakfast Club. |
Shopping was one of the agenda as well. No specific objective on what to buy. Just got stuff that cannot get back at home.
 |
| Bought wands! Mine's Hermione. Boo's Snape. |
 |
| Bought this random choo-choo train brooch in the markets of Angel. Pwetty. |
 |
| Bought milk bottles in tray. Coz it was cheaper and prettier than what I can get back home for. |
 |
| Primark shopping. Best place to get souveniers. |
 |
| Blaming Mama-D for a new obsession! |
 |
| See what I mean?!? So pwetty! |
 |
| Result? A new polka-dot bag! |
 |
| Sainsbury student meal ticket. How I wish Malaysia has this too. |
 |
| I love it here! Check out the shelves in Sainsbury! |
 |
| Cakes! Keeping you calm. |
 |
| Cakes! Web-slinging ones. |
 |
| Cakes! Specially thinking of Mama-D! |
 |
| Cakes! Pretty the cake it was. |
 |
| Cakes! Vrooommm! Vrooommm! |
 |
| Saw this in one of the weekend markets. Cool right? |
 |
| So tempted to get this for someone, but the price tag was a wee bit too steep. |
Hmmm... that's almost all. Oh! Met up with an old friend while in London!
 |
| Saw hello to Rustam! It's been good seeing you again! |
And one more last one from UJ and his new friend Pillo-Woogs...
 |
| New BFFs! |
I think I will blog about Paris in part 3. This is already too picture-heavy. And I did not put a day-to-day summary!
