Hello from London!

I still can't believe that I'm actually on London ground!! I'm into my 2nd day here already. It's end of spring, but still pretty cold. Can't tell much yet since I've only got here yesterday noon. For the past month in Singapore, life had been really hectic, projects to complete, friends to meet, gatherings to go, stuffs to get and pack, blah blah blah, the list goes on. I was kept busy awake all night till my flight timing in the morning! I didn't had one last chance to sleep on my bed before I flew. That crept on me when I was on the plane. Pity pity. *Chuckles* Oh well...

London's 7 hours behind Singapore. It's morning here now. I woke up pretty early. The sky's already bright and felt like I've slept past the noon. Hahaha... it gets dark here late too. At 9 - 10pm, it's still pretty bright. Cool! But I doubt I'll enjoy winter as much when it comes. Brrrrrrr...

I landed at 12.15pm yesterday. By the time i got out of the customs, it's an hour later. And I had to try get my almost 30kg worth of baggages to my friend's place from the Heathrow Airport right up to Tooting Broadway Station. Phew! And I tell ya, it ain't easy alright! Stairs to climb and tubes to hop on and off. Good thing the peeps here are pretty helpful when I needed some help with my load. By the time I managed to get me and my baggaes in safe pieces to Tooting Broadway, it's already 3pm. Woo hoo~ What a way to go! It wasn't until near 4pm that I met up with my friend for he had something going on and couldn't come sooner. So I stood by the tube entrance looking at the locals, wooo yeah. I really need to get used to living in London. Too many cute guys about for my eyes to feast on. *chuckles*

So I spent my first day getting familiar with my friend's neighbourhood. Then hop on to some busses and tubes and went exploring about for a bit. *Yawns* Pretty tiring since I didn't sleep much on the plane, I tried hard to keep awake in the tubes. I like taking the bus rides. There's more you can see about as compared to the tubes.

Think I'm gonna go get a local number later if possible and some travel passes and get my ass moving about the central London. Hope to see something cheap, maybe like a good winter wear, at the flea marts later if I find one. Haha!

Welcome to London!
