a month into London

It's a near month I'm in London since 24th May. "Do you miss home?" Some people/friends I met here and back home that I talked to online were asking me when I was barely in London for long.

Now a month into London, so what's it about that I'm missing from home? Family and friends excluded.
  1. Radio Stations & Music Variety - There's alot more black music here, not that I have anything against them. They are nice.
  2. My PC & broadband! - I miss stoning in front of my PC in the wee hours doing nothing! Hahaha!
  3. Shopping - It's so much cheaper back home!!!!
  4. Authentic Asian Food - I MISS nasi padang!!!! Pineapple rice!!! Some chinese food here don't even taste nor look chinese!!
  5. MRT & SBS/buses - I miss the aircon and speed. It's stuffy in the transport here when the weather gets hot. It's much cheaper back home too!!!
  6. Fruits - Much cheaper! So much more! I want my papaya!
  7. Bed & Pillows & Bloaster - I MISS my baby bloaster!
Ah, but there must be stuffs here that I'm enjoying and liking!
  1. Cherries & Strawberries - It's their season!! Much cheaper too! YUMMY!!!
  2. Pastry, Cakes, Cookies, Desserts! - Simply heaven! Yummylicious! Wide choices! I simply LOVE the carrort cake at one of the cafe at Sloane Square!!!
  3. Marks & Spencer - LOVE it though not cheap! The food! The sandwiches! Best!
  4. Fashion - Dress as you like! So much more shops, varieties, choices! So much much more! Men here dress up more too! Cool~
  5. People - All sorts: weird, funny, scary, cute, charming, cool, interesting, shocking, rude, good, etc. Different mixtures, more than Singapore!
  6. MTVs - Yeah and certain shows too, like Will & Grace, SATC, both sexually hilarious.
  7. Supermarkets & Sandwiches - Too many choices!
  8. SALES/Shopping - Only time when things cost cheaper : sales!
  9. (Flea) Markets, Museums, Parks - Awesome! I'm fascinated by Richmond Park.
  10. Stockings & Boots - Good for the cooler weather. Woo lala! I'm gonna wear those!
So there you go! I dare say I'm still having a great time here, other than the darn HOT weather otherwise perfect. Gimme a few more months before asking me once more. *Grinz*
