uk! 29 june-5 july............................















isn't this pretty?? it's the view from the apartment. damn cool! it overlooks regents park. the last few times we went in winter, the view was pretty bleak cos all the trees were bare. but this time it's summer!!!!!!!!!!! they've got all sorts of lovely flowers everywhere. and the cool thing about summer is that it doesn't get dark til about 10 in the evening. plenty to do in the evening! oh and i'm sad they took softball out of the olympics cos it was going to be held in the park! now wouldn't that be something? sigh.
















hmm with my sisters. don't look like me at all right? hee hee everyone says they look alike. and i'm the tallest! this was when we went to the london branch of OCBC bank to settle some stuff. london is actually quite cool in summer.... i had to wear a jacket out most times. but with flip flops!
















goose crossing in regents park..........
















daisies in the summer! (at least i think they're daisies...)
















on friday morning we left for cambridge! went punting the whole afternoon. we hired our own boat. it's really really fun!! in this pic you can see the mathematician's bridge (or mathematics bridge) originally built by newton i think. he didn't use a single bolt. but nobody believed him so they took the bridge apart and discovered that there were REALLY no bolts. but then after that they couldn't put it together again. so now the bridge has bolts.





















punting.......... my dad insisted on taking a picture when i desperately needed to concentrate. we crashed into a wall after this i think. heh i tried racing with this guy down the river! but then rounding a bend, i couldn't steer very well (at such high speeds) so i crashed again and pinned his boat to the wall! hah! so i won :)





















the next day was graduation! with the smarty-pants graduate. check out her cool outfit with furry bits! haha we had to walk all the way down from her college to senate house for the ceremony and then walk back up the hill. about a half hour walk. shite my heels were killing me. then a lovely garden party in the college. yummy yummy food. yummy yummy bubbly!! i think i had 3! :S















went to greenwich too. aboard this tea clipper called the cutty sark...
















the view from the observatory where the greenwich line runs through. cool! very accurate time :) and there was camera obscura, first ever (i think) pinhole camera.
















eeeee my sister forced us all to see chelsea stadium. being no football fan, it was surprisingly quite fun! damn the players shower with molton brown! then went to this pub nearby and watched federer annihilate roddick. wimbledon rocks! too bad we couldn't get tickets :(
















krispy kremes! great way to end! haha i ate 3 and then felt really ill.
