London to Paris

Woke up in the early morning, went for hotel breakfast. Today we tend to visit a lot of places in London. I wished to visit wax museum but parents went twice, i dun think they wanted to go again.

British Museum is only nearby. That will our first place to pay out visit. We walked to the museum. Still too early, and quiet on the steet. British museum is where we spend most of our time. It is huge and the most amazing part is free entrance. I bought a introduction book from the souvenier shop for my coursin. Then we had our lunch at China Town. Heading to tower bridge and big ben after lunch. That was a very emo day, nonstop raining.

Basically we never manage to visit London properly. I din even manage to visit buckingham palace for this trip. Spend a lot on cab, but end up with nothing. I treat my parents to a coffee shop nearby. It is not expensive, Starbucks price in Malaysia.

We went to Tesco Express to buy some foods and drinks, then head to Victoria Coach Station.

Heathlow Airport and London

We reached there around 6am. Took our luggage and went to the custom. The immigration officer ask what is our purpose to be in UK. Checked our detail and asked how long we gonna be there.

Before i left to EU, a lot ppl asked me which country am i going to arrive. When they know it is London, they keep told me that i might be reject to go in to the country. I was kinda worry about that due to i am the 1 that arrange all the itinerary for my parents. If i am not allow to go in, every1 will stucked.

I told her that we will only be in London for 2days 1night. She asked me to show her our ticket leaving from UK, and I showed her the eurolines electronic ticket that i printed out. She stamped our passport, asked me if i visited there b4. I replied her yes, 13years ago. Then she returned our passport and we went in.

Suprisingly i found that they are not checking our luggage at all? Because in Malaysia, when u leaving out, they will have ppl checking for ur belonging there.

I just found that we walked out from the airport and we happened to see the signboard of UNDERGOUND. So i lead my parents there and we bought our ticket to our hotel which is located nearby Russell Square.

London Underground/Tube map *bottom left for london heathlow airport location*

Come out from the Underground, i asked peoples and we reached our hotel, Royal National Hotal in foot steps. Check-ed in, had our breakfast there and we took a cab heading to Victoria which we have to take our shuttle bus to Oxford. We was finding for the station. Seems nobody know the actual location, i walked around finding for it and suddenly somebody trying to stop me. I dun dare to react, due to worried my parents say i simply to to stranger. But my step father stopped him ask if he have something to tell me. He said he saw my hands holding the Oxfordtube paper and point to my step father where is the actual station. Then my step father asked me to stop walking, and said that is the location. I felt so bad... Hereby I say a sorry to u, uncle.

Oxford Tube

We catched up our bus and going to Oxford. A thumb up for the bus service =) i was able to chit chat with my bf due to they are providing wifi service on board wahahha. About 2 hours journey and we reached Oxford. Step father happily holding his chocolate and candies to visit his daughter. Me, mummy and grandmother 3 of us hang out nearby. I visited my first church, in Oxford. Buildings there all amazing. I couldn't believe that i reached in Europe, again after 13years. LOL.

Awhile after when we visiting church, my step father called us and said he done with his stuffs. There we head back to London. We had for our lunch in town, the first proper restaurant i went in Europe for this trip. Every1 seems to be tired, but me. I was really excited and wanted to explore London. Especially by myself. So i told them, I wanted to go out. Mum and grandma said they wanna follow me too, and end up all of them follow me together. I feel very upset due to i felt they jz keep walking on the road, like others. I never get any chances to either go in to a little shop to walk or have a look on their things. Eventually, i blamed them. Why follow me!? And i started to get angry with them.

After reach back together with them in the hotel. I went out alone again. But it is already late, so i never dare to walk too far away.

I never know, step father din't even manage to see his daughter. She just said she dun want to see him anymore. I get to know this only when we was in Italy...If only would i know earlier. I will try my best to cheer him up that day not blaming him i guess. I know that he loved his daughter a lot. Which tend him to go to Europe just to meet her once. Who wished themself to be in a broken family. Nobodies! We as a child sometimes we cant really care what is really happening between our parents. I rather my parents to get divorced, compare with fighting everyday at home. At least, they are both happy with their new family now. My step father is just like a father to me. He does treat me very good all along. Definately, my daddy also. I love all of you. I really hope his daughter will forgive him 1 day. Her actions does hurt him, deeply.. He cried over it, again and again.. Behind us.

Boarding to UK by MAS

I was so nervous and exciting before boarding. We took a cab from house to airport @6pm and reach there bout 7pm+. After get our boarding pass from ticketing counter, we had our dinner at KFC and went in to the duty free shop.
I found they have a L'occitane shop inside duty free area and checked out for some pricing. Din manage to get any due it is originally from France, i thought i might get a cheaper price there. And i was wrong lol.. My parents bought 2 cartons of ciggy and some whiskey then i bought myself a carton of marlboro light too.
The service inflight is very good, a thumb up for the airstewardess! I remembered once i open my eyes and the airstewardess saw then directly pass me some tibits and a drink. But the seat for me is like.. Sucks, so small.. I couldnt sleep well inside there due to the seat. So i choose to watch some movies and keep looking at the GPS to see what is my current location. EU, i am coming..



I took a pic of KLIA b4 i leave.

And a picture of mine, reflect from the windows. Lols..

After boarding, here i am with my cute yeti plushie. Cheese~
