london



thats a very fast but yet enriching trip which ive embarked. last destinatin was london. when i talk about london, cant help mate it has got to be futbol talk again! shoo... shoo... for those not into futbol, just like my dear wifey, please do not proceed further.

compared to scotland, we took much much lesser pics over at london. e buildings were so english-style and probably we were have seen so much of scottish-english buildings, those presented to us in london were not a single bit impressive at all. worst, people mountain people sea! its just so crowded in london!! sometimes i am thinking it could be possible to walk pass a celebrity in london without you realizing it.. and what.. ive exchanged shoulders with a dragonforce (a band) guitarist - herman! his long curly hair caught my attention in e underground, before i am certain he was herman e guitarist, one of his friends called him as in "hey herman"! thats affirmative! all happened in split-second dude!

shopping was a disappointment for my dear wifey. apparently everything was expensiver and sadly our pounds were not meant for that spending. however saying that, i treated myself to my first ever EPL jersey - i bought an arsenal home jersey with customized printing at near 60pounds! of course i knew that e price would be slightly cheaper if im going to buy that jersey back in singapore but you know lah, e feeling of buying that at emirates was not e same! so when you see me in that jersey, ask me where i bought it!!! im gonna answer you proudly "i bought it from emirates stadium"!

okay, start now... my favourite trips in london would definitely be stamford bridge and e emirates! coincidentally my stay in london fell on one of chelsea's home game (vs blackpool). oh well, managed to convince joanne to accompany me there for photo-taking though. shot here shot there while walkin in e blues! someone even attempted to sell me game tickets but joanne was quick to brush that fellow off... save e details on that. next was e emirates stadium tour, fantastic eye-opener trip for sure! practically e emirates was built surrounding e ideas of arsene wenger. his manager was kind of wicked but i was totally impressed by every single detail which he has thought. today, emirates stadium stand proudly at london and i believe from now onwards, i will be following e european futbol more closely especially e scottish premier league.

for this trip, i didnt really buy much stuffs, as in ive planned to get certain stuffs from this UK trip but probably my expectation was way too heaven high - i felt disappointed. prior to this trip, i would imagine walking on a london street, there would be plenty of futbol stores at every corner... oh well, that's not e case. only managed to get famous piccadilly circus lilywhites and soccer scene at carnaby.

overall, an enriching free n easy trip for me. an eye-opener as far as futbol is concerned. i did uploaded some pics in my facebook, wont be putting up any here unless if theres anyone whos following my blog want to see?? sum it up, great trip, now jun has returned and will be better.
