London date

In attempt to make it look like a proper date, Dearie went "Can I have a date with u on XXXXX? We'll go to London ok?"

So there we were, in London yesterday. And that date went really well.

We have been craving for this wonderfully boiled fish head soup for months, but the menu was changed when we got to the same restaurant. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT since we were still excitedly talking about it in the coach. But dim sum went alright. It's been a long time since I had it, and I did enjoy my meal a lot.

Headed down to one of the shops to get my international calling card before we headed to Covent Garden for a view of the English market. It was quite an insight for Dearie, and he was pretty entertained by the road performers. We were actually picked on the streets and asked to kiss publicly. It was an extremely huge crowd around us, and it will look like we're complete spoilsports if we just rejected and try to run away, so despite being shy, we did. Got a round of applause even though the guy said it wasn't big enough. I really wonder what's big then. Did he mean like those in the movies whereby the guy looks as if he wanna eat up the girl? No no...that's a bit overboard if I were to be asked to kiss in public with him.

Loved the handmade jewellery in the market, but it was extremely costly. Sigh..

Walked around the shops there, and I went into Guess! Manz, I just love the clothes there..at least to me, it looks much better than Zara and MNG. The clothes were nicely displayed and everything looked so organised. It's a nightmare each time I walk into Zara and MNG, simply because I totally dread the material of their clothes (turns kiam chai easily), nothing special, and most importantly, the clothes are NEVER ironed (I can't stand crumpled clothes on display..). Fell in love with a beige leather jacket. Design was simple, but the cut was well done. Size is kinda small too, so it wouldn't be a problem for me fitting into it. And the best thing was the leather feel...gosh...! One touch, and u know the price is gonna be costly. And indeed, it costs more than 300 pounds!!!!! Couldn't buy it then, even though I was tempted to take out my card to swipe....heheehe.

Headed to Bayswater for the famous duck rice (we never miss it each time we go there), but because we had yummilicious Mocha Frappucino with whipped cream at Starbucks in Covent Garden, we were too full to actually indulge in the food. In fact, we were struggling to finish up the dishes, which normally doesn't happen.

Walked around Westminster for a bit to look at the lights. Dearie likes the Big Ben very much, so we went to the area near the London Eye to sit down and admire it's grandness from a distance. It was pure happiness laying next to him and being kissed. I felt like some baby kitten...hahaha.

Got on the coach at Victoria and headed back to Cardiff. We were so tired that both of us dozed off throughout the journey. But it was more chatting in bed before we dozed off again. If only I can have this more often.
