Sighhhh!!!!
Haven't spend time here quite a long while because I am quite busy. There is nothing much to say really apart from moaning about the weather but I know there is nothing I can do about it. Just feel like to whinge about this and that. In fact I want to say that I am abso-bloody-lutely knackered both physically and mentally. Sighhhhh.....I have been waiting for so long to do something. I am not certain that I can do so but I am going to go for it. Meanwhile I have to refresh my memory and read as much as I can. I know it is going to be a real hard work but I can't step back because I am getting oldddddddd nowwwww!!!!!

Birthday Gifts
My birthday is tomorrow and I bought quite a few of cosmetics for myself. I have bought almost everything on my wish lists but there is one thing that I have to wait which is a NARS product. Sadly, Rain Lip Treatment was out of stock. Anyway, I really like all the items I purchased and I am going to wear them on tomorrow,hahaha! I somehow feel like a child again, I can not wait untill tomorrow! And I am going to have a very posh dinner which will be cooked by me because my hubby is not a good cook >_<" Let alone eating out, it is pricey(sort of an excuse because I have spent a fair amount of money on cosmetics -_-") plus I do not mind cooking as I usually do so everyday.
Right, it is show time for my new items of the months!
*Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15
*Clinique Blended face powder and brush
*MAC Powder Blush/Frankly Scarlet
*MAC Brown set Gel
*The Body Shop Lipstick/Bare Lip
*The Body Shop Kabuki Brush - No picture
*No.7 Beauty Serum - No picture
I also want to buy NARS Exhibit A colour but I already spent over the budget so I might get it next year or perhaps X's mas?!!. +_+

Westminster Abbey
Our last day in London, we decided to visit Westminster Abbey because of its history. My hubby was so eager to see the place and he was not disappointed at all. Everything is so impressive and full of interesting historical background. We usually see the interior on the TV screen on the occasion of the Coronation and princess Diana's funeral. We spent about 3 hours exploring the interior and then we walked toward St's James Park and Horse Gaurd Parade area. I wish I had more time to stroll around the park and take pictures but it is pity that I could not do so.
The final place that I wanted to visit is Buckingham Palace. I saw the building in front of me and I said to myself " that looks familiar, of course I saw this outstanding building on postcards when I was a kid!" I was thrilled and excited just to see the Queen's house! Hahaha! After I had taken enough pictures, my hubby and I agreed to go to China town and we had dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant. I totally love the food and I wanted to go back there again, next trip surely! But, to be honest, I prefer China town in Manchester because of the gate which is bigger than the one in London. I thought that Boris had agreed to build a new gate in China town, I guess, I must have been mistaken.
Last but not least, I went to Harrods! Again I wish I had more time to explore the shop but my hubby was not in the mood. Anyway, I have bought something as a momento so I can happily say farewell to London. It was sad because I wanted to see more of London. Well, 3 days was not enough to explore thoroughly. Next trip to London is going to be all about photography for sure. No more hurried sightseeing because I couldn't cope with the fast-pace-tour with my hubby again!

The Tower of London
We went to the Tower of London on Sunday and lucky enough that we had one free ticket because we traveled by train so we can get a 2 for 1 offer,Hurray! I don't think many people know about this offer. The admission fee to the Tower of London was £17 per adult but that doesn't stop people queuing to get tickets.There were long queues as usual, finally we got our tickets and we entered the gate, walked around the area then we queued up to get inside the building to see the crown jewels. It was a very very long queues and when the moment came we went on the escalator 5 times to see the crown jewels! I couldn't take my eyes of the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond, it is magnificent! I also liked the design of a small diamond crown of Queen Victoria, absolutely splendid! It was really worth it and I am honoured to be able to see the greatest collection of Crown jewels - The symbols of the British monarchy.
Afterward we went to the White Tower and walked around the area, I saw about 3 or 4ravens as well. Later on we visited the Tower Bridge exhibition because we also had a 2 for 1 offer ticket, then we walked to the other side of the River Thames before we caught a tube back to Euston.
The House of Parliament and the Clock Tower

Three Days in London
My hubby drove me to London on the 19th of last month, it was Friday and the traffic was as dreadful as the weather, we got stuck in the traffic because of an accident plus school holidays had started and lots of people were going on holiday just like us. It took about 5 hours till we arrived at Hamel Hemstead where we stayed. We were quite exhausted anyway we had a lovely dinner in the restaurant nearby. It was the best fish and chips I have ever had! It was my gourmet heaven,affordable and reasonably priced.
We began our trip to London on Saturday, it was my first trip to London and I was so excited! We traveled by train from Hamel Hempstead to Euston and when we arriveed at Euston station I felt the dynamic, hectic lifestyle and diversity, it was somehow different from Manchester in my opinion. I couldn't wait to explore London and the first place we visited was St's Pual Cathedral. The admission fee is not cheap but it is worth it and it was a once in a lifetime experience. When I stepped inside the building I can not find words to explain the interior decoration, it is beyond magnificence, genuinely impressive. We went up to the top of the dome and there were long queues but when we reached the viewpoint, it was breathtaking! Fortunately the sky was clear so we could see London from above. Oh! it was fantastic!! I think I fell in love with London.
After visiting St's Paul Cathedral, we went to the Tower of London but it was quite late when we arrived so we decided to walk around the area instead, I took loads of pictures of the Tower Bridge before we went on a cruise tour. Then we arrived at the dock near the House of Parliament area and there I was, stood in front of the Clock Tower which is one of the most famous landmarks in the world. After that we walked toward Trafalgar Square, we walked past Downing Street, the Queen's household cavalry then arrived at Trafalgar Square. I took a lot of pictures but I did't have enough time to play with the camera setting and the weather was cloudy and I am disappointed with the results. Anyway, I enjoyed the day so that's all matter to me.

Bill Bailey Live tour in Manchester
Bill Bailey had performed in The Palace Theater in Manchester last Firday. Me and my hubby went to see his Live tour for the first time. I can actually say that it was my first experience to see Live stand up comedy and I was so excited. I booked the ticket for two and our seats were at Grand tier A row. Literally speaking my seat was quite far away from the comedian, and it was almost like watching the act from a bird's eye view point. The seats were occupied by the audiences, once I was inside the building I was thrilled by the size of the hall which is quite small as well as the decoration. The act started at 8 pm and finished at 10 pm but I wanted more! Hahaha! Bill Bailey began the jokes about Britney Spears that she blundered " Hello, London!"(while performing in Manchester). Well, apparently someone forgot to tell her where she was! (This is my joke by the way.)
I must admit that I absolutely enjoyed his performance, it was sensationally brillant,superb jokes and what a talented musician he is! I persume that he can play any instruments. Gosh! He is so cool!!!! Love the joke about 30 seconds sunshine and it was so true because I am actually act like that whenever the sun stick its head out of the clouds. Another memorable act is the short film at the end of the show it was absolutely hilarious. Genius Bill! Can't wait to see more of your acts!
